The Hurst Ranch

ntire planning time, always available when we had questions. The venue is a historic village owned by the city of West Covina. There's a farmhouse, school room, jail house, saloon, cornfield, farm equipment and a few old cars... all excellent places to take pictures. We had our ceremony outside, which was beautiful, and then the reception inside. The Hurst Ranch staff was fantastic. Annie made our dinner plates and hand delivered them to us. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I thought the buildings would be open for our guests to explore , but they were all closed. Also, there were a few boxes and modern-day things sitting around outside some of the buildings that took away from the atmosphere a bit. It's possible nobody but me noticed them, and it was really hot, so our guests spent most of the wedding inside. Overall, Hurst Ranch is fantastic. I can't imagine a better place for a celebration. And it is affordable, which is the icing on top of the cake :) :) :)

u can only use them for catering and will be your point of contact throughout the entire process. Venue offers a lot of unique options for photos, set-up and entertaining. This review is meant to cover both The Hurst Ranch & The Bashful Butler. We hope this information helps future couples (or anyone working with either vendor) have a successful and memorable experience. Helpful notes and tips: Parking: A bit tricky considering there is none (well, only enough for 16 or so cars) but not a deal breaker. There is plenty of street parking available. Property: Well-kept and clean. We held our ceremony at a nearby church, so just reception at the Hurst Ranch. However, the property allows for both a ceremony and reception to be held in one location. Security: We had two officers onsite and were very professional, polite and attentive. Other reviews mention rude security, not the case with us. Food: Food tasting was 'ok' and day of food was much better, we were very pleased. Bartender/ Servers: No complaints at all. Staff was very polite, dressed well and overall very pleasant. Lights: indoor string lights are pretty and unique. Guests thought we had hired someone to install them. Worth mentioning, make sure they are working - all of them. All were working during our party but I made sure of this ahead of time. Ryan: Ryan works for the Bashful Butler and was our contact throughout the entire planning process. My only recommendation for working with Ryan (and perhaps any vendor) is to communicate via email and keep track of all correspondence. During our final meeting, Ryan became somewhat 'forgetful' about things we had previously discussed. He's a busy person which we understand, but do keep record of everything and you should be fine. Other than that, Ryan was awesome and very accommodating. He answered emails on a timely manner. Harrison: Harrison also works for the Bashful Butler and was our day of onsite contact. Our day of coordinator worked with Harrison and she was very pleased. He was helpful and accommodating. We had rain right before our cocktail hour and Harrison was helpful during that stressful period + throughout the evening. Other: We rented bentwood chairs, up-lighting and green hedges to make indoor space feel warm and romantic. We hired a day of coordinator which resulted in the best decision ever. She made sure things ran extra smooth on day of! Venue is very affordable and allows budget conscious couples the opportunity to splurge elsewhere. To summarize, we were very pleased with our wedding! We would recommend this property and Bashful Butler. Stay organized and get all your questions answered early on. Never assume anything. We asked a lot of questions (about everything and anything) and as a result everything went as planned.

eautiful country , rustic like venue. Ryan the coordinator was outstanding . He help us out with meeting our budget and answered all our questions. Really recommend this venue and Ryan as coordinator.
