Ferndale Music Company

Ferndale Music Company is a music-focused event venue and creative hub in the Victorian town of Ferndale, California. Its home, The Old Steeple, is a beautifully restored former Methodist church offering a distinctive setting for concerts, weddings, private celebrations, community gatherings and business events.

With its historic architecture, stained glass windows and intimate atmosphere, the venue provides a memorable alternative to conventional event spaces. The Old Steeple can accommodate up to 225 guests in concert configuration, while the layout can be adapted for dining and private functions. Professional sound equipment supports live performances, presentations and other programmed events, making the space suitable for organisers seeking both character and practical event facilities.

The venue regularly hosts a varied programme of live music, including roots, folk, bluegrass, classical, country and contemporary performances. It has also been used for special events, cultural programmes, community activities and recorded performances. Wedding organisers can consider the historic church setting for ceremonies, receptions or music-led celebrations, while businesses may find the venue suitable for seminars, talks, receptions and distinctive staff or client events.

Alongside venue hire and concerts, Ferndale Music Company provides music tuition for learners of different ages and abilities, with lessons covering instruments such as guitar, bass, ukulele, piano, drums, fiddle and mandolin. This combination of live performance, education and event hosting gives the organisation a strong cultural identity and makes The Old Steeple an appealing choice for planners looking for an atmospheric, music-oriented venue on California’s redwood coast.
