    Great May 2024 Wedding at Little Hills!

    My wife and I hosted our wedding at Little Hills and it was a really great experience for us — and for our guests. From the venue tour all the way up through the wedding day, the Little Hills staff were clear and friendly when communicating, took time to listen and get to know us and what we wanted out of our wedding, and just generally very easy to work with. Little Hills Events can be quite flexible based on what you want, ranging from having food, beverage, and a lot of decorations available in-house to allowing outside vendors or BYO. The venue itself is beautiful, with multiple options for ceremony sites and a nice reception area that is tented but still feels fresh and part of the natural environment. Our wedding was in late May and the weather was lovely, with the hills still green and super pleasant temperatures. Overall we are so happy with our wedding and couldn’t imagine it being anywhere else!

    Gorgeous site with all that we were looking for

    Little Hills was the perfect, nature-oriented wedding site we were looking for! It was unique, secluded/private, large, and every direction was an absolutely stunning backdrop. Working with Lindsey and her team was as smooth as one could ever hope. She was professional, understanding, and extremely flexible - a prime example is she entertained my idea to use the dunk tank (which we did with great success)! In a time of stressful planning, we were lucky to have Lindsey and the Little Hills site.

    Little Hills made our wedding incredible!

    Our experience with Little Hills was amazing.

    After a frustrating few months of talking to venues who were rude, unresponsive, and whose costs were vastly different from their websites, we finally found Little Hills Ranch on WeddingWire. When we reached out to them, they were immediately responsive, friendly, helpful, and were absolutely transparent in their costs. Everything on their website is true! When we toured the venue, we fell in love with the beautiful nature setting and the really nice reception tent and other facilities.

    Lindsey worked with us to plan a wedding in just 4 months of time from the date we booked the venue. She was incredibly helpful in guiding us in the areas we needed help with, and also allowing for our own vision and ideas to come true. Lindsey and her team worked behind the scenes with all of our vendors and made sure that absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks. We were also so pleased that Little Hills has all of the furniture and table settings themselves, and that we didn't have to get any separate rentals.

    When the day of the wedding came, I was beyond amazed by how well Lindsey and her team handled everything. They set up all of the furniture, decorations, etc. and all we had to do was show up. We had an incredible time and knew everything was in good hands.

    Little Hills Ranch was our absolute dream venue. There is not a single thing I would change. I will recommend them to EVERYONE. Thank you, Lindsey, for everything you did!!

    A Dream Come True! ⭐️

    Our experience with Little Hills was beyond exceptional! From start to finish, Lindsey and her team helped answer our questions and made us feel so confident through this entire process. If we were to do it all over again, we would absolutely still choose Little Hills 😊

    Amazing people and beautiful venue!

    Lindsey and her team were extremely responsive to all our questions and made sure to be available for us when wanted to visit the site. The venue itself was beautiful - even though it was going through some renovations a couple months before our wedding date, Lindsey made sure to send us updates and let us know what it'd look like. Never did we feel stressed or worried about our venue. She even took care of some of the decor and communications between our vendors, including our photographers and caterer. We did both the reception and ceremony at Little Hills - parking was no issue with the Little Hill's parking lot that fit 200 guests. Got many compliments from our guests how beautiful the wedding was. We highly recommend Little Hills!

    Amazing Venue and Wedding Service Company

    We got to be the first event for Palmdale Estate Events at the Ranch at Little Hills...they have been in the business for a long time but just recently added this venue to their portfolio. As it was new we were a bit worried....No need. Clare and Lindsey were amazing. Helping with details we didn't even know to ask. It was clear they were experienced and professional. The wedding day went down without a hitch. Everything went perfectly. The venue was set up perfectly and looked amazing. Claire was there every step of the way. Constantly reminding us where we needed to be and what the next steps were. All our venders, which were recommended by Lindsey were amazing. The DJ...the food...everything was great. Our guests all let us know what a great time they had. Hindsight, I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much Clarie and Lindsey, Lindsey's Husband....and all the great staff! You rock!

