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.

municate, 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!

rt. 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.

and so kind to work with. This was especially helpful since we lived out of town but they were always there to help with any concerns or questions. Not to mention this venue is stunning! Between the outdoor ceremony, the beautiful tent for a dinner space, and the barn for our reception this venue has it all. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved the venue. This location is perfectly tucked away to make your wedding feel so intimate and special. We could not have asked for a better venue or people to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend Tar Creek for your wedding venue and we promise you will have as amazing of a day as we did!

it 160 people into the barn for a seated dinner, with the buffet table for the food just outside the barn doors. We also loved the patio outside where guests could go to talk away from the music inside. We also had access to the ranch house, which was the perfect place for our rehearsal dinner and for my bridesmaids and I to get ready the morning of the wedding. The grounds of this venue are stunning, so no need to travel anywhere off property for a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos! Finally, Matthew and Christina are very prompt and professional.

ests who fit comfortably at the venue and raved about the beauty. My bridesmaids and I were able to stay and get ready at the house on the hill. The rental home is perfect and accommodated my 10 girls and I. The owner and wedding coordinator made this day and the months leading up to it as stress free as possible! We rented out the venue for the whole weekend and would recommend this location to anyone looking to get married on the central coast.
