Dinners of 40 can be hosted in The Sunrise Room, where lanterns hang from the open-beamed ceiling and a turquoise fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere.

The Rose Garden accommodates 50 for intimate gatherings, while The Terrace Ballroom, whose French Doors lead to the Patio, seats 200. At The Hacienda, 200 guests can gather around a pool, while Casa Valencia is best for families. Finally, bridal brunches can be held in The Wine Cave, which hosts 18 in its atmospheric interior.
When you wed at Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa you will have access to The Spa, where you will receive relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. Start your day off with freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices, practice a session of yoga, and then pamper yourself with a manicure and pedicure. You and your guests are also invited to stay overnight in the hotel’s Hacienda-style suites, lovingly dubbed casitas. Here, you can wander together through the olive groves, palm trees, and live oaks that make up this tranquil, exclusive, and exquisite estate.

We loved our wedding at Rancho Valencia. They accommodated our many changes and we had a beautiful, stress-free day
Our wedding planner suggested Rancho Valencia. I am so glad she did! The venue itself is stunning! Beautiful grounds, glorious accommodations, amazing food and drinks and the kindest team members. Riley, in particular, was great ! She took our vision and made it into a reality! She was very accommodating to our requests and all our changes as a result of COVID. We were so happy with how the day turned out :) Thank you Rancho Valencia ! We will be back ! The spa is also AMAZING for any bride/ bridal party wanting to destress/ unwind before the big day!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Rancho Valencia. I worked closely with Niki Ellis, and she was so wonderful, accommodating and helpful. She added little touches to our weekend that was so sweet. When I was working with Lauren from room reservations, we worked together to help book my family and friends in the correct rooms, she was so patient and so helpful. This resort is not only gorgeous, but the food is consistently great. The service was terrific and I'm just so happy I had my wedding here. They really took care of us and made sure everything was successful. I can't wait to come back, and all my guests said the same. Thanks guys!!
You will be delighted with all the things that you DON'T have to do to make a wedding at Rancho Valencia a very special event. Once you select this location you are at least half way home in terms of planning. The resort is able to provide so many services that would otherwise have to be sub-contracted. This being the case, you really do get value for money, even though it may seem expensive at first look. Additionally it is already such a beautiful venue that less is needed for the location makeover than would be true in other places. In fact, all you have to do is make it yours - put your signature stamp on the place. The locations we selected - Sunrise Patio and the Croquet Lawn were already beautiful venues. The staff at Rancho Valencia were most accommodating, organized and responsive. They were good listeners and made every effort to meet our vision and needs. The kitchen did an outstanding job of creating an entirely gluten free meal for 180 people, and the sommelier worked creatively with us to find wines that met our taste and our budget. Our point person was Amber Russom who was unfailingly cheerful, and handled every request with grace and patience. I would highly recommend working with her if you have the option. It was really a pleasure, and I would do it again tomorrow!
