Holman Ranch was a dream location to be married and have our reception. The grounds are so beautiful that you don't need to add much to it, our guests were also blown away by the big views and gorgeous property.
I was just browsing through my wedding pictures and my heart was immediately filled with joy, and remembered that I still needed to give The Holman Ranch the 5 star review that they deserve. My husband and I could not have asked for a better venue than The Holman Ranch. It was definitely over our budget, but once we visited the property there was no turning back, every other place we looked at just couldn't compare. You don't need to worry about adding a lot of fluff to your wedding when you have it at The Holman Ranch because the scenery is spectacular and you do not want anything trying to compete with its beauty. Many of our guest are calling our wedding the wedding of the year, but honestly it's impossible to not have a beautiful wedding here. It was great being able to get there on Friday and have all of our loved ones relaxing in the game room enjoying great wine and conversation before our big day. The people who work here are really sweet and totally helpful. I would definitely recommend having your big day here. I wish I could do it again!
The entire Holman Ranch staff was very welcoming and excellent to work with! They made the entire process very easy and allowed multiple site visits so that I could clearly articulate my vision. The entire site was a little more than I wanted to spend, but Hunter worked with us and the venue is just so amazing and unique, how could we not say yes? The venue was clean and beautiful, with the guest bedrooms comfy and cozy. I would recommend this venue/vendor to everyone!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Holman Ranch and it was truly a dream come true. Not only is it a beautiful location, but the entire staff is so helpful! Hunter was wonderful to work with. She was so quick and professional in all of our communications. I would recommend this gorgeous venue to anyone interested!
Thank you Holman Ranch for making our wedding a huge success!
Aside from how absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained the property is (literally every single guest at the wedding RAVED about the ranch's beauty and that it was absolutely the most perfect wedding site for both a ceremony and reception), the main event coordinator Hunter was so accommodating and always responsive to questions. The entire planning of the event was so smooth because of her generosity and understanding about vendor arrivals and deliveries, as the event was on the larger side. The wedding and reception went on without a single hiccup. It was an absolute DREAM!
Such a beautiful place and the staff could not be more helpful, friendly and kind. This place is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. We had a large reception (350+) and Holman Ranch was the perfect fit for our celebration. My only complaint is that we had to cut off the music at 9:00. Still, this place is so beautiful, you should not pass it up.
Holman Ranch is one of the most beautiful places to have your wedding.From the moment my husband and I saw Holman we fell in love and new right away that this was the place for us.I had the time of my life and couldn't have asked for a better venue. The staff is really helpful and nice. Our guests said it was like heaven. I would recommend this wonderful place to anyone looking for a dream wedding.
Anytime I talk to someone that attended our wedding, they always mention how beautiful Holman Ranch is and how great the staff treated us. They were on top of everything. Simply fantastic service. Holeman affords flexibility for the day of your event. Provides easy access to venders; the accommodations afford you a leisurely and comfortable location to prepare for the special day. No running from here to there for last minute details. It's like being home and your not.
Holman Ranch is an amazing place, the people are extremely friendly and very hard working. They are very flexible and work hard at making your wedding day perfect. I would recommend this for any type of event it was the perfect weekend getaway for family and friends.
Could not have picked a more beautiful location to get married. I had my fairy tail wedding and the staff at Holman Ranch are amazing! Thanks so much for everything:)
I can't say enough good things about Holman. I've been to two weddings at Holman Ranch. I attended the first wedding by myself as a guest. Attending a wedding by yourself, when you don't know anyone but the bride, can be dreadful, but I had such a wonderful time at Holman. I was able to explore the interiors of the ranch: the stately main room, the lovely courtyard, the views from the lawns. I had a wonderful time just relaxing and soaking up the romantic environment and chatting with all the other guests doing the same. My experience as a guest there was so perfect, I knew I wanted to have my wedding there. And last year, I did.
My husband fell in love with the venue at first sight. Being from the peninsula area, we worried that our guests wouldn't dislike having to drive down to Carmel Valley, but knew they'd forget all that as soon as they arrived. It's just such a perfect setting. Both the scenery indoors and outdoors hold so much appeal, just being there is entertaining enough.
As for putting on a wedding (I had both my ceremony and reception here), it went flawlessly. Hunter, the events coordinator, was always responsive, always cheerful, always helpful when it came to answering my many questions. The service she and her staff gave on the big day couldn't have been more effective, accommodating or efficient and was always friendly. Holman Ranch, along with my caterer (Bird of Paradise, whom I highly recommend) created a day that actually exceeded my expectations (and what bride doesn't have HIGH expectations for her wedding day?)
Holman Ranch was a superb place to have a wedding. The site is exquisite, Though all vendors need to be brought in, Hunter was very good at suggesting vendors she has worked with. A wedding coordinator is suggested to make things work smoothly so Holman is not inexpensive but the result is amazing. It is also wonderful to have family stay at Holman during the wedding weekend. The facilities are lovely but service is not provided to the rooms. Still, having your own pool, fitness center, and incredible setting is very special.
My husband and I held both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding at Holman Ranch. Both events were everything we envisioned and more. We love how there are so many beautiful and unique spaces on site - both days felt unique and special for us and our guests. Having our wedding at Holman Ranch was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. During our wedding, nearly each guest we spoke with shared that Holman Ranch was the most beautiful venue they have ever been too... we definitely agree! We are so appreciative of the on site staff for all their efforts in making our event run smoothly. I highly recommend Holman Ranch for any special event.
We were the very first wedding after Holman Ranch was renovated and reopened. Everything they did to make sure it was ready for our big day was spectacular. I had attended my uncle's wedding 8 years earlier at Holman Ranch when it was under different ownership and nothing was the same. The renovations that were done were so beautiful and appropriate to the style of the property. Hunter was so proactive in helping me sort out details from 3000 miles away . I'm a professional corporate event planner in Atlanta, and I had a very specific vision for our reception. One thing I have learned over the years is to make sure you trust the venue. They know their space better than any client or event planner that walks through the door and Hunter did everything in her power to maximize the use of her space for our reception and our guests. When it comes to venues in the Carmel/ Monterey area, they are second to NONE. To make our day just a little bit more special than it already was, she created a special sign for my husband and I to remember our wedding day at Holman Ranch. Everyone still talks about the venue, the dancing in the carriage house, the reception on the lawn with the market umbrellas and the dinner in the rose patio. Thank you thank you Hunter for everything you did. I wish we could do it all over again!
