What a location & what a great team!

First of all the location is simply dreamy! Although I have spent quite a bit of time in Laguna Beach I just recently discovered this hidden gem. The food is delicious and Jayme and the team simply lovely to work with!

Absolute Perfection!

The Ranch at Laguna Beach exceeded all of our expectations for our daughter's recent wedding! The venue is breathtaking, the food is delicious, the service is stellar, the rooms and cottages are 5 star and the help from the catering manager, Jayme, was above and beyond everything we had hoped for. I would definitely recommend The Ranch to everyone!!

The Perfect Day

We had the most magical wedding at The Ranch in Laguna Beach! Everything about the day was perfection.
I’ve had so many guests tell me it was truly the most incredible wedding they have ever been to.
The big standouts were the beautiful location and picturesque venue (I highly recommend the Harvest Lawn for the ceremony) and amazing food! Seriously, the food here is to die for - and as a vegetarian and picky eater even I was beyond happy!
In addition, their team, from servers to the lead coordinator, are phenomenal and so professional. Jayme was incredible to work with, she got things done quickly and efficiently, and coordinated with our vendors well. Servers and all other team members went above and beyond.

Thank you to everyone at the Ranch for making our day a dream come true!
To any couple: I can not recommend a better place for the biggest day of your lives.

Amazing venue and service

My experience at the Ranch was amazing and my husband and I could not imagine a more perfect day. The entire process was easy leading up to the wedding day and everything was so smooth the day of the event from the cocktail hour to photos to dinner and dancing.

The Ranch was perfect in every way!

From the moment we stepped out of the car and walked up to the Ranch patio overlooking the valley and trees we knew we loved it. The venue is gorgeous, but the services they provide truly make this place a gem! Jayme (the events manager) is truly warm and welcoming and made planning with the Ranch so easy. She recommended our wedding planner (LanAnh at Mele Amore, who we LOVED) and they made everything come together seamlessly and smoothly. The ceremony under the trees was gorgeous, the patio is breathtaking, the food is amazing, and the staff were all so friendly and professional. Everything went seemlessly and perfectly and I never could have imagined planning such a beautiful wedding could be so easy. We had so many compliments about all of it! Thanks so much to Jayme and everyone at the Ranch!

Trust the Professionals

Jayme and the whole Ranch staff has really got your back!! My husband and I got married here in April and we were so sad when the wedding was over because our experience was the flawless. The food is amazing and the venue is beautiful. We had an amazing vendor team! Jayme and the catering chef even made a special meal to surprise my dad as an inside joke. It was so fun! From litttle touches to big things, the team are the Ranch made my day absolutely flawless. My guests keep telling me how glorious it was! If you’re thinking of getting married here, just do it! I love The Ranch!

Outstanding Service Incredible Venue

My experience at the Ranch Laguna Beach is a solid 5 stars. My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception in the Sage Ballroom and patio on January 26.
From the jump, the catering staff at the ranch has delivered excellent service. We had the opportunity to work with Jayme and Carissa to coordinate our big day. Every step of the wedding planning process went smoothly, the Ranch takes pride in offering perfect customer service.
The Ranch at Laguna beach is a hidden gem tucked in the canyon behind PCH. The grounds at The Ranch are welcoming, elegant, and beautiful.
The view from the Harvest Bar and restaurant is outstanding. Every meal we have enjoyed at the Harvest restaurant was excellent. Our menu tasting for the reception was expertly paired with wine options. Our guests have been raving about the delicious food and wine they enjoyed at our cocktail hour and dinner reception. It was a fabulous menu that delivered everything we could have dreamed of for our celebration.
The cottage two bedroom suites were the perfect accommodation to spend the weekend at the Ranch. It was the most breathtaking view to wake up to the canyon view and breathe the ocean air. The rooms are luxurious, comfortable, and relaxing. If you are a couple looking to find the perfect getaway and enjoy Orange County, look no further than The Ranch at Laguna Beach.
My husband and I will always recommend our experience at the Ranch to anyone looking for value, luxury, and coastal elegance. I can speak to the outstanding service at the valet, harvest bar and restaurant, catering staff, and housekeeping. We look forward to returning to The Ranch for many celebrations to come. Thank you to Jayme and Carissa for such a memorable celebration!

Let me begin by saying The Ranch was is the most magical place with an incredible, knowledgeable staff and breathtaking views!! Bringing guests to Laguna Beach from Florida, people said said it was the best and most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to. From when guests arrived, they were in awe by the gorgeous canyon back drop. We had our wedding ceremony on the fairway under a canopy of trees which was quiet, serene and a magical setting. The reception was on the Harvest Patio which was spectacular with cafe lighting and an old bare tree. The venue is ideal for romantic photos as there are so many bridges, green space and back drops for many different pictures. We were able to get married here outside during the summer and had the most perfect weather. Lindsey, the coordinator at the Ranch was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was attentive, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Lindsey and the chef were brought over from the Montage. Our guests raved that the food was amazing (which most people never comment on). We also stayed here the night of the wedding and our suite was two stories, two bedrooms and beautifully decorated. The prices are also affordable for the five star service, venue and scenery in Laguna. Thank you for an absolutely perfect wedding and experience!! We could not be happier!

The Ranch at Laguna Beach is an amazing venue. I would highly recommend it for any wedding or event. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but the on site catering is amazing. We had a brunch for our wedding and all of our friends and family were blown away with how good the food was and the selection we had.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
