Mountain House Estate

Your guests will most likely choose an Airbnb, VRBO or motel for their weekend stay not only here, but at any wedding venues in California. The areas they might choose from would be as far North as Ukiah, West as far as Mendocino, East as far as Cloverdale, and South as far as Santa Rosa. Our wedding venue is in a rural area in wine country with the closest town being Cloverdale, about 15 minutes away. Healdsburg is only 30 minutes away, and Windsor is about 45 minutes away.

Unlike many other wedding venues in California, we actually have both indoor and outdoor options (and a plan in case of rain!). In case of rain, the indoor space can comfortably seat up to 124 at tables. With larger groups, you have the option to rent a tent. In the case of heat, the indoor space is air-conditioned and we provide some market umbrellas to create shade on the patio or lawn. As with rain, tents can also provide shade options in various areas for your celebration.

Yes, and we’re one of the few California wedding venues that does allow food trucks. We have a concrete pad area, easily accessible to guests, where multiple food trucks can park. In addition, we have a second area that we call the ‘show off kitchen’, which can accommodate additional trailers, BBQ’s, paella preparation, wood fired pizza ovens, fresh-made donuts, or photo booths just to name a few options.

BYOB and NO corkage fees, which can save you hundreds or thousands. Believe it or not, many wedding venues in California and wineries hide corkage fees until after you've signed the contract. You can bring your own beer, wine and liquor. Properly licensed and insured bartending staff is required for all bartending services.

We reserve our wedding venue just for you and your guests on your special day. Many other wedding venues in California such as hotels, wineries and banquet halls will likely have other guests coming in and out all day during your special day.

Absolutely! At Mountain House Estate, every wedding is customized based on your desires and budget. For those couples with less available time, we work closely with several professional planners, who can design your wedding for you from top to bottom and create your all-inclusive event at our California wedding venue.

Our wedding venue can hold a maximum of 250 people. And actually, we can host from 2-250 guests depending on whether you want an intimate elopement or a grand wedding with all of your friends and loved ones. We're one of the few wedding venues in California that can accommodate almost any size of guest list.

Mountain House Estate was conceived, designed and constructed to be a one-of-a-kind California wedding venue. Prior to obtaining a building permit, a Major Use Permit UR 2014-0006, expiring in 2034, was obtained from the County of Mendocino in California. In addition, Mountain House Estate is licensed and insured (something that not all wedding venues in California can say!). The permit states that the property may be used as a conference center with weddings, winery, tasting room, and offer overnight accommodations. The reason this matters: If Califronia wedding venues don't have these permits...it’s not operating legally and any wedding or event it hosts is at risk, which may result in the venue being closed. These closures by governmental agencies happen without warning, resulting in the immediate cancellation of events with no regard to paid deposits or impending event dates. This has happened to several other California weddingvenues located near us.

Mountain House Estate is located seven miles west of Cloverdale on Hwy 128, heading towards the coast. We advise that you use “Mountain House Estate” for your GPS search rather than a street address. Some mapping programs are incorrect and we want you and your guests to arrive at our wedding venue without difficulty. Because we're one of a few wedding venues in California that is considered remote, you can always check with John & Lane for more information about directions and getting here.

Mountain House Estate is the perfect wedding venue to accommodate those who smoke or vape. We have an area called The Smokin’ Olive Lounge. This area includes wine barrels with table tops and umbrellas, bistro lighting, and an 8’ long ‘cigar bar’ where you can have custom hand-rolled cigars prepared for your guests. Smoking and vaping are allowed in this area only. Not many wedding venues in California can accommodate smokers in a nearby common area that isn't an enclosed and smoky space, but we want to be as hospitable as possible to all of your guests.

I personally don't know for sure. But I would think so. Great place..enjoy
