The spaceA six-acre Spanish Revival estate in Guerneville with 21 luxury bedrooms, five indoor/outdoor event spaces including Chef's Meadow, Courtyard, and Stavrand Hall. Small enough to treat you as their only client, large enough for 150 guests. On-site catering ranges from casual buffet to formal foodie dining. The whole "arc" of a wedding weekend works here — welcome reception through send-off brunch. Destination wedding perfection.
What's includedFive indoor/outdoor spaces: Stavrand Hall (reception dinners), Courtyard, The Bower (hilltop ceremony site), and Belden House (a historic-landmark after-party space, not pet-friendly). Black folding chairs, banquet tables with navy linens, lawn games, property-wide wifi, welcome baskets, and daily complimentary breakfast for hotel guests are included.
Food & drinkIn-house chefs serving local, seasonal Sonoma County fare, spread across the weekend as cocktail hour, family-style reception dinner with wine pairings, open bar and late-night bites.
