The Sonoma Ranch

Last fall we started our ceremony location search. Since we met in Sonoma County and have spent hours riding together along the vineyard lined roads near Santa Rosa, we thought it would be a perfect place for us to get married. After some diligent searching, Janelle stumbled upon a craigslist ad for The Sonoma Ranch. We scheduled a visit on a dreary November afternoon, and not even grey skies could hide how pretty this location was. We fell in love with it and jumped at the chance to reserve our spot.

We hope that you will enjoy the property when you're there for the weekend. Here are some pics from our first and second visits. Our pics don't do it justice. Check out the website here.
