    Dream Wedding Venue

    We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect venue than Hummingbird Nest Ranch for our October 5, 2024 wedding at the stunning Q Vineyard site. As a wedding planner with Jamison + Tania Events with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen many venues, but Hummingbird Nest Ranch completely stole my heart. It seamlessly combines luxury with natural beauty. The lush grounds, the serene atmosphere, and those breathtaking views of the Simi Hills in the background truly set it apart.

    We want to give a special shout-out to Erica and the entire Hummingbird Nest team for their impeccable support throughout the planning process. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and our vision came to...

    Stunning Venue

    If you're a bride looking to get married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch we 100% say go for it. As wedding photographers having worked here, the whole day is an absolute dream from start to finish. Not only does the venue have beautiful, well manicured grounds, but it's incredibly functional and convenient for everyone involved with your wedding.

    This place has it down and knows how to run weddings. We were so impressed with Hummingbird simply because they have some of the most unique grounds in all of Southern California, we photograph 30 weddings a year and nothing else compares to Hummingbird Nest Ranch. Out of the 5 different choices to hold your wedding at, our bride chose...

    Beautiful Venue

    We had a very specific vision for the type of venue we wanted for our wedding and this place exceeded them! We had already pre-decided that this was the place for us just from the images that were available online but we still wanted to see it in person and make sure it was for us. It did not disappoint the moment we got to the venue for our tour and saw it in person my husband and I knew that this definitely was the place for us! Apart from how stunning it was we really loved that we could book the venue alone without any packages as we had very specific vendors in mind for catering and so...

    Absolute Dream!

    We got married at Sitting Bull at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley. This venue is an absolute dream! The site is surrounded by beautiful trees and the gorgeous lights setup by the rental company made it even more magical. Every minute of our wedding was dreamy. The grounds, the natural decor, the stunning views- everything was so perfect. There are three main event sites within the venue to choose from, and they're all gorgeous We highly recommend!

    On June 2016 Life.Film was a providing photography and videography services for a wedding in Hummingbird Ranch.
    We had a chance to visit the venue a month prior the event and the event manager kindly showed us around and pointed the best locations for the photo session which was very helpful for our creative team.

    On the day of the wedding a bride and a groom were getting ready in the separated villas on the territory- nice rustic interior gives us opportunity to make a beautiful shoots.

    The venue is ideal for areal videography. The venue located in the Simi Valley and surround by beautiful mountains- a great background for the romantic photo session.

    Having our wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch was a dream come true! This is the most beautiful venue for a wedding. Our ceremony was held in the Olive Grove, and the reception at Sitting Bull around the pool deck. I recommend this venue highly, but you must check it out for yourself...you will fall in love!

    Hummingbird Nest Ranch was one of the most amazing places to have a wedding. Our wedding turned out to be everything we had hoped for. The venue is absolutely stunning and we get to see it everyday when we look back at our photos. We wouldn't have changed anything for the world and the greatest complement we could get is from all of our guests who have all told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I attribute a lot of this to the location. I wish we could go back and relive that day but hopefully we will be able to come back to the Ranch to celebrate an anniversary sometime in the future!

    Yes, this was a budget-buster. But it was sooooooo worth it! I don't know of ANYWHERE else like HBNR in all of Los Angeles (and I looked!).

    What I loved:
    *It's simply gorgeous.
    *There are on-site accomodations.
    *No noise curfew.
    *You can work with any vendors you want.

    Cons:
    *You have to bring EVERYTHING in. If you decide to do a wedding here, I recommend working with vendors who have done weddings there before: Jami from 24 Carrots, Bob from A Rental Connection, and Taryn Leach as your wedding planner will be your dream team!

    Honestly- you won't find anything else like it!

    Magnificent outdoor venue. We got married at the Villa site. Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They only provide you with the venue itself and you are required to use their security and valet parking. They offer preferred catering and rentals, however you may bring in your own. Everything else must be brought in: catering, rentals, liquor, flowers, music...
    You may have amplified music until 2am. They also have a few casitas on site for you and some of your guests to stay the night. You must be out by 10am the next morning typically.

    Both my partner and I came to Hummingbird Nest Ranch last year for a wedding and fell in love with the place. We agreed on the spot that this is going to be our wedding venue, but unlike the wedding we attended, we are not going to do it in summer and torture our guests with insane summer heat.

    A month later we booked Hummingbird Ranch for a late April wedding after going to visit the grounds again. Let me just say that the grounds here are absolutley amazing. Everything is so well kept, the field, the house, just everything. It was simply a perfect backdrop to our wedding and we could not be more happy that...

    i had my wedding at HNR and absolutely loved the venue. the service and communications while planning was a little shaky and nerve-racking, because there was a disconnect with bookings and with the venue coordination, but overall, i was very pleased with the venue itself.

    Read this before you sign with them

    PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING WITH THEM!!!

    we had a wedding here about a month ago in August.

    1. No grooms room as agreed because the AC was broken

    2. A/C was also broken in the bridal room when it's 100 degrees outside with 6 people inside the room, you can only imagine the heat and the sweat dripping from your forehead when you are trying to get your makeup and hair done. Thanks to them I was so sweaty from no AC situation that all my pictures in the bridal room/first look came out like I just worked out:)

    The lock was broken in the bridal room so all your valuable items inside...

    Do not make this mistake

    ATTENTION BRIDES: Do not trust this venue with what is supposed to be the most memorable, special night of your life. On August 8, I attended a close friend's wedding and my heart broke for the couple and their families. The wedding was an intimate event of about 60 guests - all socially distanced outside, equipped with masks and every single guest had tested for COVID-19 per the bride and groom's strict instructions.

    Though the venue signed a contract (I am a lawyer and have read the contract) allowing the party and not restricting dancing or having a live band, they went out of the way to ruin the evening. Multiple security guards were stationed by the...

    They are literally THIEVES

    **IMPORTANT TO READ IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A PARTY HERE**

    I've been here a few times for events. I've always thought it's pretty and a nice, blank canvas to host your dream party. However, my thoughts have drastically changed.

    Less than 2 months ago, my best friend hosted a 55-person, very COVID-safe (outdoor, social distanced) wedding. She signed a contract with Hummingbird just a couple of weeks before the wedding, all during COVID. For some UNKNOWN reason, on the MORNING of my friend's wedding, the people at Hummingbird decided to completely change the rules for her. They limited the number of people on the dance floor to 10 people at a time, they changed the...
