These mini donkeys are awesome. 😂 Such a cool idea for weddings and parties, and everyone gets a kick out of them. Nicci does a great job with them. Definitely worth checking out.

The absolute CUTEST addition to any wedding or event! The beer burros are seriously unforgettable and such a fun, unique touch. The donkeys are adorable, sweet, and easily one of those things guests will be talking about long after the event. Nicci is also an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s so kind, professional, and makes the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re looking for something that will make your event extra special (and give you the cutest photos ever), I cannot recommend them enough! 🤎🐴✨

About this vendor

An Unforgettable Guest Experience—with a Little Ranch Charm Give your guests something they’ll be talking about long after the last dance. The Ranch at Elfin Forest brings beautifully presented donkeys, mini cattle, and llamas directly to your wedding or special event, creating an elevated, interactive experience that feels charming, sophisticated, and completely unexpected. From our signature Beverage Burros carrying chilled drinks to beautifully styled animals welcoming guests during cocktail hour, posing for unforgettable photos, or simply adding a little magic to the celebration, each experience is thoughtfully tailored to complement your wedding aesthetic. Our animals arrive professionally handled and event-ready, with styling options designed to blend beautifully into everything from romantic garden weddings and Spanish-inspired celebrations to rustic-luxe and modern California events. This isn't a petting zoo. It's an experience. Unexpected. Elevated. Unforgettable. The Ranch at Elfin Forest is a charming wedding and event venue located in Escondido, CA.
