Ranch wedding venue in Temecula
A wedding, or a whole weekend

The day

The spaces
Every space is yours
Hold the ceremony and the reception wherever you like; all of it is included.
Ceremony
The Ceremony Lawn
A lawn that seats up to 200, with a raised timber deck and its timber arch at the head. You stand on the deck with the valleys behind you, and your guests sit on the lawn below. The rehearsal happens here too.

The Sunset Deck
A timber deck at the edge of the hill, strung with market lights and named for what it faces. It holds the cocktail hour as the sun goes down, then the toasts, the first dance and the last.

- West, into the sunset
- Overhead
- Market lights
Reception · getting ready
The Sunset Barn
The redwood barn, with its cupola and sliding doors, opens onto the paved court and the Sunset Deck. Dinner happens here under the lights, with the getting-ready suite and the game room close by, and a tent over the barn area is the plan if it rains.

Stay the weekend
The Ranch House
A long timber house on the hilltop under a green metal roof, with the lawn out front and the valleys past the porch rail. Inside are bedrooms for 14, a great room with a stone fireplace and timber beams, a dining room with a farmhouse table and a kitchen for your own chef. The deep porch wraps around toward the view, for coffee the morning after. It comes with a weekend package.

Real weddings
Every tradition, the same care
Ceremonies on the deck and the lawns, portraits in the grove and the vines, dinner under the lights, and more in the gallery. The ranch welcomes weddings of every tradition, from an Indian ceremony under a flowered mandap on the lawn to a whole weekend with the Ranch House; the sacred fire of a traditional Indian ceremony is the one open flame allowed in this dry country (see the FAQs).
If it rains
A tent over the barn
If rain is forecast, we recommend renting a tent over the barn area, so the ceremony and dinner can both be under it. We’ll share the rental companies we trust.
