About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Located in Martinez, California, JBL Home Ranch is a wedding venue where rustic charm meets elegance. This exquisite ranch is nestled in the Briones Hills, located just 30 miles from downtown San Francisco, right outside of Lamorinda. A family-owned-and-operated venue, this property is the perfect romantic setting for an unforgettable soirée.

Facilities and Capacity

JBL Home Ranch's 208 acres in the Briones Valley were primarily used for raising cattle and as a homestead. The Home Ranch included the hay barn, which was built in the early 1920s, and a small farmhouse, garage, and shop were added throughout the years. After many decades of changes and restoration, the property is now a beautiful wedding venue fit for a fairytale soirée. As you enjoy your day, you will be able to enjoy the picturesque views that surround this estate. Rolling hills, lush forests, and manicured pastures will provide you with a one-of-a-kind photo backdrop. Couples who wish to exchange vows in the warmth of the sun can do so on the hilltop, treating their witnesses to idyllic scenes of the surrounding grounds. The large barn can be used for receptions, and with ample room for dining tables and a dance floor, you and your guests can dine and dance the night away.

Services Offered

The event spaces at JBL Home Ranch are ideal for all kinds of wedding activities. These include engagement parties, wedding showers, elopements, rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, and receptions. Wedding packages can include bar and catering services for a convenient experience. The culinary team will serve your delicious spread as a plated, buffet, or family-style meal.

Our JBL Home Ranch is an old gem tucked away in The Briones Valley. I was so excited the day our family purchased this beautiful 208 acres just minutes from Lafayette, Orinda, Pleasant Hill and Martinez. Our horses get the best care possible, and live in our lovely pastures. It is my goal to make your event the best of my ability. Hope to see you soon!
