Reviews for Sunset Ranch Hawaii
GUEST




This past weekend my daughter got married at Sunset Ranch in Hawaii. The setting was just spectacular, green sloping hills with a view of the ocean in the background and with a gorgeous sunset you could not have planned. We received so many compliments. The staff at the Ranch were so helpful and friendly as we made our many decisions (Thank you). I am so happy we chose Sunset Ranch for our wedding and it will be a day we will always treasure.
GUEST




Sunset Ranch in the North Shore is the most beautiful venue for any wedding. The view from the top is spectacular and the ranch itself sets the mood for any outdoor wedding. The professional staff was very helpful with whatever I needed. If you ever want an outdoor/barn wedding, check this place out! You wont be sorry.
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is the best wedding venue in Hawaii hands down!!! I am from Oahu and have been to a ton of other wedding venues. Before I even mention how wonderful the property was I want to talk about the owner and staff. The owner Greg is so easy to work with. He really wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for us. We could call or email him anytime and he always got right back to us. We bothered him constantly and he was always so patient, friendly, and helpful. Carina, Dania, and Jessica were super helpful too in helping us view the property, schedule our rehearsal, coordinate with our other vendors, and plan our big day!! The property was beautiful and they let us have access to all of it! We had our ceremony on top of a grassy hill over looking the North Shore using a solo standing, huge, rustic tree as our alter. We then had cocktail hour by the pond which also overlooks the Northshore next to a lush tropical rainforrest. Our Ceremony was held in the totally amazing barn which was easy to transform into the best place ever for a reception!! We loved the outdoor space for the ceremony and cocktail hour but we chose the barn for the reception to contain the energy for the reception. Sunset Ranch included the following with the venue: a super clean, fancy, dual-bathroom trailer, coordination with all of our vendors ahead of time to make sure the wedding day would be perfect, day of support to help make sure everything went smooth, and flawless customer service!! You can view our wedding on Sunset Ranch Hawaii's facebook page- the album is Amber and Ryan.

We absolutely loved Sunset Ranch as our wedding venue! Greg was really nice and efficient in answering all of our questions. Being born and raised on Oahu we didn't want the typical Hawaii beach wedding. Sunset Ranch provided a different ambiance for our wedding which we loved. Our guests were impressed with the views and how spacious the ranch was. Many of them had not heard of Sunset Ranch before, but absolutely loved it when they got there. As the bride, my concern was that I didn't want a "ranch" wedding--horses everywhere, bugs all over, smell of manure--but my coordinator told me to keep an open mind and I'm glad she did! Sunset Ranch was very classy and didn't smell like manure :). Greg was also very helpful. You can tell he has a great heart and genuinely cares about your event. We would totally recommend Sunset Ranch to other couples!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is breathtaking and beautiful. We had a lot of fun during our engagement photo shoot. The ranch and the horse were perfect. The staff were flexible, accommodating, and professional. I would highly recommend this venue, you won't be disappointed.

With all the stress of wedding planning, it was nice to know that the customer service at Sunset Ranch was top notch. Greg, the president of Sunset Ranch, and Jessica, the Event Operations Manager were both pleasant to work with and very accommodating. They literally went out of their way to make sure that the wedding we were planning was going to be a success and that there wouldn't be any problems day of. I am glad that they were on top of everything, and pointed out things we missed along the way. Besides the awesome customer service at Sunset Ranch some of the most memorable moments were the gorgeous sunset during cocktail hour and the cutest peacock that greeted guests during the reception!
GUEST




My husband and I had to change the venue for our ceremony 4 days before the wedding. I contacted Sunset Ranch Hawaii, and they were very responsive and helpful.
They allowed us to use the ranch by the hour, and the entire ranch was reserved just for us and our guests. They also have beautiful horses for photoshoot. The photos turned out perfectly and I am really really happy with the last minute change.
GUEST




