About Us

Set across 80 forested acres in Arcata, Ridgefield is designed for wedding weekends that feel calm, intentional, and fully hosted. The estate is owned and stewarded by Scott and Krista, with a focus on preservation, privacy, and meaningful celebration.

Ridgefield holds a special place in our hearts, as we acquired this stunning property in 2004 and have poured our passion into it ever since. Our commitment to the environment and the preservation of the majestic Redwoods led us to recently gift the land to the city of Arcata as a conservation easement. This ensures the perpetuity of the Redwood forest habitat, allowing generations to come to revel in the tranquility and magic of this unique space.
