My husband and I had our wedding at Flying Cloud this past weekend and it was the easiest and best decision we've made. The entire property is beautiful and was the perfect space f...
or our 95 person wedding.
We were lucky enough to have Julia be our wedding planner/ day of coordinator and couldn't be more grateful to have her in our corner. I TRULY don't know what I would've done without all of her help. Not only is she so approachable and communicative, but she's patient, intentional, and super accommodating. She is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the vendors, timeline, and event planning general. Julia truly brought our vision to life and executed the day so seamlessly.
The guests were in shock of how amazing the scenery is from Flying Cloud and from the venue itself. We can’t recommend this venue and Julia as your planner enough. Thank you so much for everything Julia!!
Flying Cloud Farm was everything we hoped for and more. The space was beautiful, welcoming. Every detail felt taken care of and it created the perfect backdrop for our day. We had ...
so many guests tell us how gorgeous and comfortable the venue felt. It truly made our wedding feel magical.
Julia was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire planning process. From day one she was organized, patient, and always on top of every detail. She was so calm and answered every question. She made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. On the wedding day, she handled everything behind the scenes so we could just enjoy the moment. We’re so thankful for her. she made the whole experience feel effortless.
We were recently married and Flying Cloud and the experience was so amazing. Guests raved about how lovely the venue was. I am also a DIY bride and with the help of Jeannette’s exp...
ertise pulled off all of my plans for my dream wedding. She is helpful, kind, and has such amazing tips for the day to be a success. I can’t recommend them more highly!!
Also great so support a family business, you can feel the love in everything they do.
We held our wedding at Flying Cloud Farm, and it was truly the perfect setting for our day. The ceremony took place in the garden, which felt incredibly private and peaceful – lush...
, green, and absolutely beautiful, even in the middle of July in Northern California. It was like stepping into a hidden oasis.
Our cocktail hour was held indoors, in a space that felt like a cozy Tuscan wine cellar – warm, inviting, and full of character. It was such a unique contrast to the garden ceremony and gave our guests a memorable experience from start to finish.
The newly renovated bridal suite was also a dream! It was the perfect space for getting ready with my bridesmaids – comfortable, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to make those pre-ceremony moments feel extra special.
A huge shoutout to Julia, the venue coordinator, who was amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable and patient throughout the planning process. She handled all the logistics with our linens and dinnerware order, and her team made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to them, the entire day went off without any major hitches.
If you're looking for a venue that’s both stunning and supported by a top-notch team, Flying Cloud Farm is it.
Flying Cloud Farm was the absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something special — and our guests agreed! We received so many comp...
liments about how stunning the setting was, with more than one person saying it felt like they were transported to Italy. It created the perfect atmosphere for a romantic, unforgettable day.
A huge shoutout to Jeannette, who was truly amazing throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly communicative, organized, and supportive — we always felt like we were in great hands. Her attention to detail and calm presence made everything run smoothly.
We can’t imagine having gotten married anywhere else. Flying Cloud Farm is a magical place, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple looking for a breathtaking venue and a wonderful team to match.

lia and her family were there to help guide things made us all feel at ease.
We have nothing but great things to say about Flying Cloud Farm. My wife and I loved the venue and our guests continue to say great things about it as well! We definitely would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue with a stunning view of Sonoma County. Our wedding photos were taken at the venue with the rolling hills in the background and we could not be happier.
We look forward to returning to Flying Cloud Farm to celebrate an anniversary or reminisce on that amazing day!

