Sarah M. Sent on 05/18/2024BEST VENUE on the Central Coast!
If you are looking for rustic charm with ocean views, look no further than Swallow Creek Ranch! My husband and I were married in their Seaview Meadow this past weekend, which looked beautiful with the blooming flowers/plants amidst the eucalyptus trees and partial ocean view behind the arbor. We were able to take sunset photos at their Hilltop ceremony site, and the photos are TO DIE FOR! The venue managers and owners were professional, flexible, wonderful, and so easy to work with. This venue is also very dedicated to sustainability/eco-friendly practices to ensure minimal waste is created. Additionally, we were able to have access to the venue for the whole weekend, which made set-up and break-down much less stressful than other venues in the area. This allowed us to host a large rehearsal dinner at the venue for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Their wedding package includes so many extra elements (tables, seating, draping, etc.) that saved us thousands. I cannot say enough nice things about this venue, and the photos speak for themselves!!! Get married here!!! -

My husband, Matt, and I have been talking about getting married at Swallow Creek Ranch since before we got engaged -- it just seemed like the most beautiful setting in the most perfect place (right above Villa Creek, where we've watched many sunsets!). So, when we got engaged, it was our obvious first choice, and we ended up getting married there last week (8/19/2023). Our wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch was even better than I could've imagined -- of course the scenery was absolutely gorgeous, but we were also so grateful to have Jonna and Reid overseeing everything on our wedding day. They truly made us feel so welcome and celebrated, and helped us so much throughout the process, from our initial venue tour last year to clean-up the day after the wedding. We picked all of our vendors from their suggested list and it made the day go so smoothly, since everyone knew Jonna/Reid and the venue. All in all, it was the perfect day, and all of our guests couldn't stop gushing about the venue. I would recommend Swallow Creek Ranch to anyone hoping to get married on the Central Coast!Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Thanks Fran! It was such a pleasure seeing your wedding dream come true at the ranch. We truly love what we do! It is always extra fun to meet and work with a local couple too. Hope you come visit us when you go to Villa Creek to watch the sunset! -

Giavanna B. Sent on 01/28/2023The perfect venue
I have been to countless venues for catering events and having this venue for our wedding was incredible. Jonna and her team were so helpful and professional. Their kindness and flexibility made our weekend extremely easy and low stress which is a relief after all the planning! They made sure everything went smoothly and the place was absolutely beautiful. The hill top view was impeccable and the garden was perfect for photos. The barn was a blast as it had great space for a dance floor and was easy to move around in. It stayed warm with the heaters provided and it was also very wonderful to have bathrooms inside of the barn. Everything was very clean and tidy and we loved the outdoor space to be able to take a break and grab a drink! Highly recommend this venue due to its gorgeous location and ease of service. A lot is provided to you and they definitely make it a fun easy experience.Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Thanks Giavanna! We loved ending our season with your beautiful Fall wedding. It was such a pleasure hosting you and your families. Please come visit us next time you are on the Central Coast! -

Dream Wedding Venue!!
Swallow Creek Ranch is truly the most dreamy venue on the central coast! The property managers, Jonna and Reid were so helpful and involved in all of our wedding planning. They provided an adorable bridal suite and airstream for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready in, I was able to come early and enjoy the day from beginning to end. Our wedding day was so incredibly special and we can definitely thank swallow creek ranch for that!Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
It is always an extra treat to work with couples who grew up in SLO County. You and your families were so fun to work with and really made the team effort to make your wedding dream come true. Seeing Dalton surprise dj was a highlight I will never forget! You both were one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your special day with us. -

John W. Sent on 01/29/2023Welcoming, Inclusive, Communicative
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Jonna and the entire team at Swallow Creek. They were responsive, communicative, and prompt, but more than that were warm, welcoming, and remembered details about what was important to us. As an interracial same-sex couple, we were especially concerned about finding a venue and team that would be inclusive of us and our communities, and felt especially welcome at Swallow Creek. We could not recommend them more strongly!Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Thanks John for your kind words. We LOVED working with you both to make your wedding dreams come true! -

Beyond Perfect
Not even sure where to start or what to say. We had the most perfect day at Swallow Creek Ranch. The venue is beyond stunning and so unique. Our guests were all in awe by the beauty of this place. Jonna, Reid, Kyla and the team are incredible people and great to work with. They are all so kind, personable, responsive, fun and easy to talk to. We really enjoyed our time at the venue and getting to know the team. The vendors they recommended are on point, and having a blank canvas really gave us the ability to make the wedding our own and special to us. We could not be more grateful to have found this magical place.Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Our work here really is a labor of love! We were delighted that you & Chris felt so at home here & filled our “blank canvas” with rich, cultural wedding traditions. Every weekend we get to see the ranch transformed in a new way by another special couple. Thank you for sharing your elegant vision with us. It was truly a pleasure hosting your wedding here at Swallow Creek Ranch! -

