The practical details
Capacity
Up to 350
The ranch's web page and its wedding brochure disagree. The web page lists spaces up to 350 for a reception; the brochure sells paired ceremony-and-reception combinations that top out much lower, from 80 up to 200, with only one combination taking 300 or more.
Indoor capacity
250
Redwood Room 220 seated / 250 reception; Clubhouse 180/220; Oak Room 120/150; Vintner Room 80/100
Rain backup
Partial
The brochure pairs lawns with indoor rooms (Vineyard Lawn + Redwood Ballroom up to 200; Valley Lawn + Clubhouse up to 170); a rain guarantee is not stated as policy, so the pairing is an option rather than a promise.
Curfew / end time
Six hours — one hour of ceremony and five hours of reception. No end time is published.