nt. She is a joy to work with and we are grateful for the time she spent with us creating such an incredible day.
We hope to have another opportunity to use this beautiful property again.
I am still in la-la-land over how perfect our wedding day was and can’t thank Flying Cloud or Julia enough. Our wedding date was off season therefore rain was a possible challenge....
And yes it rained on the big day but that didn’t get us down. Julia and all of our vendors worked together and somehow the timing was absolute perfection that we were able to have our ceremony outside on the patio just as we had hoped with all other activities inside the rest of the evening. Julia put forward so much effort to make my outdoor ceremony dream a reality that she even moved all chairs inside due to a light sprinkle about an hour before our start time only to move everything back in position as the sun came out again so I could walk down the isle outside. The attention to detail Julia possesses is top notch. She is organized, thorough, had a solution for all of my challenges, and brought my Pinterest vision board to life. The options for ceremony and reception possibilities at this venue are endless and the grounds are beautiful.
Flying Cloud Farm exceeded all our expectations as a wedding venue! We hosted our intimate wedding here, and we got so many compliments on the space from our guests. The entire day...
was absolutely beautiful, and everything flowed seamlessly thanks to the efforts of the venue coordinator, Julia. Her knowledge of the venue, excellent communication skills, and meticulous planning ensured that our wedding was flawlessly executed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Jeanette and her team have been at this for a while, and it shows in how organized and smooth all of the operations were. Everything was perfect for our wedding, and it was a steal...
as far as value in Sonoma County. The surrounding vineyards made a beautiful backdrop during our outdoor ceremony! Highly recommend!

k to respond to any questions we had and always had solutions to any bumps we came up against. We got married in March and loved that if the weather did not cooperate that there were inside and outside spaces available.
The bridal suite was comfortable and the perfect spot for me and my bridesmaids to get ready. My husband and his groomsmen enjoyed having their own space onsite as well.
Our guests raved about how beautiful the space is and the friendliness of everyone involved.
Jeanette made the entire planning process easy and fun. We could not have imagined a more beautiful, easy and relaxed wedding!
Very unique venue with great views and opportunities for indoors/outdoors ceremony and reception. Owner is coordinator day of which is helpful and handles the rentals. Overall we h...
ad a wonderful experience! The small things I would have changed-- the lawn was pretty saturated for the rehearsal and ceremony-- my dress got grass stains. Communication with some of the vendors could have been smoother day of-- schedule confusion with caterer/DJ, no one to cut cake, etc. Many our our guests loved the site.

ease...she made our celebration stress free! We got endless compliments from our guests about how breathtaking the setting was. It was truly a perfect day.
Wow, wow, wow - what can I say! What a gem. Jeannette, who owns and runs the event space, is next level organized. She has thought of everything and was such a joy to work with. By...
the time the big day came, we had nothing to worry about. Jeannette had helped us iron out everything and most of our guests told us it was the most beautiful venue they'd ever been to. You can rent everything from their highly recommended vendors (who were AMAZING) and also bring in your own personal touches. Also, we had a horse come out during the party for people to pet and feed (we love horses) and it was a huge hit! Honestly, we didn't know what we were doing when we booked a venue but we went with our gut on location, space, and owner and could not have been more pleased. Can't say enough about how great our experience was!
We had been on the search for a venue in the Sonoma County area that would allow us to have the small but still beautiful wedding our our dreams. It was hard to really find a place...
that didn’t exacerbate charges just for us to simply use the premisses. During our search, we came across Flying Cloud as a viable option, and remembered we had been at a friend’s wedding over there. We had a great time... so why not?
On the day of our appointment, we fell in love with the location all over again. Secluded farm setting, breathtaking views, vineyards, outdoor grass and patio area and a gorgeous and well infrastructured indoor facility with more than enough room are some of many aspects that made this our PERFECT venue. Every single guest complemented us so much on the choice!
And what REALLY made the decision a no-brainer was the owner Jeanette, who, since meeting us, was a delight to work with and an excellent day-of coordinator. She is a wonderful professional who is experienced, structured and really cares about making sure your day goes the way you are envisioning. She also makes sure YOU get to enjoy it! Thank you, Jeanette!
5 out 5 stars!
So happy we chose Flying Cloud for our wedding! It's a beautiful venue with so much indoor/outdoor space that was perfect for our 100 guests. Jeanette is so down-to-earth and made ...

