Consider Almond Springs in San Miguel, CA, for your rustic ranch-style wedding. Being located in the wine country, Almond Springs weaves together country charm and chic like no other. The site is part of a fifth-generation, family-owned and operated ranch that began as a dry land almond farm in the late 19th century. Natural spring water on the property was used to supply a large settlement and almond orchard, whose remnants can still be seen today. Over the years, the ranch has evolved into a grain, hay, and livestock operation. Therefore, Almond Springs comes with a huge expanse featuring several spaces to host a variety of functions. The Legends Saloon, The Barn, Loading Dock Stage, the Bear House, and the Game Room Mine Shaft are yours to make them your own. Fully equipped cabins can be availed of by the wedding party to get ready. You and your guests can enjoy the day without any interruption and party like there’s no tomorrow since there aren't any noise restrictions.
Almond Springs offers two wedding packages that couples can choose from, as per their budget and style. Outside vendors are welcome, and a full prep kitchen with a walk-in fridge can also be provided for the event. You will find the staff at Almond Springs approachable, willing, and ever ready to go the extra mile to make your day one for the books.

From the moment we toured Almond Springs, we knew we had found something truly special. The setting itself is breathtaking, beautifully maintained grounds, and a peaceful, romantic...
atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming.
What truly sets this venue apart, though, is Jacob and Carly themselves and their family. Their care, passion, and attention to detail shine through in everything they do. They went above and beyond in helping us plan our wedding, offering guidance, reassurance, and hands-on support. Especially when rain threatened to dampen the day, Carly was prepared for anything. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their experience and calm presence made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable.
They genuinely care about each couple and their vision, and it shows. Our day ran smoothly, stress-free, and more beautifully than we could have imagined.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous country venue paired with owners who truly invest their hearts into making your wedding perfect, Almond Springs is an absolute dream. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

lmond Springs was the only venue we visited and immediately knew it was the perfect location for the wedding we were dreaming of. Carly, Jacob and the family were so welcoming and hospitable during our visits leading up to our wedding weekend. The event went off without a hitch, due in large part to Carly and Paul making sure everything was executed with precision and care. Our guests were all blown away by the beauty of the venue and the professionalism of the entire Almond Springs staff. I would highly recommend Almond Springs for a unique and beautiful wedding celebration.

he reception. Carly also helped pack stuff up the next morning. They are very flexible when it comes to having stuff dropped off and picked up, Jacob did all the set up for picking up so the rental company knew where to go. Aside from their great services the venue is beautiful, just far enough away from the wineries so you do not see any of the vineyards (we dont like the look of them) and they have goats that wander around. the venue itself also has a pool table, darts, big bar, barn, and large walkin fridge and a lot of space for everything you can imagine

We couldn't be more thrilled to share our experience with Carly and Jacob at Almond Springs. Two months before our wedding, we found ourselves parting ways with our previous coordi...
nator, and Carly stepped in to save the day. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an unparalleled level of organization, sincerity, and empathy. Her genuine care for the success of our wedding was evident in every detail she meticulously planned.
Carly's dedication and genuine passion for her work shone through in every interaction. She truly listened to our vision and made it come to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Her ability to manage all the moving parts of our big day with such grace and efficiency was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to her, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day, knowing that everything was in the best possible hands. If you are planning to get married here, please do yourself a favor and just book Carly as your coordinator from the beginning. You will not be disappointed.
Jacob was equally amazing from the moment we met him 18+ months prior on our first tour of the venue. His calm demeanor and willingness to make anything we wanted a reality were some of the key reasons we booked the property. His commitment to ensuring our day was perfect was unwavering. Jacob's supportive and can-do attitude provided us with a sense of confidence and ease throughout the entire planning process.
Together, Carly and Jacob exceeded our expectations in every aspect of coordination and venue management. These two have an amazing dynamic and you can see how they work so perfectly together (and probably why they are husband and wife! haha) Their teamwork and dedication ensured that our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Our guests raved about the location, noting how unique and beautiful the property was. So many of our friends and family stated it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, and we attribute that to the amazing team of Carly and Jacob at Almond Springs.
We are immensely grateful for their hard work and heart, which made our wedding an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple looking for a truly exceptional wedding coordination and venue management team.

