A weekend in Sonoma County · August 27–30, 2026 · Green Valley Farm and Mill, Sebastopol
Welcome! This is the home for everything you need to know about the weekend. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
The vibe
This is a small, family-only wedding — intimate by design. Around 40 of our closest people, gathered for a long weekend on a working farm in west Sonoma. We’re going for warm, grounded, and unfussy: California native flowers from a Sebastopol farm, a Levantine feast for dinner, Celtic and Irish trad music in the evening, and plenty of unstructured time to hang out.
The farm sits in Sebastopol, about 1.5 hours north of San Francisco. Less ceremony, more time together.
