    The best day of our lives!

    We had 200-250 person Indian American Fusion wedding here. The venue was spectacular! It was beautiful, the staff was great, and we were able to use the outdoor space for our ceremony and indoor space for our reception.

    Ebi is amazing!!

    Through our interactions I was able to tell Ebi is very detail orientated, knowledgeable, reliable, passionate and available to help or talk about any aspect of the wedding at any time I needed him. Ebi went above and beyond in helping me and my husband plan our magical/dream wedding. Our vendors, family and friends raved about how beautiful everything was put together. And I can not thank Ebi enough for bringing it all together. If it wasn’t for his help or guidance we wouldn’t have been able to find all the vendors that we had.

    The day of the wedding, Ebi made sure our vendors arrived on time, set up on time and made sure our timeline from ceremony to reception was on time. He greeted us with the biggest smile on his face and was so excited to show us the set up. We were truly amazed by it all. He also made sure our bridal and groom room was ready for us to be comfortable in. He was by our side the entire night and made sure everything was perfect, which it was.

    Planning a wedding can be a bit stressful especially during covid and we were a bit concerned with the covid rules and regulations because we wanted both an indoor and outdoor wedding with 200+ people. Ebi communicated with us every single week if there were any changes in their tiers from the governors and county with how many people we were able to have. He gave us hope in knowing we would be able to accommodate why we originally wanted for our guest count.

    The location was absolutely stunning, our ceremony was right in front of the gazebo followed by our cocktail hour on top of the Terrance with our reception being indoors. We really liked how we were able to use different spaces to make it look different. We had the glass doors open which made it very elegant as well.

    Thank you so much Ebi for everything you did!

    Orcc + felicia made our wedding dreams possible

    My husband and I got married at Old Ranch Country Club in July of 2019. It was the most magical day for us! It was perfect because of Old Ranch Country Club and Felicia (ORCC Private Events Director). The venue is absolutely STUNNING. The golf course views are spectacular and the lake in the middle is breathtaking! Aside from the natural beauty of ORCC, Felicia played a huge role in how flawless the experience was. She was truly the most genuine, caring, and compassionate events director. She responded promptly to my MANY emails. She took time to explain everything in detail when we met in-person and always spoke with such grace and poise. She's so incredibly sweet and did everything in her power to meet us where we were at. Felicia, if you are reading this: thanks for all the forks

    Perfection all the way around!

    We looked at a LOT of locations for our wedding and Old Ranch felt like the best fit for us. Not only was it the most accommodating (we had an extremely intimate ceremony/reception) and had the best value, but it was a beautiful location too.

    We could not have asked for a better person to work with than Sofia. She was super responsive, helpful and made every step of planning our wedding really easy. We are so grateful that we were able to work with Sofia and that we had such a beautiful wedding at Old Ranch.

    Oh and we can't forget to mention how great the food was. I hoped the food would be good but everything was fantastic. You would expect the tasting to be good (and it was), but our actual reception was as good if not better. The chefs had a lot to contend with as our family has severe food allergies, but everything was delicious, nobody got sick and our guests commented how impressed they were by the food.

    Old Ranch was just the perfect place to have our wedding ceremony and reception and we couldn't be more pleased.

    Wonderful experience

    We had such a wonderful experience with this vendor. Sofia was so helpful and she really helped us through. My wife kept making last minute changes but she always kept her cool and was super professional and was able to pull through with everything. The venue was also really gorgeous and we really recommend coming to this place! Thank you for everything!

    great location for wedding/reception!

    We chose Old Ranch because they had a very nice location with a gazebo overlooking a pond/golf course and had the open feeling with the unobstructed sky behind. Their wedding packages were very competitive. We are so happy to have had our wedding here. Everything went so well!

    Old Ranch Country Club's reply:

    Thanks Phil! Your wedding was absolutely stunning, and had the most gorgeous details. Thank you for letting us be apart of your special day!

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    When looking for a Wedding venue, I did not want to have to worry about anything but getting married on my special day. From start to finish Old Ranch handled everything! We attended a Wedding Vendor Expo at Old Ranch where we could talk with and interview several different vendors for every aspect of our wedding. We found our Officiant, Florist, Bakery, DJ, and Invitations at this expo and our day was perfect! Our wedding consultant at Old Ranch, Felicia and her associates, could not have been more, helpful, professional or attentive. I had some last minute requests and received a "no problem" from Felicia. Veronica, was on hand the day of to make sure the bridal party was comfortable, dressed and ready to go, including me. She had her eyes on everything so it all ran smoothly. If you are looking for a "no worry" day for a reasonable price, check out Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. Beautiful outside gazebo and spacious reception ballroom. Highly recommend!

    Old Ranch Country Club's reply:

    Thank you Thoma + Chuck! We just loved being apart of your wedding. We're all still marveling on that special first dance!

    Felicia is the best!