Almond Springs was the first venue we looked at and we absolutely fell in love. It’s a feeling of overwhelming peace when you arrive. Every bit of it is beautiful and breathtaking....
Not only the location, but Jacob & Carly are the most easy going people. They are on top of it in every way, they respond quickly & efficiently, and are here to make your day everything you want it to be. The day of our wedding they were both checking in on us and our needs and that wasn’t even their job! They care for you & not just what they are getting out of it. They made our wedding day so beautiful and it’s so refreshing to not have any regrets in the venue you chose for your big day. Every single one of our guests complimented our venue. If you’re worried about how far it may be - don’t. It’s 100% worth it.

I appreciate them so much and their stunning venue. There's a lot to take in and plenty of ways to entertain your guests. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd been to and a lot of that had to do with the setting. If you are considering this venue absolutely rent the cabins overnight, I would even rent it out for the rehearsal dinner. I wish I had!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Almond Springs and the venue managers. We hope to host many more private events in the coming years at the venue. If you’re looking for a beautiful rustic and elegant venue with everything your heart could desire look no further than Almond Springs!

reas that are amazing backdrops for photos. We had people from all over the country in attendance, with over half coming from the northeast US, and every person took time to approach us during the wedding saying it was the coolest venue they’ve ever been to! Don’t forget to get sunset photos on top of the hills for even more awesome views!
We also love that this is a family owned venue passed down for generations, and Jacob and Carly were so awesome and helpful in every way, especially given we DIY’d most of the wedding. And can’t forget the adorable baby goats!!
Very importantly for brides and grooms- it is a FAIR PRICE that won’t break the bank and is insanely worth it. Definitely highly recommend Almond Springs for your wedding!

As everyone knows, wedding planning is no picnic. Since the venue is one of the biggest determiners of everything from design features to timeline, it is essential to have a venue ...
that can meet your needs. Essential to a venue is the manager. Jacob with Almond Springs is everything we could have asked for.
He is a very good communicator. He is clear and calm when things get crazy or need to change. He is experienced and knows how to get the best out of his space. He is very flexible and will go the extra mile to see your vision fulfilled. We were very lucky to have him on our team.
He helped us set up, he helped us take down. He was available at all times during the event, without being intrusive or looking over anyone's shoulder. He allowed us do some uncommon things - like set up a scavenger hunt on his premises. Throughout the process, as obstacles inevitably arose with flowers, transportation, and food, I was constantly thinking -- at least our venue process has been smooth and accommodating.
Oh, and he will take you and your photographer up to a hillside overlooking the property with unbelievable lighting, just because he wants you to have incredible pictures.
Thank you again, Jacob. We had a truly enchanting time at Almond Springs.

When we visited Almond Springs we fell in love. The venue was so unique, rustic, vintage and every single detail on the property was thought about and had so much character. There ...
really is not another venue like it. Its away from town and you feel like your are on your own secluded ranch. Not only was the venue perfect for us, Jacob truly sold us the day we met him and then continued to reassure us over the year that we were in the best hands possible. Jacob and his family were so welcoming and accommodating. Always so eager to help in any way possible and always available. The kind of people you want to surround yourself with. You can see their love for this property and that made us love it that much more . Jacob truly made our entire wedding planning process and wedding day easy and enjoyable. He is 100% reliable and honest. I wish we could get married again just to re-visit! Please don't hesitate on this venue choice, contact Jacob and tour this gorgeous property. You won't regret it! This venue was our favorite part of our wedding! We are forever grateful to have found Almond Springs, Jacob and his family.

