An outdoor ceremony in Fairfax
The redwood grove provides a natural setting for an outdoor ceremony in Marin County. During a tour, examine the aisle, seating area, shade, and where guests will gather before and after the vows.
Discuss the weather alternative
The property also has indoor celebration spaces, including the Dance Hall at Bootlegger’s Lodge. Ask which arrangement is available for your date and guest count, and when a weather-related decision would need to be made.
Comfort across the whole day
Consider temperature changes, footwear, guest mobility, and evening transport alongside the ceremony backdrop. Confirm any arrangements for heating, lighting, or extra rentals with the venue and your vendors.
Your outdoor wedding planning checklist
Bring questions about sun and shade, sound, guest seating, and evening temperature to your visit. Ask how vendors access the setup areas and what arrangements require advance approval. Review the weather plan early so you are comfortable with both versions of the day.
