Imagine being married under the redwood tree the Stows received in 1873 for their first anniversary or on the steps of the Carpenter Gothic mansion that sits beside it. Imagine strolling over to Lake Los Carneros to for a private moment or tossing your bouquet beneath the grandest bird of paradise your guests have ever seen. Imagine your wedding at the lovely gardens of Rancho La Patera. The gardens are perfect for events from intimate weddings to large receptions. You design your celebration and we provide the most beautiful and serene place to make your own history…The possibilities are endless. This charming, historic venue is available for daytime (until sunset) events. We do not allow events past sunset.
