    Delightful brief stay at The Nest at ru Farm - a most charming place! The cottage is as depicted on VRBO, & most comfy bed & linens - did NOT want to get our of bed in the morning! The surrounding gardens that are part of the ru Farm venue & vineyard vista are worth the trip to visit there alone! So many photo ops. And so close to the wonderful small town of Healdsburg with lots of great restaurant options. Easy process to check in & out. Sure hope to return!

    Ah this place is absolutely magical and breathtaking!!! My husband and I got married at Ru's Farm this past summer (we booked in 2019 but due to COVID we postponed to 2021). I can't say enough positive things about the venue, the views, the team (Lele - who was our main point of contact here is WONDERFUL!). The grounds are beautifully kept. The views... I'm still speechless. Our guests kept telling us how beyond beautiful the property is! It has that rustic feel but also very timeless & romantic. The barn onsite is a great place to gather to dance and is amazing. We stayed onsite at the cottage, which is so clean & beautiful. It also makes it so convenient to get ready and gather before the wedding! With all the craziness of this past year, Lele was nothing short of amazing! Beyond sweet, flexible with the changes, and extremely responsive. I'd love to have our wedding day all over again ;) THANK YOU LELE and Ru's Farm for holding such a special place in our hearts!! It was a perfect day!!!

    The "Nest" at Ru's Farm is the best place that we have stayed in Sonoma. We would get up early each morning and hike nearby at Shiloh Springs Regional Park.Then on the way back we would stop at Quail and Condor for bread/goodies. We enjoyed the French Press and Fellow water heater and would enjoy our breakfast on the back porch overlooking the vineyard. We always find our way to the Healdsburg Market on Saturday morning for gourmet foods and beautiful produce. We also check out the Bohemian Creamery for great cheeses. It was delightfully cool in the mornings and late evenings so we could open the screened windows and enjoy the country air.

    Ru's Farm is such a beautiful place to get married! After searching all around for the perfect venue in the Napa and Sonoma area, I was starting to think we just wouldn't find the right combination of a beautiful outdoor space that felt private, surrounded by nature, but still with a touch of luxury. I was also very keen on the idea of getting married under a big beautiful tree that would offer shade for us and our guests. Ru's Farm ended up being just what we were looking for! We were sold on it from the moment we saw the old olive trees at the entrance! The big oak tree is the perfect place for a ceremony and the garden and barn can be decorated to feel as luxurious as you want. It is also very nice and quiet and feels like your own private place to celebrate with family and friends. It was just the right size for our wedding of around 85 people. It also has a beautiful smell of lavender when you enter thanks to all the lavender plants by the cocktail space. Lele was also great to work with and was helpful when we needed to postpone the date due to the pandemic. Definitely recommend! The wine growlers are also a really cute touch that make for great keepsakes from your wedding day! And I recommend booking the cottage to get ready in or just to enjoy the hot tub with a view of the stars before or after the wedding.

    My husband and I fell in love with Ru's Farm at the start of our wedding venue search and knew it was the perfect place for our event - the setting is quintessential wine country, with a truly stunning view of the valley from the property (everyone had such incredible photos!). It perfectly showcases the natural beauty of the region, and the owners (who are the absolute sweetest people) have carefully landscaped the garden such that we didn't need extra flowers or decor - it was stunning as-is. The reception, ceremony, and dinner areas are nestled together, which created an intimate feeling at the actual wedding, and the barn is perfect for a grand entry and dancing. We rented the VRBO on-site as well, which was a treat during the wedding weekend and an easy place to get ready and stay after the wedding. More than the gorgeous setting and thoughtful setup, though, is how fantastic Ru's and Bella were in navigating planning a wedding during COVID. They worked with us to shift the date, and were gracious and empathetic throughout. I could not recommend a more laid-back yet expert team in Lele and her family. Bella, their partner and wine provider, is a place we've long enjoyed, and made picking out wedding wine very fun. Everything felt seamless and easy, and the day itself was memorable in every way. Highly highly highly recommend! We'd choose Ru's again in a heartbeat!

