Words can not describe how very special and beautiful this venue is!

There is something extra special here, I can't explain it, Besides the beauty, the old historical oak tree, all the hard work & love put into every piece of decor. Bobbi & her daughter Gabrielle made this day more special than I could have ever imagined it could be. The love, kindness, accommodating & care is BIG! and you feel it as soon as you drive in. My daughters wedding, looked & felt like it was out of a movie & too good to be true. Thank you thank you, for everything' from the bottom of my heart Bobbi & Gabrielle for making my Daughters dream come true & for the most special amazing Wedding Day I've ever experienced. Though it was my daughters wedding, all who attended are still raving about how beautiful & special it was.

The best choice we made for our wedding was choosing Rancho San Antonio for our venue. Bobbie and Jeni are such a joy to work with and go waaaayy above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly- all the way from the beginning stages of planning up until the wedding day. They are genuine, caring and beyond helpful. Not to mention that their ranch is one of the most beautiful places you can find!! Our guests could not stop commenting on the atmosphere of the ranch and the barns. Seriously, best wedding venue in the area!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
