Such a Gorgeous Wedding Venue!!

Our daughter and her new husband had their wedding at Higuera Ranch this past month. It was simply stunning!! With the gorgeous hills in the background, the iconic barn, the picturesque main house and the new distillery, this place is the perfect backdrop for a wedding. All the guest raved over how beautiful the Ranch is. Even my picky husband was incredibly impressed. Kristen, (the owner) is such a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. Such a lovely venue that provided memories (and photos) that our kids will treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you Kristen for sharing your special property with our families!

Amazing Venue!

As a local wedding photographer and the owner of JLeigh Photography, I have had the pleasure of shooting weddings at Higuera Ranch on multiple occasions. From my experience, I can confidently say that Higuera Ranch is one of the most stunning and picturesque wedding venues on the Central Coast of California.

From the moment you drive onto the property, you are surrounded by the natural beauty and charm of the ranch. The sprawling 80-acre property is filled with oak trees, rolling hills, and lush greenery, creating a truly magical setting for a wedding.

One of the things I love most about Higuera Ranch is the variety of options it offers for wedding ceremonies and receptions. There are multiple outdoor ceremony sites to choose from, each with its own unique backdrop. Whether you prefer a rustic barn setting or a more elegant garden setting, Higuera Ranch has it all.

The reception areas are just as impressive as the ceremony sites. The main reception area is a beautiful barn with high ceilings, wooden beams, and string lights, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. There is also a spacious outdoor patio area, perfect for cocktail hour or dancing under the stars.

As a photographer, I am always on the lookout for great lighting and photo opportunities, and Higuera Ranch does not disappoint. The property is filled with stunning backdrops, from the olive tree-lined driveway to the open fields and vineyards, providing endless possibilities for beautiful and unique wedding photos.

The staff at Higuera Ranch is also top-notch. They are professional, accommodating, and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that the wedding day runs smoothly. From the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding, the staff at Higuera Ranch works closely with the couple and their vendors to make sure every detail is perfect.

Overall, I highly recommend Higuera Ranch as a wedding venue. It is a photographer's dream, with its natural beauty, variety of settings, and incredible lighting. I have had nothing but positive experiences shooting weddings at Higuera Ranch, and I am always excited when a couple chooses this venue for their special day.

Higuera Ranch is a DREAM!

Higuera Ranch was the first and ONLY wedding venue we toured. Once we got paired with Kristin via email, we did not feel the need to reach out to other venues. She was a joy to work with, and the ranch is breathtaking. We were able to host our bridal party and families between the 2 houses, and it made the weekend celebration that much more special. Joe, the ranch manager, is also incredibly helpful and I can guarantee every central coast vendor LOVES supporting Higuera Ranch weddings. 9.2.2023 might be the best day we'll ever have! THANK YOU HIGUERA RANCH!

I photographed Higuera Ranch for the first time during the "Finally-I-do" wedding event. It was such a pleasure to meet Kristin and her staff. They are incredible. As a photographer, the ranch is a perfect setting and background for any kind of imagery you might want or need. I highly recommend the ranch without any hesitation.