The minute you walk onto Sunset Ranch, you are in awe of natures beauty that surrounds it with the view of the North Shore, green pastures and mountains behind you. It is a beautiful property and perfect place for a wedding to take place. However; we chose a time of the year of high chances of bad weather. If you are planning on having a wedding anytime in December or January, you are taking a chance. Unfortunatley, the storm had not passed and we ended up with a lot of rain and wind. It was the worst weather you could possibly expect for a wedding but with the help of Sunset crew, friends and family it all turned out well. With our muddy shoes, my muddy wedding dress (yes brides, it was full of mud but dry cleaners removed it), lots of wind and rain we managed to stay positive, have fun and really celebrate our special day! I didn't get the beautiful Sunset Ranch view and ambience that I hoped for but I got a wedding that was definitley unforgettable and to my surprise the craziness of it all, kept everyone together laughing and having a good time. The Sunset crew were great assisting us with trying to make the wedding beautiful despite the circumstances. And through it all, the Sunset Ranch staff were so helpful. Greg (owner) and his staff, were so helpful in answering our questions, allowing us to check out the ranch prior, working around our schedules and had timely responses for all the questions we had. We appreciate Sunset Ranchs help to making our wedding amazing! Thank you guys for all your hard work! I highly recommend having a wedding at Sunset Ranch just would re-think it if you want to have it in December or January. ;)
Vendor response to review
While we work hard to provide the best overall experience for our clients; unfortunately we can't control the weather (I sure wish we could!). That said, we do establish a "Plan B" 30-days before every event to make sure we're well prepared for whatever challenges we face on the day of the event.
We feel honored and blessed to have hosted Nina and Andy's wedding at Sunset Ranch - and we wish them all the very best.
GUEST




I can't say enough great things about the Sunset Ranch and their staff. The venue is absolutely beautiful and there are several different locations on the property where you can have the ceremony and reception. Overall great experience and perfect location for my wedding.
GUEST




The moment we step foot on this property, we fell in love with it, and knew it would be the perfect venue for our Oct, 13, 2012 wedding. Sunset Ranch feels like you are in God’s country… birds chirping, gorgeous mountain and ocean views, Mother Nature surrounding you, and breathtaking sunsets. Our guests enjoyed taking pictures to capture the incredible sunset! It was my dream to have an outdoor wedding and after much searching, my girlfriend luckily found sunset ranch! It was difficult to find a venue that could accommodate the parking needed for very large parties. I loved that they had enough space for my 200 guests, no problem! An added plus was that we were able to have the facility to ourselves all day, with no other events going on nearby. Another wonderful aspect is that Greg Pietsch (Owner) and his excellent staff were so accommodating, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process! They went above and beyond to make our big day extra special for us. We even rented a horse through the sunset ranch to use for our “first look” last minute and it worked out great! I emailed greg a lot and he always responded right away. He is so professional. He is such a nice, good-hearted guy who cares about his clients, like family. Dania, who took us on our first and last site visit was so welcoming, knowledgeable and helped us a lot with envisioning the event with the many options the sunset ranch offers. Christine was the person in charge on the day of, and she did a great job making sure everything went smoothly. She even took some gorgeous photos of our wedding, and shared it with us! Also, the sunset ranch has so many nice photo op areas on property. Our wedding photos look amazing because of it! Overall, we highly recommend the sunset ranch to any wedding couple looking for a venue. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, fun-filled, and perfect wedding, thanks to the sunset ranch ☺ xoxo
GUEST




We rented 2 horses and use of the grounds for a trash the dress photo shoot. Everyone we spoke/dealt with we're very friendly and help efficient. Grounds are beautiful!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is a true diamond in the ruff. A venue that provides more possibilities than any other. The beautiful outdoors, cozy indoors, and atmosphere that will leave people talking for years! Hotel venues are the talk of the past, if you want to wow your guests with lush views, breath taking scenery, and a day or night to remember then Sunset Ranch is the pick. I'm so glad that I decided to have Sunset Ranch as my venue. The people are easy to work with and very accommodating. Quick on the emails and phone calls and very helpful when working with you. From the ceremony, to taking pics, and reception there is no better place. An all in one package deal. Don't let the distance from town discourage you as a bride, if you plan it people will come. Thank you Sunset Ranch, it was a wedding my family and friends can't stop talking about. I really appreciate all that you've done. Good luck on helping brides capture the moment.
GUEST




