The story
Switzer Farm sits far enough up the Pacific Coast that arriving, settling in, and spending a weekend together become part of the wedding.
Switzer Farm
The distance changes the gathering.
Once people make the trip to Westport, they tend to stay. That creates more shared time before and after the ceremony and makes the wedding feel like a full weekend rather than a single scheduled event.



The farmhouse, gardens, cliffs, and ocean let one part of the weekend flow into the next.

The landscape keeps reappearing.
The ocean is visible from the property, but the story also moves through the farmhouse, gardens, open fields, and cliff edges. Each space changes the scale of the photographs.


























































The day in full
A love story needs more than its headline moments.
Weddings here don’t feel like single-day events. They unfold over a full weekend, with people arriving, settling in, and actually spending time together. Some stay on the property, others nearby, but everyone moves through the same space, the farmhouse, the gardens, the cliffs, the ocean always just there in the background.
One of the things that makes a Switzer Farm wedding different is the pace.
There’s no real separation between parts of the day. Things flow from one moment into the next, slowly, without needing to be pushed.
There’s time. People linger. Conversations stretch out. Nothing feels rushed because it isn’t. The whole weekend gives space for things to unfold in a way that just doesn’t happen when everything is compressed into a few hours.
The landscape does a lot of the work here. The cliffs, the open sky, the way the light moves through the property. You don’t need to manufacture anything. It already feels like something.
Switzer Farm is one of the most unique wedding venues on the Northern California coast. It’s private, expansive, and built for a wedding weekend but still amazing for single day event.
Why this story matters
Build around pace, not volume.
Remote coastal weddings benefit from fewer transitions and generous buffers. The most valuable time is often the unassigned time when everyone is simply together.