The perfect venue
We got married at swallow creek ranch in November of 2021. I fell In love with the site as soon as I saw the STUNNING rolling hills and the beautiful hilltop view with the ocean in the background. immediately knew this was our wedding location. The surrounding area, gardens, and the huge old wooden barn is so beautiful that you truly don’t need any extra decor. Jonna was an absolute dream to work with. I appreciated her calm, organized yet laid back approach. It was the best day of our lives! I couldn’t Recommend Jonna and Swallow Creek Ranch more!Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Thanks Delaney! I don't think I will ever forget how fun it was to work with you and your sisters as they eagerly helped you plan the wedding of your dreams. -

Swallow Creek Ranch - Hidden Gem Along Central the Coast
Our entire experience at Swallow Creek was exceptional, we couldn't have asked for a better venue and better people to work with! Like many Covid couples, we had to postpone our wedding and Kyla (venue owner) was super understanding and accommodating. Jonna and Reid (property managers) were fantastic to work with and extremely helpful. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for your special day.
I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an ocean view venue. The bridal suite is truly picture perfect and made for great getting ready photos. Both the Seaview Meadow and the Hilltop ceremony locations offer exceptional ocean views. We got married at Seaview Meadow, which had gorgeous natural flowers that brought in monarch butterflies on our wedding weekend (which made it even more special and magical). The barn offered plenty of space for our guests during our reception and was the perfect location to dance the night away with family and friends. We are incredibly grateful to have found this venue and cannot speak more highly of its charm and the folks that run it.Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
I still think of you every time I look at my beautiful succulent arrangement made by your mom for your wedding! Stunning day spent with an even more stunning couple on the inside & out! -

Kind, Supportive and Prompt Every Step of the Way
From the beginning, working with Jonna, Reid and Kyla was a better than I could’ve hoped for. All of our questions were promptly answered and they were very understanding when we had issues with scheduling. Most importantly, they were incredibly warm and welcoming once the weekend arrived. By the end we all felt like good friends. We’re so happy to share this incredibly special memory with them and to have had our wedding at the beautiful Swallow Creek Ranch.
Extra perk: the story & history of the ranch, and what they continue to do for the land it resides on was a big pull for us to decide to use it as our venue.Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
We cherish the memory of watching Sam & his dad set up the pendants in the barn and watching your vision come true! -

Absolutely Amazing!
We loved every moment planning and celebrating with Swallow Creek Ranch. Kyla was so helpful, so laid back, and such a joy to work with. We got married in the Seaview Meadow and had our reception in the beautiful blue dairy barn! The meadow was beautifully landscaped, but still kept its rustic Cayucos feel. It was the exact look and vibe we were going for. The barn comfortably fit our 165 guests with plenty of room for our dance floor! There are a multitude of locations on the property and across the highway to take newlywed and sunset pictures! We would recommend Swallow Creek Ranch to anyone wanting to get married in a beautiful and authentic central coast wedding! -

Madelaine B. Sent on 06/10/2019So Glorious, So Beautiful!
It was a dream to have our wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch! The moment we stumbled upon the ranch via Google searches, we immediately screamed, "WE HAVE TO GET MARRIED HERE!" Reviews and descriptions don't do justice! You have to see it for yourself to see why this venue is absolute magic! Our ease and confidence in working with Kyla was part of the reason why we booked even before visiting the venue. We just couldn't let it go!
Kyla has been so helpful throughout the entire process and we used many of the vendors she recommended! The best part for us was that Kyla was so genuine in giving us the flexibility and confidence in bringing in our own unique dreams and vision and oversaw the entire process professionally and delightfully! Our guests were raving how beautiful the entire event was, from the ceremony, reception, cocktail, back of the barn, bridal room, the hills, everything!! We will be re-living and reminiscing about our wedding day for a lifetime and Swallow Creek Ranch will hold a special place in our hearts. Perhaps, maybe on a future anniversary, we could come and visit and fall in love again at the place where our journey began!Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
Thank you Madelaine for your sweet words. It was such an honor to be part of your wedding day and the rain was a special blessing! Agustin’s smile as he worked in the rain to execute your Plan A vision was such a sweet testament to your love for each other. It could’ve been a blizzard but he didn’t care. He got to marry the woman of his dreams. Best wishes to the both of you And yes please come back and visit on your anniversary! -

Swallow Creek Ranch is pure magic and Jonna is equally magical.
My daughter's wedding day was perfect from beginning to end because of the care and planning that Jonna provided for us. She celebrates and marvels at the uniqueness of every event while loving and stewarding the land and structures of Swallow Creek. Cayucos is a very special place for our family, and finding this gem of a site was heaven-sent! Swallow Creek was a dream come true for us.Swallow Creek Ranch's reply:
We had so much fun working with your family from beginning to end as you planned a real Western themed wedding and one of the best Kid Corral's ever! -

Aly Sent on 11/14/2017My husband and I got married at Swallow Creek Ranch this past October and it was a dream. Swallow Creek Ranch was exactly what we were looking for and I'm so happy we found it! We had a destination wedding weekend in Cayucos and it was a total blast! Everything was absolutely perfect. Kyla and her team were easy to work with and made the setup process as seamless as possible. They worked with us and our vendors on setup and strike. Everything was perfect and we cannot recommend this venue enough!!