    Truly the BEST place we could have imagined to get married. We found Ru's Farm early in our venue search at the suggestion of our also fabulous wedding planner Cristina Heald. When we walked onto Ru's we just knew this was exactly where we wanted to get married. First, Lele, who runs the show at Ru's is just such a kind, fun and warm person. She made us feel right at home and when we had to delay in 2020 (booked in 2019, delayed summer 2020 to summer 2021), she was just so understanding and wonderful to work with. We really can't say enough wonderful things about her. Second, Ru's Farm is beyond beautiful and just set up to make the wedding flow seamlessly. Every little space at Ru's is picturesque- our guests could not stop commenting on how stunning the whole venue is. Guests walk in thru these gorgeous olive trees and into an open cocktail space with loads of native flowers and fresh lavender. The ceremony site in under this beautiful large oak tree overlooking the vines. You really can't pick a more perfect backdrop. Dinner is under more perfectly placed olive trees just in front of the barn. And then the dance party gets started in the amazing barn- we also had our desserts, a lounge area, bar space and photo booth all in there so it's really spacious! My parents stayed on-site at the cottage which made it really easy for them when they were ready to call it a night. We also used that space for all the ladies to get ready and the second, smaller cottage for the guys. Made everything run really smoothly. We are so happy that we chose to get married at Ru's and would do it all over again in a heart beat. Absolutely magical!

    This is a breathtaking wedding venue- elegant yet rustic, like you stepped into a Tuscan dream scene with bees buzzing about the lavender and the stately old olive trees lining the walk. My daughters June wedding here was sublime, thanks in no small part to the venue's manager Lele. Communication was easy and direct and the recommendations for vendors familiar with the property were spot on. Our guests loved everything about it- a stunning ceremony space under a cork tree with vineyards views forever. A separate chic cocktail area and dinner tables in yet another area all shaded from the afternoon sun. The barn is charming for dancing with a separate inside bar and a dessert table. The vendors love working at Ru's farm- so many photo opportunities! Gardens and scenery. It's got it all. We can't thank Ru's enough for making this special day spectacular.

    If I could pick my own "Groundhog Day", it would be our wedding day at Ru's Farm. I never expected how wonderful that day was going to be. We had planned for years to get married in our back yard, which has incredible sweeping views of Alexander Valley, and then meet our guests at a venue afterward for dinner and dancing. When we first visited ru's farm as the possible dinner venue, we immediately decided to perform the ceremony there too. The beautiful back drop rivaled our own backyard view, and the convenience of doing the whole evening in one place made it a no-brainer. The property is not only breathtaking, but perfectly laid out with defined cocktail, ceremony, dinner and dancing areas, while still feeling like one space where we could be all together the whole evening. The charm of the barn, the convenience of the cottage, and the many photo ops around just added to a long list of amenities at our fingertips while planning our day. We started the day with our wedding party, in the cottage, toasting with bubbles to wash away the jitters, while peeking out the window watching our guests arrive, walking down the olive tree path with huge smiles as they explored the venue. We then took our vows under the cork tree, with the vineyard as a backdrop. It felt surprisingly intimate, even with 142 guests witnessing, and showering us with love and support. We returned to the cottage to freshen up immediately after the ceremony, as the guests were ushered to the cocktail area for refreshments. There was plenty of room for all of them to mingle, with a full bar and band to entertain them. As they celebrated in the cocktail area, and we freshened in the cottage, the staff was easily able to break down the ceremony chairs and replace them with comfortable lounge areas on the lawn. I had requested that swap, so that the beautiful view of the vineyards was available to everyone for the rest of the night. When we returned to greet our guests, and receive an overwhelming flood of love and congratulations, we had a wonderful dinner on finely set tables under the sycamore trees. The contrast of the rustic farm outdoor setting, and the elegantly set dinner tables was striking. After toasts and cutting of the cake, we disappeared for a few minutes, until our band leader commanded the crowds attention to announce us. The barn doors, which had been closed up until that point, opened to us already in the midst of our first dance. A few minutes later we waved our guests into the barn to dance the rest of the evening away. The barn experience was an unexpected "cherry on the top" for all of our guests. The evening was perfect. We were on a high for weeks afterward, but we had decided we would not become "those obnoxious newlywed" who were always working their wedding into the conversation (even though we really wanted to). Well, we didn't have to. Every time we see friends since (it's been over 3 months) THEY bring it up for us, and walk to talk through all of the details. We've heard more than a dozen times "Don't tell my wife (husband) this, but that was the best wedding I've every been to." My only wish is that we get a chance to experience the property as a guest sometime soon, so we can take in all it has to offer without the responsibility of being the center of attention.

