Flying Cloud Reviews

Jeanette and her team have been at this for a while, and it shows in how organized and smooth all of the operations were. Everything was perfect for our wedding, and it was a steal as far as value in Sonoma County. The surrounding vineyards made a beautiful backdrop during our outdoor ceremony! Highly recommend!

Really worth the value!!! It was great having the venue for all of Friday and Saturday, took off a lot of stress

I would highly recommend Flying Cloud. It is a beautiful venue for weddings. Everything is taken care of with the utmost professionalism, and the attention to detail from Jeanette Bell is amazing.

We had a small rehearsal dinner, Jeanette was very easy to work with and responsive to our needs. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We sat out in the courtyard and could watch the sun set as we ate. I would highly recommend Flying Cloud and would use them again without question.

Jeannette with Flying Cloud Farm was amazing! We booked the site the day we visited, because not only is the site beautiful and private, Jeannette was so organized and efficient we knew it would be perfect for our wedding. We were not disappointed, the day of and the rehearsal were not stressful for us at all because Jeannette took care of any and every issue that arose. The site looked beautiful the day of our wedding, it was groomed and all of our decorations for the tables and venue were setup just how we wanted. We were extremely happy with the wedding venue and with the day of coordination by Jeannette.

The Flying Cloud Farm is absolutely beautiful! I could not have imagined a more perfect place. The surrounding vineyards and hills and lush garden made the perfect backdrop for my wedding. It is very intimate and secluded...no onlookers or wine tasters to deal with like at a winery. Jeannette, the owner, was also a very professional wedding coordinator. Her comprehensive knowledge of the industry and attention to detail made my wedding day carefree and so memorable. I would recommend this site to any bride, whether on a fixed budget or not!

Our wedding was held at the beautiful outdoor venue Flying Cloud, surrounded by picturesque hills, wildflowers, and greenery. Jeannette ensured every detail went according to plan, making our day beautiful and unforgettable. - Forever grateful, Jean & Paul

Jeannette is amazing at what she does! She is very professional and responsive to your needs and also cares as much as you do that things go smoothly. She is a wedding planner without having to pay for an official one! I was so happy that my husband I went with Flying Cloud. You won't regret it. Also the location is beautiful.

Flying Cloud Farm exceeded all our expectations as a wedding venue! We hosted our intimate wedding here, and we got so many compliments on the space from our guests. The entire day was absolutely beautiful, and everything flowed seamlessly thanks to the efforts of the venue coordinator, Julia. Her knowledge of the venue, excellent communication skills, and meticulous planning ensured that our wedding was flawlessly executed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We could have not picked a better place for our wedding. Julia went above and beyond helping us find vendors and making sure everything went smoothly! Thank you so much for working so hard and making our day go so easy and be so special!

I could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding this past October. I had always wanted to get married at a winery but was also interested in the rustic barn wedding that is popular now. Flying Cloud provides the setting for both in the picturesque countryside of Sonoma County.

Jeanette was amazing to work with, she has all the details down to a tee. She also kept us very involved throughout the whole process. We meet with her around a month before the wedding to discuss timeline, linens, vendors, etc. We were also able to do our rehearsal the afternoon before our wedding, which was a pleasant surprise as the wedding was on Sunday. Since we were planning the wedding ourselves (without a wedding planner) it was great to have Jeannette do the run through with us at the rehearsal, it really prepared us for the big day! I was a bit apprehensive about everything running smoothly on the big day because since we wouldn't have any time to put out any fires but Jeanette did an amazing job as the day-of-coordinator by communicating with all the vendors and keeping the wedding on a timeline. There was nothing for us to worry about it and it all went off without a hitch!

I would highly recommend the Flying Cloud for any event and am so happy we choose it for our wedding!

Amazing Venue!! Gorgeous!! The venue layout worked perfectly and I had no complaints. I love that there are many options for the guests to sit inside or out, be in the shade or sun, etc. Jeanette was wonderful. She was on top of everything and really made sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Flying Cloud Farms to anyone looking for a wedding or event venue!

We had an amazing wedding at this beautiful venue.

Fabulous venue! Jeannette was amazing- on top of her game. Our guests are still talking about our wedding and how much fun they had!

Flying Cloud was everything we could have asked for in a venue and more! Jeanette and her daughter are so knowledgeable, organized and easy to work with. Jeanette was always quick to respond to any questions we had and always had solutions to any bumps we came up against. We got married in March and loved that if the weather did not cooperate that there were inside and outside spaces available.
The bridal suite was comfortable and the perfect spot for me and my bridesmaids to get ready. My husband and his groomsmen enjoyed having their own space onsite as well.
Our guests raved about how beautiful the space is and the friendliness of everyone involved.
Jeanette made the entire planning process easy and fun. We could not have imagined a more beautiful, easy and relaxed wedding!

