The best venue with the most helpful and supportive staff! The venue will make your day feel nothing short of magic.

It was truly the best experience to have our wedding at Rancho San Antonio. We and our guests cannot stop raving about it! It is so magical in the hills and under the ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard. Not to mention the family that owns it is so supportive and just the best people!

Dream Come True

Rancho San Antonio was one of the best choices we ever made for our wedding! The inclusivity of items offered, full creative control alongside Bobbie, and being able to hand pick vendors made it seamless to pull off our wedding. Being locals we wanted to be in a place that felt like home and that represented us as a couple. And we still get compliments about how amazing this place is. We highly recommended Bobbie, her family, and crew for anyone’s wedding events! I would do it all over again if I could.

Rancho San Antonio is truly the best

From the very beginning Bobbi and Gabrielle were so responsive and professional, getting back to us on dates and sending us contracts and being flexible with when we could tour the property. Everything was beautiful the day of and they were so involved every step of the way. They are flexible and have a ton of cute stuff to make sure your dream vision comes true. I cannot recommend Rancho San Antonio enough. Everyone was complimenting me on our venue choice after the wedding. Also, every silly over the top idea I had when I asked if they thought it was ridiculous their response was how do we make this happen. Truly the best.
