Your Private Wedding Estate on the Mendocino Coast
Your wedding is more than a single day—it is a collection of moments shared with the people you love most. At Lichen Manor, we believe those moments deserve the time, privacy, and setting to unfold naturally.
Nestled among majestic redwoods and pygmy forest on nearly 20 private acres near the historic village of Mendocino, Lichen Manor is an exclusive English manor estate offering unforgettable wedding weekends in one of Northern California's most scenic destinations. Every wedding includes exclusive use of the property, allowing you and your guests to celebrate without interruptions or shared spaces.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate garden ceremony, a romantic celebration beneath the redwoods, or a weekend filled with family and friends, Lichen Manor provides an elegant and welcoming backdrop for your story.

Wedding Weekend, Not Just a Wedding Day
Unlike traditional venues that offer only a few hours, Lichen Manor is reserved exclusively for you for three days and two nights.
This extended experience gives you the freedom to enjoy every part of your celebration at a relaxed pace. Host a welcome dinner, rehearse with your wedding party, gather around the pub in the barn, celebrate your ceremony and reception, then wake up the next morning for breakfast together before saying goodbye.
Without the pressure of strict timelines, you can be fully present for every unforgettable moment.

Every couple celebrates differently.
Exchange vows beneath towering redwoods, surrounded by colorful gardens, beside peaceful ponds, or in another picturesque location on the estate. The property's natural beauty allows every wedding to feel unique while providing spectacular scenery in every season.
