Guides

These are people we work with and recommend on the Mendocino coast — planners, photographers, florists, rentals, bar service, and the venues themselves.

All local, and all people we’d happily hand you to.


The guides

Venues

Caspar and Greenwood community halls — kitchen, capacity, cost, curfew. More as we confirm them.

Planners

Two planners, and why the timeline is what decides whether the food arrives hot.

Photographers

Six working the coast, and the golden-hour question that quietly moves dinner.

Rentals

Two local companies, and what you actually have to rent at a venue with no kitchen.

Florists

Five florists and growers, and two decisions that change the table.

Bar service

Mendocino Outland, the ABC permit you’ll need, and the 10pm curfew.

And if you need a chef

We’re Mendocino Chef, cooking private dinners and small events from Point Arena to Ten Mile and inland through Anderson Valley. Retreats, dinners in the house you’ve rented, family gatherings, small weddings and the dinners either side. Two chefs, cooking it themselves.

If the food is the part you’re still working out, we’d love to hear from you. And if it isn’t, take the guides anyway — that’s what they’re for.
