The entire property is breathtaking and there is nothing better than the sight and smell of fresh roses everywhere! Our guests raved (and even a year out they're still dropping us compliments) about how gorgeous the Belvedere lawn area and Secret Garden were, which is where we held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The koi pond is a hidden gem that we loved doing our first look at. Working with Jessica made planning our vision for the day feel so easy. She is so kind, responsive, generous, and professional. She and the team had also worked with many of our other vendors who were local to the area, so we felt at ease knowing everything would go just as planned on such a busy day. Garden Valley Ranch is a stunning place and we cannot recommend it enough. Our wedding day flew by so fast and we wished we had gotten more time to enjoy this beautiful space!

It's amazing how they can transform this place into something magical and memorable for the couple to make it their own and add their own special touches. Such a beautiful place and the journey starts a couple of miles before reaching Flying Cloud. The drive up with the greenery and awe inspiring beauty that surrounds this place and the hills especially late afternoon as the sun sets low, the peaceful drive up sets the tone for the experience one is about to have here. I've come here a few times to see it as well as the day before for rehearsal and seeing it on the day of the wedding was unbelievable. The place completely transformed into this wonderful fairy tale enchantment that was perfect for the couple. Absolutely a charming place. They transformed this place from the ceremony with the arbor with pretty floral arrangements and rows of chairs with umbrellas to a full dining delight in round tables, linen, flowers and umbrellas. So so special. And at night with the white lights on the trees and the hanging light above the dance floor was just picture perfect! I also should mention the bridal suite is large enough for the bridal party (and then some) with a makeup/hair artist to get ready in. Thank you so much to the staff who worked here that evening, the coordinator here at Flying Cloud and a big thank you to Julia who was wonderful to work with (at rehearsal and day of wedding), so calm and she made sure everything turned out perfectly for the couple's epic day. We appreciate it.

It's so important for each couple to be able to adapt a space specific for their wants and Flying Cloud really acts as a great space for that.

Both of my clients that have had their weddings here also told me how great Jeannette and Julia were from the beginning!

This is definitely our go-to local store for chicken feed, vet visits, and dog supplies. It's…read moredefinitely a no frills experience, with barn ambiance and hay in the air, but you can't beat the hands on help of them loading the feed into your vehicle in their loading zone and you just driving away. The shot vet visits make it super easy to drive over after reserving a slot for our dogs and not having to deal with lines and pet drama while making sure our dogs stay current on their vaccines. I love that they sell chicks and pullets basically all the time, and their selection seems like it's always pretty good on variety and health of their animals. When I have the opportunity to do local business over some big chain, I always try to opt for it, and frizelle enos is one I gladly choose over the chain competition.

This ensures a positive experience for both parties and prevents overstimulation. During the tour, the animals are placed in a smaller pens so they can come up to interact but even then, there's plenty of room for them to choose not to come up. After the tours, the larger animals have access to larger acres of land to roam and run. Our guides are knowledgeable and great at interacting with guests of all ages. They ensured everyone had a safe, fun, and educational time. The tour brings you into one full loop and ends at the parking lot which is pretty convenient. At the end of the tour, we got to a choose a calendar to take home. Overall, highly recommend to book a tour and come visit. We had an incredible time learning and interacting with the animals.

Pros: - love what they are doing by taking in animals when their owners need help with caring for them - fairly affordable, group tour was $100 - they provided lots of carrots and lettuce for the animals! Cons: - I would have loved learning more about the animals, we were only provided information when we asked questions 1:1 with tour guide.

A gem of a human but also someone who knows A LOT about horses and can be trusted with real life, first hand skills. When I approached her about lessons, I was a mid 20 year old not looking for a competitive and high strung barn, which is what Sonoma County is highly populated with. I was still nuts about horses but didn't need the pressure and tension that comes along with showing and timelines. Phoebe charmed me with her lesson horses and comfortable atmosphere, so much so that after I had gotten married I decided to buy my first horse with her assistance! This process was rough, shopping was something I wasn't emotionally prepared for but Phoebe took everything in stride, never rushing me or falsifying the process. Thank god I had Phoebe with me, as I would have just given up. Flash forward, I'm now the proud horse mom of a paint! I would recommend Phoebe to anyone, horse person or complete newbie. I trust her knowledge and guidance more than any horse person in the industry. Thank you Phoebe!!

We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps.
