Gorgeous location with an unbelievable sunset

The Condor's Nest Ranch did an incredible job with our wedding. We were so impressed with the beauty of the location, how many wedding vendors were included, the quality of the wedding vendors, and their attention to detail. We had such a stress-free wedding and were able to show up and enjoy our day because they took care of so much for us. So many of our wedding guests were blown away by the scenery and asked us how we found such an incredible venue. Thank you, Dave and Mel, for your help and communication throughout the entire process.

Spectacular views, amazing experience!

We had the most amazing wedding at The Condor's Nest Ranch. We rented the ranch from Thursday-Sunday and had friends, family, and some vendors stay with us on onsite - that was honestly the best part. We knew we wouldn't have a lot of one-on-one time with our friends and family during the wedding, so being able to bring them together and stay with us during the duration was one of the highlights of the weekend. Aside from the amazing property and views, our wedding day was flawless. Our guests have repeatedly said it's the best wedding they've attended. Guests are conveniently shuttled from a location of your choice (default is Pala Casino, you'll just need to pay a bit extra for another pickup spot if you want), and shuttled back at the end of the night. The guests loved being able to walk around the property before the wedding - there's refreshments, popcorn, farm animals to feed, some games (cornhole, etc), and 15 acres to explore. Highly, highly recommend this place for an amazing, yet laid back experience. The sunset views during the ceremony and cocktail hour were spectacular. All of the vendors were easy to work with, and like I stated earlier, our wedding day was flawless. Thank you, Condor's Nest Ranch and staff for the most amazing and memorable wedding experience!

One of our all time favorite venues. It's the perfect setting if you're looking for a ranch/barn style venue for your wedding. One of the great things about The Condor's Nest is that rather than launching a great venue and just leaving it at that, Bob and Lisa continue to improve and add to the venue. They love their property and it shows. We've photographed many weddings at Condor's Nest Ranch and we look forward to shooting many more!

The Condor's Nest ranch is one of our favorite venues to work with. The staff is unsurpassed on their willingness to be helpful, and everybody is kind and happy. The location is a photographers dream with literally every little nook and cranny bursting with detail. It's a beautiful place to create images that will be impactful for a lifetime. It really is one of our favorite places to photograph and we always look forward to each and every wedding we are lucky enough to do there. It never gets old. Plus with an all inclusive venue like this, you can't make a better decision to pick it to host your next event, your guests will surely thank you. I know we will!
