Imagine being married under the redwood tree the Stows received in 1872 for their first anniversary or on the steps of the Gothic Revival mansion that sits beside it. Imagine strolling over to Lake Los Carneros to for a private moment or tossing your bouquet beneath the grandest bird of paradise your guests have ever seen. Imagine your wedding at the lovely gardens of Rancho La Patera

The gardens are perfect for events from intimate weddings to large festivals.  You choose your caterer and we provide the most beautiful and serene place to hold your own unique event. 
A lively luau, a traditional garden party, a Spanish themed fiesta, a 1920s cocktail party, a Tuscan feast, an elegant wine festival, a fabulous fundraiser…The possibilities are endless.

“It has been almost six months since our wedding, yet the memories of
that beautiful day remain vivid in our minds... The Stow House Garden was the perfect setting for the wedding we envisioned, and with your help all of our dreams for the day came true.”
-Anna and Bob Childs
