Monk Ranch

The Monk Ranch is a historic working farm and wedding venue set on 160 pastoral acres along Silveyville Road in Dixon, California, about 30 minutes from downtown Sacramento. Established in 1876 and now operated by the fifth generation of the founding Monk family, the property is surrounded by almond orchards and evokes the quiet character of Solano County's countryside. The ranch offers two complementary event spaces for intimate gatherings of up to 100 guests. The Ceremony Garden is a shaded outdoor setting filled with blooming flowers, overhanging trees, and planters, centered on a redwood arch altar with a small ground waterfall. The historic Reception Barn — painted barn red and over 120 years old — features open-beam ceilings, twinkle and market lighting, round tables, wooden chairs, and a dance floor. A barn breezeway serves as a cocktail space, complete with a rustic bar and barrel tables. Additional amenities include a bridal cabin with comfy seating and salon stations, a walnut tree swing, golf cart shuttle service, and a "Collection Container" stocked with rustic décor items available to borrow. The flat terrain throughout the property allows for easy disability access.
