Awarded Best of Zola
When my soon-to-be husband had a table saw accident just days before our wedding, we didn’t know if we’d make it out of the hospital in time to celebrate, let alone how everything was going to come together. We need not have worried. Natalie and the folks at Kimwood Ranch took SUCH good care of us! From the moment we stepped onto the Ranch, we felt like family. Seriously, they helped turn one of the most overwhelming weeks in our lives, into the very best. From all the tiny details, to the big stuff, Natalie was on the ball. She was great with communication and she guided us throughout our planning process. When it came to the wedding, she understood our vision and made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of. And did I mention how beautiful the ranch is?!? Just being there made us and our guests so happy. It’s peaceful. It’s private. You feel like you're in your own little world. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you Kimwood Ranch!

The Knotty Oak 

5.0

Philo, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The oldest house in Philo (1888), it was Anderson Valley’s first post office and stagecoach stop that decades later was the Philo Pottery Inn. During the painstaking restoration we did using nearly all salvaged materials, its secrets and history began to resurface. We were constantly discovering little finds, over 200 1880's old glass bottles buried on the grounds to the headline clad 1915 newspaper lined walls in the main house. It’s been part remodel and archeological dig. Now it’s ready to host events & make fresh memories for decades to come. A few years ago we were lucky enough to add 20+ acres of open meadow lands & forest contiguous to TKO for events & glamping and built an amphitheater by Indian Creek in the woods. We can host up to 100 and have have 12 bedrooms in three fab houses, plus glamping tents. There are so many ways to utilize the property and also vintage trailers and wacky Japanese cars to get creative with. Come see for yourself and be part of its evolving history.

The Knotty Oaks property is situated in the stunning wine region of Anderson Valley, which is surrounded by several excellent wineries. The property is located near the Navarro River and Hendy Woods State Park, providing numerous opportunities to relax, unwind, and explore the valley's hidden gems. Over the past year and a half, we have enjoyed observing the development of the property. The main house and guest houses have unique personalities and make wonderful spaces to entertain and gather. The property itself is magnificent, featuring beautiful meadows and a creek that we loved exploring. There is a lot of potential for hosting gatherings of all sizes and styles throughout the property. Mary is a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and consistently provides thoughtful, kind answers.

Don't get married here...only because it's the absolute most special place on the planet and I want it all to myself :) .... It may feel like a trek for guests, but there is nothing like it out there. It's magical when you are here, and words can't describe it. There are so many places on the property to fall in love with. The staff was so supportive throughout our planning process and even more helpful during our wedding weekend — they even went as far as dismantling the front porch when my diamond earring fell through the cracks! Perfect is a hard word to live up to, but Whispertree is effortlessly enchanting and unique. Our wedding weekend surpassed anything that we could've imagined it to be, and we'll forever remember this place. We almost want to get divorced so we can get married here again

There was no component of our wedding weekend more complimented than the venue itself. People could not stop remarking about the beauty of Switzer Farm and how lucky they felt to have had the opportunity to visit. Many have said they'd like to get married there next! Gary and Dolores were a joy to work with and we appreciated the extra effort they both took to familiarize us and our vendors with the property. We felt extra, extra grateful to have had the opportunity to stay onsite for our wedding and enjoyed the beautiful accommodations, kitchen, and access to our wedding! The extra special opportunity to spend more time with our families at Switzer will be cherished forever.

The Red Barn Ranch was truly our dream wedding venue. Not only is it rustic and beautiful but it radiates love and family. The Rorabaugh's are the most down to earth and loving hosts you could ever hope for. They are there for you when you need but they also allow you a lot of freedom to create the exact experience you want. And they work hard to accommodate whatever you need for your special day. For example, she allowed me to have alpacas at our wedding and talked to the Alpaca handler about the best way to get in and set up so I didn't have to. Our wedding was a dream; from the rehearsal dinner at the venue and staying in the bridal suite, to the hustle of getting ready, to walking down the aisle and finally to dancing the night away. The accommodations were unparalleled and the venue is so beautiful, it saved me tons on florals and decor. Also when booking this venue, you get access on Friday and don't have to be gone until 3 the following Sunday. They also allow guests to camp in tents or bring RVs. This was one of my favorite parts about our wedding. A lot of my family stayed in their RVs and the morning after the wedding, it was the cutest and most fun little camp site. The proprietor woke in the morning to feed their cows and invited my little cousins to join. They also brought out their horses and my niece got to ride a horse for the first time. The pond is an adorable hang out spot where they allow catch and release fishing and rides around in the canoe plus it is an amazing background for pictures. My little nephews were having the best time chasing frogs and catching fish. When you book your wedding or other special event with Red Barn Ranch, you are not going to be disappointed. You are booking the most perfect experience with some of the most wonderful and caring people.
