CREEKSIDE PATIO – RECEPTIONS OR PARTIES
$1,000 usage fee – seats 150.
A lovely outdoor setting on the tree-lined Sonoma Creek. Perennial flower beds,
a bubbling stone fountain and outdoor bar make this an ideal location for your
wedding reception or party. May through October are ideal months for an outdoor
event.
CREEKSIDE PATIO WEDDINGS
$100 Additional Set up Fee.
In
addition to having your wedding reception on the Creekside Patio, it is also
available for informal wedding ceremonies for up to 60. The Patio is set up for
the reception and your guests can sit at the tables or stand in the open areas.
The bride and groom can pick a picturesque spot for the ceremony – we suggest
along the railing near the creek or on the deck.
CREEKSIDE LAWN WEDDINGS
$300 plus chair rental –
seats 150. For more formal weddings, the Creekside lawn can be set
up with rows of chairs and a center aisle. The lawn adjoins the patio reception
area and after the wedding your guests enter the reception area through a
beautiful rose-covered arbor.
To have a wedding on the
lawn you it is best if you book the entire lodge.

dinners with a minimum of 40 people. The usage fee varies from $200 to $500

1905 building the saloon adjoins the event areas. It has high ceilings with
Tiffany lamps, hardwood floors, a large antique oak bar, a pool table and brick

during the event or have post party get togethers in the saloon which stays open
until 2am every night.
