Healdsburg, a community with small-town charm, known for its world-class food and wine, is a beautiful place for a wedding, as it is situated among the rolling hills of Alexander Valley.

Healdsburg is home to some of the region's premier wedding venues, but as it is a popular location for intimate destination weddings, keep in mind that you'll have to book your venue at least a year in advance.

Make sure you check out Healdsburg Country Gardens, one of the city's most enchanting venues, as it features flowering gardens, a rustic redwood barn with an outdoor terrace and grape arbor, and towering oak trees.

Thunderbird Ranch, another gorgeous venue, features a deck shaded by large oak trees, lush vineyards, and plenty of scenic locations for unique wedding photographs.

Costeaux French Bakery, which has been featured on the cover of Modern Baking, can make custom wedding cakes to fit the style, theme, and color scheme of your big day.

Healdsburg has plenty of things for you to do in your free time, so you might want to consider planning an extended wedding weekend in order to fully enjoy the city.

To start, you can go canoeing and kayaking on the Russian River, tour the Hand Fan Museum, go wine tasting at Simi Winery or J. Rochioli Vineyards & Winery, or spend a day at Spa Dolce.
