Beautiful venue!

We recently celebrated our wedding on October 26th at The Brothers Ranch. The venue is SO lush and beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for our big day. The ceremony space is so peaceful, romantic, and well-maintained, and the reception space provides a wonderful indoor-outdoor vibe with plenty of space to accommodate large events. The owners, Jon and Jess, were quick to communicate and happy to help in any way they could.

Beautiful Venue and Amazing Hosts

Seriously the hottest up-and-coming venue in the entire Monterey Bay area - where the beautiful and unique grounds are only the surface! Every aspect of the venue has been carefully thought out to accommodate the wedding party, guests, and vendors perfectly. The tropical foliage of the ceremony lawn offered a stunning backdrop for our vows (plus the sweet scent that wafts from nearby strawberry fields). The reception area was the perfect size and layout for our guests to eat, drink, play games, and dance throughout the night - cozy but spacious at the same time. Brothers Ranch was so beautiful and so well designed that we really didn’t need many of our own decorations. Also a huge plus for us was having access to the space for the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday) so we had plenty of time for setup and we didn’t have to worry about cleanup at the end of our wedding night!

But the true heart of this venue is Jessie and Jonathan Brothers. More gracious hosts than venue owners, they helped us every step of the way to have an amazing and stress-free wedding. They both went above and beyond running around the whole weekend handling all of the little details to provide a seamless experience for us and our guests, from giving golf cart rides between the reception and ceremony spaces to rolling out heaters after sundown.

So a big thank you to Jessie and Jonathan and definitely book Brother Ranch - the best venue in all of Monterey Bay for an amazing, beautiful, stress-free, and super fun wedding!

The most beautiful venue!

We can’t thank Jonathan and Jessie enough for all of their help and guidance throughout the process of planning for our wedding! They are kind, patient, and such lovely individuals. Their responsiveness to our questions was great. The work they have put into The Brother’s Ranch makes it one of the most beautiful outdoor venues I have been too. All of our guests loved every part of it. Having our wedding at their ranch was one of the best decisions we could have made. I highly recommend this venue to everyone!
