Venue Setting
Island Farm is a 586-acre private estate nestled in the coastal hills of San Gregorio, just 40 miles south of San Francisco. This gorgeous venue boasts towering redwood groves, lush ferns, a 100-year old rustic log cabin, a Bavarian-style barn and a large tranquil pond — a dream come true for anyone who loves nature. Eighty acres of spectacular redwood forests with the Corte Madera Creek running through it provide a fairytale-like setting that is serene, enchanting and completely secluded. Family-owned for 100 years, Island Farm is also a sustainable working cattle ranch that supports fifty head of cattle and grows 150 acres of oat hay.
The possibilities for your event at Island Farm are limited only by your imagination. You may choose to hold your ceremony or an intimate dinner in the “cathedral” surrounded by majestic redwoods or host a served dinner pondside, underneath the redwood canopy with dappled light during the day and dramatic lighting as night falls.

Weddings

When it comes to selecting a wedding venue, there are lots of outdoor options to choose from – urban rooftops, charming courtyards, rolling hills of vineyards – and yet, the most majestic of all the choices is to go somewhere deep in the forest and exchange your vows under the trees. But how can you pull that off while still including all your loved ones? These forested venues have you covered. We’ve done the forest scavenging for you and come up with a glass greenhouse that’s tucked under a canopy of wattle trees, a log cabin in a redwood grove, a vintage summer camp in a forest and so much more.

If the sheer quantity of venues on this list is any indication of a worldwide desire to connect, gather and celebrate just about anything, consider us impressed. There’s a beachside barn in Australia where you can host an environmentally conscious wedding with lodging for all your guests. There’s an old church in New Orleans filled with relics that doubles as an incredible photography and styling workshop space. There’s a new hotel in downtown Portland that’s killing it by celebrating the head chef’s Texan roots. There’s even a cute little hideaway in the countryside of Idaho where the sweetest family of all time is ready and waiting to make your wedding dreams come true. Whatever kind of venue you’re on the hunt for, we sure hope you find it in the list below.
