5 of 5 Stars. Farmstead by Long Meadow Ranch is simply the best. Hosting our destination wedding ceremony & reception in Napa Valley provides a myriad of opportunities when it comes to venue selection. But choosing a place with an amazing outdoor setting, an outstanding culinary experience and a team of dedicated professionals is not an easy task, except for Farmstead. Since our engagement two years to the date of the reception – and having done substantial business with Long Meadow Ranch while working in hospitality at home in Boston, MA, we knew we wanted to incorporate Farmstead and showcase a true farm to table celebration with our family & friends. The Live Fire Family Style menu was a culinary masterpiece, perfectly paired with fresh seasonal flavors straight from the Long Meadow Ranch Rutherford Farm. While many team members were involved over those two years, each member of the Farmstead staff was dedicated to making our wedding a success. Special thanks to Brad Groper at Long Meadow Ranch and the entire Farmstead team both present & past: Alejandra, Evan, Elise as well as Chef’s Steven & Dan for taking care of us day of and in the days and weeks leading up, and Rebecca, Alexia & Jessica who had assisted us in a multitude of ways throughout the engagement!

We had an incredible time at Long Meadow Ranch for our rehearsal dinner this past Friday. They were super easy to work with, and were able to make an extra batch of our specialty cocktail on the spot when we ran out. Alejandra is super professional and easy to work with, and super responsive via email whenever we needed to make any changes. 10/10 would highly recommend them for their beautiful venue and friendly staff. Be sure to get the bonfire with the smores that was a huge hit!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Farmstead in June 2023 and we can’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the entire team was a dream to work with. Although we had several event coordinators over the course of our two-year engagement, the transition between each was seamless - a sure sign that Farmstead has a great system in place to support its event services! They have an online portal which makes coordinating contracts, payments, and planning a breeze. The property is stunning and offers so many different options for cocktail hour, ceremony, music, and dancing. The team was so accommodating of allergies, special diets, and cultural/traditional decoration requests (hanging 1,000 paper cranes)! They also have access to the first two rows of the adjacent vineyard, in case you have your heart set on some couples pictures amongst the vines! It is clear that this team knows what they are doing and we felt so supported through the entire planning process, which was (shockingly) stress-free.
The real highlight of having our wedding at Farmstead was the food, wine, and service. The menu tasting was one of the best dining experiences my husband and I have had anywhere, and choosing just a few of the items for our final menu was such a challenge as everything was mind-blowingly delicious. So many of our guests have told us that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and the service was absolutely top notch all night. And of course, the wine was perfect and we can’t wait to open a bottle of their Pinot Noir on our anniversary!
We highly recommend having your wedding or event at Farmstead at LongMeadow Ranch. Thank you to Alejandra, Chef Kipp, and the entire team for giving us the perfect wedding day!
