The Barns

As the name suggests, this is their main barn venue. If your wedding vision includes a rustic feel, then The Barns might be a good option for you!

Monterey Beach House

Envisioning saying “I do” with your toes in the sand? They’ve got ya covered! Getting married at the Monterey Beach House will give you amazing views of the Monterey Peninsula and the sunsets are out of this world. After sunset, you can even have a bonfire and s’mores on the beach! They have both indoor and outdoor spaces for you to choose from.

Perry House Monterey

The Perry House is a mix of historic, charming, and contemporary! The gardens and bay views are enough to make anyone interested in this venue. It was recently renovated specifically with weddings in mind, so you can have your ceremony and reception in one place.

The Hastings House Garden

The Hastings House Garden is one of the most beautiful, private northern California microwedding venues. The estate is right on the edge of the Pacific Coast, making for an awesome beachfront venue. You can also utilize the gardens for both your ceremony and reception! The gardens were designed back in 1984 by Linda Montalto Patterson who has a background in the fine arts. So as you can probably guess, the gardens are definitely the star of the show. If you’re interested in booking The Hastings House as your venue, you can contact them via email at linda@hastingshouseweddings.com.

Cornerstone Sonoma

Yet again, we have two different sister venues here! Cornerstone Sonoma is a wine country marketplace that also offers a variety of different venue locations. The two main ones are:

Cornerstone Gardens

Each venue has three different locations for each aspect of your wedding day. You’ll have your ceremony at the Lily Pond Lawn, dinner at the Wedding Garden, and dancing at the Garden Barn.

Barn at Harrow Cellars

This venue site offers great views of Carneros’ rolling hills, which would be a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony. You can have your ceremony right outside The Barn for the views, or you can hold it inside where you can also have your reception. Or, you can hold your reception on the Harrow Lawn that’s surrounded by vineyards! Last but not least, you can have your ceremony on the Willow Lawn, which is said to be the crowning jewel of this venue.
