She helped create one of the most unforgettable moments for not just for me but family and friends. Her attention to detail made the venue even more beautiful.

They stayed on top of the task and went above to make sure everything was perfect for our special celebration. I can't get enough of how beautiful the venue is and the possibilities it provides. The best feature is the waterfall, such beauty.

Cute little venue for a small quaint event. I went to a FEVER event here called the Edgar Allen Poe…read moreSpeakeasy. It was a creepy, cozy event and the small venue was perfect for a nice macabre evening. It's located right down town Santa Rosa there's a nice patio area outside. The inside is like an old church or some kind of historic building. There's a stage and large seating area with another room behind like a foyer large enough for a photo area with bathrooms behind that. It's very white and historic looking over all. I enjoyed it and wouldn't be again going back for the right event.

Really, I'd rate this place between 2 and 2 1/2 stars…read more We came here on a rainy Tuesday. We were looking for dog friendly places and this location came up. It's a very large venue which was nice as there was plenty of open seating. Our bartender was ok, nothing special. We asked for a bowl of water and he said there were two on the patio and pointed to one that had dog hair in it. We passed. We ordered a beer and four samplers to drink. We also ordered pizza but were told that the pizza place (Acre Pizza) couldn't do a half and half pizza and no modifications could be made. You can only add items on. So we ordered two pizzas and waited the 20-25 minutes. The pizza was ok, but nothing spectacular for the cost of 33 dollars per pizza, mine was a little burnt as well. The pizza came with two flimsy plates a few napkins and exactly 1 packet of red peppers and 1 packed of grated cheese. Just a heads up the Acre Pizza is a few doors down and when comparing menus there is a $5.00 per pizza mark up.

I enjoyed Crooked Goat Brewing! My husband and I visited Barlow one sunny Saturday and after…read morewalking around the area, we popped into Crooked Goat. The space is nice- they have a lounge and an outdoor area, complete with a photo booth. Their selection of beers is pretty large and I loved the fact that I could get a flight/tasters for a reasonable price! They also have food options from the nearby businesses, so that's a super cool partnership/perk to have! I really liked their raspberry ale- it wasn't quite a cider nor a sour, but great for those who enjoy their fruity beers, like me. They also have space available to rent if you have any events, which is awesome. There was also a selection of different board games that you could just borrow and I thought it would've been perfect if we'd gone with a larger group. Overall, this is a great space with laid-back vibes.

I absolutely recommend Cloverleaf Ranch to any family considering horseback lessons for themselves…read moreor their children. We've been at their ranch since September 2024, and every single staff member we've encountered (including office, groundskeeping, and instructional staff) has presented themselves with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm. They've taught our boys how to ride and care for horses in a safe and skilled manner, all while exhibiting patience, dignity, and grace. They are friendly and welcoming at all times, and I feel no hesitation to trust our instructors with the safety of my children. The safety of their students and horses are of primary concern here--as it should be. I must offer an extra special thank you to Mia and Izzy, who have always made it their goal to teach my kids everything they possibly can about riding and equestrian care. It has been a blessing and a joy to work with them, and we love them both dearly! Thank you, ladies, for your dedicated work, and for always bringing upbeat smiles, wisdom, and positive attitudes to your students. I'd be remiss if I didn't also give honorable mention to Carley, who is not our instructor, but who is often on the training grounds during our appointment time. She makes us feel welcome, and goes out of her way to be friendly and encouraging while we are there. Thank you, Cloverleaf. Your pursuit of excellence in your craft has been of great benefit to our family. Keep up the good work!
