Sunset Ranch Hawaii

stages; when we met her on the day, she was warm, attentive and always had a smile on her face. The location was absolutely stunning with rolling green hills, lush trees and plants, and beautiful horses all around. The food was delicious and plentiful, all served in front of an amazing view of the sun setting across the pastures. It was the perfect for our intimate wedding and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

waii. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and grew up on Oahu and wanted to have our ceremony in nature with local vendors to highlight the beauty of my home state. Sunset Ranch did not disappoint us. We initially had our venue narrowed down to four choices. Of the four, only Sunset Ranch treated us, not as a number, but rather as a happy couple. Greg, the owner was extremely professional (answering our emails and calls promptly) and personable. The mission of the place (local, organic and service) really appealed to me and my husband (we both work in healthcare and have a strong appreciation for giving back to the community). The fact that Sunset Ranch, when not used as wedding venue, is also a place that raises horses and provides therapy to children, really appealed to the two of us. Over the course of a year of preparation for our big day, the staff continued to be very supportive and professional. Leila, our wedding coordinator, treated us as friends, rather than another number. Like Greg, she promptly and professionally returned calls and emails, and both my husband and I felt that the Sunset Ranch staff was there for us in an effort to make our day go as smoothly as possible. We took advantage of the wedding package (which we both highly recommend). The vendors were fantastic, and the packages offer the most options for the greatest price. The wedding day went very smoothly thanks in no small part to Leila and her staff. Even after the wedding, we were sent a congratulatory follow-up email the following week. If you are looking for a beautiful venue, with a wonderful supportive staff, with wonderful local vendors, I highly recommend Sunset Ranch as a place to have your wedding!

was super stressful for me, Greg made sure to let me know that he and Sunset Ranch would not be something I had to worry about. Every email I sent was responded to extremely quickly. They were one of the easiest companies to work with for our wedding. The ranch itself is gorgeous. It feels as if you and your guests are the only people on the island. Carina, the events manager, was extremely responsive and absolutely wonderful on our wedding day. We had a combined Indian/Christian wedding, which was a new experience for Sunset Ranch, but at no point did they seem flustered or hesitant with anything we threw at them. We used two of their horses in the pre-ceremony rituals and Carina was great about working with us. They even decorated our horse's bridles with flowers for the big day! The weather was also spectacular; early September (when it could be very hot) and it was breezy, cool, with some clouds to cover the strong sun in the afternoon. Bottom line: we had the best day we possibly could, and Sunset Ranch was a huge part of that. I would recommend them to anyone.

horses, and the steady breeze. The grounds are expansive and you can choose from several different sites to hold your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Greg, the owner, gave us our initial tour. He was in no rush and was very genuine, personable, and truly cared about the in-depth history of the property. We decided to go with the 30 day coordination that they offer, and we're really glad we did. Our coordinator was Leila and, like Greg, you could tell that she wanted to give us the best experience possible. Even though we chose 30 day coordination, she was there every step of the way and was very easy to get in contact with, whether by phone, email or text message. She was good at answering our questions and offering suggestions based on our needs and budget. Thanks to her planning, the wedding day was perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Sunset Ranch to anyone who is wanting to get married in Hawaii. We would do it over again in a heartbeat!

ndled everything so perfectly and made sure we weren't stressed on the big day. The entire staff from caterers to waitstaff were so polite and great at their jobs. Greg, the owner, is quick to respond to questions and accomodating for changes to the contract. We did the all inclusive package which saved me a lot of headache. All the vendors chosen who work with SR are fantastic (Chef Elmer and Mimosa Bake Shoppe - ugh so good). Overall, we couldn't have chosen a more wonderful venue or more wonderful staff for our wedding day. Thank you so much SR!!

most beautiful weddings they had ever been to! We decided to do a package deal. I am so incredibly thankful we chose this option. Leila, our coordinator, was so helpful. My wedding was gorgeous and she made the planning process so much easier. We chose to have lawn games and people loved the activities! The food was with Chef Elmer (who works with their package deals), and it was so ono!This venue is is absolutely stunning and we highly recommend It!