    Beautiful, Unique Venue

    Planning a wedding during COVID was definitely a challenge, but Angie and her team were amazing. When we needed to push our wedding out a year, Angie worked with me to update the contract. Angie was an amazing day of coordinator. She kept the event on schedule, brought us drinks and snacks during photos, and made sure we had plates to eat for dinner. Unfortunately, the park is changing management companies at the end of the month, but Angie and her Basecamp team were wonderful for our wedding!

    Dream wedding, especially during pandemic!

    We were the first wedding at this venue (May 2021) after the Covid shutdown. We are SO GRATEFUL to Angie and her team here for helping us put together our dream wedding! The venue is entirely outdoors so it felt totally safe. Angie was so professional and accommodating, bringing our vision to reality. The ceremony space in Wildcat Canyon is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and Angie coordinated with all our vendors to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Highly recommend this venue!!

    Hidden Gem

    We happened upon the Ranch to Little Hills completely by mistake, and afterwards, we did not care at all about seeing any other venues. RLH had everything we wanted and more. The food was good, the staff was on top of things and kind, and the venue is GORGEOUS. Our guests could not stop talking about it. Halfway through our wedding planning we ended up losing our wedding coordinator to another job, and RLH gave us another. Then the weather happened and the bridal suite ended up burning down. I was crazy with anxiety, but the new coordinator, Angela, she killed it and put all my stress at ease. What an amazingly wedding venue!

    I took one look at the Ranch at Little Hills and immediately knew it was where I wanted to get married. My husband and I are outdoor lovers and the Ranch provided the perfect, beautiful, tranquil atmosphere that we wanted for our big day. Despite living all the way in Washington State, planning the wedding was so easy thanks to the help of our amazing and brilliant coordinator Gillian! She made sure we had every detail thought out and she was so accommodating to all of our needs. She even helped us to make a last-minute traditional Korean wedding ceremony possible at the venue the day before our wedding. Our whole wedding weekend was so magical and went exactly how my husband and I wanted it to, if not even better. We are so happy we were able to make such sweet memories at this place!

    If you are interested in this venue I highly suggest calling and making an appointment for a tour. You will meet Marci the wedding coordinator and she will show you the venue, and their options. Marci really knows what she is doing. We just had our wedding at Little Hills on June 17th and had a blast. The venue is beautiful you have to see it in person. Marci made the wedding planning so easy and stress free. She is calm, collected, and knows what she is doing. Marci responds quickly to emails, and will keep your vendors organized. She ran our wedding the day off like a well oiled machine. There were zero issues or problems because of Marci.

    Simply put the venue is beautiful, the food is great, the staff are awesome, and Marci rocks!

    The Ranch at Little Hills was a perfect venue for our outdoor, serene wedding ceremony and reception. From the first time we stepped onto the property we knew we could have the comfy, rustic, fun wedding that we wanted. The venue is a great value and offers plenty of outdoor space for any sized wedding for a reasonable cost. For us, it was great that the ceremony site, reception site, food, and beverage were all provided by the venue - this made planning much more simple. Also, Marci (the on-site coordinator) is extremely helpful and very responsive. Any questions on any details were promptly looked into. She and her staff were really friendly. She was key in making our wedding come to life! We received numerous compliments from our guests and would not hesitate to suggest this venue to others.

    My wife and I got married here back in August. We were thoroughly pleased with the service provided. Marci was with us and guided us from day one! She brought many things to our attention that we may not have thought of on our own. She was more than willing to help us and work around our crazy schedules. She had many great ideas for areas we were unsure about. On our wedding day, she kept strict to our schedule and had everything moving fluidly! A huge thanks to Marci and the RALH crew!

    Staff at ranch at little hills were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed working with our day of coordinator, Marci. She was always available and truly cared for our big day. The venue is simple yet beautiful and couples can really dress this place up as their hearts may desire. Our wedding was very simple and we did minimal decorations yet my guests were all wowed by the natural beauty of this place. The pricing is reasonable compared to many other venues in the area. Overall, I definitely recommend this venue for any couples out there who are budget conscious and looking for nature inspired wedding.

