Ancient redwoods, a lazy green river, and wine country's most welcoming little town. Intimate weddings for 2–50 guests.
For a ceremony, the redwoods change everything. Getting married inside a grove of thousand-year-old trees feels closer to a cathedral than most cathedrals do. It works in any weather, since the canopy handles sun and drizzle alike. Dawn Ranch puts lodge, lawn, and forest on one riverside property. Korbel has been making sparkling wine at the forest's edge since 1882.
Guerneville is also, by a wide margin, one of the most welcoming towns in wine country. It's a longtime LGBTQ+ haven where every kind of couple and every kind of wedding is genuinely celebrated, not just accommodated.
We plan the whole day. A redwood or riverside ceremony, then dinner at a lodge or under lights on a lawn. Every included piece is handled from our end. That's your officiant, florals, and cake. It's also hair & makeup, day-of coordination, and your planning portal.
Guerneville is where the Russian River slows down under the redwoods, and the whole town moves at that speed. It's been a getaway for a century and it wears the history well. Cabin resorts, a walkable main street, and Armstrong Redwoods five minutes from downtown. That's 800 acres of old-growth forest.

The Place
Armstrong Redwoods is five minutes from town — a quiet, cool, cathedral-light grove that makes a 15-person ceremony feel monumental.
Guerneville has been an LGBTQ+ haven for decades. Whatever your wedding looks like, this town has celebrated one like it — warmly, and for a long time.
Cabin resorts, canoe rentals, beer gardens, and a main street you can walk end to end. Your wedding weekend comes with a built-in summer-camp-for-adults itinerary.

Questions
Packages run $4,500–$9,500 by guest count. Each one covers your officiant, florals, and cake. You also get hair & makeup, a day-of coordinator, and your planning portal. Venue, food & beverage, and photography are separate. Redwood grove permits are modest, and riverside resorts like Dawn Ranch price by space and season.
Yes — the reserve has designated ceremony sites, including a redwood circle, bookable by permit for small groups. We handle the permit, the site rules, and timing so the grove is at its quietest for your ceremony.
It's in the middle of the Russian River Valley. Korbel is at the edge of town, and dozens of pinot and chardonnay producers line River Road and Westside Road within 20 minutes. Redwood ceremony, vineyard tasting the next morning. Easy.
Reliably comfortable. The canopy keeps groves cool on hot days and sheltered on drizzly ones, which makes redwood ceremonies one of the safest outdoor bets in the county year-round. Summer riverside afternoons are warm and golden.

Every package includes a personal planner, day-of coordination, and your own planning portal, one place where your timeline, vendors, and decisions live from day one to your wedding day.
