Holly's Ocean Meadow

Holly's Ocean Meadow sits on the Mendocino Coast near Fort Bragg, California, an oceanfront property with a flowering meadow, a private beach, and views over the Pacific from its ocean bluff. The setting is rustic and garden-like, part vacation rental and part wedding venue, surrounded by rural coastline.

Couples can hold a ceremony and reception in the Oceanfront Meadow, which faces the water and includes a 40 by 60 foot tent pad wired for electricity and water, with room for up to 99 guests. A private beach reached from the property's bluff offers an alternate ceremony setting. For weather backup, the Living Room holds up to 20 guests for a ceremony and the Dining Room seats up to 32 for a reception, both inside the main house.

The venue does not provide in-house catering, but outside caterers are welcome, and couples are free to choose their own vendors rather than work from a required list. On-site accommodations come with the booking, though a three-day minimum stay applies, and couples should plan to bring their own day-of coordinator, since none is provided on site.