    The Ranch at Little Hills was the perfect setting for our wedding. My husband and I both love the outdoors, so the ceremony site under the trees was just right. Our wedding coordinator was a huge help during the planning process and always quick to respond to all of our questions. My husband and I are both extremely satisfied with our decision to have chosen the Ranch at Little Hills for our wedding ceremony and reception.

    Amazing outdoor venue! Lauren, the wedding day coordinator was always very helpful and very quick to answer any question via email or text. Even while away on vacation she responded to emails. Everything went according to schedule and the way I had envisioned and everyone came to me and said how great the space was and how well the ceremony and reception went.

    I had my wedding here on Saturday June 7th, 2014. From beginning to end, it was an amazing experience. The wedding site is beautiful and the food was delicious. The customizable layout was a huge plus for my husband and I - as we wanted to incorporate the wedding theme in various areas.
    In addition to everything this venue had to offer, I would have to say that we were most pleased with our time working with the site's wedding coordinator Lauren Maser. Lauren is absolutely AMAZING. She promptly responded to all of my emails (I had a ton), ensured our order with Pleasanton Rentals met our expectations, and made sure we felt comfortable through the entire planning process of our wedding. Lauren is a true professional who hands down made our experience with The Ranch at Little Hills an unforgettable one.

    Our wedding was so enjoyable and stress-free! Everything went so smooth from planning to the clean-up! Lauren & the staff were on top of the details and they were so helpful until the very end. We chose RLH for their positive attitude, as opposed to other places who tended to focus on what couldn't be done. We received lots of compliments about the venue too.

    I am the mother-of-the-bride, who desperately wanted a 'country club' wedding reception; but, that was not my daughter's vision at all. The RLH had exactly the feel she was looking for, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. We proceeded to the venue after a 4pm church ceremony. It was beautiful at that time of day, and just got more and more lovely as the evening progressed. Many guests were not from the area, so the venue showcased Northern California's natural beauty perfectly. The theme/decor she chose was not at all rustic, yet looked beautiful in the white tent and in the setting. I don't think there is a better wedding coordinator to be found than Lauren Maser. All of our guests had a wonderful time, and we received many compliments on the choice of venue.

    We LOVED having our wedding at The Ranch at Little Hills. Everything was perfect. Our wedding planner, Lauren, is SO good at her job and handled the details of the wedding (before and during) perfectly. Many, many guests told us that it was one of the best weddings they've attended. Definitely recommend this venue!

    If you are looking for a very reasonably priced, all inclusive rustic venue with an awesome coordinator and super helpful staff, then this is it. Wedding planning is definitely not easy, but Lauren definitely made it a lot easier and less stressful. While she is The Ranch's day-of coordinator, she had 3 check in meetings with us leading up to the wedding and was always available via email/phone. She and the staff took care of everything the day of our wedding. We didn't have to check in on set up, nor did we have to clean/pack or take stuff home with us after the wedding. They packed everything up nicely and stored it away for our friends to pick up the day after. For a nominal fee, you can also have the staff help with various tasks (instead of doing it yourself, they will do it for you -- loved this option as it relieved us of having to stress over additional details). They helped us string lights all around the gazebo area, set up and arrange decorations on the guest book table, dessert table, and s'mores table. You will receive a high level of professionalism and responsiveness, along with friendly and superb service. We highly recommend The Ranch at Little Hills

