    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!

    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...

    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...

    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!

    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!!

    Wedding of our Dreams!

    Our wedding at The Ranch was better than we could ever have imagined! The team there is so wonderful and made sure our day was smooth and that everything looked perfect! The team there is so nice and I couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else! Our guests who stayed at The Ranch raved about it and I would recommend this venue to any newly engaged couple!!

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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 had our reception at Aliso Creek Inn overlooking the golf course. It's the the most beautiful and unique location. I wouldn't even trade this spot for the Montage! When you drive up the hill from PCH you feel yourself leaving the craziness of Orange County and entering a tropical island that's secluded by several mountains, a huge lush golf course and beautiful palm trees. Krystal was our coordinator and she's amazing! She knows the property inside and out and was prompt to answer all our emails and phone calls. She helped us organize our timelines along with decor ideas and gave us do's and don'ts of what works best. The staff at Aliso Creek was also superb. Every...

    The first time my husband and I saw Aliso Creek it took our breath away, literally. We could not have asked for a better geographic location (right across the street from the beach), or a more beautiful back drop against which to get married. The new wedding sales representative at Aliso creek is wonderful. Her name is Krystal, and she went above and beyond for our wedding. Without her there was potential for quite a bit to go wrong, but because of her help and hard work our wedding went off perfectly. She even came in on her day off to make sure our menu tasting went well. Krystal was also great in answering e-mails and phone calls promptly....

    I only had my wedding ceremony at Aliso Creek Golf Course (my reception was too large) and even though it rained, everything was amazing. Nicole was great to work with. She was responsive to all of my questions and made sure everything was taken care of for my rain backup, especially considering we had to go with Plan C. This venue is nestled in Laguna Beach and it's a steal. The scenery is amazing, the outdoor pictures I did manage to shoot get were amazing.

    The Ranch is an unbelievable venue! We stayed for 5 nights and wish we could have spent 3 weeks there! The staff knew we were getting married and made an awesome effort to meet all of our needs and go above and beyond serving us during our stay! Thanks to the entire staff!

    My family has been golfing at the Ben Brown course for years, I even had a birthday party there 18 years ago but lost touch with this venue for years. My search for a wedding venue started in early 2016, friends mentioned the overhaul happening at this property, I went to lunch with long time friend Suzanne who suggested the place & I instantly fell in love. Now the place was under major renovation so you had to put some faith in their vision for a new top wedding location & resort. Well they did not disappoint on August 26, 2017 we were married on the grounds. Our wedding was magical, we got married under the big trees on...

    Wonderful Wedding Weekend at The Ranch!

    Jayme and the entire team at the Ranch made this location the perfect place for our weekend wedding activities. Jayme in particular was great at understanding our vision for welcoming family and friends from the east coast to celebrate the weekend with us. She helped to plan an intimate rehearsal dinner, beautiful wedding reception and welcoming family brunch. We received so many compliments on the staff and surroundings of The Ranch. Look forward to our next visit when in Cali!

    We chose Aliso Creek because most of our guests were traveling from out of town and we loved the idea of everyone staying on site for the entire week!!! We had our ceremony outside on the lawn and our reception inside the main ballroom. Everything turned out perfect! All of our guests had an amazing time! Nicole was great for the entire 15 months of my planning process! She was always quick to respond to my emails or frantic phone calls and was always a calming voice on the other line!!! The food was so amazing! We never did a tasting and didnt have very high expectations because we were getting such a great deal on the price, so...

    The Ranch is a magical place for a wedding! As soon as we looked at the Ranch, we knew this was it. Extra sentimental value added for my husband who grew up playing golf on the Ben Brown's course with his dad and grandfather. There were some challenges with planning because they were undergoing renovations and reviews with the coastal commission at the time, but at the end of it all, our wedding was perfect! The catering staff were so great and professional, being sure to take care of the bride and groom too :). And the food was phenomenal! Everything went according to plan without a hitch. We got compliments from our friends and family on the gorgeous views and the great food!

    We booked The Ranch at Laguna Beach based on its location alone. Stunning views and the feeling of a secret garden off of PCH. As it turns out, over the course of our wedding planning, the venue was undergoing a complete overhaul. New menus, packages, furniture, guest options, and a brand new wedding venue were just the beginning. We were so lucky to have stumbled on this gorgeous gem hidden in Laguna Beach! The food was amazing and the staff is amazing! We had the wedding of our dreams, and so much more than we ever expected. A truly perfect day and I know that it was in large part to this amazing venue. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a gorgeous outdoor wedding!

    There's no doubt that this is a beautiful property- in fact, it is the one and only venue my now-husband and I looked at before booking. It's hard to believe you're in Laguna Beach, let alone Orange County, amongst the foothills and greenery. We saw plenty of deer and wildlife, too.

    Now, the planning process was not the easiest. The catering package is definitely confusing, and rather pricy. It was a little bit of a battle to negotiate things and translate all of the paperwork. But I will say that it was worth it. We received so many compliments about the venue in all of its beauty, and many compliments regarding the FOOD! Hats off to the...

    Aliso Creek Inn was the perfect choice for us. It was beautiful, elegant, picturesque, a great price, and served amazing food. The backdrops are phenomenal if you are having an outdoor wedding, and the inside is very pretty too. The food service manager, Eduardo, and his staff, are beyond outstanding as well. The ONLY thing that prevented me from giving this location a perfect score was the wedding coordinator. She was quick to get frustrated by things she was paid to do, such as answer emails, and she was rude to my wedding party at the rehearsal and while we were getting ready the day of because we were running late. Also, some of the important questions I asked...