st knew that we would have our wedding there. The views, the staff, the landscape are so beyond amazing. I cannot speak highly enough about Carina, Greg, and the rest of the Sunset Ranch staff. They are so professional, yet make you feel like family, and want to help you feel at ease with the entire wedding planning process. Carina was so responsive to all of my questions and concerns and so friendly! She was a joy to work with. She is great at her job and her attention to detail is exactly what you need on your wedding day. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony in the Fern Garden and our reception at Charlie’s Pond. The Fern Garden provided plenty of shade for our guests and we had an amazing sunset for dinner. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the cool breeze and perfect weather. The view, the location, the staff, the land, is just so perfect for a wedding. We had the most amazing day and our guests were over the moon. I would highly recommend Sunset Ranch to anyone planning an event in Hawaii!

those typical all-inclusive hotel weddings and that's definitely not what I wanted! I love Hawaii specifically for its beautiful landscapes and spectacular sunsets and I wanted to make sure I got that when I picked a venue. In comes Sunset Ranch! Wow! I mean I knew it was going to be beautiful just from the few photos/videos I stalked on their website, Instagram and youtube but when you get there and you see it in person, it's a whole different level! Match that with the great staff and kind owner and you literally have the perfect venue! I am so glad I found Sunset Ranch and had the most magical wedding ever.

joyable from day one. We had our ceremony in Ferns Garden and reception in the Stables, and they were both GORGEOUS. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a unique, beautiful, and memorable wedding.

zoo and a ranch tour at your wedding?! Not to mention, you can't beat (or pay) for those views. Did I mention that we also got to plant a native Hawaiian Koa Tree as part of our experience? The most important part of this experience was working with Greg and Carina. I do not have enough wonderful things to say about the both of them. Since you are planning one of the most stressful events of your life, it is nice to know that you have the right support to help get you to the end of that finish line. Carina was there from beginning to end of this experience. She is so good at what she does that she immediately puts you at ease. I can honestly tell you now that I sent a few pictures of what I envisions for my wedding via Pinterest and she magically turned the night into a personalized experience that was inspired by those images. Who else can do something like that but a professional and expert?! We knew the minute we walked on the property that this was our place we would start forever. I hope you will find that out for yourselves when you visit.

amazing reviews, but I can tell you there was nothing better than seeing it for the first time and being absolutely blown away. The property is gorgeous and the team at Sunset Ranch were amazing to work with until the very end of our event.

lpful on the day. The whole day was special, stress free and most importantly very enjoyable for us because we knew everything was incredibly well organised.

our wedding planner through Sunset Ranch. We got the package deal, which I would highly recommend, that includes many details such as your own wedding coordinator, florals, mostly all the rentals, some live music, bar service, cake, dinner catering, and set-up/decorations. Some advice regarding the package -- make sure you inquire as to what is included/what isn't included. While it does cover a ton of stuff, things not included are DJ, live musicians during reception, alcohol (you buy your own, but they provide the staffing/bartenders) and certain rentals like extra draping. As far as florals & food go...there are many different menu options, but only one is already budgeted in the package. You can ask Greg the exact dollar amounts that are allocated to each area...which helped me out a lot. There are so many details that go into a single wedding, that it is SO helpful to have that extra help with your own coordinator like Leila. Our wedding was hands-down the best day of my life so far, and largely that was because of the help that Leila & her crew provided. My only concern about Sunset Ranch is that I hope they pay their staff as much as they deserve!! :)

our wedding coordinator really ensured that it went as smoothly as possible. We could not have done it without her. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and made our vision come alive.

s for wedding coordinators. If it wasn't for Dania, our vision for our wedding would probably be a colorful mess. She did a great job making our vision a reality. There aren't enough words to describe how much we absolutely loved Sunset Ranch or show enough gratitude for the team behind our unforgettable wedding day.

only blessed with a gorgeous sunset on our wedding day, but also with a top-notch group of people who took care of us and our guests. Our wedding coordinator Carina Cooper was knowledgeable, calm, reassuring, and extremely professional. Would surely recommend to any future bride and groom!

