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 wedding was 80 people and there were tons of spots throughout the p...
roperty 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.

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.

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 feels homey. Picturesque and tons of beautiful backdrops for photo...
s 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.