I loved Sunset Ranch. If you’re looking for a private, beautiful place, Sunset Ranch is the perfect location. In my initial wedding planning I automatically sent inquiries to many Waikiki hotels, thinking these were the most convenient. The thing I didn’t care for about the hotels was I didn’t want tourists to be rubbernecking on my wedding day. Personally, I think a wedding is a private, intimate time, not a time to look up and notice people watching from their lanais or people walking through the ceremony in their bathing suits, stopping by to have a listen. That’s when I found Sunset Ranch. It’s out of the way, which I was a little concerned for the local guests because I thought it might be inconvenient for them to come, but it was not a problem, no one complained and everyone attended. Then there was Greg. He’s wonderful. From the first time communicating with him to the last he was always extremely gracious, responsive, and genuinely cared that our day was all that we wanted. It was just a beautiful, perfect, place to transform into what we envisioned for our wedding. I don’t see how anyone could be unhappy here.
GUEST




I adore Greg, Dania and Janina! They were great with pricing the event, and I love that the venue is so far away from the hustle and bustle in the city. This was a wonderful find, and it was only by chance that I found the website to their place! If I could, I would marry my husband in Sunset Ranch all over again. No other venue could compete with this ranch.
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is the most unbelievably beautiful venue on Oahu. It has the most perfect natural backdrop and the surroundings are well kept. Because the property is so huge, the possibilities are endless. You can really get creative with what you want to do, and where you want to hold (the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception) with so much space to do it. As a wedding planner, I work with many venues and was impressed by the promptness of emails when questions were asked. They were flexible and accommodating to my clients and were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I hope to do another wedding here soon!
GUEST




The venue was beautiful as expected, and the pictures really do not caputure the true beauty of everything. We had our wedding planned out from Chicago and Greg was a delight to work with - he was very responsive, and accomdating and easy to work with. His overall staff was also very professional, the only issue that came up on site was due to some miscommunication between my husband and the event management staff, but Greg was able to fix everything up very quickly. I would reccomend this venue to anyone looking for a unique space to hold a major event.
GUEST




Sunset Ranch was very flexible to our need therefore, we were able to have the creative wedding we wanted. Very Professional, responsive, patient and great customer service.
GUEST




Having considered other options and venues around Oahu, my daughter selected this location and we couldn't be happier. The staff is very responsive, highly professional and customer-oriented. There is none better. We have no regrets and would gladly select Sunset again; for life's most significant events. Albeit a wedding, celebration of doctoral award or passing a professional exam (bar, CPA, CFP). Selecting the location from SC - without having conducted a site review or walk thru (ony my part) was of no concern. My daughter was familiar with the location and I trusted/trust her judgment. Gregg - thank you immensely to you & your staff...for a tremendous job...well-done! You made a unique and special day...easy. The deposit and final payment timeline is spot on. It was a pleasure--to meetg you and work with your staff. If I had another daughter...I'd recommend the same location...and wouldn't change a thing. GOD Bless.
GUEST




There is no doubt this is a beautiful site and they have well learned the trade of being a wedding venue. The company was always kind, responsive, and interested in the success of the wedding. Most importantly, a few gaffs happened that the company honorably and kindly resolved. If I were to marry again, we would do it here in a heartbeat!
GUEST




Can't imagine a better place to get married. Even the caterer and rental company in partnership with venue were terrific.
GUEST




Greg (the owner) and his staff were very accommodating and the venue has so many options to create your perfect event. In addition to being a great space for events Sunset Ranch has been very generous to the community and the owner is very passionate about preserving the surrounding environment. I would highly recommend this location for anyone's wedding or special event.
GUEST




This is the place I dream of when I think about the perfect wedding and it would have been but due to unforseen circumstances we have had to cancel our wedding for the time being. But the staff particularly the owner was more than accomadating and professional during the time we spent planning. I highly recommend Sunset Ranch for any events!
GUEST




My wife and I were very pleased with Sunset Ranch. The location is gorgeous and is a retreat from the city life of Honolulu. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The place is owned and run by honest people and I feel the rate we were offered was very reasonable.
Great site, great people, great memories.
GUEST




Planning a wedding and need a venue? Look no further! Sunset Ranch is the most beautiful ranch! The grounds are green and prestine. The staff were wonderful and the place is so peaceful. All the views around the 30+ acres are jaw dropping. A view high up above overlooking the ocean on green lush grass. It's really just amazing.
I booked Sunset Ranch site unseen. Being from California I was hesitant to book a place that I didn't see. I emailed Greg and he responded to us very quickly. I had a number of questions and he answered all of them not missing one.
The ranch is just gorgeous. I knew the ranch was perfect from the pictures I've seen on the website. I also had other vendors that had events there before and they mentioned that I would not be disappointed. Greg was also one of the main reasons I booked this place. He was very easy to work with, he answered all my emails, and offerred full use of the venue.
If you're looking for a place to have your ceremony/reception and want someone who will coordinate with you in a friendly yet professional manner, Sunset Ranch is the place to go! Beautiful place and wonderful people. I am so glad we booked this place. My family from Hawaii wasn't aware of the ranch and they said they're even saving up to do vow renewals there. =)
Sunset Ranch and the staff made my wedding day spectacular. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the place is. Thank you Greg and Sunset Ranch!
GUEST




