    Gorgeous Views for a Wedding Weekend

    My husband and I were looking for the perfect location to get married: he wanted a barn, I wanted a vineyard, we wanted a wedding weekend with a place for our bridal party and their significant others to stay. We found Greengate Ranch & Vineyard very serendipitously and it was basically fate that GGRV had our exact date open ONLY in the month of May. After viewing the grounds and all of the available locations, we were sold. Greengate is downright gorgeous. We chose the barn to have our ceremony in and had the cocktail hour outside of the barn, and we chose the stables to have our reception in. Jena was very professional and made our wedding weekend very comfortable. She knows exactly what she's doing with the property. The housing accommodations are designed to perfection and we couldn't have dreamt up a more perfect location for our wedding.

    GGRV is a Dream

    Greengate is probably the most beautiful venue I've ever come across and they made our wedding an absolute dream. The team onsite is so communicative and helpful, they run the venue so well. I can't recommend them enough.

    The best weekend we could ask for!

    Jena made our wedding weekend one we will never forget. Greengate was the most accommodating venue for our family and wedding party. To have everyone stay on the property was all we ever wanted but the venue gave us so much more than that. The quality of the houses were top notch. We will be back through VRBO. Stunning houses, stunning venue for our wedding! Thank you!

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Thank you so much for the complimentary review, Ally! We loved having you and your families for the weekend to celebrate and can't wait to see you back again for a stay :)

    Sending my best,
    Jena

    The wedding of our dreams!

    Thank you to the incredible staff at Greengate for a phenomenal wedding weekend. Jenna was especially wonderful and answered our numerous question/visits like a champ and with kindness. We are most grateful for your support and guidance through the entire planning process. Thank you, thank you!

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Alex, thank you so very much for the sweet words! We loved having you and Asher stay with us and celebrate with us. Please come back and visit!

    The best decision we made for our entire wedding process was picking Greengate Ranch as our venue. It is one of the most well run establishments I have ever come across and is absolutely stunning. My husband and I went to Cal Poly and wanted to get married back where we met years (many many many years) ago. Start to finish, GGRV was easy to work with and incredibly communicative. Jena runs an amazing operation and has put together an absolutely amazing vendor list to work with. We ended up booking the venue from Thursday to Sunday and then just the Bridle Suite until Monday. We had our entire bridal party stay onsite across the 4 homes. The homes have a 5 star resort feeling (unbelievable interior design followed by views in every direction). Jena and team were very flexible and allowed my husband and I to store and drop of wine and beer on Wednesday evening so that it wouldn't get spoiled in the hot sun while we spent a night in Shell Beach. They made the check in and check out process extremely easy. For 35K for the entire Thurs-Mon experience, it was money well worth it and well spent. We used the lawn of the ranch house for Friday morning yoga to kick off the festivities. Our rehearsal dinner was a 50 person dinner at one long table down the stunning horse stables. We had our ceremony waterfront down by the pond. Our wedding reception, party, and cocktail hour was by the walnut tree, and barn area (perfect for our 230 person guest list). We hosted an afterparty up at the ranch house service late night quesadillas and tacos (thank you Field to Table) and keeping the dance party going, and Lastly-- we spent our entire sunday (and friday for that matter) laying out at the amazing pool arena, BBQ'ing, playing bocce, and enjoying the fire pits. Our family and friends who flew in from all over the country were amazed by Greengate, the beauty, and the magic that it creates. Thanks for such an amazing wedding experience.

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Mona, thank you so very much for sharing the kind words! You, Ryan, and your families and friends were such a pleasure to have. We are so glad to hear you had such an amazing weekend. Thank you for using Greengate to the fullest and sharing your wedding weekend with us!

    Getting married at GGRV is an absolute dream. It goes without saying that the venue is stunning and the care and love the owners put into the property is second to none. Beyond that, the team at GGRV is above and beyond anything we could have imagined. They are kind, patient, responsive, accommodating, helpful - everything you could ever want and then some! We rented out the venue for a full weekend and hosted both our welcome dinner and Sunday brunch in addition to the wedding festivities and it really felt like we were getting married in our home. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how picture perfect the venue was. It's honestly difficult to put into words how amazing this venue is - check it out for yourself and you will not be disappointed! :)

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Erin, we cannot thank you enough for the kind words!! We are so glad you chose us as your venue, and it was such a pleasure getting to chat with you over the months leading up to your weekend here. Thank you for sharing Greengate Ranch & Vineyard with your friends and family and allowing us to be a part of your celebration. We hope we get to see you and Pete again!

