The land
The same hills.Four generationsof saying yes.
Long before it held a single ceremony, Glenn Ranch was simply home — worked,
loved and handed down through 4 generations of one Petaluma
family. The barns weathered. The oaks grew tall. The light learned its way
across the fields.
Today that same ground is kept for weddings — a working family ranch
five minutes outside the city of petaluma, opened up so another family can begin here too.
Nothing about it is staged. The history is real, and on your day it quietly
becomes part of yours.
It is a family owned and operated Ranch that has been in our family for over four generations. Glenn Ranch is rich in history — and we hope it may become a piece of your family's history in celebrating the beginning of your marriage.

The spaces
One ranch,every part of the day.
From the morning calm of the getting-ready barns to the last song in the
reception barn, the whole day lives on a single piece of land — no
shuttles, no second locations, no rush.
01
The ceremony grounds
Choose your spot. Several ceremony sites sit scattered across the property — under the oaks, out in the open field, with the hills falling away behind you. Two arches are yours to use.
02
The reception barn
The heart of the night. A true old barn strung with warm lights — long tables, two bars, wine barrels and a dance floor that has held a lot of first dances.
03
Two getting-ready suites
Separate barns for each side of the party to gather, get ready and take their time before the first look.
04
The grounds & golden hour
Rolling hills, a long oak-lined drive, dry-gold grass and the kind of late light photographers chase. Mark will even drive you up for sunset photos.

The practicalpart of forever.
A few answers couples ask for first. Anything else, just ask us.
Our season runs May through early October, when the Sonoma hills are at their golden best. Every booking is a four-day rental — Thursday and Friday to set up, Saturday to celebrate, and Sunday to pack out at your own pace.
The property comfortably seats 175 guests for a ceremony and reception, and holds up to 200 standing.
Far more than the land. Tables, chairs, linens, two bars, wine barrels, two ceremony arches, string lights, lanterns and a deep collection of décor to borrow — plus separate getting-ready suites, free parking, Wi-Fi, and a day-of coordinator who helps it all come together.
Yes. Glenn Ranch is BYOB with no corkage fee, and the open, blank-canvas property welcomes the caterer and vendors you love.
Full weddings — ceremony and reception, with the four-day access and everything included — start at $8,500. Reach out for current-season dates and a tailored quote.
Absolutely. The ranch is pet friendly — plenty of couples walk down the aisle with a four-legged member of the family right beside them.
