I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was pure magic. Our whole wedding was absolutely perfect. We were married in the Wine Cellar and had the reception in the Wine Cellar outside area under the twinkle light oak trees. Our guest said the food and wine was the best wedding food they have ever had and the service was incredible. Mauricio was on top of everything and made the whole night run smoothly. The location and grounds could not have set a more perfect scene for our romantic garden wedding.

We could not have asked for a better venue than San Ysidro for our small reception dinner. It was absolutely perfect in every way. The food was incredible and the ambiance beautifully elegant and casual all at the same time. Loved every minute of our dinner reception.

San Ysidro Ranch is one of the premier wedding locations in Santa Barbara. They offer an elite level of service along with food and beverage. I always look forward to working at the ranch because I know the team there aims to exceed each guests' expectations. The wedding we worked together on went so smoothly and the team at SYR was a huge asset. Our wedding was an intimate gathering in the wine cellar and patio but with so many stunning locations on property to choose from, the sky is the limit! I would recommend them to anyone!

Our dream wedding venue. Everything ran so smoothly; from the coordinators to the servers, the entire staff gave excellent service throughout the wedding. Obviously the gorgeous venue doesn't hurt the atmosphere either! Wish we could go back and do it again!

We love SYR to begin with, little did we know Maxine and her team would help create the most spectacular wedding event for us. Maxine always made herslef available and had a close eye on the details we had requested. The ranch staff was superb, kind, professional, and ensured that whatever we and/or our guests needed was but a minute away. We thank you all for creating the most memorable day, our wedding day, flawless and for ensuring the grounds were so prestine (as ususal)! THE place to get married if you want an intimate, detailed and amazing day. As one of our guests stated "This is heaven on earth."

There are not enough stars in the sky to rate this extraordinary place! San Ysidro Ranch is a dream come true. Maxine and her team are absolutely incredible. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, the pastry chef created the wedding cake of our dreams, and every step of the planning process here was an absolute delight. SYR allowed us to have an intimate and deeply personal event that was uniquely "us." Although they do not require that you use their vendors, they also provided a list of referrals that was spot on.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Words cannot describe how perfect SYR is for a intimate private wedding.

We had our dinner in the wine room at San Ysidro Ranch and our family was stunned when they walked in. One of them said this is something you would see only on the Bachelor.

Location and decor- Breathtaking and really needs minimal extras to make it stunning. We only added votives and flowers to our table and otherwise it was the simple beauty of SYR.

Event Staff- Working with Dodie to book our event and finalize our contract was so effortless and took all the stress out of the wedding dinner. I am a very OCD type person and I was put at ease knowing they would do a spectacular job. I finalized the day of details with Maxine and she was so sweet and easy to work with. She made sure no detail was overlooked and made sure everything stayed on schedule the day of our wedding.

Food- my brother described it as "I have never had anything so heavenly in my mouth." Everyone loved their meals and the staff accommodated all of the dietary needs of our group. The food was so spectacular there are not even words to describe how great it was. The sea bass was melt in your mouth delicious.

Wait Staff- Jamie and Velanya were our servers and were BEYOND AWESOME. They accommodated our groups dietary needs and kept everything running smoothly. I catered weddings for 15 years and I would say they are the best of the best. Thank you for making our event perfect.

We stayed at the Lilac Cottage and held our ceremony there. It was better than we could have imagined, the service was fabulous, they assisted in finding our officiant, they catered, recommened our bakery and florist, and we had our dinner afterward at the restaurant-also incredible.
They provided us with a great wedding story; while we were at dinner, the staff tried to light a fire in the fireplace for us, but previous staff had closed the flue. We returned to a smokin' cottage. They immediately moved us to the The Kennedy Cottage at no cost to us, took all our sutff there, even scattered our rose petals on the bed for us! It was unforgettable!!

I really like the environment of the ranch. And the best thing of holding a wedding over there is that they only accommodate one wedding per day!!!

Maxine and Sarah were such an amazing help! They were there every step of the way and always available to answer questions and show us rooms or let us view the property. It need not be said that the service is superb and the venue is stunning! Everything was perfect and they were very accommodating and welcoming. We cannot wait to go back to visit!

The only downside is that they don't negotiate on what they offer. I was a little disappointed that after paying to rent 3 different spaces on the property that they would not give us a break on a 4th space that we wanted to add on, even though they could not offer it to anyone else, and it went unused. I think that it worked out in the end but was a little bit of a bummer considering we were spending so much money.