    Greengate is incredible! We got married there about a month and a half ago and are so thankful we found it and were able to book it in time! We got engaged last Thanksgiving and a week later headed down to SLO to check out various venues. We ended up at Greengate at the end of the day as a last stop, and the second we got to the top of the driveway, we already knew. In fact, the moment we got into the car after the tour, I got choked up just envisioning all our close friends and family there with us on the property, particularly the fact that so many could stay with us for the entire weekend. It's an incredibly gorgeous, special space. Our entire wedding party and my family stayed on the property which is what made it so perfect. The houses are GORGEOUS, top notch, first class, yet comfortable and totally "home-y" and cozy. We had a dinner on the back patio of the main ranch house Thursday night for our wedding party and family, and then had friends and family in and out the rest of the weekend. And the actual wedding ceremony under the walnut tree with the reception in the barn after was AMAZING. We honestly didn't even have to do much in the way of decor because it's so beautiful as is. We feel so incredibly lucky that we were able to book Greengate in time, it truly made the day as special as it was. Thank you, Greengate and Corinne, for providing such an amazing property for our wedding!!

    We couldn't have been happier with Greengate Ranch as our wedding venue!! So many great things to say about them!

    1. Perfect place to host a wedding weekend, not just a wedding day! We live in LA, but wanted a convenient central location for all our family and friends to gather for our wedding. Greengate was perfect. We had the ranch Thurs-Sun. All of our immediate family was able to stay with us on the Ranch for the whole weekend. And we chose to host a welcome reception for all our wedding guests there at the main ranch house the day before the wedding, so that we could have extra time with everyone who traveled in. The ranch house couldn't have been better for that purpose; it's built for entertaining large groups.

    2. They have back up options in case of rain! We had initially planned on having our ceremony by the pond, but it ended up raining on our wedding day. So we had our ceremony in the stables, instead. It was actually perfect! Very intimate and unique.

    3. The staff are easy to work with, and let you make your wedding unique. We'd toured so many venues that had all sorts of rules and extra fees. Greengate let us do everything we wanted! There was no extra fee for starting the ceremony earlier in the day. Our dogs were able to be with us the whole weekend. We were able to throw confetti at our wedding ceremony (as long as it was biodegradable). We were allowed to use a trackless train on the property to get guests from the parking area to the ceremony site and back to the reception. And they were cool with us using the lawn for a carnival cocktail hour. The only rule was no amplified music after 10, so everyone has to be out of the barn by then - but they suggest moving the party to the main ranch house as a substitute.

    4. Greengate is absolutely breathtaking. The pond, the vineyards, the barn, the houses... everything is gorgeous and makes for great photos!

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Wow Rachel! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We will always remember your wedding weekend - it was amazingly personal and so much fun. Thank you so much for choosing Greengate, it was a complete honor to have you get married and spend the weekend with us!

    Greengate Ranch made my wedding weekend the best weekend of my life with the most amazing memories. My husband and I knew we wanted to have a wedding where family flying in from all over would be able to spend time with each other and us so staying on the property for the weekend was a must. Greengate fit just that idea and more. We rented the property for the weekend last July and hosted our rehearsal dinner in the back of the ranch house and it couldn't have been any more beautiful or any more perfect of a spot to host a dinner. Our wedding day was so perfect with a beautiful setup under a walnut tree and a gorgeous reception in the barn but the vineyards and the pond provided such beautiful backdrops! We had the most spectacular sunset in our day, too, and having the ability to travel up to the top for pictures was so perfect. The only downfall is that the barn has to close at 10!! So we moved the reception up to the ranch house!!!

    A huge plus is that greengate includes so many things from tables and chairs to heaters to ample power to clean, non portable bathrooms. The staff were so respectful of us staying on the property, out of our way but accessible and accommodating when needed! They were there to make our lives easier and stress free. I would highly recommend greengate to any bride!!

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Thanks K & J! We were so honored to host your wedding weekend and to be a part of your history. We truly meet the most remarkable couples and love what we do here. We will continue working hard at providing a great experience for our guests. Please come back and see us!

    For any newly engaged couple finding the right venue can be dreadful, yet not with Greengate Ranch & Vineyard! Once you walk onto their property it feels like home. My husband and I fell in love with the restored barn and all the property had to offer. We were looking for a little retreat away from all the hustle and bustle a wedding bring and this GEM was the diamond in the ruff.

    All the staff were awesome to work with and truly went above and beyond to make your day special. The Estate Ranch House was truly like walking into an upscale magazine featured home! The decor was on point and all my guest's completely loved the fact we could all stay in one location to the most out of this occasion! You can not go wrong with this location it has so much to offer and is perfectly located just outside of San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach.

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words - not sure which lovely wedding this was, but it is such a pleasure to host our brides & grooms along with their friends and family for the weekend. We hope you'll come back and celebrate again!

    Greengate Ranch and Vineyard is truly a dream location. It is located in the most gorgeous valley in the Central Coast and has 360 views. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful it was everywhere you looked and our pictures are incredible! My husband and I am so grateful to the ranch for taking such good care of us and for how helpful they were throughout the whole wedding planning process. Kelsey really went above and beyond for us -- especially the weekend of our wedding as she was basically on-call the whole time to help with anything we needed. The staff takes such great care of the whole property and there was really not even a leaf out of place!

