Truly the most beautiful venue

There was no component of our wedding weekend more complimented than the venue itself. People could not stop remarking about the beauty of Switzer Farm and how lucky they felt to have had the opportunity to visit. Many have said they'd like to get married there next! Gary and Dolores were a joy to work with and we appreciated the extra effort they both took to familiarize us and our vendors with the property.

We felt extra, extra grateful to have had the opportunity to stay onsite for our wedding and enjoyed the beautiful accommodations, kitchen, and access to our wedding! The extra special opportunity to spend more time with our families at Switzer will be cherished forever.

Best Weekend Ever

I’m at a loss for words when it comes to describing what a magical place Switzer Farm is. From the moment I saw pictures, I knew I had to visit, and when I did, I knew from the first few moments that this was where I wanted to spend my wedding weekend (heck I’d spend the rest of my life here if I was allowed!). Gary and his team at Switzer Farm are incredibly professional but also kind and work extremely hard to make sure that you have everything you need to make your stay the best ever. The house itself is meticulously restored, but at the same time, it feels cozy and lived in, not like a museum. It’s the way that the house and the outdoor space work together to create the most peaceful but vibrant energy. The Mendocino coast and the town of Westport California are incredibly picturesque, but somehow Gary and his team have created a landscape at Switzer that is truly breathtaking and inviting. Every single guest couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was, and all of us didn’t want to leave. We hope we can visit again, but we will never forget our incredibly magical weekend at Switzer Farm, and can’t recommend it enough to those looking for a beautiful space to stay and celebrate at.

Where the Forest Meets the Ocean, My heart will always be full

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review of Switzer Farm, but somehow i didn't realize I did not send it before, probably because I am still in a Newlywed high from October.

Gary, Dolores, Switzer Farm, and the surrounding area are an absolute dream. Working with Gary was seamless, communicative, and very well organized. He was consistently there to help us along the way and answered all of our questions in a hurry. Additionally, he was able to work with us to accommodate all of our needs, special and ordinary.

I cannot say how beautiful Switzer Farm is and have it mean anything to you without seeing it yourself, but the place is pure magic. Gary has spent so much time ensuring every detail is taken care of and this place should be high on your list for your special occasion.

I can't wait to go back.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
