Billie & Chad's Wedding Details

August 30th — September 2nd, 2024. Switzer Farms, Westport, CA

We are so excited to invite you to our Wedding. Having you join in celebrating this evolution of our relationship means so much to us. We have chosen an idyllic location that we consider one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Switzer Farm, has a historic farmhouse once photographed by Ansel Adams, sets just west of Highway 1 on cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. Built in 1884, the house has been owned by 4 different familes. The current owners bought the property in 2015 and finished a complete remodel in 2017, when they opened it up for events. To learn more about the farm and Westport visit Switzer Farm's Website.

General festivites begin on August 30th, proceeding until checkout on September 2nd. We hope that each of you will be able to stay over the whole course of planned events, and will be able to enjoy the unmatched beauty of the Mendocino Coast.

Gifts & Registry

Your presence is the most precious thing to us. Making the trip and spending this weekend celebrating our marriage is all we want. That being said, if you feel compelled to give us a gift we have a couple of thoughts:

Create

Many of you are artists, poets, and/or musicians, and we appreciate creativity and expression. Chad is a collector and Billie is herself an Artist. We welcome your art into our lives.

Registry

If you prefer to buy a gift, we have put together a registy of items for purchase & a fund to which you may contribute. The main focus of the gift registry is to update and replenish our dishes and flatware. Our Registry
