Amazing all around!

My experience at this venue was more amazing than I ever could’ve imagined. The venue is gorgeous! The owners, coordinator, and security go above and beyond. I don’t plan on ever getting married again, but if I did, I would choose Spanish Oaks Ranch every time! 😂

Our wedding was in February… it was freezing and raining, but they have an indoor venue large enough to hold a good size party (130ish) AND the floors were heated! That made everything so much more comfortable. The waiting area upstairs was large enough for myself, my mom, and 7 bridesmaids to all get ready comfortably.

I can’t say enough about how awesome it was!

Beautiful wedding venue

My wife and I were looking for a spot to get married. Went to several wineries, and other locations, but nothing compared to this venue and its amenities. The pond is a great touch, the barn is amazing, they have great staff (Shellie and Jamie) and really amazing picture spots. A lot of friends and family said it was a the prettiest wedding they had ever been to.

Phenomenal wedding venue

We had the most beautiful and perfect wedding the the Spanish Oaks Ranch. Jamie was east to communicate with and very responsive to emails and text. She is super friendly and organized. (During COVID), she took us on a virtual tour prior to booking, and an in person tour when we visited California a month before the wedding (after vaccination).

We decided to rent for the weekend and it was the best decision! We checked at noon on Friday and got to settle down in the lovely four bedroom house. Our family brought their RVs. The rehearsal dinner lawn was manicures nicely and had strung lights for the evening. On the wedding day, the green by the barn was manicures perfectly as well. We got married by the pond and had our reception on the brick patio. Our sunset photos were amazing- they took us in a gold cart into a more secluded area. The string lights created the perfect evening vibe too! Loved this place and highly recommend it!

Above and Beyond

The moment we met Jamie and toward the property we knew this was the venue from us! Everything about it is gorgeous and what we were looking for in a venue!! Without a doubt, the best venue on the central coast. From customer service down to how the beauty of the property. Nothing will beat this place. Planning a wedding can be stressful, let alone in 2020. Jamie was extremely helpful through the entire process and answered the million questions I have. Her and her husband also own SLO party rentals and were extremely accommodating. Having the option to stay on property was huge for us, and it worked out so well. We did the dress rehearsal dinner on site and it made for such an awesome weekend. Thank you Jamie and Tom for being so gracious and allowing us to have our dream wedding through the craziness of everything.

Magical Moments at Spanish Oaks

A dream wedding at a dream location! Spanish Oaks was the most amazing backdrop for our wedding day. Jamie Jespersen and Dani were so wonderful to work with! They were there every step of the way and helped give us advice based on their experience hosting many weddings and events. My husband and I said our vows under the large trees atop the hill overlooking the pond. The sun was shining through, and it made for such a magical moment. After the ceremony, the beautiful pond, the rolling hills of the land, and the elegant front of the building provided such lovely environments to capture photos and video that we will cherish a lifetime. We chose to have our reception outside, and boy are we glad! The Spanish Oaks team was able to help us with getting enough heaters to feel comfortable, since the weather in March can be unpredictable. The bistro lights created the perfect lighting for the guests on the dance floor. I could go on and on about how amazing the venue is and how wonderful the Jespersen family are! If you are thinking of getting married on the Central Coast, choose Spanish Oaks!

Gonnion Wedding 2019

We had our absolute DREAM wedding at Spanish Oaks Ranch this August. The weather was perfect and we had the most beautiful view under the oak tree looking over their beautiful pond. They are so accommodating and Jamie was always there to answer any questions that I had in regards to the venue. This venue is amazing but truly the venue owners made it perfect. They are great people. They genuinely care about your special day and they want it to be perfect just as much as you do. We wish we could relive that day over and over. Thank you to the Jespersen family for making our wedding the best day of our lives!!

Amazing Venue

Spanish Oaks Ranch is a beautiful venue. Danielle and Jaimie were amazing to work with and made clear what the timeline to get tasks done was. The venue was amazing. Much bigger than initially thought with a lake in the background. Overall, the venue was perfect for us and completed our wedding.

Spanish Oaks was the perfect place for our rustic, outdoor June wedding! We toured many properties/venues for our big day and nothing could compare to the gorgeous fully finished barn, beautiful oak tree you get married under, bride & groom getting ready suites, and pond. Jamie was always available and able to answer all of questions. She was more than accommodating to us the whole weekend especially as hiccups came up she helped smooth them out immediately. The venue was very important to us as it was the backdrop for all those photos and videos captured. There was plenty of space that allowed us to use different areas for our ceremony to move into cocktail hour then into our seated dinner. During cocktail hour our photographer was able to take us to the pasture for photos with Jamie’s horses for amazing photos. We were able to bring all our own hard alcohol as well as coordinate with any vendors of our choosing. Tables and chairs were included as well as heaters with the pricing of the venue. We also rented the onsite 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house for our bridal party, which I would highly recommend. You can’t beat the price compared to hotel rooms. It was a huge hit amongst our friends and it allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner catered there Friday night. Overall, it is a mid range for price, but it doesn’t compare with anywhere else. I can’t recommend it enough!

Spanish Oaks Ranch is a hidden gem in San Luis Obispo! Jamie is wonderful, she made everything for planning our wedding and finding a venue easy. From renting additional items to setting up everything for us, it was all a breeze. The cost of a wedding is a lot and the value of Spanish Oaks Ranch is extraordinary. We looked at several other locations that cost more and did not offer as much as Spanish Oaks Ranch and were not as beautiful. Jamie is always available to answer questions and help when she can. The venue is stunning and all my guest raved about how beautiful it is out there. We were lucky to be able to have a very magical day at Spanish Oaks Ranch and create such amazing memories that will last a life time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

My favorite part of Spanish Oaks besides just its sheer beauty is the fact that it is easy to stroll around and well maintained but you still have that rustic, majestic nature all around. It is always a pleasure to photograph weddings at Spanish Oaks Ranch. The backdrops are post card perfect in every season and Jamie and the staff do a wonderful job to ensure that everything is in tip top shape and moving along smoothly. Also it is so nice to have an indoor area to warm up or cool off in. Be sure to check it out!