    Felicia is lovely. She made our wedding ceremony and reception experience exactly what we wanted. I loved working with her to plan our wedding at Old Ranch—she made it easy! Of course the venue is simply gorgeous and the food turned out even better than we expected. Thank you so much Felicia! I definitely recommend this venue and the wonderful event planning staff!

    Old Ranch Country Club's reply:

    Sandra you are too sweet! We absolutely loved working with you, Marvin and of course Mario to create your perfect day! Thank you so much for letting us be apart of your special day! Best wishes!

    We had my daughter's Quinceañera at Old Ranch Country Club almost 2 weeks ago and it was amazing! We worked with Andrea. She was great from the very first meeting. My daughter loved the venue as soon as we drove up for the first meeting. Andrea's welcoming manner and the reasonable prices are what sealed the deal. We visited other venues where the venue was nice but they lacked in customer service. Old Ranch has it all... beautiful venue, gorgeous view, delicious food, and a great staff. Andrea answered every question I had along the way and there were a lot. The staff on the day of the event were all great! The food was so yummy! We received so many compliments about the food. Thanks again Andrea and the entire staff for making this day happen. My daughter loved everything!!

    Thank you Gaby!! Hope to see you and the family again for the next family party!!

    We had our dream wedding at Old Ranch Country Club!! From the gorgeous scenery to the amazing staff, my husband and I feel like we hit the jackpot when we picked this venue. We really did our research to find a venue that was in Southern California and wasn’t going to drain our bank account, and Old Ranch was our perfect fit. Not only did it have a free and convenient huge parking lot for our guests, it was great being able to have our ceremony and reception all at one location, and it was very easy for our more elderly guests to get around the venue. Neither of us had planned a wedding before, and naturally the journey can be very stressful at times. Andrea (and the rest of the event team) went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and help us come up with fun ideas all in a timely manner. Whenever I would email or call her, Andrea always responded immediately with positivity and professionalism, we loved her so much! We met with Andrea several times throughout the planning process and she really made the planning easy for us by giving us timeline suggestions and a list of preferred vendors. Besides the amazing planning help, the team set up the reception decor exactly how I dreamed it would be. I really didn’t stress about anything the day of because I knew that they would take care of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. We had our own bridal attendant, Veronica, who was with us for the entire wedding day and night and literally got us anything we needed. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and many of our guests raved about how much fun they had and how gorgeous it was to overlook the golf course during the wedding ceremony and reception. Lastly, the servers and wait staff were so professional and quick when serving dinner to our 200 guests. If you’re looking for a venue who is able to coordinate so much for you, Old Ranch is your place. I did not have to hire a private wedding coordinator because Andrea planned everything for us! Thank you!!<3

    We got married here on the morning of Saturday October 15, and still can't get over how perfect our day was!

    Me and my husband opted for a morning/daytime wedding with both ceremony and reception. If you are thinking of going the daytime route, just know there aren't too many options in the area that are as inclusive and thoughtful in their packages as Old Ranch is for a daytime option.

    VENUE: This place is absolutely stunning in photos, in person and all surprisingly at an affordable price! The location is centrally located in between Orange County and LA, and mere steps away from the Ayres Hotel Seal Beach, which makes it really convenient for any out of town guests.

    The venue is located right off the 405/22 freeways, but not sure what sort of wizardry they perform there because once you're on property you don't even see or hear a freeway and barely remember you're in Seal Beach.

    Free Parking! Although this is a private country club, they have an "Events Entrance" side, with ample free parking for your guests once you drive in off Basswood.

    Unlike some other reviewers, we didn't have any problems with loud kids in the pool because they said they close the pool off during the ceremony.

    For an additional fee, you can opt to have your cocktail hour on their terrace, which I HIGHLY recommend (especially if good weather), because the views of the golf course are gorgeous and offers your guests some fresh air.

    They have both a Bridal Suite and a Grooms Suite, which they provide water in before the ceremony, and snacks and drinks afterwards, which offer your bridal party a place to relax beforehand. Just note - if there's an evening wedding afterwards, you have to vacate early to allow the next wedding bridal party. Old Ranch was able to accommodate, by bringing our stuff to a secure room upstairs. Also, because there's no restroom in the bridal suite, some of your guests might see you when you book it to the public restroom through the side door.

    Old Ranch Country Club's reply:

    Thank you Elaine!! Can't believe how time flies! We still love looking at your wedding photos and reminiscing the day!

    The event team is truly awesome! The amount of flexibility, responsiveness, and accommodations to make our day special made the planning process so much easier. I was never once stressed when communicating with the private events coordinator , Andrea Gonzalez! She knew exactly what she was doing and was extremely organized. Anyone who is thinking about having their wedding at this venue will definitely have no regrets!

    Thank you for your kind words. We absolutely adore our couples and are glad it shows!!

    I dealt mostly with Alyssa, as she was my coordinator at the Old Ranch Country Club. She was THE best, responsive and caring. The whole staff at the ORCC was great. If I could get married again (to the same man, of course) I wouldn't change my venue.