Flying Cloud Farm was the PERFECT place for our wedding ceremony and reception! We held our wedding outdoors, and the beautifully manicured lawns and courtyard created just the setting we were looking for. The indoor space, which we used for the bar and dancing, is lovely and creates a sort of "winery" feel. We have to say, one of the best parts of holding our wedding at Flying Cloud was working with the wonderful Jeannette Bell, the owner! She is a true professional. Throughout the planning process, Jeannette was easily available to answer questions or provide suggestions. Prior to the wedding, Jeannette met with us to make sure all of the details were in order and made sure that all of our vendors had the information. She also guided us through a very smooth wedding rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, Jeannette served as the wedding day coordinator, making sure that all deliveries were received, the set up was done according to plan, and the timeline was followed. Jeannette truly took the weight off of our shoulders! My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the wedding, knowing we were in good hands! Our guests enjoyed the wedding, and were absolutely raving about the beautiful wedding site! We could not imagine a more perfect wedding day, and we are grateful to Jeannette and Flying Cloud for making it happen :)

Wedding planning can certainly be overwhelming, but choosing Flying Cloud as our venue was the easiest choice we made. Jeanette is beyond amazing and was a huge part of why we chose it for our special day. As a bride who lives on the other side of the country, I never once felt anxious or concerned that she wouldn't meet my expectations! I truly felt so at ease when talking and meeting with her; professional, organized, and accommodating are just a few of the ways to describe her. Flying Cloud allowed me to include all the personal touches I wanted and I was beyond happy with how everything looked on my wedding day. Any bride would be lucky to use Flying Cloud to celebrate their wedding day, you won't regret it.

I remember how much I relied on reviews when we were choosing a wedding venue. I'm here to tell you that this venue is absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of Flying Cloud Farm for our wedding. Jeanette was so great to work with and she really handles all the details, yet gives you the flexibility of adding all your own special touches. Our day went so smoothly and our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful and unique the venue was. I highly recommend it!!!

The site was absolutely beautiful and Jeannette was a pleasure to work with. When the owner is involved there is an "extra touch" upon every detail. It was nice to have her in charge because we knew every aspect was covered, and there was an answer to any potential "situations". The feeling of peace around such an event is priceless.

The Flying Cloud comes highly recommended!

Highly recommend this venue for a wedding!! Extremely affordable and Jeannette was a dream to work with! The facility is so beautiful that hardly any extra decoration is needed which helps for brides on a budget! We especially appreciated that Jeannette was so accommodating and inviting to the vendors we selected who were not on her list of recommended vendors. However, the vendors we selected off of the lists she provided were really easy to work with so I'm confident that all of the vendors on that list would have been great as well. She really made everything easy and took care of everything day-of. Thank you Jeannette and the rest of the Flying Cloud Farm staff for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

We hosted our wedding at Flying Cloud Farm in July 2025 and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — it has such an intimate feel while being conveniently close to Petaluma, which is a wonderful town to host your guests.

Julia, the month-of planner who comes with the venue, was phenomenal. Honestly, we don’t know what we would’ve done without her. While her official role is ‘month-of,’ Julia was supportive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She guided us in choosing vendors — all of whom we selected based on her recommendations — and every single one was flawless. She was friendly, patient, and incredibly professional.

Leading up to the wedding, Julia was super organized and provided us with so much information, tips, and things to think about that hadn’t even crossed our minds. On the day of, everything ran seamlessly. We didn’t have to worry or stress about a single thing — we didn’t even lift a finger when it came to setup or organizing on the day itself. As the day evolved, Julia adapted and improvised to make sure each moment was used perfectly.

The staff at Flying Cloud were also fantastic — friendly, efficient, and just great to work with. We had absolutely zero issues. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable for the value you get. One huge bonus: Flying Cloud lets you bring your own alcohol, rather than requiring you to hire an open bar caterer, which saved us a ton of money.

We can’t say enough nice things about Flying Cloud and Julia. Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Jeannette was a pleasure to deal with. She was very professional and helpful. The venue was beautiful and very well maintained. We recommend this venue and Jeannette to everyone.

We absolutely loved havig our wedding at Flying Cloud! Jeanette and her husband have an amazing property and were great people to work with. They were flexible in letting us do whatever we wanted with decorations and the amour we people we had. There are amazing views all around the property that looks over Petaluma and you can also walk around and see the horses!! We only wish there was more time up there for our wedding, possibly a later closing time but we did understand there is a noise ordinance so it could not have been done. Overall we are ao happy we didn't go with a different venue because the Flying Cloud was perfect for our wedding!

We recommend Flying Cloud to anyone who is looking for the perfect Sonoma County event space. The first contact we had with Ms. Bell she forgot we had a meeting but was at the site within minutes. She showed us around and we were sold. We still get compliments on our wedding venue when we talk to friends and family who attended. Every detail was covered and she even took care of the rentals. Flying Cloud is perfect.

Jeannette and the venue Flying Cloud Farm were the perfect combination for a beautiful, stress free wedding experience. Our oldest daughter got married here, and the wedding and reception went off seamlessly. Jeannette orchestrated (with our input) the entire event as a calm, quiet, yet strong presence. She was able to advise us from start to finish- communication was A+ always, we never felt uncertain along the way. The wedding turned out beautiful, and since our daughter's wedding, 3 people that either attended the wedding, or saw pictures on facebook, have since booked weddings here. As far as we are concerned, after visiting many venues in Sonoma County, Flying Cloud Farm won hands down without a question- whether you like the wine country atmosphere, the country atmosphere, the Tuscan/Italian atmosphere, or the equestrian- this venue can include it all. Also having options for what we called our plan B, in case of rain, she gave us options for having the event indoors. It is a "no-brainer" in deciding whether to use this venue. A+ from start to finish including Jeannette and her knowledge and the beauty and flexibility of the venue.

Loved this place! Make sure you have some one to decorate the day of the on-site coordinater doesnt do every thing.

We were very happy with the service at Flying Cloud. The site was beautiful.

Jeannette has been very responsive and easy to work with thus far. She has great suggestions but isn't offended if you take or leave them. Space has a variety of options.
