Here are some things you should know...
Thank you for coming to our wedding celebration weekend! Redwood Ranch is a beautiful, private, 190 acre oasis with riverfront swimming holes and waterfalls. We intend to enjoy the ranch for the whole weekend and all events and activities will be taking place on site at the ranch.
Here is the low-down: We would love to see everyone as much as possible and therefore encourage guests to unplug with us for meals, swimming and hang time. All day, every day! The ranch is approximately 30-45 minutes from the tiny downtown of Three Rivers and while there is wifi at the venue if you are near the house- there is no cell phone service. There is a land line at Redwood Ranch: (559) 370-4043. Check out the website below for pictures of the relaxing swimming holes and property.
We welcome you to camp with us at Redwood Ranch! There are many rural camp spots available, we will have three very nice, air conditioned bathrooms set up near the venue that include sinks and flushable toilets. We also plan to set up several solar shower stations and a spacious, tall, dressing room tent with a full length mirror and a clothes rack.
If you are camping with us we encourage you to purchase our weekend catering option because the use of any fire, including jet-boils, are prohibited due to the fire risk. We are very excited and have put a lot of effort into cultivating this catering option to make the weekend more relaxing for all of our guests. We have been fortunate enough to have our friends at Flora & Fauna Catering joining us for the whole weekend. They will be providing meals from the Friday Welcome Lunch through the Sunday Pancake Buffet. *All meals are Gluten and Dairy Free and will include optional add ins for Gluten and Dairy. Snacks throughout the day and non-alcoholic beverages will be included. Feel free to bring your favorite drinks along to enjoy during daytime activities. Example menu is below.
Redwood Ranch charges $25 per person, per night for camping. The catering package is $120 per person total for Friday lunch through Sunday breakfast. Camping charge is not included in the catering package. Please RSVP for camping & catering on our events page.
Throughout the weekend we plan to have swimming, music, a beautiful and relaxing covered lounge tent with seating, drinks and hammocks, Dj's for days... our incredible friend Mikey will be our host Dj, live music, yoga, tasting with the wine makers and an art gallery.
If you opt to stay in town or at an AirBnb nearby- we would love to have you hang with us! Let us know if you would like to purchase the catering option to have meals, snacks and beverages provided at the ranch for the whole weekend!
A note about children: We LOVE your children and welcome them to our celebration weekend. That being said… this is a rural ranch with 10 ft deep swimming holes right in front of the wedding venue, please ensure your own child’s safety- there will be no lifeguards. This is a stunning natural setting that also happens to come with critters, ranch animals and predatory animals. Our late evening celebrations will include alcoholic beverages and THC/CBD edibles. Please keep this all in mind when bringing your children (whom we adore) along. We want to keep everyone safe and having fun ~ so please keep a very close eye on your little ones if they are coming
Dogs: We love dogs! Very well behaved dogs on leash are welcome at the venue- however there are a few things to note. First off, this is our dog, Berkeley's weekend just as much as it is ours - therefore only dogs whom have met and get along with Berkeley are allowed :). The working farm animals and wild peacocks are residents here and we do not want these gorgeous ‘locals’ to be harmed or harassed. The ranch requires that dogs be leashed. It is absolutely necessary that you clean up after your pet asap.
**Sample Menu** This menu will be altered as the wedding date approaches as Flora & Fauna only uses what is fresh and in season- however this is an example and gives you an idea of our weekend catering package.
