The main Event Barn - This space is for weddings 75-250. Couples can hold their ceremony upon the spacious Grogan Lawn. This park-like setting is bordered by perennial gardens and is surrounded by panoramic views of the beautiful countryside. For your reception, you can dance the night away in their newly renovated barn. This romantic space can hold up to 250 guests for a sit-down dinner and boasts exposed wood beams, twinkle lights, elegant draping, and a gorgeous chandelier. Their outdoor space out the barn doors is great if you prefer outdoor dance or a sitting area under the stars. Lodging in the event center is reserved for all Event Barn weddings and can be booked seprately. Lodging holds 55 guests in their own private houses, cottages, and yurts. Total lodging at Paicines Ranch will hold up to 80 guests and can also be booked seprately as needed.

Our new Overlook Dining Room - This is perfect for weddings 95 or less. The modern style of this building brings new and old together in a beautiful space that overlooks the Cienega Hills. The covered patio is the best location for a cereomony and then cocktail hour for guests. Inside, you will find the Old Oak Bar stocked with local wines and some wine from our own vinyard. The beatiful tables, made from a hundred year old oak tree, are all included for set up along with the dining chairs. You will work with our wedding team to outline the perfect layout in the Dining Hall. From Pizza, hot from our pizza oven , to a plated dinner, let the chef and team work with you to create a delicous meal your guests will love. We grow all our own meat on this 7,000 acre ranch. Farm to table is what we believe in, sourcing from local organic farmers straight to our kitchen. Lodging for this space is set aside from the main Event Center and will be reserved for you and your guests as needed. The Pinnacle House, Quail Cottages, and Condor Cottages will hold up to 27 guests for your wedding, and can be booked seprately.

Couldn't have picked a more perfect place to have our wedding!

We had a lot of specific parameters for our wedding venue search - we wanted a wedding in a barn just like my parents did, there had to be flexibility in planning and end time (np proper Polish wedding ends before 10 pm!), big enough for all our guests, an emphasis on sustainability (hard to find in the wedding industry), and good options for staying on-premise. This all narrowed down to just one location - Paicines Ranch, and as soon as we pulled in to visit we knew it was perfect. The location is beautiful, the people who work there are all incredible humans and so inspiring, and they were such a joy to plan with and work with. On the wedding weekend I knew we were in good hands and that made the day all the more special and less stressful, and we already are looking forward to the next time we get to go back!

Historic Elegance Elevated for Wedding Weekend

Paicines Ranch exceeded our expectations. Emily Skow and her team are so professional and adaptable to meet every need as well as being able to put our vision to life. PR transformed their historic barn into an elegant reception with all the fine details and touched we wanted. The food was very good. We were also able to host our rehearsal dinner at the brand new dining commons and host over 55 of our closest friends for a full wedding weekend! I highly recommend Paicines Ranch.

Awesome Venue

You can not go wrong having your wedding at the Paicines Ranch. It was beautiful, romantic and elegant. We were so please with all the amenities that they had to offer. From the beautiful back drop off over looking the hills and oak trees as you get married on the plush grass area with lots of plants around. The beautiful barn that we had our reception in was decorated so elegantly with lights hanging from the ceiling with white sheer material softening the feel. The Bride and Groom table was fixed up so beautiful with sheers on the background drop with lights behind them. The accommodations for the bar and all the guest along with the desert area was adorable.

The accommodations were amazing with room to camp out, Glamping tents and rooms that are very inviting and adorable. The Grogan house was amazing as the bridal party was able to get ready with plenty of room.

Emily Skow was so professional and helpful and took care of us like her own. Amazing ideas and suggestions and her staff was awesome as well. They helped us with what ever our needs were. She is one of the best wedding planner ever. She is kind and knowledgeable and was tentative all the time.

This was one of the best weddings ever. Our guest could not say enough how awesome this wedding was.

Love you Paicines Ranch and Emily Skow

I love working with Letti and the rest of the crew at Paicines Ranch. The venue is rustic with horses and livestock roaming around, as well as historic buildings available for rental and overnight accommodations. I also like the flexibility of the ranch regarding ceremony and reception layout and timing. My Brides really appreciate being able to create their event to showcase their special touches. It's also nice that the Ranch allows the client to bring in their own caterer. I've seen everything from formal plated sit down catering to BBQ and it all works there. Letti is easy-going and "good people" and makes Ranch guests feel welcome. I always look forward to wonderful events under a starry sky at Paicines Ranch. -Patty Speirs, Every Last Detail Wedding & Event Coordination

If you want a chic-rustic ranch style venue for your wedding, I recommend taking a look at this fine venue. BTW - The whole staff at Paicines Ranch was super helpful and professional. I wish all wedding/event coordinators were as wonderful to work with, as Leticia Hain, of Paicines Ranch Event Center. She is a real Team-Player, always looking for how to make everything flow perfectly for her brides, grooms, and all the vendors at the event. A big plus, is all the fantastic spots for taking cool pictures with your photographer.