Hawaii previously and said it was her favorite venue on Oahu. We trusted her judgement and booked the venue without seeing it. We made a trip to the venue a few months later and once we saw it we couldn't believe how perfect it was. It is the most beautiful spot and a perfect wedding venue. The views and sunsets are phenomenal. Mark and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Carina (wedding planner), Greg (owner), and everyone at Sunset Ranch. Carina and Greg were extremely professional and provided the best customer service. Carina provided us with a full list of their preferred vendors and gave great advice as to which vendors would suit our requirements the best. Everyone went above and beyond. The wonderful feedback from friends and family on how amazing Sunset Ranch is, hasn't stopped. We are hoping that we can have another event there soon.

questions we had and even gave us a site tour. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any event, but especially for a wedding.

ie's Pond but with a tropical storm headed our way we were so happy to have the option to move into the barn, even though we lucked out on the weather anyway! It was beautiful all day at Sunset Ranch while it stormed on the other side of the island. Our photos turned out awesome because the beauty of this location is such a great backdrop. Thank you to Greg and the team at Sunset Ranch who helped make it all possible!

are very helpful and professional. Although it might be far from Waikiki and the international airport it is worth the trip for the guests, everyone loved the escape from the touristy areas and to be up in the hills of Sunset Ranch. We would definitely recommend other couples to see Sunset Ranch for themselves.

not even know about it. We did have a huge Hawaiian "blessing" (rain) that day but it made it even more special. Sunset Ranch staff was very good about moving everyone around and it ended being actually even more intimate. When the rain stopped, it cleared up nicely and everyone was able to take pictures. It was a beautiful day and we will remember it forever!

nd Carina, the wedding coordinator, were very helpful and responsive in all our needs. Their recommended vendors were fabulous and brought our vision to life. I HIGHLY recommend Sunset Ranch Hawaii and their wedding package option for your special day!

rose on the day of. I recommend adding on their coordination services and using their preferred vendors list as they know what they are doing! I couldn't be happier!

Their staff and all the vendors were a joy to work with and everything turned out better than we could have imagined. The barn was completely transformed to the elegant, town & country look we were hoping for. The oversized chandeliers created such a romantic environment and the florals were perfection. The entire day was a dream come true! Thank you!

n the beautiful and serene north shore. We appreciated the Bride and Groom suites that made getting prepared for our wedding on site a huge plus. I personally can tell you that the team at Sunset Ranch looked after us as family and we are forever grateful for their support on our special day. Great location, Great People. I highly recommend Sunset Ranch for any event you may be considering.

all our requests! I give my highest recommendation to Sunset Ranch!

nstead used our own vendor for the day of. Shaunnas attitude seemed to vary between helpful and other times inconvenienced. At times there were offers for help via email which were then never followed up on. I can understand this, as we didn’t pay for the coordination services, but the offer should have never been made. Finally there was a large miscommunication regarding my parents and vendors visiting the ranch to view the stables (I live on the mainland), only to discover the stables were not available for viewing. I acknowledge they showed up 15 mins late, but they were also driving over an hour to get there, so I didn’t understand why such a short time frame would be available. If this was the case, we would have at least liked to know our time constraints. Being that so many people made an effort to view the venue that day, I was upset, and spoke with Greg, the owner of the ranch. Greg was responsive and very apologetic. Moving forward I worked with Carina, including on the day of. She was responsive and amazing to work with. Her attitude was laid back yet professional which made the day go smoothly. We also used their horse Huey for pictures, he is so calm and was the perfect model for pictures. The only other downside I would say is the fact that everything has to be brought it. I was not interested in a hotel/banquet wedding, so I would do this all over again. But be prepared to be extremely organized because you (or your hired coordinator) need to plan for everything down to the last fork! Overall our wedding was amazing and we would choose this venue again despite our initial setbacks, it truly is BEAUTIFUL.