The picturesque setting of Sunset Ranch provided us with the wedding of a lifetime. With the gentle green rolling hills, coastal and ocean views, and the openness of the property we had an exceptional outdoor event. The nature surrounding the property was only enhanced by the smiles it brought to those who celebrated with us at Sunset Ranch. We were heavily complimented by both our visitors and local family and friends on the gorgeousness of the property.
Above all the staff and service accommodated us in every way, we had no problems nor regrets with this venue. It is with great confidence that my wife and I would highly recommend Sunset Ranch to ANYONE considering an outdoor wedding on Oahu's north shore.
GUEST




When planning my wedding, venue was the TOP priority for me. I was born and raised on Oahu and have been to weddings at places all over the island, but I had never heard of Sunset Ranch until planning my own wedding. It was such a blessing to find this place, and Sunset Ranch truly made the event better than the wedding of my dreams.
From the first moment I arrived there for our visit, I knew the search for a wedding venue was over. Sunset Ranch is absolutely stunning! Just breath-takingly gorgeous. I was even more pleased when I learned about how the owner has set up the land for conservation and and for various sustainability projects! Additionally, they were flexible and helpful in allowing us to come on the property several times leading up to the wedding to envision decorations, to hold the wedding rehearsal, and to have tents set up early. The price you pay for this venue is well worth it.
Greg, the owner, was very prompt, friendly and professional in all my phone and email communications with him. A real pleasure to work with. There was a switch in site coordinators between when I first booked the site and when we had the wedding. The new coordinator was still getting up to speed, but Greg was incredibly helpful and responsive when I contacted him about a couple of small snags.
Our pictures turned out gorgeous! And countless guests asked us how we found the venue and commented about what a great time they had there.
As another huge bonus, we were able to rent a house just across the street from the Ranch for our wedding party to stay at the night before and after the wedding. And there are numerous other vacation rentals right in Pupukea.
GUEST




We searched all over Oahu for a ceremony and reception venue. We were looking for somewhere that was unique, beautiful, and somewhere we could have the freedom to express our individuality, vision and creativity. (and for me, as the bride, I've always wanted a place where I would not hear any police or ambulance sirens). This beautiful 30+ acre ranch is tucked away at the very top of Pupukea and over looks all of Haliewa, Waimea, Sunset beach, and Kaena point... so no sirens here!
Its beauty is beyond words, and this is coming from someone who lives in Hawaii. If you really want a venue that will impress all your guests, look no further. Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE comments on the beauty and uniqueness of this pristine ranch.
Greg, the owner of the ranch, LOVES his couples and was very accommodating to our needs and requests. He honestly wants your day to be beautiful, and special, you are not just another client.
Also, our videographers, and photographers loved this venue, and had a blast shooting us there... Our sunset pictures are AMAZING because of this venue!
Thank you Greg for all that you have done to make this day so very special and memorable, not only for us, but for our guest as well!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is the most breath taking place to get married! The staff is accommodating and friendly. Great experience!
GUEST