The venue is large and has great space inside and out, and a wonderful view of the vineyards. It was a great wedding.

This was the most beautiful and prefect wedding venue
We could not have chosen a better place to get married! The grounds at Flying Cloud are gorgeous. It is just off the freeway but we felt as if we were far away from any city. Every...
one raved about the location. It is set up just for wedding so it is easy to have both your ceremony and reception on the grounds. Jeannette Bell and her husband own and operate the facility. Jeannette is a fantastic wedding coordinator. She made sure everything went smoothly for the event! We highly reccomend Flying Cloud!
This venue was perfect for our needs. The owner of the property acts as your wedding coordinator for the site, which was truly a blessing if you don't have a wedding planning. We h...
ad our wedding on a Saturday, which meant we got to have the venue for three days. Friday we were able to bring everything out to the site; our decor, any extra food, our flowers, and anything for the bridal sweet and grooms sweet. The place is very secure at night which left me feeling comfortable leaving valuables out there. Saturday morning was great, having our stuff already there lead to me never feeling rushed. And Sunday, we were able to take our time come back and pick up anything we left over night (decor, flowers, dresses- the ranch staff cleans the place for you). When you walk into flying cloud it looks like your in Tuscany Italy. I really loved it, and so did my 100+ guests. Your able to throw a very intimate event, yet at the same time have a great party. There is a huge kitchen for caterers to set up in and a perfect bar as well. I really loved this site, I recommend it to everyone, and I can't wait to go to another event out there!
The website for FCF doesn't do it justice - it is absolutely breath taking. The outside is one of the most visually appealing venues I have seen. And the inside is elegant and roma...
ntic. The staff is very friendly but be sure to read the fine print. The tour we were given - and sold on - gave everyone there the impression we had the entire venue for the whole weekend - not true. The contract states for any Sunday wedding a rehearsal has to be held on the previous Thursday - they did not uphold this for the Sunday wedding and we had to move our rehearsal on Friday afternoon to later that day. Not the worst thing in the world but worth noting. We had planned an outdoor ceremony and reception but we were rained out. The staff waited for much too long to move the chairs and tables indoors and then asked if we had any guests or anyone in the wedding party to help dry things off. Again - not the worst thing, but not terribly professional. There was rain all day, a plan should have been put in place and the tables and chairs should not have sat in the rain. There were a few wet chairs still when the guests went to sit for the ceremony. However, due to the rain, the staff did offer us to come back to the venue to take more pictures. That was a kind gesture. And even though we had a few mishaps getting everything inside, we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding.
This venue offers sweeping views of Petaluma. It is unique and elegant. There is enough space to comfortably have 200 guests outside and closer to 150 inside. The size of the venue offers an intimate setting. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for something unique, stunning, and elegant.
Flying Cloud is beautiful! It is reasonably priced, the event manager is very organized and will put you at ease, and your pictures will be amazing.
Flying Cloud provided the natural ambiance we were looking for in a reception facility, and our guests loved the setting. The wedding coordinator services that came with the facil...
ity, however, were sub-par, as the WC was frequently late, didn't return emails, didn't really keep the reception running on time, and forgot to put the favors on the table. The beautiful environment in which the facility is located, however, made it all worth it.
This venue exceeded our expectations! The grounds and indoors were clean, well maintained and needed very few additional decorations. Jeannette was amazing to work with. She kept...
everything organized and running smoothly, and was very professional and upfront about the cost (great since we had a budget to keep). We had the most wonderful and beautiful outdoor wedding.
This is a great venue! We had our ceremony outside in the afternoon and then our reception indoors afterward. Everyone had a wonderful time. This place is beautiful and has somethi...
ng for everyone. Janette is wonderful and so helpful, she makes sure that everything is taken care of! Winery feel without the winery prices! Venue is very private which is also nice! Would recommend to everyone!
The gardens were stunning. The reception hall was gorgeous and the site manager was amazing. I did not worry about a thing all day.
