The Brothers Ranch is the best wedding venue in the Santa Cruz county area. My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married here in April 2024 and I wish we could do it all over again with this venue and team! From the first convo, Jessie and Jonathan Brothers made it clear they were there to support us in anyway they could. They were flexible, polite and really went above and beyond thru the entire process. The venue is gorgeous and speaks for itself. The vendor list was extremely helpful. And it is such a nice feeling to tell other vendors that you’re getting married here and their first response is “oh I love them!” that was the response we had every single time. I am so happy we were able to start our marriage here and we have new friends from it all!

The grounds are unique, striking, and comfortable, but the thoughtful and helpfulness of the Brothers' team is really amazing. Super flexible about set up and take down, genuine people who made the process so much lower stress and easier than other venues considered. Our guests loved the venue and we would come back for parties or other group events in a heartbeat.

My wife and I feel so incredibly blessed to have had our wedding at the Brothers Ranch. We truly could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding with this venue’s natural and serene beauty. After touring 5 venues, Brothers Ranch was the only venue that met all of our needs. We were very hands-on with our wedding planning and intentional with all of our details, which made Brothers Ranch an easy choice as our venue.

The venue has a wonderful modern barn, complete with a bar that has a commercial ice machine, a relaxing lounge area, and a dance floor big enough for an indoor reception (if weather doesn’t cooperate). The big open reception lawn feels like a paradise with all the bamboo, flowers, and overall greenery. Though they provide a vendor list, we practically had free range in choosing all the vendors we wanted to work with, which not all venues allow. This was important to us because our wedding was too special to have a venue dictate which vendors we should work with. In addition, this allowed us to choose vendors within our budget. We were able to decorate the venue the day before, have the venue practically the whole day on our wedding day, and picked up our belongings and decor the day after (which was so nice because we were very tired by the end of our wedding that we couldn’t pack everything). Our guests also had nothing but praises for the venue.

Saving the best for last, this glowing review would not be complete without our words of appreciation for Jessie and Jonathan. What a team! They were so responsive and very accommodating right from the start when we did our first venue tour. They were a big reason for why we chose the venue and it makes us happy to support a business owned by such kind and warm people. Our guests appreciated and had fun getting driven around on the Mule cart - SO CLUTCH! Thank you Jonathan! One more thing, if Jessie or Jonathan offer you to have their cute goats crash your wedding, just do it! It was not something we thought about doing, but we’re so happy that we did, our guests certainly had a blast with them!
