Absoultely Beautiful! Lush Green foliage, blooming bright roses, beautiful. Our wedding was in late April, and being out in the valley meant we had sunny days and warm weather. The cost was very reasonable, we got use of the whole ranch for 6 hrs, and we took some amazingly gorgeous photos. We had our wedding out in a grassy patch, under the trees, but they also had an arch and a gazebo which we used for pics. (Be sure to check with them about the grassy area, as they may no longer allow weddings there) If we had had our wedding in a more summery month, we would have had our reception there too. But since we couldn't guarantee no rain, we wanted our reception inside, and the house on the premise wasn't spacious enough.

One NOTE ... the price at first looks very reasonable, but you have to bring everything in yourself ... chairs, tables, sound equipment. It starts to add up quickly.

If there was one vendor we were obsessed about getting right, it was our photographer. Every bride & groom values different pieces more than others. For us, our photos were the single most important line item on our budget. We must have looked at over 50 photographer websites, and met with about a half a dozen. Bryan Chan was our first choice all along. But he only takes a dozen or so weddings a year - he works as a photographer for the LA Times, so he's a little busy, but his photo-journalist style gets some wonderful candid shots, action shots, and they really tell a story when all is said and done. His pricing is so reasonable, and his work is over the top gorgeous. We were so lucky to have gotten him.
