The venue also currently offers a lot of perks such as the ability to bring in your own alcohol, café string lighting strung throughout the venue, additional props that can be rented at a very reasonable price point. Although the venue has a recommended vendor you are welcome to bring in your own vendors as well. On a side note their recommended vendor DJ's California Catering is AMAZING and wonderful to work with, providing pretty much everything you need catering/ tables/linens/bartenders etc. We have been planning a wedding at this venue for summer 2020 and the event manager Nick has been so easy to work with and helpful throughout the planning process. We are now having to decide whether to postpone our summer wedding due to COVID-19. It is a very difficult decision and Nick and McGrath Ranch and Gardens have been so understanding and kind during this very stressful time offering us multiple options if we decide to move forward or cancel. I feel so very fortunate to be working with such a great venue and cannot say enough good things about this venue. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with kind people and plenty of additional perks I highly recommend McGrath Ranch and Gardens!

The Camarillo Ranch is the jewel in the Camarillo crown. This historic mansion with serene,…read morepark-like grounds is a slice of the countryside in the growing bedroom community. The large, white Queen Anne-style mansion and estate grounds was built in 1892 by Adolfo Camarillo (the town is named for him) as a gift of love for his beloved wife Isabella. The victorian home sits on an expansive 4.5 acres with a barn and stables that were restored by the city in 2001. Guests can tour the ranch's original stables, stroll through the beautiful gardens and tour the mansion. The ranch offers community events such as Food Truck Rallies on the last Thursday of the month. Visit their website for more information including events and hours. There is on-street parking along with limited on site parking. Weddings are popular here. Unfortunately, I do not recommend a wedding here. Yes, Kaley Cuoco from Big Bang Theory got married here. (She was born in Camarillo.) When I got married, we scheduled an appointment to tour the property. We arrived early on that Saturday morning to a closed ranch with not a single human in sight. I called the number for the mansion and it went to a voicemail. Despite three voicemails, I was never called back nor did I ever receive any acknowledgement of the mistake. We happily got married somewhere else.

Highly recommend this event if you are in the area and don't want to cook dinner on a Thursday night.

The foliage and the greenery and the care given to the ambience definitely made up for this, the place was large enough to get a full-size In-N-Out Burger truck in, and have separate areas for the cocktail hour, the reception itself, and the dinner after! I was dismayed by the lack of bathroom facilities, because behind the restrooms Sign, they only had nicer porta potties! For a wedding venue, this nice, that surprised me quite a bit.

She is communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly thoughtful. On the wedding day, we felt completely taken care of. Mel managed everything and got everyone to where they needed to be.I didn't have to worry about a single thing! Every detail, every piece of signage, every vision we had was executed perfectly. The whole experience felt effortless and seamless. The entire venue was so beautiful with our guests still raving about it! Thank you to Mel and Maravilla Gardens for helping make the wedding of our dreams!

We considered this venue for my first daughter's wedding 3 years ago, and TBH, although the venue…read morewas incredible...we had a bad experience with Jenn and seeing several reviews of others who experienced what we did...so we opted out of considering the venue. However, when my next daughter, FSIL and I started looking at venues...I kept thing about Maravilla, as I knew it was exactly what they were looking for. We talked about the past experience her sister and I had, and so at first did not want to consider the venue. But-I thought-maybe Jenn had a bad day the last time we were there-and we opted to give the venue a chance. I am glad we did. Jenn was very friendly, accommodating and informative. It was as if I was meeting a completely different person. My daughter's wedding here was in October-and it was absolutely wonderful. The venue is just gorgeous, the grounds are meticulously kept-and without a doubt the wedding coordinator Mel that is part of the package at Maravilla was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She made my daughter's day stress free and perfect. She kept everything on schedule and handled every/any issue that came up immediately. The Glam house is fantastic-but I do not like that they boot you out several hours before the event and give you a miniscule trailer for the bridal party. Only a few of our 7 people could fit in the trainer room at one time, there was only 2 seats. And we had to move all of our things there while we were only half ready. The food was very good, however we were forced to use their one caterer (Command Performance)...and while every other caterer offers a free tasting for up to 4 guests- Command Performance told us that since they were our only option, they would not do a 'free tasting' but would 'agree' to one for us @ $300 for the couple and $150 per additional person. The real rub was when my friend's son got married at the Gerry- you can choose your caterer from a list. And Command Performance is on that list-and they got free tastings. When we brought that to his attention, he said-"well they have choices of caters, so in that case, we will give free tastings". Pros: Beautiful setting Excellent parking Secure location Easy access Grounds are meticulously kept Fantastic support staff Coordinator Mel Glam room/house Lots of prop choices from her 'barn' Cons: Limited time in the glam house Extremely small trailer room for the bridal party after glam room Forced to use from their limited vendors/lack of competition allows them to take advantage of you Seems like many standard items have an 'extra' charge

We were checking out their collection of exotic birds at the time. We tried to take our granddaughter somewhat recently and caught them on a day when they were hosting an event, so we didn't stay. Thankfully, the Camarillo Garden Tour featured this charming venue as one of their featured gardens in this year's event. It was fascinating to see how the property has evolved since we last spent time there. They have definitely made their primary space into a wedding venue haven with multiple garden "rooms", and a gathering space with dance floor and refreshments areas for the reception part of the special occasion. There is a small formal rose garden near the entrance for a welcoming space. The parrots and other tropical birds are no longer there, which is a shame from our perspective. I can imagine that they might be distracting for the wedding events, so there is a sense to moving on with retiring that aspect of the gardens. The owners were very gracious to have their lovely place serve as the spot where refreshments were served as part of the tour, plus the opportunity drawing prizes were displayed there, a small boutique, and a live band played to entertain the garden tour guests. We enjoyed lingering for a while. We also explored all of the main areas of the property. Delightful! The gardens have matured beautifully over the years, and the added artistic touches of lighting, stamped pathways with leaf shapes, and other charming elements speak well of the creative vision that brought this space to life.

Everything went so smoothly and according to plan, and we couldn't have been happier with how our day turned out. Our guests are STILL giving us compliments on how pretty the venue was! It truly is such a beautiful property, and we feel so lucky we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives there. Tuscan Rose Ranch will always hold such a special place in our hearts. Our wedding was the best night of our lives, and we couldn't imagine a more beautiful place to have celebrated it.
