Slide Ranch | Muir Beach, California USA

This couple traveled from Washington State back to California to host their wedding on the Northern California coast. Ali grew up going to camp at Slide Ranch in Marin County, a place that always felt like home, so the venue was settled long before planning began. Perched above the Pacific near Muir Beach, this bucolic coastal setting became the backdrop for an intimate outdoor wedding, rooted in the land that shaped her childhood.

Natural outdoor adventurers, the couple wanted their guests to feel the same ease they find in open air. Under a soft summer sky, with ocean light and eucalyptus on the breeze, everyone settled in as if they had always belonged there. The sound of waves crashed along the rugged coast during their sacred ceremony and guests didn’t walk far to enjoy tray passed cocktails and farm fresh bites.

Planning a destination wedding in California from out of state calls for a Wedding Planner who knows the coastline, the venues and the Vendors by heart. As a luxury wedding planner in Marin County, our team handled every detail on the ground, so this couple could arrive and simply be present.

And for two people who insisted their music taste was not diverse, the alternative, Americana and country playlist kept the yurt dance floor full of joyous laughter and dancing all night.
