So my bridesmaid just got engaged recently! They are aiming for a May/June 2010 wedding.

Their budget is labout lowest 10k, hopefully 15-18k.

Here are some of the venues she really liked:
Bear Flag Farm http://www.bearflagfarmbride.com/index2.php Dawn Ranch http://www.dawnranch.com/
Sandrock Farm http://www.sandrockfarm.com/

She''s looking at this one on Saturday.
http://www.vignetteevents.com/index.html

Unfortunately most of these are totally out of her budget range. She''s having about 100-120 guests. She doesn''t mind if the venue is all inclusive or fancy or anything like that as long as it''s outdoors, naturey and pretty.

She''s looking for any farm/garden/estate type places. She''s using the word "estate" very loosely as she''s not expecting anything grand or magnificent.

I pointed her to Here Comes the Guide but a lot of those cute gardeny places can''t accomodate 120 people. I could see her doing something outdoors, catered but simple, and if warm enough maybe even no tent. The basics. I suggested the Mill Pond in Soquel where my old boss got married but I guess the property was sold.

I think she''s probably have the wedding in the bay area/santa cruz area vs going all the way up to healdsburg or Napa since that can be pricier for everyone UNLESS she can find something really awesome.

Thanks for your help as always!
 
Ha, I had a few suggestions until I opened your links to realize the ''bay area'' you were referring to is CA Bay area and not Tampa (FL) Bay area. Sorry

The ones she''s found are beautiful, I hope she finds something as lovely in her price range.
 
Depends on how outdoorsy she wants but we got married at Fort Mason Park. We only had our ceremony there but it was beautiful and I know they allow receptions in some spots. And best of all it was only $400 to rent.

Livermore has a ton of beautiful wineries that are a lot cheaper than Napa...that might be another option.
 
Tilden Park is also relatively inexpensive. It has a garden and woodsy atmosphere and is very beautiful.
