There truly aren’t enough wonderful things we could say about this venue. From the moment we first inquired all the way to our wedding day, we felt genuinely special and so well ca...
red for. The property is beautifully secluded, and every bit of landscaping feels thoughtfully designed with so much love and intention.
The owner of Victoria Ranch also provided her company’s catering, and the food ended up being one of the standout highlights of our day. We received so many compliments on the dinner, the atmosphere, and especially the incredible staff.
Victoria Ranch is truly a hidden gem, filled with charming original details from over 100 years ago that make it all the more unique. Joanne and Kiko were wonderfully attentive, incredibly responsive, and made sure every little detail was perfect. We couldn’t be more grateful.
I had my wedding at Victoria Ranch in February. It was perfect! The location is stunning with beautiful views and a gorgeous sunset – plenty of spots for incredible photos. Our wed...
ding was 80 people and there were tons of spots throughout the property for people to wander, explore, and take photos, while still feeling intimate.
We had a happy hour event the night before our ceremony and reception, all of which were catered by the preferred vendor, Chef Joann. The food was incredible. Hands down the best wedding food ever.
We ended up staying at the property for two nights with our families and when the weather got chilly at night we ended up moving the party into the ranch itself. The ranch is charming and cozy, full of vintage tchotchkes that made this antique lover's heart melt.
Perhaps most importantly, the team was easy to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. They were responsive and knowledgeable. I put a lot of trust in their vision and input. It was the best decision because it took a lot of the stress off of planning a wedding, knowing that the catering and venue was in good, capable hands.
The beauty of this incredible venue is like none other!
The love, the attention to detail, the 'intention' created for each, and every event is so powerful and amazing! When you w...
ork with Joanne and her team, you and your guests will feel how special and magical they truly are in creating the event of your dreams - whether that be your wedding, a birthday soiree or a wonderful retreat.
Amazing food and drinks, amazing service and oh! the splendid view. Such a wonderful place to be, to celebrate life!
Full disclosure: I attended an A+ client event at Victoria Ranch, not a wedding. But here’s the thing: all I could think while I was there was, “wow! I wish I’d had my wedding here...
!” This place is fantastic. The landscape is truly magical, and the geographic location rich with local history. The house and guest rooms are cozy, private, and adorable. The decor is like stepping back in time with authentic mid-century relics that will warm your heart and make you smile. Since I did attend a cocktail hour and sit-down four-course dinner, I at least got to see how wonderful a reception can be here with breathtaking views and plenty of space to mingle, nosh, and toast the celebration.
Victors Ranch is gorgeous. One of a kind, the vibe is so cool and in nature. We opted to use Joann and all her services to make it all inclusive and she did not disappoint. The att...

I booked Victoria Ranch for my bachelorette party and it was an absolute dream. Not only is the venue super spacious and surrounded by rolling hills and tons of nature, but also fe...
els homey. Picturesque and tons of beautiful backdrops for photos and video.
The host was very communicative and made me feel special and #1 from the get-go.
The venue also comes with a preferred caterer Chef Joann if you want to add that on. We did a family-style dinner on the outdoor deck during sunset. It was magical and the service was excellent.
The only reason we didn't have our wedding here was our headcount, but I know they've since expanded and are ready for bigger weddings.
I recommend the venue any chance I get. It's absolutely gorgeous, especially if you love the outdoors and nature. And the service is incredible and very easy to work with.
