Switzer Farm

Switzer Farm sits on 22 acres of coastal headlands along California's Mendocino Coast, just north of the village of Westport. The property centers on a Victorian farmhouse built in 1884 and carefully restored over three years, offering sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean from its blufftops, meadows, and south lawn. The venue rents exclusively — one wedding weekend at a time — accommodating up to 99 guests across its grounds. Lodging for more than 20 guests is included in the rental, spread between the main farmhouse and a garden cottage. Event areas span the full property: a south lawn electrified and plumbed for catering and dancing, a veranda and gardens suited to ceremonies and cocktail receptions, and dramatic oceanfront bluff sites above the Pacific surf. Each rental is a three-day, three-night engagement with full access to all 22 acres. An on-site manager is present throughout the weekend to support the event team. Switzer Farm maintains a network of recommended photographers, caterers, florists, and musicians familiar with the property.
