Thank you Ojai Ranch!

My wife and I recently used The Ojai Ranch as the backdrop for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and laid-back dinner- all we can say is WOW! What an amazing property.

We had our ceremony overlooking the ojai mountains during the pink moment, cocktail hour in the front of the house, and a seated dinner in the backyard for 90 people. We had a small 2 person acoustic band and on-site pizza oven and everything fit/flowed perfectly.

Noah and Mariam (owners of the property) were also kind enough to open their home after our original venue cancelled, even creating a custom package from the one they typically offer.

We cannot thank them enough for their kindness and would highly recommend this venue!

Beware beware

The people that operate this place are flaky and WILDLY unreliable. They fail to respond to any calls or messages. We heard horror stories from people in Ojai that the venue has noise complaint issues and will sometimes cancel wedding because the city fines have gotten so high. Imagine them calling you two months before your wedding saying you have to move locations because they have too many noise complaint tickets (THIS HAS HAPPENED TO PEOPLE AT THIS LOCATION). It’s a beautiful venue but it is not worth the headache.

Stay away from ojai ranch

NOT RECOMMENDED. We were refused a refund due to COVID related cancellations (Ojai Ranch would not host due to local restrictions). Ownership ignored us for months until we threatened to sue. Then they tried to offer us a partial refund and hold onto thousands of dollars. Owned by Leap of Faith Partners LLC who eventually were ordered by the court to pay us back. We would never in a million years do business with a group like this again. We highly recommend you look elsewhere for where to spend the best day of your life.

Terrible Experience

Whatever you do, do not book this "venue"! We also were refused a refund due to COVID and ended up in court where the owner was ordered to return our deposit and we still have not seen a cent! They are unprofessional and untrustworthy and I would never recommend them to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