    We had our wedding at RUs in April 2022 and it was truly THE BEST DAY! RUs was the first wedding venue we looked at and after arriving, meeting Lele, and looking at the gorgeous grounds- we knew it was the one. Every single thing part of booking, communicating, and the vendor recommendations were smooth and top notch. We rented the Coop as well to get ready in and it was perfect to be so close and in such a calm and tucked away setting while able to peek at the set up progress! The day of was beautiful and everyone was raving about how amazing and naturally gorgeous the property was! Lele, you have such a gem of a property and a talent for this and for that we are so thankful. We are so happy we found you and RUs and will forever feel lucky we got to spend our wedding day with you!

    Ru's Farm is the most stunning wedding venue owned and managed by the sweetest couple! Lele is joyful, professional, and a great communicator. It's also partnered with Bella Winery so you get to serve some of Sonoma's best wines. All our wedding guests were in awe of the property, from the immense cork tree overlooking endless vineyards to the rose garden and olive tree groves. The environment cultivates intimate and relaxing vibes while modern touches elevate the aesthetic design, all of which shine in photos and videos. We also stayed overnight on the property at the gorgeous cottages, which made the entire weekend experience truly unforgettable. This place and the people laid the foundation for an exceptionally beautiful wedding experience!

    Barn at dawn

    We simply could not have envisioned a more beautiful, comforting place to stay - and to host our wedding! Gathering at the gorgeous cottage eliminated some of the stress of preparing for the day - and getting there on time :) Leighann is pure delight to work with. She is kind and attentive not to mention joyful! And the farm... stunning! Our guests could not stop raving about the venue. The tree where we were wed overlooks vineyards and keeps the guests shaded for the event. The grounds are immaculate - expertly tended with greenery and flowers. There is a separate area for cocktails where guests can relax on couches under shady umbrellas. Then there is the barn - a fabulously rustic space that encourages dancing and other shenanigans. Love the Ru's Farm family and are grateful that they are part of our wonderful history as well.

    Ceremony under the huge tree overlooking vineyard!

    Perfect wedding venue! The grounds are breathtaking... Ceremony under a huge tree overlooking the vineyard. Trees and gardens everywhere. Gorgeous! Plenty of shade. Every inch perfectly maintained. Nice area for outside dining. Restored rustic barn for bar set up and dancing. Enjoyed every minute of my sons wedding and would highly recommend! WIGB??? YES!!!

    Christine L.

    Nice location for a casual / casual/elegant wedding. There is no air conditioning, not enough bathrooms, and it's a barn. Don't wear stilettos because there is a decent amount of walking on uneven surfaces or grass.

    First dance in epic barn!

I hope, in fact, that I get invited to a wedding here someday so I can experience the bespoke service and delicious nibbles that prior reviewers seem to rave about. But the Saturday I visited here, there was no wedding in sight. Just a steep set of gorgeous and relatively well-maintained trails that's clearly a local Healdsburg secret. The trip to the top of Fitch Mtn is no joke, but worth it on a clear spring day. Bring a little picnic -- perhaps even a bota of local vino -- and bask in the remarkable views of the expensive real estate arrayed out below you in the charming if slightly froufrou town of Healdsburg. p.s. While I don't intend to get married anytime soon, I am considering getting a dog. And from the looks of things this is a very pup-friendly open space area too. :)