    We had our ceremony in the backyard of the Ranch House with it's breathtaking views. It really set the tone for the whole wedding. And of course, we had our Reception in the Vintage Barn, which not only has so much character, but it was built to be functional for a wedding. When my husband and I were touring barn venues, we found that a lot of them lacked the necessities -- accessable power, solid ground, lighting, bathrooms, kitchen, etc -- but Greengate's Vintage Barn has all the charm of an old barn but the functionality of hotel venue.

    And to top it all off, the 2 houses on the property are available for rent, so our whole family was able to stay on the property with us and we were able to get ready there so we had so much freedom. We got to have a full wedding weekend with all of our friends and family who traveled there.

    If you're looking for a dream rustic wedding, then Greengate is your place!

    Thank you for the kind words Emily! Such an honor to host your beautiful wedding weekend and celebration here at our property. Thank you for having us be a part of the festivities!

    Beautiful venue. Lots of great options for where to host different events during your wedding weekend. They keep making improvements like building new houses on site and even just added a pool. Everything looks fantastic.

    I knew, as soon as I stepped foot onto Greengate's property, that I had found the perfect place for our dream wedding. And, boy, do I love being right! :)

    The property is stunning. Our wedding was at the beginning of November, and the foliage on the trees and in the vineyards were beautifully golden, perfect for our autumn wedding. The lawns were also gorgeous and green (my favorite color). I was a nervous bride, and I woke up every morning around 5am. But I would sit outside in the crisp morning air, and calm myself by gazing at the beautiful rolling vineyards and listen to the lovely breeze blowing through the branches of the pepper trees.

    The bridal party and some of our closest friends and family stayed on the property, and all of them marveled at how it was like staying at a luxury resort! All of the houses were so comfortable, and provided such a great space for our welcome party and all the last-minute wedding prep. I and the bridesmaids had our hair and makeup done in the Yosemite Room in the Ranch House. Plenty of space and beautiful space to hang out with my girls!

    We took our family portraits in the backyard of the Ranch House, had our ceremony at the pond, and our reception in front of and inside the beautiful barn. The property offered so much variety for the different elements of our special day, and our guests loved it. The catering/food prep area was conveniently located near the dining area, and we set up the bar under the walnut tree (which had mason jar candles hanging from the branches). There was a restroom very conveniently located nearby the dining area as well. It's a perfectly designed venue.

    Corinne and her staff are wonderful. Corinne always responded very promptly to my many questions throughout the many months of planning. And the staff who helped us throughout the wedding weekend (especially Jenna!) were always available to help us and our guests with anything. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    I'm not sure that there is a more beautiful place for a wedding in the Central Coast. We didn't want to quintessential wedding and were optimizing for being able to really spend time with our friends, family and guests who were traveling from so far to celebrate with us over the course of 3 days. We wanted a place that could comfortably fit 30 people for sleeping and allow for people to come in and out of the property throughout the weekend. We couldn't have picked a better place. The quality of EVERYTHING at GGRV is top notch. The beds, the linens, the kitchens, the grounds, the furniture the decor, etc. etc. it's out of a luxury hotel. Our guests so loved the place that we ended up having an impromptu football party on Saturday in the big game room after our Friday night wedding. We had unexpected rain on Thursday night and what was supposed to be an outdoor party was moved inside last minute. Even with 110 people we fit comfortably in the beautiful Ranch House. Corinne and her staff were attentive and helpful throughout the process and the weekend. Thank you to GGRV for hosting us not just for our wedding but for several weekends of planning. We are forever grateful for your hospitality.

    The venue is unbelievably gorgeous, but the customer service needs improvement. They threw a Christmas Barn Soiree the night before our wedding, while we were staying there, and made us feel like difficult and frugal customers for having an intimate wedding with only 18 people.

    Greengate Ranch & Vineyard's reply:

    First, we sincerely apologize for our guest's disappointment in their experience at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard. Whether a wedding of 18 or 500 - it is our endeavor that each couple enjoys their stay and overall experience at our property, as the rest of our reviews here on WeddingWire & Yelp indicate.

    The bottom line for us is that this guests wanted access to areas that were not agreed to in her signed agreement with us - proceeded to set up her wedding where we had asked her not to and was disrespectful to management and the terms of her signed agreement. As her agreement was for a VRBO rental and not for our wedding package and included sites we felt taken advantage of and disrespected.

    We wish Chelise and her groom all the very best and only feel badly that we was unhappy with what she agreed to and paid for, which we delivered beautifully. We did our best to accommodate her demands and allowed pictures throughout the property on the day of her wedding. She did gather enjoyment from our beautiful property as the pictures clearly show: slotography.com/josh-che…
