Reviews of Switzer Farm
Stunning Wedding Venue with Exceptional Service
The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. We held our ceremony on the headlands, surrounded by stunning ocean views, followed by a delightful cocktail hour on the veranda and in the back garden. For the reception, we utilized the expansive lawn, which provided the perfect setting for our celebration. The variety of areas allowed us to change the ambiance throughout the day, creating a truly magical experience.
A special mention to Gary, the owner, who was fantastic to work with. His clear communication made the booking and planning process seamless. Dolores, the property manager, did an amazing job preparing the house for us and checking in as needed, ensuring everything went smoothly.
We also want to thank Phoebe and Jason, who helped with security, parking, and assisting during our welcome party and the wedding. Their kindness and professionalism contributed significantly to our overall experience.
This venue including the home is a gem, and the entire team made our wedding day & weekend unforgettable. We will cherish the memories made here forever. If you’re looking for a special place for your big day, look no further!

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
Where the Forest Meets the Ocean, My heart will always be full
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.
Absolutely stunning location
Best experience of our lives!
Inimitable Wedding Venue in Northern California
It left a deep and memorable impression on us and all of our guests. Gary's attention to detail and love for the home shows in its every nook and cranny. The setting and views are incomparable to anywhere else we’ve stayed in California. Since our first viewing in early 2018, the exterior landscaping had grown into a wonderful oasis of color and life. The grounds are well kept yet still feel wild. And the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean can be felt and seen from anywhere on the property.
Gary was so helpful throughout our planning with quick responses to our endless questions. There’s nothing about our experience we would want to change or improve upon.
We completely lucked out on finding Switzer Farm.