I cannot explain how much we loved having our wedding at Sunset Ranch. It could not have been a better fit for us. Everyone we worked with, both the Sunset Ranch staff and our outside vendors, were a dream. The owner, Greg, was so easy to work with and very understanding when it came to my husband's military training schedule. He also helped recommend several of the vendors we used, many of them at special rates. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the ranch was and how stress free and laid back our day was. Our goal for our wedding day to pay homage to and share with our guests what is so amazing about the North Shore and Sunset Ranch helped us do just that. In the end, the wedding was a perfect day and my husband and I both truly appreciate the opportunity to work with such an amazing venue... it would not have been the same anywhere else!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch was a spectacular venue for my March wedding and reception. In addition to providing the gorgeous grounds (and ocean/sunset view!), Greg, Corinne, and the rest of the Sunset Ranch team made the entire planning process incredibly smooth and reliable. Everyone responded quickly to my emails and phone calls and were completely flexible with my ideas and plans, offering advice and opinions when I needed them. I would highly recommend the eanch to anyone looking for a venue for their event. Our wedding guests all came away talking about the grounds, the awesome bathrooms, and the incredible sunset! Sunset Ranch is spectacular!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch was AMAZING!!!! I planned the wedding site-unseen from Alaska and when I saw the property for the first time the day before the wedding I was completely speechless. The property and the guest suites were well maintained and luxurious. The views were phenomenal! My favortie thing about the property was that there were multiple locations to take photos.
Greg and Dania were always helpful throughout the process, always available and responsive. I could have not pulled such a flawless wedding off without them.
I cannot even put into words how phenomenal this property is. My wedding went off without a hitch, and mainly in part to all the referrals from Sunset Ranch for the vendors I used.
I had a blast! I highly recommend this venue to anyone.
Thank you Sunset Ranch (Greg and Dania) for making my day extra special.
GUEST




It is the most beautiful place to get married! We had such a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing, returning emails and phone calls right away and they are very accommodating. I look forward to hopefully celebrating more events at the ranch!
GUEST




What a wonderful amazing place! I really could not have been happier! This venue boasts spectacular views of the ocean and mountains, it is atria Hawaiian Country feel and I even got to ride to the alter on a horse!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch was the perfect venue for us. I wanted a unique venue and the different areas such as the garden, barn, outdoor fields, views made our wedding so special. We had so many guests that complimented us on the venue and how much fun everyone had.
GUEST




We loved Sunset Ranch! Not only was the setting beautiful and very private, everyone at the Ranch was amazingly helpful.
While planning the wedding I was starting to get frustrated by lack of response from other venues and vendors in Hawaii. My husband and I grew up in the islands but currently live in Seattle so it was tough to have to plan a semi destination wedding. When I inquired about Sunset Ranch, the owner, Greg, emailed me back right away. He took care of all of my concerns and was even able to give me other contacts hotel bookings, party rentals, and caterers.
When we got to the Ranch the day before the wedding, the on-site contact Aaron, met with us and walked us through everything we needed to know. He was incredible! Aaron got us everything we needed, had wonderful suggestions and really helped our wedding go smoothly. Having him there to take care of our needs was invaluable. I would give Sunset Ranch 10 stars for quality of service if I could.
I can't recommend Sunset Ranch enough. It had everything that I was looking for: privacy, beautiful scenery, and fantastic customer service. Having the perfect venue really made the rest of the wedding planning go smoothly.
GUEST




From a groom's perspective, this was the most amazing venue I've ever experienced. The ranch is beautiful, the view is second to none, but the real value of Sunset Ranch comes from the owner and the caretakers. I've planned events at many venues in Hawaii thanks to my previous job but I've never worked with a better group of people who will do everything they can to make your special day the best it could possibly be. My wife and I had the opportunity to not just get married there but thanks to the staff I was able to propose to her there and have our rehearsal dinner on the grounds as well. Our entire wedding story involves Sunset Ranch and we recommend them for any event that you could be planning. We had our ceremony in the field in front of the house and next to the pond and then our reception in the stables. It was a lot of work to setup but my wife loved every minute and our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Big thanks to the staff at Sunset Ranch for making all of it possible.
GUEST




My wedding was perfect! The staff at Sunset Ranch was very professional and flexible with all our planning needs. They were very accommodating and are easy to work with. Not to mention, the venue is spectacularly gorgeous!!! Definitely recommended if you're looking for that Hawaii wedding with views of the mountains and the ocean!
GUEST




