Welcome to the ranch! After 25 years in broadcasting I returned home to develop our family farm into an event venue. From our former dairy barn and goat pasture, to our bridal tree with sweeping panoramic views of our vineyard, to our historic farmhouse with a rose garden--- there is something for every style. This property has been in our family for almost a century. Come celebrate with us!

Rachel and the Lone Wulff Ranch were an absolute dream for our wedding day. We were specifically looking for a venue where we weren't locked into catering contracts and could have ...
food that fit us best and we quickly found The Lone Wulff Ranch. Immediately upon pulling onto the property for a tour I was pretty confident we were going to book. It has the perfect rustic ranch feel with so many options for your day. The oak tree is magical, the goats add such a fun touch, noodle and the rest of the characters on the ranch just added even more to the experience.
In planning the big day Rachel was extremely prompt and professional. She has seen A LOT and she knows what to prepare you for. Her vendor list is top tier, but she lets you book outside of her list if you want which is nice if you want the flexibility. The staff on site during the wedding is amazing. Everyone is all in on you having a magical day and it really shows. The only issue (that I know of, at least) on our wedding day was that the bathroom generator ran out of gas, but Rachel was immediately on it and refilled it in a matter of minutes.
This venue has SO MUCH to offer. If it fits your vision, book it. There is so much customization on this property, they have a prop den if you want to keep it easy. We got so many compliments on the venue and how balanced it is for guests. It gives you separate ceremony and reception space all on one property allowing for a seamless experience for everyone. The barn critters were such a fun addition for us, but Rachel also was extremely mindful that they were part of our vision for the day.
I will always sing the praises of Rachel and this venue, absolutely would recommend.

We came to Rachel beginning of 2024 absolutely stressing on finding another venue for our Nov 2024 wedding after an unfortunate experience with another venue. We booked a tour and ...
my now husband and I knew we wanted our wedding at the ranch before our tour was even over. Rachel was so easy and fun to work with during the process and the day of our big day. She was quick to reply and answer any questions we had. She answered all of the questions our coordinator asked her. She was made the process so easy for us. If someone asked me what venue to use for a wedding, birthday, any event big or small…we will ALWAYS recommend the ranch. We love Rachel & her staff!

We got married at the Lone Wulff Ranch October 19th, and it was everything we hoped and dreamed of! This venue is absolutely stunning and has unlimited decor opportunities due to ...
the vast amount of space offered. This place fit our vision perfectly. It was just the right amount of rustic, hiatoric and vintage plus the big tree brought the perfect fall vibe! Our photographer had so many different photo spots to choose from as well.
We absolutely loved the warm welcoming atmosphere Rachel created, it made not only us but all our family and friends feel like we were at home. Plus who doesn’t love a place with goats, our guests absolutely loved them! With so much space we were able to set up so many different activities and things to keep our guests of all ages excited and guessing every step of the day.
We chose the classic package and were extremely satisfied! It included almost everything we needed, rentals of linens, tables (which we were able to upgrade to these amazing farmhouse tables!), chairs, bartender, plates, silverware and glassware, etc. having everything included in a package helped make planning so much easier! Plus since we were able to swap out the DJ in the package (we already had our own DJ in mind) for this beautiful draping of the barn and chandeliers! Also how awesome is it that we got the venue for 3 days which really helped with setting up as much possible the day before and able to come back the next day after to finish clean up. Out of all the venues I toured Lone Wulff was the only that offered that option! It made it so we didn’t feel rushed day of or at the end of the night! Rachel was awesome to say the least and super accommodating every step of the way, if any issue or question arose she was there to answer any questions and help. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Lone Wulff, it made every dream and vision come to life and gave us the most special wedding day. We truly thank Rachel and her team for everything, it was all we could hope for! We’re still dreaming of this day and our guests are still talking about the amazing venue! Thank you Rachel for opening your venue to us and making us all feel like part of the family!

We got married at Lone Wulff Ranch in early October and had an excellent time. The venue is beautiful and matched exactly what we wanted. It feels like I looked at every venue in t...
he Sacramento area and am extremely grateful that we were able to secure a date at Lone Wulff Ranch.
Rachel, the owner was extremely helpful every step of the way. The venue is beautiful with tons of space and gives you a lot of flexibility for how you'd like to structure your wedding. The weekend rental also gave us the opportunity to have a Friday event.
Leading up to our wedding, the forecast was low-to-mid 80s and then a heat wave rolled in and it ended up being 100 degrees, which was a nightmare scenario for me. It was honestly completely fine under the shade of the tree, where the temp was registering in the low 80s. The shade cast by the tree covered every one of our 135 guests, with room to spare. The area in front of the barn was also shaded by the time we had our cocktail hour.
I'd highly recommend Lone Wulff Ranch to anyone even remotely interested. It allows you to personalize your wedding in a DIY style without being completely on your own. Depending on package, you'll have certain inclusions, and Rachel's extensive list of contacts makes planning much easier.
One look at the grounds should be enough to convince you, but we can also personally vouch for Rachel's helpfulness and kindness.

Lone Wulff Ranch was recommended to us due to our original wedding venue cancelling just 6 months before the wedding. I frantically sent out emails to any venue in our area late th...
at night and we had a walk thru set up at Lone Wulff within a few days. We knew immediately upon stepping on the property we were truly lucky the original venue cancelled. Lone Wulff Ranch was PERFECT in every way possible! From accommodating some of our preplanned vendors to assisting in our vision. We were beyond pleased from the very first interaction to the very last one. Sheri, Rachel and ALL of the staff on site are all around great! Lone Wulff Ranch will forever hold a very special place in our heart, we look forward to being able to host another event on this property! Thanks for everything guys!

We had the wedding of our dream at the Lone Wulff Ranch!!!! Everything went so smoothly and felt like a dream! Getting married under the gorgeous tree, have the most beautiful rece...
ption in the barn and dancing the night away under the string light was magical! We also added the goat package and I couldn't recommend it enough! Goldie the Goat was our ring bearer and our guests were able to feed the other goats during the reception! It was a hilarious experience and a memory we and our guests aren't going to forget.
Rachel was super sweet, helpful and incredibly flexible and just made us feel at home. The bridal suite was incredible and super comfortable. We also booked all of our vendors from their preferred guest list and they were all fantastic. I couldn't recommend enough booking your wedding at the Lone Wulff Ranch enough!!! We just had the BEST time! <3

As another vendor in the area, I have to say this place is incredible. The cost is super affordable and what you receive is above and beyond. After having visited many event locati...
ons, This one has everything you need.
We have filmed a wedding in October which was our first experience with the venue. The ceremony location is stunning. You have a beautiful sunset and added in rustic wildlife.
The Barn is set up in such a way where food and drinks are still a a part of the party but the lines flow so easily and not in the way.
They have gorgeous outdoor seating and multiples places to have your DJ set up. Even in the cold months, they have heaters to keep everyone warm.
But that is not even the best part. It was worth it THEN....and now they have a gorgeous building to get ready in for the big day.
This venue just has so much character and the owner Rachel is hands down the nicest and most accommodating person.
