Glen Ellen sits in the Sonoma Valley just north of the town of Sonoma, nestled between the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains in a landscape Jack London called the Valley of the Moon. It is a place of extraordinary natural beauty — ancient coast live oaks draped over creek beds, volcanic ridgelines catching the late-afternoon light, and vineyards rolling across warm valley floors.
Weddings in Glen Ellen carry a literary and pastoral romance that is distinctly Sonoma. The valley's estates and wineries tend to be intimate and personal — nothing feels mass-produced here. B.R. Cohn Winery, with its olive groves and terraced vineyards, is one of the valley's great ceremony sites. The surrounding hills offer private estate settings that are genuinely spectacular.
Film House Weddings approaches Glen Ellen weddings with the same care and visual intelligence that the landscape demands. We know the light in the Valley of the Moon, the rhythm of intimate estate weddings, and how to capture the warmth and depth of a celebration in one of California's most beautiful wine valleys.

Glen Ellen Wedding Tips
Fall Harvest Light is Unmatched
September and October in the Valley of the Moon produce extraordinary light — warm, golden, and deeply cinematic. The harvest activity in the vineyards adds a layer of texture and authenticity that makes fall the most compelling season for wedding films here.
Explore Mountain Vineyard Sites
Glen Ellen's mountain estates offer elevation and panoramic valley views that flat-floor valley wineries cannot match. If dramatic visual range matters to you, ask your venue about ceremony sites with a valley overlook.
Reserve Your Winery Early
Glen Ellen's most intimate winery venues take very few weddings per year by design. Some book 18 to 24 months out for prime dates. Start your venue search early and be prepared to move quickly when you find the right fit.
Jack London's Park Permits
Jack London State Historic Park requires a special event permit for ceremonies. The process has lead time — start permit applications at least six months ahead of your event date.

What makes Glen Ellen different from Healdsburg or Napa for a wine-country wedding?
Glen Ellen and the Sonoma Valley feel more intimate, literary, and grounded than the polished hospitality corridors of Healdsburg or St. Helena. The Valley of the Moon has a wildness and depth to it — ancient oaks, volcanic hillsides, the legacy of Jack London — that gives weddings here a distinctive emotional quality.
