This site is advertised as an "outdoor redwood wedding cathedral" which is a great description of how gorgeous it is. It offers a private redwood ceremony/dining site as well as a gorgeous green lawn area for your wedding.
Stone steps lead up to a spectacular redwood stage area for your ceremony. Our favorite setup is to have your ceremony amid the towering redwood tree on the stage in their grove, then allow caterers to set up a long table right in the grove following your ceremony. This gives you the ability to actually dine amid the redwoods--a feature that very few sites offer.
Alternatively, you may have a dinner set up on their lawn area.
There are also gorgeous gardens and a patio area complete with fountain which is a great spot for photos or an area for your guests to gather for appetizers/cocktails.
Note: This site does NOT offer an indoor backup site and only books weddings from May through October.