    I just came back from my honeymoon a few days ago and knew one of the first things I had to do when I got back was give this place a fantastic review. My husband and I had such an amazing experience with RLH, and we literally were smiling about how perfect our day was through the entire two-week honeymoon. First of all, through the venue we were given the most amazing wedding coordinator, Lauren Maser, and I must say she is the absolute best. Everything from the months/weeks/days/hours/minutes/seconds leading up the wedding were completely under control, there were no surprises, and I felt SO much relief knowing I had a coordinator to help oversee everything. She was so much more than just a day-of planner, she was practically my maid-of-honor and I can't imagine doing this without her. We met with her several times before the big day, not to mention clogged her inbox with questions, confirmations, and other random chit chat that she was all so responsive, helpful, and organized with. She sat with my fiancé and I for hours helping us decide patterns for Japanese lantern colors, table arrangements, flower placements, and gave us so much advice and ideas that we used to the last drop for the big day. I honestly don't know how I could have stayed so calm throughout this entire journey had it not been for her amazing support along every step of the way.

    The Ranch at Little Hills is a complete gem, I loved how hidden it was, the trees and lights and tent and everything felt exactly how I always wanted it to be on my special day. The staff was kind, professional, and willing to bend over backwards to see that every detail was perfect and just as expected for the big day. We chose to have our ceremony at the Wildcat location (which is up above in the trees), and it looked absolutely stunning in May with the sun streaming through the trees.
    I'm so so happy with this experience, and I would recommend this venue and of course Lauren to anyone lucky enough to have her :)

    I had my wedding at The Ranch at Little Hills back in September and everything was perfect! The planning process was so smooth and Vanessa was SO helpful. She was very organized and had all the details mapped out for the big day. She went above and beyond to make sure that the day was perfect. I highly recommend this venue for any bride who is looking for a rustic, casual, and relaxed venue with a great staff!

    The staff at Little Hills Ranch was extremely easy to work with. They were quick to answer any emails and phone calls during the planning process. I felt very comfortable on the day of the wedding knowing that everything had been thoroughly discussed ahead of time. Everything was set up just as I had wanted it to be, and the staff made sure to check in with us throughout the event. This is the perfect setting for an outdoor event! The food was incredible and our guests had an amazing time. Thanks so much for one of the most amazing and memorable experiences!

    I was extremely pleased with The Ranch at Little Hills. The venue was amazingly beautiful! We had an evening wedding and having both the ceremony and reception in the same location was such a priority for us. Amy and staff was more than helpful and went up and beyond our expectations. I would recommend family and friends for future weddings to this location!

    I grew up going to my fathers company picnics at the ranch. When I found out they were doing weddings I told my finance at the time that we ought to look into it. It was hard for me to envision the ranch as a wedding site initially. When we arrived for a tour we knew it was perfect! We met with our coordinator Amy who helped guide us through the process every step of the way. Everything turned out perfect. It was more than I ever dreamed. Our guests all agreed it was an amazing site and could not have been more picturesque. The food was amazing, the wine great and the staff was polite, and personable. The price was very reasonable as well in comparassion to other sites in the area.

    We had our wedding at the Ranch at Little Hills, which we chose for a multitude of reasons, including (but not limited to) the ambiance, the professionalism of the staff, and the value. The Ranch at Little Hills is a jack-of-all-trades sort of site, but its location in the wooded hills of San Ramon give it the sort of natural beauty that my wife and I were looking for in a venue.

    Our wedding coordinator (and the manager for the venue) Amy was always just a phone call away and was extremely patient when dealing with some of our last-minute freakouts. During the planning process, Amy really went out of her way to help us figure things out and offered some great insight on how we could best incorporate the plans we had for the big day. She knows how to run a tight ship and adapt to changing situations, and as a result, the wedding ran much smoother than we had anticipated.

    Amy and the rest of the extremely helpful and courteous staff of the Ranch at Little Hills were always on-hand when needed and made sure that my wife and I didn't have to worry about a thing on our big day. Frankly, we're very grateful that we were able to work with Amy. Without her help, we would have turned into nervous wrecks.

    Our wedding couldn't have turned out better, and all of our guests agree wholeheartedly. We're very happy we chose the Ranch at Little Hills, and we'd recommend the venue and its staff in a heartbeat.