'd book now. Why? I grew up in Hawaii. To date, Sunset Ranch is still somewhat of a secret. I imagine prices could up as demand may sky rocket. Finally, their wedding planners are second to none. I cannot sing praises loud enough for Carina, our Sunset Ranch planner. Here attention to detail, anticipation of needs and execution were outstanding. Beyond the nuts and bolts, her kind demeanor is a pleasure to be around. Finally, don't forget Huey, Sunset Ranch's majestic, enormous and gentle white horse who can grace your pictures with his elegance.

untain. I figured I couldn't go wrong with celebrating my wedding on a mountain in Hawaii, dancing under the stars with my nearest and dearest who had flown across the planet to be a part of such a special event but the total opposite happened when I realized the music could only be as loud as elevator music. The coordinator showed me text messages from the owner who was getting angry messages from neighbors miles away from the venue complaining about the noise... the owner even threatened to shout down the event if we didn't lower the music (which was ridiculously low to begin with) unfortunately, this was such a downer on the whole event. A wedding is a celebration that my guests and I were unable to enjoy the way we thought we would be able to... If I could do this again, I would look into the sound restrictions further and would choose a different venue, where we can all really enjoy ourselves without all the unnecessary restrictions... Any wedding venue should anticipate loud music or consider not offering their ranch for such events...

wedding day fell between TWO HUGE hurricanes, Iselle and Julio. The staff at Sunset Ranch was extremely helpful and accommodating. While I was unable to set the reception tent up outdoors, Sunset Ranch helped us to draw up new plans to have the reception in the barn. Although I was hesitant about this idea at first, my carnival wedding turned into the most spectacular BARNival I have ever seen. No one knew that the barn was actually a barn. The chandeliers that Sunset Ranch put up in the barn were so elegant and fun! We still had our ceremony outdoors in front of the large pond. The photos in this location, with the property of the ranch in the background, are truly magical.

be stressful, but it was totally the opposite. Carina and the team made it so stress free, and was full of fantastic advice about the day. I honestly wouldn't recommend anywhere else. It's such a hidden gem! Ps- I recommend getting the chandelier in the tree at your reception- just beautiful!

tes for the groom and his party and me (bride) and my party, and the genuine feel. Most places on Oahu feel more like a wedding factory were they rush you in and rush you out, but not Sunset Ranch. Our guests could not get over the beauty of the landscape. It is quite a long drive depending on your location so make your guests happy and safe and provide transportation. Sunset Ranch's staff was a huge help and provided lots of tips and vendor recommendations. Seriously, you cannot go wrong by picking this place.

The staff was great, friendly and very pleasant. The guests were raving about how beautiful and well kept it was and once we decorated the ranch, the ambiance was perfect for a rustic themed wedding.

us. Excellent venue.

ve a fantastic staff and really appreciate everything. Happy Holidays!

e still had a blast though, and it was still beautiful. Our family and friends are still telling us what an amazing time they had and how gorgeous everything was. Mahalo nui loa to Sunset Ranch for making our big day even more special.

us sky as the sun set. Our guests felt so relaxed and in awe of the scenery - they wouldn't stop taking pictures! The service was great, they were so flexible & willing to help if we had any special preferences or requests. As I was planning a wedding from Australia, I was hesitant about what the location would actually look like, compared to the pictures on their website. I was so impressed the first time arrived - the pictures don't do it justice! I highly recommend this venue - it's beauty stands on its own, but the service provided was exceptional!

na (WONDERFUL!). I would recommend her and the venue to anyone!!!

(with the large tree) provided us with the absolute best ceremony venue. It was just so romantic and it provides the most beautiful backdrop for photos and ceremony decor. We hung cadiz shell lanterns, tulle and leis from the branches and (although we are biased), our ceremony turned out to be even more beautiful than what I envisioned. Fern's Garden proved to be a perfect spot for cocktail hour as it was shaded, has a fabulous view of Waimea Valley and it provides a nice change of scenery for guests after the ceremony. Sunset Vista was the perfect choice for us to host our reception under a clear top tent. The stars out on the North Shore are amazing (so many guests commented on it!), and having a clear top tent to enjoy the view is SO worthwhile. In short, Sunset Ranch is unique. There are beautiful hotels and resorts on Oahu and each one has something different to offer. However, as a couple, we hoped to differentiate our wedding from the others and make it memorable for both us and our guests. Sunset Ranch allowed us to have a wedding that we could customize EXACTLY to our taste, and I will always remember just how unique and beautiful it was because of this fact. Our videographers sincerely commented that our wedding was one of the most unique and beautiful that they have ever attended. We received thank you letters from our guests (before we were even able to send out OUR thank you notes), letting us know that they had never attended such a fantastic and lovely wedding. We were truly touched and it confirmed for us that we had made the BEST decision to choose Sunset Ranch for our special day. Jessica, our wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing. Without her help and hard work, we wouldn't have been able to plan such an elaborate and detailed wedding. It is such an advantage to have a coodinator who is actually working at Sunset Ranch. With her prior experience in coordinating weddings at Sunset Ranch, she had an answer to EVERY question we had, a solution to every problem, and she was just so efficient. We would delegate tasks between us (bride and groom) and Jessica, and she would accomplish each task without fail. Last but not least, Jessica is a wonderful person at heart and she exudes a positivity that is just so uplifting.

