Planning A Wedding In Nature? Get Hitched in Mendocino

Mendocino County is one of the most splendid destinations in the county for its miles and miles of rugged coastline, charming inns and glamping spots, locally driven restaurants, and eternal views. Whether your style is high-toned or hippie, Mendocino has an outdoor wedding spot that will tickle the fancy of you and your betrothed. And because it is only a few hours drive from the San Francisco Bay Area, you can easily get guests up to Mendo from SFO. It feels remote, but it's not too remote, logistically speaking — a perfect combination for wedding-planning.

One cool choice is situated just a half-mile from Mendocino National Forest. The Oak Granary is a land-based environmental education organization in the Potter Valley, a 305-acre organic farm with a steel barn for events that can accommodate up to 150 people. Three houses on-site can comfortably speel up to 20, and there are campground facilities for up to 50.

Over by the coast, Spring Ranch Agricultural Preserve is a 1,000-acre dairy and cattle ranch amidst a fragrant eucalyptus forest — the largest on the entire California coast. The working organic farm morphs into a rustic-chic event venue with its classic 1840s salvaged wedding barn from Ontario, Canada. On the property is a 5,500 square-foot, 19th century Victorian home, as well as a honeymoon loft, which invokes the feeling of being in a tree house.
