Stephanie and Brandon, along with their kids, held their wedding at The Ranch House in the Ojai Valley. They began their day by getting ready at the most gorgeous AirBNB further down the road from The Ranch House.

Weddings at The Ranch House


The restaurant opens for dinner service only, so Stephanie and Brandon's ceremony was held prior to the public being allowed on the property. This made it a totally secluded and intimate wedding venue, and we were able to explore the property with it's gorgeous greenery and koi pond to take some photos after the ceremony.


Once dinner service began, guests were ushered to a small private table and courtyard on the property for the reception.