ot a typical destination wedding on the beach or in a busy hotel. The staff and Greg are all great and they really make sure you get all the help you need. I loved how quickly they responded to my emails and made sure my questions and concerns were taken care of. I highly recommend Sunset Ranch!

not all was arranged by the staff there by using their package deal. Overall it was a good value for what we got & it was a perfect, memorable, beautiful day!

use of the venue's all-day availability, guest suites for the wedding party to get ready in, existing partnerships with tent/table rentals and catering, the owner and staff's impressive responsiveness to our questions. Not to mention the ranch's sheer natural beauty on the mountain with stunning ocean and forest views. We had an outdoor ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour with lawn games and an outdoor photo "booth", and finally our reception in a tent up close to the house. Phone calls and emails between the ranch's owner Greg and wedding coordinator Dania were always professional, timely, and helpful. We truly felt the staff was working to make our big day the best possible as they went over and beyond what we expected. Thank you Sunset Ranch for an unforgettable day -- we hope to attend other weddings and events there in the future!

planning process was not only easy, but timely, friendly and clear. The setting is breathtaking-open, clean air, romantic and with a charm that can not be adequately described in words. Every single guest that was at our wedding was surprised and in awe of how vast of a space, peaceful, gorgeous and natural the setting was, especially tucked away on the mountain in Pupukea with a view of the ocean. I had envisioned being married outdoors, under a tree and hopefully on a ranch but never knew we would be able to find a place also with ocean views, a working barn, horses to borrow for pictures, a home with use of the lanai, a pond with a bridge and an outdoor dirt path that wove through tall trees with giant monsterra leaves (my favorite leaf). Sunset Ranch gave us a venue far beyond what we could've imagined. It really was the total package. I was also VERY impressed that during our first visit, we were able to meet with the owner Greg, who gave us a thorough tour of the grounds and a great history about the land, which his grandfather purchased decades ago, in honor of preserving the land on the North Shore. Sunset Ranch continues to dedicate itself to land preservation (malama aina!) while still keeping it open and a resource for the public. (Look up the You Tube Video. I did before I contacted them and it definitely made me want to support the ranch just as much as I wanted to have our wedding there!) Words really can't describe the energy and mana at Sunset Ranch. If you are looking for the perfect outdoor space for any event, I would HIGHLY and without reservation recommend Sunset Ranch. We could not have dreamt up a more perfect place, all with a great history, mission and staff to go along with :) Aloha.

walked across the front row during the ceremony. Such a memorable place. I highly recommend hiring their on-site coordinator. She kept us smiling and relaxed on the big day.

ever want an outdoor/barn wedding, check this place out! You wont be sorry.

the ranch were all so friendly and supportive, (special thanks to Greg and Danya). I'm so glad we choose Sunset Ranch for this special day and will treasure the memory.

