Tar Creek Ranch

We are still in awe of the incredible experience we had at Tar Creek Ranch for our wedding! If you're dreaming of a rustic, barn-style wedding with elegance and charm, this is the place. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is a beautiful blend of rustic and romantic. The barn exudes character with its wooden beams, open space, and warm, inviting atmosphere. We loved how the space felt both intimate and expansive—perfect for creating the cozy, laid-back vibe we envisioned, while still providing room for all of our guests to dance the night away. The outdoor pavilion was also a wonderful space for our first dance and outdoor dining. The pavilion features a large tent with a clear top and sides, allowing guests to enjoy the beautiful sunset while savoring their meal. In addition, the ranch house was a lovely space for my bridal party to stay and get ready for the day. The house offers amazing natural light and plenty of space for all of your guests. The team at Tar Creek Ranch made the entire planning process seamless. From the moment we toured the venue to the last dance of the night, the staff was incredibly supportive, professional, and detail-oriented. They helped us bring our vision to life, whether it was coordinating the timeline, offering decor ideas, or ensuring everything went off without a hitch. On the wedding day, they handled everything with ease and grace, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the venue was! From the beautiful barn to the cocktail area and the pavilion, it truly provided the perfect setting for a memorable celebration. If you're considering a Central Coast wedding, Tar Creek Ranch is hands down the place to be. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance, and the team is incredibly dedicated to making your day unforgettable. We're extremely grateful to have celebrated our love in such a beautiful place and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable wedding venue!

As the owner and lead coordinator of Kreative Details by KD, I've had the pleasure of partnering with Matthew & Holly (owner & manager) on multiple occasions; they are quick to communicate, easy to work with, and are just simply amazing. Our Kreative Details team absolutely loves Tar Creek Ranch and we are excited whenever a couple decides to book their wedding there. Surrounded by hills and open fields, the venue is quiet, peaceful, and private. The ranch's beautiful indoor and outdoor options allow for a variety of different wedding styles and photo locations. The barn's fabulous lighting, custom metal work, and built in bar offer a great space to entertain. Tar Creek has both luxury accommodations and space which is a rare find. The Central Coast is lucky to have this venue!

My (now) wife and I just got married here over the weekend. Coming from LA, we weren't very familiar with the area, but now the central coast and AG hold a special place in our heart. Matthew the owner and Holly the venue manager are so easy to work with. We told them what we were looking for in a venue and they checked all our boxes. We absolutely love the property and our guests were so impressed wondering how we even found the place. The propane fire pits are large and fully inflamed at night, perfect for our elderly family members that get cold easily. The two-way bar is so much fun and keeps your cocktail hour and reception so concise. Our bartender said it's one of their favorite bars to work at. The inside of the barn is absolutely stunning and we love having the option to do the reception dinner inside or outside. The ranch house was the perfect compliment for the rehearsal dinner, and getting ready the day of. Having the entire grounds for the wedding weekend is such a luxury. Everything is modern and elegant while maintaining the relaxing rustic ranch vibe we were going for. As we were leaving the property two days after getting married, I was getting emotional as I realized how much I'll miss this place. The only thing I regret is not exploring the property more as there is a lot of surrounding wilderness to enjoy. Fortunately you can rent the ranch house on Airbnb, which I can't wait to do for future anniversaries.
