Spring Ranch Mendocino

Our 6 month anniversary is creeping up so this review is obviously long overdue, but I can’t possibly end the year without thanking Spring Ranch and their team for their amazing support and communication through the year in planning for our wedding and weekend stay. We chose this venue for its massive 40-acre property and abundance of magical nature surrounding the two vintage Victorian houses. My partner and I really wanted an outdoor wedding with eucalyptus trees as our ceremony backdrop and well, SR gave us that and more. There aren’t very many venues that can give both that enchanted forest and ocean side feel, but that’s the beauty of the North Coast. The white Victorian house provided ample accommodation for our wedding party and parents while we enjoyed privacy in the red carriage barn before and after the wedding. And only 20 steps away was our ceremony site and reception—like the young Miley once said, it’s the best of both worlds. It saved us time and energy to have everything on site including photo and video opps… just beautiful! Almost all of our vendors (coordinator, rentals, catering, DJ, cake, florist, transportation and bathrooms) had experience working weddings at Spring Ranch so it made it a lot less complicated to have to explain and train them up on the place. The event barn already had two restrooms, but we rented more just because we had a 180-person guest list. The venue can comfortably host around 400 guests, our rentals guy said. We thoroughly enjoyed our venue tour with the owner, Derek Webb, who gave us the history of the barn and space. Spring Ranch’s awesome wedding coordinators Christine & Aubrey provided detailed maps to make it easy for our guests and vendors to get around as well as Victorian house room details for us to pre-assign rooms. Oh and some more pluses: they have a jacuzzi at the Victorian house AND they’re pet friendly! Our two pups, a Sapsali Terrier and CKC Spaniel/Papillon, were able to partake in wedding shenanigans and photos! This made it even more special for us. Only negatives that we’ve shared with the team are: no WiFi/phone service in the ceremony or reception areas and a few rooms in the Victorian house are lacking outlets. Aubrey acknowledged that they’re working on it. ❤️

Spring Ranch is an absolute gem! We are so happy we found it and still reeling about how perfect our weekend was there. We hosted our Friday welcome dinner for 100 guests and Saturday wedding for 160 guests at the Venue. We had our close friends stay on site in the Victorian House, which was a blast. The huge hot tub, grill, full stocked kitchen, and outdoor deck made the house perfect for entertaining. I highly highly recommend Spring Ranch!!

The most magical and amazing venue! We loved being able to host our guests at the same venue all weekend and be able to stay on site. The venue is beautiful, the facilities are recently updated and clean, and the barn is so unique.

This was a really beautiful location, not just for the ceremony and reception; but also for the weekend activities surrounding the wedding. Having a beautiful house on the coast to share with family and friends was such a special opportunity. This was great for us because booking the space didn't come with required vendors. We still had freedom to create the event we wanted to. At the same time, there are a ton of local vendors who are very familiar with the space and what works in it.