    Best venue for your best day

    My (now) wife and I selected Little Hills in March 2021. That summer, the management of the venue changed, our contract was suddenly a question mark and it was highly stressful. However, Palmdale Estates Events came in and worked incredibly hard to make everything work out. They honored our previous contract and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. In the meantime, Palmdale Estates had done a few renovations on the venue that were absolutely stunning - they took a venue we loved and made it even better. They kept us in the loop about every change and even asked our opinion on a couple things, eager to make sure the venue we selected was perfect for us. Fast forward to day of, the staff was the most attentive, helpful, and just all around wonderful. They were easily accessible if we needed anything, checked in on us throughout the day, and made sure everything about our wedding ran smoothly. They helped our coordinator set up and clean up, even though that task was set to be on us. Lindsey even snagged a couple photos of our day on her phone and sent them to us so we could have glimpses of our day before we got our official photos back. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this venue and this staff.

    We decided to have a short engagement and were able to work with the Ranch at Little Hills to prepare our wedding in under four months and our wedding was wonderful. The location is truly beautiful (we had our wedding in the Oak Groves) so that we didn't have to include a lot of decorations and yet still hear from our friends and family how lovely it was. The staff at the Ranch were extremely helpful, professional, and let us define our wedding as we saw fit. They were able to respond to our specific requests and were not pushy in any way. The food was good - the DJ they recommended was great, and kept our guests dancing til late. I highly recommend the venue for a wedding.

    My daugher had her wedding reception at The Ranch at Little Hills in July 2011. It was wonderful! Before ever selecting a reception site, she had a vision of exactly what her reception would look like. My daughter wanted to take a very "hands on" approach to every detail and Amy (the wedding coordinator) was very receptive to that. She listened to our ideas, made suggestions and together we came up with a plan, When we arrive on on the wedding day, everything was perfect! We used our own caterer so I cannot comment on the food. I recommend going to their spring Open House so you can sample the food as well as the wine and beer selections offered in their beverage package. If you are looking for a site where you can have your wedding with the beauty of nature surrounding you, I would recommend you take a look at The Ranch at Little Hills.

    Finally had our Reception!

    After 6 coordinators and a 2 year delay due to Covid, we were so thankful for Lindsey and Claire’s help with our reception.

    They were flexible in honoring the previous contract that we had with Base Camp (it sold during the pandemic). With this highly stressful situation, after contacting Palmdale Estates and talking with Lindsey, I knew we were in good hands.

    When we arrived, everything was set up beautifully! I love the addition of the lounge area that they installed and thought it added to an already gorgeous setting. It was a gorgeous day and we and all of our guests had a fabulous time. Communication went smoothly, they worked fabulously with all of our vendors, and the night went off well.

    Thank you, for being our final stop and for making our reception such an enjoyable one!

    RLH was easy to coordinate with and Marci was a total sweetheart! The only minus from our experience, would be the messed up mashed potatoes from our wedding day which is still a running joke. Also, on our actual wedding day, our wedding party was getting super antsy because we stood in line for about 30-45 minutes waiting to be introduced which cut into our "dancing the night away" time. =(

    All in all, not all weddings are perfect and some things don't go right. However, at the end of the day... I married my best friend and we were surrounded by everyone dear to us! Thanks for everything RLH and thank you again Marci!

    Love this Ranch! Definitely a dream come true for weddings!
    Unfortunately out of my budget - but seeking this place and going to two weddings here - it will forever be my dream to wed here. Such a romantic and vintage/rustic spot.

    The wedding planner was great to work with. She returned calls ASAP. The meetings with her went smoothly, and all directions I gave for my wedding day came out exactly how I asked ( table settings, staff uniform, clean grounds).
    There are many food menus to choose from, good variety. Loved the food. I do recommend paying the extra charge for the glasswear, It gave the outdoor setting a touch of elegance.

    Went there for a venue tour and found the pricing for a pretty much ragged barn wedding completely ridiculous. Although they seemed quite professional and met with me in a positive time frame, I was not at all impressed.
