Weddings & Private Functions

Rancho Nicasio is the perfect venue for corporate events,
private parties, company picnics, weddings & receptions.
Only "25 minutes from everywhere"
this historic roadhouse, established in 1941,
is situated in the geographical center of Marin County.
Tucked away among the rolling hills
of Nicasio Valley, this quaint village has retained its rural
atmosphere & tranquil beauty. We take great pride in offering fine American cuisine to accompany this unique setting.

Our five-acre site offers a beautifully manicured lawn
surrounded by the rolling hills of Nicasio Valley.
Redwood furniture decorates our rose & brick patio and
our Rancho Room deck faces a panoramic view of the valley.
You can enjoy relaxing under the pine trees while our chef
prepares your buffet. We feature an outdoor brick BBQ &
outside full service bar.
Capacity 300+ (seated)



The Rancho Room, decorated with local landscapes by
acclaimed artist Carol Satriani, is the perfect setting for
elegant dining. Crisp, white linens & soft lighting illuminate each table.
Wall sconces & a lighted wagon wheel adorn the large,
wooden dance floor. The original brick fireplace adds to the
Rancho Room's unique ambiance. French doors lead out onto
the Rancho Room deck, brick patio and lawn area.
Maximum capacity 200 (seated)




The Western Room is ideal for smaller & more intimate dining or meetings. It boasts a rustic frontier motif, which lends itself to a warm atmosphere. Tools of a bygone era, artwork & vintage album covers decorate the barn wood walls. Double doors open up to a
redwood deck, which is shaded with black walnut & buckeye trees. Maximum capacity 50 (seated)



Rich wood paneling, a boot worn wooden floor, a prized
collection of animal trophies & wood burning stove make the
Rancho Bar a cozy & inviting place. It is the perfect setting
for pre-party drinks & appetizers. Rancho's bar has been
the gathering spot for locals for generations.

Maximum capacity 30 (seated)
