Looking for a forest wedding venue under 2k in California.

Hi Alexis! Is there a specific part of California you're looking at? And about how many guests are you hoping to invite??

Elings Park in Santa Barbara has an affordable rental rate and is a really pretty outdoor venue and The Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden in Pasadena looks gorgeous!!

You should also check out Hicksville Pines Bud & Breakfast, SkyPark Weddings, The 1909, Double Eagle Resort and Spa in June Lake, Wildwood Acres in Lafayette, The Ranch at Little Hills in San Ramon, Highlands House and Park in Ben Lomond, Saratoga Springs, and Mountain House Estate in Cloverdale.

We love in Sacramento, so we are leaning toward a northern California wedding. And we will probably have 50-75 guests.

Wow, this is a great lists, Thank you!

Whoops! Forgot those were there. haha

I live in Northern Cali, Humboldt County. We are surronded by BEAUTIFUL redwood trees and I've seen beautiful weddings held in the middle of the of the redwoods.

Here's a link to some locations. Also I'm not sure of this too far North for you or not!

Did you ever end up finding a good one?

View Quoted Comment Hi! Yes, we did! We got married in Apple Hill at a venue called High Sierra Iris! It was a beatiful venue, and very reasonably priced. With tall trees all around and these beautiful white stairs amongst all the greenery that makes for quite the entrance. Highly recommend. Then in the winter part of their property is a Christmas tree farm. So now my husband and I visit the venue and stop by where we got married when we go get our Christmas tree. https://weddingsnflowers.com/

View Quoted Comment I know this post is old but would you happen to have some similar suggestions in the SoCal region? I’m looking for the exact same style but unfortunately most of these are too far north for us 😭 If not I understand, or I’d love to just know how you found so many! I feel like all I find down here are the 10k and up venues that are primarily all inclusive.
