Fees, Features, & Furnishings

If you’re picturing your “I do” in a place that whispers ‘timeless romance’ but screams ‘party time,’ then you absolutely must meet Straus Home Ranch.

Tucked away in Marshall, California, it’s not just a venue—it’s where your Pinterest board comes to life. Straus is a historic family farm, oozing with ‘rustic elegance’ (the kind that looks effortlessly chic, not just… well, farmy). The crown jewel? The Barn,It’s been so lovingly restored it practically begs for your boho-chic dreams or that earthy, elegant vibe you’ve been obsessing over. Room for up to 150 of your favorite people (because let’s be real, who actually likes Uncle Barry’s second cousin twice removed?).

Wedding Day Blueprint

Getting Ready in the Historic Farmhouse & Lawn
You arrive with your bridal party at the beautifully restored 1864 farmhouse perched above the bay, coffee in hand, as the “calm before the celebration” bathes you in golden light. The wrap-around porch? Perfect for candid shots.

Ceremony in the Eucalyptus Grove or Garden Overlooking Tomales Bay
We stroll to either the grove of towering eucalyptus and coastal cypress trees for a dramatic bay-view “I do”, or the garden near the heritage barn for a more intimate feel. Nature does the heavy lifting here.

Cocktail Hour on the Front Lawn or Barn Patio
Guests mingle across the lawn or on the barn patio, sipping something chilled while the sun lowers. [Yes, that’s the view you’ve been day-dreaming about.]

Dinner & Dancing in the Restored Hay Barn
We shift into the historic red barn—wood beams, soft lighting, rustic charm meets refined celebration—for your reception. Dinner, toasts, laughter, then the dance floor opens with no awkward pauses.

Sunset Portrait Walk + Party Mode
You and your partner steal away for golden-hour photos overlooking the bay while the guests slide fully into dancing mode back in the barn. Smooth, seamless, no “what do we do now?” moments.

This blueprint is your building block—you’re free to shuffle it, sprinkle in a sparkler exit, or make your own twist. At Straus Home Ranch, we believe your wedding should feel authentically you, and we’ll quietly smooth the edges so you shine.
