Sea Ranch wedding in Sonoma

The Venue

The Sea Ranch Lodge is such an idyllic setting for a romantic Sea Ranch wedding celebration on the Northern California coast. Visiting this stunning resort property was such a wonderful retreat to enjoy peaceful, natural serenity.

The lodge is nestled along California’s rugged coastline and offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views and lush landscapes. It’s a picturesque backdrop for a wedding ceremony and reception. The intimate, relaxed atmosphere invites couples to exchange vows surrounded by the soothing sounds of the sea, making it a tranquil and unforgettable place to bring friends and family together to celebrate.

Pair an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific with a cozy, charming indoor reception — The Sea Ranch Lodge provides both with an enchanting setting that makes every moment feel special. The truly unmatched beauty makes it the perfect venue for couples seeking a romantic, nature-infused escape for their wedding day.

Bride + groom

We had an amazing time with Kacie and Eric celebrating their love with a cliffside ceremony warmed by the July sunshine. After an intimate dinner indoors, we took to the fields for the most epic, dramatic sunset portraits. Their joy was palpable, and they were so in the moment together — it was beautiful to witness!

The Fashion

Kacie donned three different gowns by The Law Bridal and accessories from jewelry designer Katie Waltman. The talented Raven Reed also gave the beautiful bride a variety of makeup and hair looks to go with each gown, including two fun pony updos (LOVE!).

The Details

Event design by Emmily of The Gatherist and flowers by Britlyn Simone embraced the unique blend of modern minimalism and old-world charm intrinsic to the Sea Ranch Lodge itself. Kacie’s bouquet, ceremony arrangements, and table florals were free-flowing, minimalist designs with unexpected blooms — it was the perfect fusion of wild nature and contemporary chic. Black chairs anchored the ceremony space, while sage green candles, velvet gold linens, and warm neutral place settings complemented the reception table’s natural surroundings.

Each detail of the wedding design was well-curated to reflect The Sea Ranch Lodge’s seamless blend of sophistication and rustic warmth. The atmosphere was one of both tranquility and elegance and allowed the beauty of nature to serve as the perfect complement to the understated yet stylish design.

Every part of Sea Ranch reflects a deep respect for the surrounding land and sea, ensuring that full wedding weekend experience feels timeless and connected to the natural world.
