Julia Morgan Redwood Grove

Julia Morgan Redwood Grove is a historic private estate in Benbow Valley near Garberville, California, available to hire for weddings, private celebrations and corporate gatherings. Designed by architect Julia Morgan in 1926, the property sits among Northern California redwoods beside the South Fork of the Eel River. Its architecture, mature gardens and woodland setting give organisers a distinctive backdrop for events.

The estate has a choice of outdoor and indoor spaces, including lawns, terraces, an orchard and rooms within the main house. Depending on the event and layout, the site can host gatherings of up to 200 guests. Couples can arrange a ceremony and reception at the same location, with options for intimate weddings, elopements and larger celebrations. The grounds are also offered for private parties, retreats and leadership workshops.

Event packages can include tables, chairs and basic linens, on-site event support, shuttle transport on the property, access to a preparation room and use of designated event areas during the booked hours. The team discusses each enquiry individually, with a site visit available for prospective clients. Event planners can also ask about accommodation in the estate's cottage and carriage house, which may suit wedding parties or retreat guests staying overnight.

With its historic character, landscaped grounds and combination of indoor and outdoor settings, the estate offers organisers a venue for events shaped around the property and its surroundings. Guided estate and garden tours are also available separately from event bookings.