Almond Springs was the first venue we visited and upon arrival we knew we had found our spot. Jacob was so friendly and accommodating and we appreciated how he wasn't corny about w...
edding planning. We felt like we were at a friend of a friend's and the location reminded us both of special places from our childhood.
Almond Springs is about 20 minutes out from downtown Paso, mostly dirt and gravel roads, but the journey is worth it. It's expansive with lots of fun little nooks and areas to sit and hang out. There's a wonderful breeze and lots of trees and it’s tucked in rolling golden hills with goats overlooking. Over the course of our wedding planning Jacob and his family built up the property a ton. There is a game room, a bar, a huge barn, massive kitchen with walk in fridge, firepit, and 2 cabins on site that you can rent for the night (or use during the day to get ready / resting area for older people or parents with kids).
Being able to bring in our own vendors for our wedding was important to us and Jacob was happy to share all of his recommendations. We had both our rehearsal/dinner and ceremony/reception on the property and it was so fun to be able to spend so much time in this beautiful place.
We also appreciated how late we could stay there. Most wedding venues require you to exit by 10 but Almond Springs let us go until 12. I would definitely recommend hiring a shuttle service (we used SLO Safe Ride) or drivers because the roads are pretty dark when it gets late.
Almond Springs was truly the best wedding venue we could have asked for. Thank you Jacob and your whole family for making us feel so welcome and letting us throw a wedding that really felt like us.

Our wedding venue cancelled on us when my husband and I had to postpone due to COVID, so I had to go venue searching for a second time. As stressful as that was, I am SO HAPPY that...
it happened because that led us to book Almond Springs.
First, it is the most beautiful ranch style venue we've ever seen. They have different buildings that our guests were able to explore and take photos in, which everyone loved. The have a saloon style bar area in a separate building that was perfect for our bartenders. Every building has the same ranch decor, it is all so beautiful and it made our decor so easy because we didn't have to do much. Our photographer loved the venue, and we got so many beautiful photos taken at so many different locations!
Second, Jacob (manager) and his family are the sweetest people ever. From the start, they told us that they would do their best to make our wedding vision come true, and they delivered. They were so helpful, understanding and flexible. They were there during our entire event and tried to help with whatever we needed. We were also able to book their photobooth which made it easy for us to not have to deal with another vendor!
One thing I was nervous about was people getting lost since the venue is a little bit in the middle of nowhere. However, Jacob sent me a PDF that I was able to send to all the vendors, and a cartoon map that I posted on our wedding website, along with written instructions. To my knowledge, no one got lost and all our guests arrived on time. I also made sure to let everyone know that there is no rideshare services available, and all of our guests were able to figure out rides home.
Looking back, I would do this day over and over again a million times (and every time at Almond Springs!). My husband and I had the best time, and our guests absolutely loved our venue and our wedding. 10/10 would recommend booking with Almond Springs!

One thing to note, finding this place can be a little challenging so I would highly suggest getting a shuttle bus for your guests. Thank you for making our day so beautiful and memorable!!

This Venue is hands down The BEST Venue. Carly and Jacob are just the absolute best. They make you feel like FAMILY. Our wedding day still feels like a dream. 2020 was not easy yea...
r to plan a wedding, but Carly and Jacob made it feel effortless. The venue has everything at your fingertips. From a kitchen used wonderfully for our rehearsal dinner and a walk in fridge, great for your floral arrangements and your cake. The stand alone western style bar is epic. The Beautifully constructed Barn, Man Cave, Bar and Cabins all built with such craftsmanship. The venue needs very little additional decor and is very easily personalized for your special day. From Day 1 we knew this was the place for us. My Husband is from Missouri and this was the perfect elegant and rustic venue. Tip: take romantic pictures on the hill top, you will not regret it. Sunset in the background and rolling hills with your now husband or wife!
Thank you so much Almond Springs for the honor of being married here!! Xoxo

The only con I think we had, is that there is hardly any cell service and the directions to get here are a little tough. But I would 100% recommend this venue to any couple I know!

I spent years dreaming of my wedding day. I never knew what exactly I wanted it to be but I had tons of ideas. When I found Almond Springs it clicked. Everything fell into place. ...
It’s open enough that you don’t feel crowded with large numbers of guests but set up in a way that makes in feel intimate. Since our wedding in 2016 and I have attended other events at the venue. They have continued to update it and make it more beautiful every time. When I attend other weddings I constantly find myself comparing them to ours. I’m sure everyone with a positive experience thinks their venue was the best. But I can’t say with total confidence that you will not be disappointed in this choice.
