McFarland Ranch's event rental site is situated on the open fields adjacent to the historic ranch house. Surrounded by leafy oak trees and stunning panoramic views, it is a versatile and idyllic outdoor space that can accommodate up to 300 guests. The ranch house boasts a beautiful turn-of-the-century charm and can be used as extra space for your wedding. The wrap-around porch can act as a raised stage that faces the sprawling lawn. Your wedding band or DJ can set up here while guests dance the night away under the stars.

McFarland Ranch offers couples a customizable space that can accommodate any vision or budget. The property is a blank canvas for your celebration that can be decorated and set up to suit your specifications. The Galt Area Historical Society maintains the ranch, and you'll find many incredible historic features on the property that make for great photo opportunities, such as period buildings and windmills. Their team can also provide a gazebo to set up over the outdoor event space in case of inclement weather. McFarland Ranch's dedicated team will work tirelessly to ensure your celebration is just as you envisioned.

Beautiful and spacious. Great communication. Keep in mind that you have to be in and out the same day though so that can make it tough.