This venue is just magnificent. Everyone that attended our service said it was the best wedding by far. What made it special was the spectacular view, nature, privacy. We liked that we could have the facility from 6 am tom10 pm....... We spent the day there. Our guest were very impressed with the bathrooms....air-conditioned and very clean. There were so many places to choose from for our ceremony and reception. We did an outdoor photo booth because we were surrounded by so much foliage. The photos came out wonderful. And Ahh that sunset....great photo opportunities to remember the day. The staff made the experience even better.....so responsible, friendly, and respectful. You don't find service like this anymore.....customer service great!
Thank you Sunset Ranch Ohana.
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is magical. It embodies a beauty and sense of peace that both my husband and I fell in love when we toured the property and we immediately knew that it was the perfect venue for our wedding. It's excitingly unique from the traditional chapel weddings and Waikiki receptions and exactly what we were looking for. The views are amazing! The ocean and mountain views were the perfect backdrop and the sunset on the night of our wedding was so amazing that our guests left our program to take pictures of the view!
The multiple areas to use on the Ranch was great and it allowed us to have such great photos with different backdrops. We were even set up with one of the horses on property to take pictures with...amazing!
Our experience with the owner, Greg was exceptional. He was extremely helpful and accommodating and made the process surprisingly simple by providing us with everything we needed and more. He had such a genuine interest to help us and went as far as putting me in touch with the bride who was having her wedding the day after us, to see if we could use the same vendors to save on cost. Talk about going the extra mile! Coordinators Corrine and Aaron were also such a pleasure to work with. The day of our wedding, Aaron was with us from beginning to end, assisting us with setup, cleanup and everything in between.
Magical Ranch, stunning views, genuine people - the perfect venue and experience for a wedding or any event!
GUEST




Can you have a better setting than Hawaii beach backdrops? Yes!!! Sunset Ranch has both beach and mountain views... not to mention horses in the pasture, rustic barn, gorgeous green lawns, and intimate tree groves. We had a memorable pink, orange sunset over the water, and a magical full moon rise over the mountains. Greg, the owner, is wonderful to work with... and he's so flexible with what you can do on the property! If you are looking for a private estate with lots of leeway as to what you can do, look no further! Corinne, the events manager, is also a talented photographer. Great people, great location, you can't ask for more! Guests were raving about the a/c bathroom trailer. It was windy the day of our wedding, so be sure to have a wind plan in addition to your rain/sun plan.
GUEST




I absolutely loved Sunset Ranch. I chose the venue before I even saw it, but Greg Pietsch (owner) was more than helpful as I reserved the site and made the necessary arrangements for a reception dinner. He suggested a caterer and an event party rental company that both lived up to my high expectations. The view and scenery were beautiful. It earned its name and was absolutely worth its price. Best day of my life!
GUEST




I loved the location!!! All of my mainland guest and my local guest were completely blown away by the site. Greg the owner and his vendor partners were fantastic. Everything was perfect!
GUEST




Greg, Corinne and Aaron were beyond a pleasure to work with. Not only did they provide a venue for the ceremony and reception, we also were allowed to utilize their beautiful guest suites in the guest house overnight in order to better prepare for the wedding. They also worked in conjunction with our caterer, Chef Elmer, from the Poke Stop and Pacific Party Rentals for a smooth planning and execution process. Sunset Ranch made it easy for our guests to find the location by setting up Event Location signs along the road, and also roped off parking for the event. I highly recommend other people to pick this location for their event!

GUEST




Sunset Ranch is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but the owner, Greg, and his staff, Corinne and Aaron Gold, are all so helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate your wishes. Everyone involved was helpful, responsive and most of all flexible. It made a stressful time that much less stressful. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend it.
GUEST




I was set on getting married on the beach in Hawaii, but after being so disappointed in all the beach locations we checked out someone told me about Sunset Ranch. My first thought was, I do not want to get married on a ranch! But when I got up there and saw this beautiful place, and how nice and easy going the staff was, I knew it was the perfect location for our special day! This is one of the most beautiful paces I have ever been to. We also rented the giant kitchen, and stayed on the ranch for 2 nights. It is a whole other world up there, the ocean view on one side and a rain forest view on the other. It was perfect! Greg, Corinne, and Aaron are the sweetest people, and made everything so easy for us. Aaron went above and beyond the whole day of our wedding. Thank you!
GUEST




Greg at Sunset Ranch was great! He was always very prompt in responding to calls and emails and was very helpful with his referrals for venders, and with any questions, etc. It was challenging planning a hawaii wedding from San Diego, but Greg was always very flexible and worked with us in planning our site visit and with questions that came up about the site.
The site itself is AMAZING! Our guests raved that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been too. There is a barn on the property which is great for photos;). Also, the two guest rooms on the property were perfect for getting ready in. The only downfall at an outdoor venue like this was that we had to bring everything we needed in; tables,chairs,tableware,etc.. which made our equipment cost go up. But we wanted an outdoor wedding and our ceremony under that gorgeous tree and our amazing dinner views made it all worth it! We had a great experience at Sunset Ranch and would highly recommend this venue!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is the perfect place for the couples who love the nature such as sky, field,ocean and the sunset!!
As an event designer, I fell in love with this place from at the sight and so as my clients. I love when I take my client to the middle of the field and see their face smiling and satisfied.
You will also see the people who have very warm heart there.
Everything there is really more than words to say:)
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is my top favorite wedding venue.
I love the place of course but I also love the people there.
GUEST




