A beautiful Spot for weddings... especially photographing them!
I recently visited for a tour, and I was reminded of how cool this place is, it reminded me of a wedding I photographed here several years ago... September and REALLY hot, but georgeous sunlight!
The place is definitely haunted, in a good way!

This is an interesting place in the middle of nowhere. Definitely a historic landmark. The old farmhouse and the barn where they used to shoe horses still there. I'd love to attend the tea here they do annually. There's a small kitchen in the great room. I found the old telephone system interesting. There were wires under the house from one building to the other that still work.
All the items are authentic. I loved seeing the old record player and the fact the the staff here are all very knowledgeable about the grounds and its history.
For this house and its contents to still exist and in the condition they are in is amazing. The grounds are impeccable and peaceful. Great place to come, kick back and read a book on a fall or spring day. Summer time forget it, you'll roast.

I can't believe I never thought to review Ravenswood. This place is great. I think it's a really cool part of Livermore.
I've been here for both docent-led tours as well as weddings. The FREE tours are offered the second and fourth Sunday of each month. They've really spruced the place up, quite a few antiques/furniture/decor reflecting the era when the Buckley family lived on the site as far back as the 1880s.
I've been here for a couple weddings too, and they were very nice. The area behind the house is very picturesque for the ceremony itself. The last one I went to had tables set up in the front lawn for the reception. The whole place is back far enough from the road, separated with a small vineyard. Overall, a great facility.
Ravenswood also hosts a couple cool annual events: the Ice Cream Social in the summer and the Yuletide Celebration in December. These events are also free!
It even looks pretty just driving by down the road. A nice change from all the housing developments popping up on this end of town.

I just recently toured Ravenswood with my 11 year daughter in search of a place for our wedding on June 27, 2009. I can not describe to you how magical it was. The trees are beautiful and the Victorian aspect is amazing. They have kept the house and grounds in emasculate condition. There was a butterfly that circled us 3 times and at that moment we looked at each other and said "This is it". So needless to say, We will be getting married here. I will update my review as our time gets closer.
