Magical Venue
This venue came together after we lost our first venue during the 2018 fire season. Calamigos survived and they were very accommodating to the weddings that lost their venue. They helped us and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams at a beautiful location. We took the first Saturday we could and grabbed the Oak Room location which gave us a beautiful waterfall backdrop. It couldn't have been more perfect, I highly recommend Calamigos Ranch for any wedding or event.

Excellent Service
I am a wedding planner and love working at Calamigos. Their hospitality is completely on par with orchestrating a beautiful wedding. They take special care of the bride and groom as well as each guest. I cannot say what a breathe of fresh air it is to work at a property I know my clients will be well taken care of.

Great venue
Our friends got married here a couple years ago and we loved the venue. We used the oak room. I liked that the venue was half inside and half outside. It was a little colder than we thought it would be but most of our guests were from the midwest
