It exudes the spirit of the holidays and the vibe of the city! Their Christmas event with creative trees for donation and fundraising was very festive. It brought in the merriness and warmth of Christmas season. Their eggs and butter event, was fun and surprisingly baby friendly. They served beer and coffee while having a baby playpen section with DJ as well. I peered over to the other corner and they were providing complimentary sandwiches, chips, potato and macaroni salad and snacks too. It was one of its kind for the day and the parade was just right outside. No entry fee as well! Awesome venue and central location to downtown! Love the events that they throw here for the city and public!

Our first meeting with coordinator Julia was a dream! She answered any and all questions we had from our first meeting through to the days before and was so helpful. She provided a list of highly rated local vendors, budget and timeline spreadsheets, and was able to fine tune our grandiose ideas into something tangible and attainable. We were very worried about having a March wedding with the weather being so unpredictable in the springtime, but it was perfect. Sunny skies, 75 degrees, gentle breezes, and a breathtaking sunset to boot. Julia and the team executed everything flawlessly and every guest was in awe about how much of a seamless and personalized experience it was. If you want to experience a venue that can do it all and make your wedding or special event entirely unique, look no further than Flying Cloud Farm!

I came here recently for a wedding and was really impressed by the gorgeous views and cute venue…read more The courtyard area overlooks grapevines and open space. It is quite stunning at sunset. Inside there is a bar & barrel room, which our couple used for the buffet tables and overflow seating, and then as the dance floor after dinner. The reception area/dining room is pretty small and seats about 50 guests. There were 100 guests at the wedding we attended, so some guests were seated in the reception area, and others were seated in the barrel room. It felt a little disjointed especially since those in the barrel room couldn't see the bride and groom. I'd definitely recommend outdoor seating if over 50 guests, but since this wedding was in November, outdoor seating would have been too cold. This is a great venue for an intimate wedding with a rustic feel.

The entire property is breathtaking and there is nothing better than the sight and smell of fresh roses everywhere! Our guests raved (and even a year out they're still dropping us compliments) about how gorgeous the Belvedere lawn area and Secret Garden were, which is where we held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The koi pond is a hidden gem that we loved doing our first look at. Working with Jessica made planning our vision for the day feel so easy. She is so kind, responsive, generous, and professional. She and the team had also worked with many of our other vendors who were local to the area, so we felt at ease knowing everything would go just as planned on such a busy day. Garden Valley Ranch is a stunning place and we cannot recommend it enough. Our wedding day flew by so fast and we wished we had gotten more time to enjoy this beautiful space!

The owner that lives on-site next to the ranch was ready to jump in to help with anything and everything. She was assisting our couple with the timeline to ensure we got couple portraits during sunset. She even drove my assistant, bride, groom, and myself on a golf cart to catch sunset couple portraits overlooking beautiful sprawling hills. I'm so grateful for her help on Kelli and Doug's special day to make everything run smoothly and efficiently. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a rustic ranch venue!

It is a beautiful historic venue that has an elegant feel. The main room was large enough to accommodate our 146 guests and a dance floor. The spacious kitchen allowed us to chill our drinks, keep our food warm and pre-slice the cake. I booked PWC a year in advance and Donna was helpful throughout the process. Beth was kind enough to let us tour the venue several times as we were finalizing the details. Zach met with me towards the end of our celebration and was friendly.

We had a brief tour and learned a lot about how they grow, harvest, and create their wines. Interestingly, their winery just received authentication as an organic winery and their practices are clearly about sustainability. Their wines are quite good to my palate. The Syrah Rotie is full bodied and will age well. The Oro de Plata is a lovely light wine, very drinkable. And my favorite was the La Cruz Chardonnay, with a light touch of oak.

The parking is close and convenient and has a wonderful view from the parking lot as well as the main building's deck. We were recently here for a high school reunion. The catering company did a great job working in the kitchen and weren't "in the way" of the celebrating students - barely saw them except when they were serving and cleaning up. the bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. I like the automatic hand soap pump in the women's :) The view was beautiful. Great backdrop for pictures. Can't wait to see the ones that were taken!

This golf course is amongst the top three public courses in the area. It boasts a challenging…read morelayout, but not too challenging for the average golfer. It's well kept and reasonably priced. Plus it's mostly flat and thus very walkable. And it's quite scenic, located in a natural setting with water foul, and so many mature plants and trees. None of the holes are next to public roadways. So it's mostly quiet and serene. And I say mostly, because there is an airport next to the course so that does create some loud, intermittent, overhead noise particularly on holes 5-10. The staff does a great job in getting people out and are very friendly.
