Venue Features
The scene:
Overlooking the rugged coastline of Northern California, Slide Ranch provides a beautiful, natural setting for your very special day. Located on 132 acres within Golden Gate National Park, choose your backdrop from a number of picture-perfect settings - coastline, pasture, Pacific sunset, garden, farm, or all of the above. Even thought we're only 30 minutes north of San Francisco, it will feel like a destination wedding. Hear the waves crash as you say 'I do'. Take your wedding pictures by our rustic barn or in the tidal zone. Party into the night in our traditional Mongolian yurt. Because Slide Ranch is a 501c3 nonprofit environmental educational facility for kids, you know your money is going to a worthy cause.