! Definitely recommend this site. Madelyn & Thomas

typical Hawaii beach wedding. Sunset Ranch is a hidden gem on the North Shore of Oahu. Our guests were totally impressed with the views and ambiance of the location. As a bride, my first concern was that I also didn't want a "ranch" wedding. However, my coordinator told me to have an open mind and I'm glad she did! Sunset Ranch is not your typical ranch--horses everywhere, bugs flying all over, smell of manure--but rather a very classy venue. I was shocked at how it didn't smell like horses :). Greg was also very accommodating and efficient. He answered all of my questions professionally and in a very timely manner. You can tell he has a great heart and genuinely cares about your event. We would totally recommend Sunset Ranch to other couples. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!!!

odating. They literally went out of their way to make sure that the wedding we were planning was going to be a success and that there wouldn't be any problems day of. I am glad that they were on top of everything, and pointed out things we missed along the way. Besides the awesome customer service at Sunset Ranch some of the most memorable moments were the gorgeous sunset during cocktail hour and the cutest peacock that greeted guests during the reception!

I chose to have my ceremony under this big tree, it provided the perfect backdrop to my ceremony. My guest then went to the lawn in front of the ranch house for cocktails, then had dinner under a tent on the lawn. Sunset Ranch even has a barn that can be used for a reception site it you don't want to rent a tent. I would recommend anyone who would like an outdoor wedding on Oahu that is not a beach to go and check out Sunset Ranch. Greg the owner was really easy to work with and replied promptly to my emails. Parking for your guest is not a problem and they have a great trailer bathroom for your guest.

r Nature surrounding you, and breathtaking sunsets. Our guests enjoyed taking pictures to capture the incredible sunset! Our wedding had a romantic rustic wedding theme and this venue fit perfectly! There is even a working barn where you can hold your event. We used it as a nice backdrop for photos and as a part of our wedding video. The huge tree was where our wedding ceremony was held. It is such a beautiful backdrop that it needs no major decorations. We kept it sweet and simple and it was honestly, even more lovely than I had envisioned. It was my dream to have an outdoor wedding and after much searching, my girlfriend luckily found sunset ranch! It was difficult to find a venue that could accommodate the parking needed for very large parties. I loved that they had enough space for my 200 guests, no problem! An added plus was that we were able to have the facility to ourselves all day, with no other events going on nearby. Another wonderful aspect is that Greg Pietsch (Owner) and his excellent staff were so accommodating, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process! They went above and beyond to make our big day extra special for us. We even rented a horse through the sunset ranch to use for our “first look” last minute and it worked out great! I emailed greg a lot and he always responded right away. He is so professional. He is such a nice, good-hearted guy who cares about his clients, like family. Dania, who took us on our first and last site visit was so welcoming, knowledgeable and helped us a lot with envisioning the event with the many options the sunset ranch offers. Christine was the person in charge on the day of, and she did a great job making sure everything went smoothly. She even took some gorgeous photos of our wedding, and shared it with us! All our guests were so impressed with the sunset ranch. It made for such a memorable event and everything came together so nicely with all our awesome vendors and décor. Also, the sunset ranch has so many nice photo op areas on property. Our wedding photos look amazing because of it! We rented a cottage at the turtle bay and a lot of our friends rented rooms there too or beach houses on the north shore and made a weekend out of it! It was a nice little get away! Overall, we highly recommend the sunset ranch to any wedding couple looking for a venue. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, fun-filled, and perfect wedding, thanks to the sunset ranch ☺ xoxo

thing I didn’t care for about the hotels was I didn’t want tourists to be rubbernecking on my wedding day. Personally, I think a wedding is a private, intimate time, not a time to look up and notice people watching from their lanais or people walking through the ceremony in their bathing suits, stopping by to have a listen. That’s when I found Sunset Ranch. It’s out of the way, which I was a little concerned for the local guests because I thought it might be inconvenient for them to come, but it was not a problem, no one complained and everyone attended. Then there was Greg. He’s wonderful. From the first time communicating with him to the last he was always extremely gracious, responsive, and genuinely cared that our day was all that we wanted. It was just a beautiful, perfect, place to transform into what we envisioned for our wedding. I don’t see how anyone could be unhappy here.

nt to wow your guests with lush views, breath taking scenery, and a day or night to remember then Sunset Ranch is the pick. I'm so glad that I decided to have Sunset Ranch as my venue. The people are easy to work with and very accommodating. Quick on the emails and phone calls and very helpful when working with you. From the ceremony, to taking pics, and reception there is no better place. An all in one package deal. Don't let the distance from town discourage you as a bride, if you plan it people will come. Thank you Sunset Ranch, it was a wedding my family and friends can't stop talking about. I really appreciate all that you've done. Good luck on helping brides capture the moment.

