If you are looking for a wedding venue in Healdsburg- look no further. When we stepped foot onto…read moreRu's Farm we met Lele and walked the grounds and knew this was the venue for us! The entire process was so easy from booking, communications, and vendor recommendations. We rented the Coop as well to get ready and it was such a perfect spot to be on the property but tucked away from the main grounds. Our guests continue to say how magical the wedding weekend was because of our venue! Guests walk through olive trees and into an open cocktail space with an abundance of flowers and fresh lavender. The ceremony site is under a beautiful large oak tree overlooking the Alexander Valley. The backdrop really sold me on why we had to get married at Ru's! Dinner was in front of the barn with twinkly lights. Then the dance party was in the barn where we also had lounge seating, and dessert! We had 140 guests which felt like just the right amount of people and the spaces all flowed nicely for it to feel like we could all be together the entire evening- without it feeling too large. We are still on such a high almost five months later and friends still tell us it was the best wedding of 2022! We cannot thank you LeLe and LJ for the best weekend!

Having our wedding at Ru's Farm was a dream…read more It was love at first sight, we knew immediately after stepping on the grounds that this was our place. It's beautiful and charming in a way that photos barely capture, but that's just the start of it. Lele, the venue owner was a joy to work with. We could tell how much love and care she puts into the space and that working with her would be the opposite of the cookie cutter, corporate experience we've experienced at other popular venues. She provided a thorough tour of the space, a really helpful preferred vendors list, and other wonderful tips and tricks. All the preferred vendors were top tier, and it ended up saving us a ton of time and we were guaranteed a high quality end to end experience. Other key benefits of Ru's: 1. The venue is available the entire wedding day which provides a lot of flexibility 2. There is a beautiful, 3-bedroom cottage on the properties that was perfect for getting ready 3. Unlike vineyards, this property has all the perks of a vineyard (oversees a vineyard) but also allows all types of alcohol (not just beer and wine) 4. The design of the space and the transition between different phases of the day (ceremony, reception, dancing, etc) was seamless This venue is a rare treasure, I would certainly suggest snatching a date before they are all gone.

I would highly recommend it for this type of service or a wedding or any large gathering. We rented the Auditorium as well as the dining room and kitchen. With that we also got a small "Family Room" which was the perfect quiet place. The Auditorium has an excellent sound system and projector. The facility is clean, attractive and comfortable. They set up chairs and tables for you. The commercial kitchen is perfect for a large dinner or potluck. Marilyn, the secretary, was amazing to work with. They don't advertise their site, but it is one of the very best in our area.

The worst nightmare ever. The five-star reviews do not reflect reality. Scroll through to all the…read moreone-star reviews. This place is disgustingly dirty and dilapidated. We booked the Milkroom, and there was no heat. They wanted us to plug in an old heater for heat. The owner, Larry, was super strange. I don't even want to say what he did when he answered the door. It's like a haunted house, cobwebs and all. We left and went to the Flamingo Hotel. Awesome. The advertising that it did not include breakfast was hidden behind a button and not out front. They posted no breakfast next to the listing after I was surprised about no breakfast with the Milkroom. Although even with breakfast and a dancing bear we could NEVER have stayed in this dump.

With a full belly, you venture out to explore Sonoma County from the inn's prime location just south of Santa Rosa.

For a romantic wine country weekend, an ordinary hotel just does not measure up to the experience of staying at the Gables.

Triple S continues to hold our $20,000 and has on multiple times not responded to our emails, or…read moreour lawyer's (yes, we had to involve someone since they are illegally holding our money). There is now a "Nancy" commenting as the manager but we have never heard of this person, nor have any way to contact her. Again, we have sent multiple requests and questions, all with no response; don't let SSS's comments on this review not let you read the full story. It's hilarious they are talking about compassion. WE LITERALLY GOT MARRIED SOMEWHERE ELSE, which we told Derek and Christine already (no response, just like the other times we ask for help). They are now acting like the recent fires should give them more compassion? This whole thing started in March, so that's like Trump grasping at something to deflect from the actual problem. How about the compassion for the $20000 we lost as a couple? SSS is asking for ANOTHER $20000 to reserve the venue for a future date. We have plenty of friends in hospitality, wine and restaurants in Napa, and we will leave our compassion for these good people, thank you very much. And don't take my word for it. Feel free to message me for info and screenshots on other unhappy couples who got screwed over, venues in the area who are shocked by Derek and Christine's behavior, other vendors who are saddened when we show them the language he's used with us. Triple SSS deserves less than one star for holding our $20000 while asking for $20000 more, this during Covid and even after we got married. Read thru my over 1000 reviews and you will see almost all our very positive (4-5 stars). Giving a 1-star to a business is something I only do with the utmost thought, care and respect. I just don't want to see another couple go through what we've had to experience.

How do I give Triple S twenty stars?! I have been to the ranch 7 times and hosted a Corporate Event…read morefor Entrepreneurs Organization there. The event received a 9.8 rating / 10 with REALLY PICKY members! Possibly the most highly rated event ever. We were blown away by the beauty of the natural landscape, the luxury detail of all of the accommodations, the unique and historic meeting locations, the versatility of the gathering locations, the 25 person hot tub, the breathtaking pool and the interesting antiques everywhere. Christine and Derek were amazing to plan with and we were amazed that we had the place to ourself for the whole week without staff onsite! Made us feel so autonomous and trusted. I will come here again and again!

My cousin and now cousin-in-law had their wedding here last Friday evening. I first saw photos of…read morethe estate when they told me they chose their venue. It was jaw-droppingly beautiful! The pictures don't do the estate justice! I loved walking through the entire place. It has a gated entrance so you don't have to worry about intruders. Since it's a large estate, you can walk or drive the golf cart to the tea house or to the animal gates (there are llamas, goats, rams, and turkeys). Brion, the property manager, was really nice and helpful. He gave us a tour of the estate and helped us out during the wedding. Franny, the property dog, is very cute also! She's a very friendly dog. The estate features a bocce ball area, a huge pond, 4 bedrooms, a loft office, a garden, an outdoor deck/patio with grill, 3.5 bathrooms, a guest house, a huge kitchen, huge family/living room with fireplace sitting on 4200 sq. ft. of land. The decor is beautiful and the design of everything is amazing. You don't really have to bring your toiletries or anything like that. There are toiletries, towels, kitchen utensils, blankets, pillows, etc. for people to use. The entertainment system was a little confusing but there are directions for everything. All the light switches are nicely labeled so you know what light you're turning on. I would love to live in this house but can't afford it. Haha...but it's like a dream house! =) It's also a cute little intimate place to have a wedding also (duh the whole reason why I was there).

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!

Her deep knowledge of Healdsburg and our venue made the entire process seamless -- she knew all the right people, asked the right questions, and anticipated details we never would have thought of. Her mastery of logistics and communication is unmatched; she was organized, responsive, and always several steps ahead. What truly sets Meghan apart is her ability to stay calm under pressure while still getting things done. She's a phenomenal problem solver who always brings thoughtful, creative solutions to tricky situations. Plus, she's funny, warm, and just the kind of person you want by your side on your wedding weekend. Thanks to her, our celebration was seamless, stunning, and full of joy. We couldn't imagine doing it without her and can't recommend her highly enough!
