McCormick Home Ranch

for. Sally is so nice and helpful and owns a ton of wonderful decor items available for rent (i.e., wheelbarrels, string lights, etc.). I highly recommend!

An abundance of lovely flowers, and twinkle lights peeking from the trees sold me instantly! The proprietor, Sally, really has an eye for creating the stage for a beautiful outdoor wedding. Reasonable prices, quick & easy meetings, and the do-it yourself flexibility of this venue (in terms of bringing in your own vendors) added to its charm!

a hidden gem and it is absolutely beautiful if you like the whimsical rustic look! There are a ton of different places to take pictures and everyone at our wedding was in awe of how beautiful it was. Pictures do not do it justice you have to see it in person. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is for three reasons: 1. There is no wedding coordinator included in the cost of the venue so you must do it all yourself, which has pros and cons. 2. The restrooms are port-o-potty's, they are nice but still. 3. On the day of the wedding there was some miscommunication with the owner of the venue and she was not as accomodating as we felt she should been. I think she was just overwhelmed because the weekend we got married there were 2 other weddings and she had no other help. If you are looking for a wedding venue that is simple and quaint and totally magical I would absolutely recommend this place. We still have friends and family telling us how beautiful it was. Sally was really great and easy going almost the whole time and is very available for you to get into contact with. It is a beautiful venue and made our wedding truly one-of-a-kind and SOO special.

p, but she was great and was able to get things figured out in plenty of time.

the venue) to get ideas. To say her property is lovely is an understatement. It is so gorgeous that you don't really need a whole lot, if anything, to add to the floral decor. If you are looking for an outdoor venue, you will see none like this one! My husband and I looked all over. We got so many compliments. Many people told us it was the prettiest wedding they had ever been to. Sally also lets you rent everything through her, which makes things very easy. You don't have to rent from her if you don't want to. Also, you bring in all of your other vendors, which was nice! If you are into the vintage look, she has tons of options to choose from. You can also rent tables, chairs, and even linens from her of all colors. I highly recommend this venue as it is gorgeous and Sally is the best! As a side note, there is also a bride and groom cottage to get ready in; they both are adorable!! I can't stop looking at all of my photos from our wedding. I couldn't ask for a prettier place!

t parts of the garden. All my coordinating for ranch rentals were done with the ranch owner, Sally McCormick. I was a little skeptical through the planning process because she seemed absent minded, however, on the day of the event everything that she promised was there and looked AMAZING!!. There were a few extra charges that we had to ensue due to the location. The place gets really dark at night so we rented 4 strands of string lights which added up to approx. $600. Also, I was not happy with the bathroom facilities available at the ranch. She has single stall porta-potties that get changed out before each event. I was not comfortable having women in long evening gowns using the porta-potties. We ended up renting "luxurious bathroom suites" that were ridiculously over-kill, but so much better than what was available. After everything was said and done I did not mind having those extra costs because when you are planning a wedding or any big event things are always going to come up. Sally was very accomodating in allowing us to visit the ranch whenever we needed. She has a lot of unique "furniture" available to rent. She does all the set up and was very prompt in returning our security deposit. It is over a month past our wedding and family and friends are still calling/emailing to let us know how "beautiful the site was", and that our wedding "looked like a fairy-tale". We are VERY VERY happy with everything about McCormick Home Ranch!

I love her! The place is big enough for large weddings and yet cozy for small ones. Plus is dog friendly. The best price I found for my low budget wedding. I will always recommend this venue. It is Fabulous!

d. At McCormick you can pick your vendors and save money. Sally McCormick is SO nice and easy to get a hold of. She was very helpful and so generous to let us use her home for our wedding. Everyone thought it was beautiful and we had a great time there!

ur special day. We used the site for our cerermony and the reception for 200 people. It was the most romantic and FUN wedding. A real dream come true!

garden area that birds chirp and butterflies fly. The reception area is just as gorgous. The guest tables are setup on the beautiful lawn where you are surrounded by large trees, flowers and the historic ranch house itself. The setting it truly magical.;The one thing that we would warn other couples about is that due to the County of Ventura, the McCormick Ranch had to stop using their private bathrooms. We had already booked the venue when we later were informed. Sally told us that we would have something similar (to normal bathrooms), but what we got...were porta-potties. It was a major disapointment, but it didn't ruin the day by any means.
