What couples highlight
“The ceremony setup was stunning, and we chose to host our dinner and reception in the Barrel Room – it was breathtaking.”
“A huge shoutout to Cheryl, our wedding day coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic.”
“We also had the rehearsal dinner on their beautiful deck on Friday night (catered tacos - reasonably priced - fun and casual).”
“On the day of the wedding, the SRF team (owners, florist, caterer) worked very hard to set everything up and make it look amazing and just as we dreamed of.”
From the reviews
My husband and I recently got married at the Sand Rock Farm, and our entire wedding party stayed there the weekend of our wedding. Kris did an outstanding job helping us to plan our wedding. She was very prompt and organized and had a lot of connections to local vendors.
We got married here this last weekend and it was the best decision we could have possibly made. Jen and Derek were kind and accommodating. The food throughout the weekend was incredible, including our wedding cake (included!) which was beautiful and loved by all guests.
Incredible Wedding Venue with Exceptional Staff – Highly Recommend Sand Rock Farm! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience at Sand Rock Farm. Renting the property for two nights made the entire celebration feel like a relaxing getaway. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free.
We had our wedding at Sand Rock Farm in March and it was the perfect wedding venue! The flexibility is amazing, to have a beautiful redwood Grove, historic wine cellar and historic barn all available plus the gorgeous house. It's such a unique venue with so much personality built in.
Getting married at Sand Rock Farm
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
