What Couples Are Saying
"Getting married at Paicines Ranch was an absolutely magical experience. From the stunning ranch landscape featuring historical buildings, silos, and rolling oak-studded hills that painted that landscapes to the charismatic, delightful, and incredibly helpful events crew, this venue has it all! To top it off, it's a working ranch tackling regenerative agriculture and they aligned with my values and eco wedding. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding and exceptional venue that went above and beyond to make my wedding unforgettable."
-Alicia
"Paicines Ranch and their staff went above and beyond to help make my wedding be the most magical day of my life so far! The venue is breathtaking! Having the option to stay on the property for the weekend made everything run so smoothly!
-Keegan
"We had a lot of specific parameters for our wedding venue search - we wanted a wedding in a barn just like my parents did, there had to be flexibility in planning and end time, big enough for all our guests, an emphasis on sustainability (hard to find in the wedding industry), and good options for staying on-premise. This all narrowed down to just one location - Paicines Ranch, and as soon as we pulled in to visit we knew it was perfect. The location is beautiful, the people who work there are all incredible humans and so inspiring, and they were such a joy to plan with and work with. "
-Oliwia
"Having our wedding at Paicines Ranch was one of the best decisions we made. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be - we wanted something outdoors, rustic, with a sense of place and history... and we wanted flexibility to do it our own way. Paicines Ranch fit the bill perfectly."
-Lindsay
"Paicines Ranch is a beautiful venue. I highly recommend this breathtaking ranch if you are looking for a relaxing wedding day. The scenery is amazing and pictures came out beautifully! We had our dinner inside the barn and dancing outside, which gave our guest the opportunity to enjoy an inside and outside charming wedding. It is very reassuring to still hear our guests talking about their relaxing experience at our Paicines Ranch wedding."