I have to admit I was a little sketchy about an outdoor wedding. My husband had his heart set on Sunset Ranch the minute we laid eyes on it. Thank God I decided to listen to my husband. It was beautiful the staff was amazing helped us every step of the way. Sunest ranch also had two suites available for the bridal party to get ready and of course my husband and I stayed there over night and the rooms were so comfy!!! Sunset Ranch is absolutely breath taking. Thank you to the wonderful staff for giving us life time memories!!
GUEST




My husband and I wanted an intimate, outdoor wedding away from the hustle and bustle of the typical Hawaii hotel. Sunset Ranch is a completely private and unique venue. The owner and staff were all very accessible and accommodating, particularly when our picturesque wedding weekend turned into the rainiest June weekend Oahu has seen in years. They were pretty flexible with start times and break-down times (although there were no events the day prior or following ours), and it was such an amazing experience to have the ranch to ourselves the night of the wedding. There was no rush to leave, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Thank you, Sunset Ranch!
GUEST




Sunset Ranch is a beautiful location for a wedding. The large acreage and beautiful ocean views provide an elegant country ambiance. Our guests enjoyed, walking the grounds, seeing the lily pond, the valley view, horses in the distance, the gorgeous ocean and mountain views, and just the feeling of spaciousness.
There are various locations for reception tents and wedding ceremony so that each wedding can be uniquely the couples own.
There is a kitchen available for an additional fee, which was an intregal part of our wedding needs. (We provided the pupus and a caterer did the main courses.)
There are very well appointed changing rooms for the bride and groom as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen. There is the option of reserving a room for the bride and groom for an over night stay.
GUEST




Such a Beautiful place to have our wedding the view, the Venue and hospitality was just amazing. So friendly and great with helping in taking part in one of the most special days of our lives.

Thank you once again to everyone at Sunset Ranch for everything you did for myself and my wife you will forever be in our hearts.

My husband and I were married on Sunset Ranch and it was the most beautiful place I could have ever asked for in a wedding venue. Situated on a mountain top overlooking the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, with a spectacular view of the ocean. With 30 acres of land, we had more than enough space for our wedding of 250 guests. It is a great place for kids too! They just loved running free in the wide open fields. It was a time that all of our closest family and friends could enjoy the celebration without worrying about their children misbehaving. There are not any neighbors around either, so noise was not a factor we had to worry about. The owner, Greg Pietsch, is wonderful to work with. Friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Sunset Ranch and can say without a doubt, you will not be dissappointed!
This stunning mountain top ranch won't be the best kept secret for very long. Perched upon the top of Waimea Valley this ranch has the most stunning vistas in the whole state. You will find everything you need here for an enchanting and delightful event. What I can't translate into words however is the warm, romantic charm that the property exhibits.
We love working at Sunset Ranch -- it's a beautiful place to have a wedding and the staff are excellent.
Sunset Ranch is an absolutely beautiful venue out in the north shore... you can't ask for more out of a venue or a person to deal with. Greg is amazing! I'm excited to see more and more weddings being held here and hope to be working more of them in the future! The property is huge and really lets you use your imagination while you plan it all out. There are so many options for set-up and they are all gorgeous! As a wedding planner, I work with many venues and was impressed by the promptness of emails when questions were asked. They were flexible and accommodating to my clients and were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I hope to do another wedding here soon!

When I first set foot at Sunset Ranch, I was beyond captivated by the natural God given beauty that surrounds this place. It's a piece of heaven! I was so inspired by the amazing views and environment, that I told one of my staff that I wish I could frame this spot. Viola, I created a ceremony frame for our guests to be married by... This place is filled with Inspiration from the beautiful sunsets, magical trees, rustic barn yard, monet style pond, rolling hills, majestic horses, the list can go on and on..