you want to do, and where you want to hold (the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception) with so much space to do it. As a wedding planner, I work with many venues and was impressed by the promptness of emails when questions were asked. They were flexible and accommodating to my clients and were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I hope to do another wedding here soon!

ional chapel weddings and Waikiki receptions and exactly what we were looking for. The views are amazing! The ocean and mountain views were the perfect backdrop and the sunset on the night of our wedding was so amazing that our guests left our program to take pictures of the view! The multiple areas to use on the Ranch was great and it allowed us to have such great photos with different backdrops. We were even set up with one of the horses on property to take pictures with...amazing! Our experience with the owner, Greg was exceptional. He was extremely helpful and accommodating and made the process surprisingly simple by providing us with everything we needed and more. He had such a genuine interest to help us and went as far as putting me in touch with the bride who was having her wedding the day after us, to see if we could use the same vendors to save on cost. Talk about going the extra mile! Coordinators Corrine and Aaron were also such a pleasure to work with. The day of our wedding, Aaron was with us from beginning to end, assisting us with setup, cleanup and everything in between. Magical Ranch, stunning views, genuine people - the perfect venue and experience for a wedding or any event!

d gladly select Sunset again; for life's most significant events. Albeit a wedding, celebration of doctoral award or passing a professional exam (bar, CPA, CFP). Selecting the location from SC - without having conducted a site review or walk thru (ony my part) was of no concern. My daughter was familiar with the location and I trusted/trust her judgment. Gregg - thank you immensely to you & your staff...for a tremendous job...well-done! You made a unique and special day...easy. The deposit and final payment timeline is spot on. It was a pleasure--to meetg you and work with your staff. If I had another daughter...I'd recommend the same location...and wouldn't change a thing. GOD Bless.

rtnership do first rate work. All my guests are still raving about the wedding. It was such a terrific night and Sunset Ranch had sooo much to do with it. I would suggest this vendor to anyone contemplating a wedding location. There's no way you'd regret the decision.

ompany honorably and kindly resolved. If we were to marry again, we would do it here in a heartbeat!

ionate about the preservation of the area which makes the place even more special. I could go on forever about all the amazing things about Sunset Ranch I highly recommend it.

sland of the Big Island. When my fiancee and I made a site visit around a year before our wedding date, we fell in love with the location. The expansive property had everything we wanted, sites to hold our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and lots of space to set up lawn games. Throughout the year, the ranch owner and staff were very courteous and always responded in a timely fashion. Our big day finally came, and it was everything that I imagined. We were able to get ready on site which saved us lots of time and money (didn't need a hotel room just to get ready). Our guests were wowed with the tranquil beauty of their surroundings. Many of them said they never imagined such a site existed on Oahu. Also, they loved that the reception was in the barn. We were able to stay in one of their awesome guest suites overnight. All in all, both my husband and I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a beautiful, country-style wedding. We hope to go back and celebrate our Anniversary one day.

ew high up above overlooking the ocean on green lush grass. It's really just amazing. I booked Sunset Ranch site unseen. Being from California I was hesitant to book a place that I didn't see. I emailed Greg and he responded to us very quickly. I had a number of questions and he answered all of them not missing one. The ranch is just gorgeous. I knew the ranch was perfect from the pictures I've seen on the website. I also had other vendors that had events there before and they mentioned that I would not be disappointed. Greg was also one of the main reasons I booked this place. He was very easy to work with, he answered all my emails, and offerred full use of the venue. If you're looking for a place to have your ceremony/reception and want someone who will coordinate with you in a friendly yet professional manner Sunset Ranch is the place to go! Beautiful place and wonderful people. I am so glad we booked this place. My family from Hawaii wasn't aware of the ranch and they said they're even saving up to do vow renewals there. =) Sunset Ranch and the staff made my wedding day spectacular. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the place is. Thank you Greg and Sunset Ranch!

always wanted a place where I would not hear any police or ambulance sirens). This beautiful 30+ acre ranch is tucked away at the very top of Pupukea and over looks all of Haliewa, Waimea, Sunset beach, and Kaena point... so no sirens here! Its beauty is beyond words, and this is coming from someone who lives in Hawaii. If you really want a venue that will impress all your guests, look no further. Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE comments on the beauty and uniqueness of this pristine ranch. Greg, the owner of the ranch, LOVES his couples and was very accommodating to our needs and requests. He honestly wants your day to be beautiful, and special, you are not just another client. Also, our videographers, and photographers loved this venue, and had a blast shooting us there... Our sunset pictures are AMAZING because of this venue! Thank you Greg for all that you have done to make this day so very special and memorable, not only for us, but for our guests as well!

w the owner has set up the land for conservation and and for various sustainability projects. They were flexible and helpful in allowing us to come on the property several times leading up to the wedding to envision decorations, to hold the wedding rehearsal, and to have tents set up early. While the venue is pricey, I felt it was well worth the money we paid. Greg, the owner, was very prompt, friendly and professional in all my phone and email communications with him. A real pleasure to work with. The only reason I did not give them a 5 on responsiveness was because there was a switch in site coordinators between when I first booked the site and when we had the wedding. The new coordinator was still getting up to speed, but the owner was incredibly helpful when there were any small snags.

ng and flexible when it came to my husband's military schedule and helped recommend several of the vendors we used, many of them at special rates. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the ranch was and how stress free and laid back our day was. Our goal for our wedding day to pay homage to and share with our guests what is so amazing about the North Shore and Sunset Ranch helped us do just that. Not to mention, the ranch is very well maintained and the guest suites and bathrooms were immaculate! In the end, the wedding was a perfect day and my husband and I both truly appreciate the opportunity to work with such an amazing venue... it would not have been the same anywhere else!

ooth and reliable. Everyone responded quickly to my emails and phone calls and were completely flexible with my ideas and plans, offering advice and opinions when I needed them. I would highly recommend the eanch to anyone looking for a venue for their event. Our wedding guests all came away talking about the grounds, the awesome bathrooms, and the incredible sunset! Sunset Ranch is spectacular!

d my wedding from Alaska, not having ever seen the venue until the day before the wedding. It is absolutely amazing. The guest suites to get ready in are beautiful and comfortable. The views from the property are outstanding. The best thing about the venue is the option of so many different locations to take photos and set up for a ceremony and/or reception to make your day truely special. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding in Hawaii. Thank you Sunset Ranch!!!!

n wedding. Other venues and vendors were slow to return my emails and calls but the staff at Sunset Ranch really surprised me with quick responses every time I had a question. When we got to the Ranch the day before the wedding, the on-site contact Aaron, met with us and walked us through everything we needed to know. He was incredible! Aaron got us everything we needed, had wonderful suggestions and really helped our wedding go smoothly. Having him there to take care of our needs was invaluable. I would give Sunset Ranch 10 stars if I could. I can't recommend Sunset Ranch enough. It had everything that I was looking for: privacy, beautiful scenery, and fantastic customer service.

there and saw this beautiful place, and how nice and easy going the staff was, I knew it was the perfect location for our special day! This is one of the most beautiful paces I have ever been to. We also stayed on the ranch for 2 nights. It is a whole other world up there, the ocean view on one side and a rain forest view on the other. It was perfect! Greg, Corinne, and Aaron are the sweetest people, and made everything so easy for us. Aaron went above and beyond the whole day of our wedding. Thank you

s in Hawaii thanks to my previous job but I've never worked with a better group of people who will do everything they can to make your special day the best it could possibly be. My wife and I had the opportunity to not just get married there but thanks to the staff I was able to propose to her there and have our rehearsal dinner on the grounds as well. Our entire wedding story involves Sunset Ranch and we recommend them for any event that you could be planning. We had our ceremony in the field in front of the house and next to the pond and then our reception in the stables. It was a lot of work to setup but my wife loved every minute and our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Big thanks to the staff at Sunset Ranch for making all of it possible.
