The family and friends had an amazingly fun time riding the mechanical bull, dancing, enjoying the barn and saloon facilities...we are so appreciatiative of the Jaques' family ranch. The ceremony area is lovely, filled with blossoms and hummingbirds, the sound of horses in the background, beautiful courtyard and dance floor, a playground for the little ones, fire pit, plenty of guest parking, security...it is a wonderful choice for any occasion! Many thanks, Jaques family, for a wonderful wedding weekend!

While the weather itself obviously isn't the venue's fault, it didn't feel like they were fully prepared for rainy conditions. The family ended up providing the tents to keep guests covered during the ceremony, and without speakers it was very difficult to hear anything that was being said. There was a small covered area available for shelter, but it wasn't enough to accommodate all of the guests. Overall, it's a charming venue, but it may be worth reconsidering or planning carefully if booking during a rainy season.

Sally and Mike Pace are a dream to work with and their staff is always great and helpful. This venue comes with pretty much everything for an amazing rate. As of today, you can have flexibility on DJ, bar setup and catering options, tables, linens and chairs provided, they book security for you and make everything seamless. They even will offer additional resources to help you set up and breakdown. There is a reason we had both important events here and it is worth a tour and getting to know the Paces. You will be in good hands on your special day and every day leading up to it. We look forward to the many years ahead of continuing to hold our events here.

There is a small house for wedding parties to get ready. Easy access for disabled. The alter is on west side so beautiful views of sunset. This venue would work for more than weddings. I'm thinking reunions, birthday parties, work parties. Plenty light in the evenings. Please check it out!

It was very easy for a very young child to walk around the whole area, no stroller needed. There were lots of animals to see, feed and pet. My only concern is that camel is in an extremely small space as is the longhorn cow. Some goats and llamas have no shade or shelter during the day. I did not see anybody being unkind to the pets, but there was not enough staff to patrol the people and keep the animals safe. Some of the animals backed away when I tried to pet them, even though I was being gentle. I hope they have alternative space and shelter to the ones I saw.

Cost is $10 per person; under 2 or 3 is free I believe. You can also purchase feed baskets to feed the animals. On the day we went they were having a holiday event with Santa and Mrs. Claus and the Grinch , and decorated with Christmas decor- cute. Taking pictures with all the characters was on top of our list. The animals were out and about; our kids loved seeing the animals up close. They have a private parking lot and there is also street parking available. This is a nice place to take the family without the extensive crowds.

I rented this place for a celebration of life for my mother. When I met with the staffer, I told…read moreher I didn't have all the details yet because I was working on securing a location. We filled out the paper work and she told me I had use of the place for the entire day, so my event time didn't really matter. I put down my event time was until 4. They sent me a letter refusing to return any of the $300 deposit I paid because I went over the time of 4pm. (And because they say I didn't sweep and mop, I did sweep). If my event ended at 4, how would I break down and clean and be out by 4. But that didn't matter because she told me I had all day. I feel like this is a scam to keep the deposit. Additionally when I paid for the use, she did not tell me that they charge a credit card fee for using my credit card. If I had known they were going to charge an extra $24, I would have paid in cash. I didn't know until after she already charged my card. The place itself was just ok, old looking, could use some updating and fresh coat of paint. Not worth the price, and I was told it included the use of tv displays but no one could show me how to use it the day of my event, so it really wasn't included.

When it come to preparing food, their kitchen really makes it easy when we serve our own food and caterers find it useful as well. I was really impressed with how many people we could seat and still have room for people to dance. Our DJ liked the area on the stage for him to set up. You can't go wrong with the price and the great service makes this a hell of a bargain.

During our visit, there was a party with tables and seats set up on the lawn. The tasting room is rustic with some seating and a record player and crate of records. Guests are encouraged to bring their own records too. The tasting fee is $10 and you get to try about 6-7 wines. I don't drink but I enjoyed sitting outside and soaking in the view. Hubby really enjoyed the wine and bought several bottles. Coming from the bay area where Napa wines are pretty pricey, these wines were a real bargain at about $30 or less a bottle.

We were able to take in the beauty of this magical place and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The best is perhaps the swimming hole with waterfall in the summer, but our hike among the mossy boulders was incredibly charming and welcoming. The lodging is perfect with enough rooms for multiple families with children as well as friends wanting to getaway together. We're already planning another trip soon and consider this perfect ranch a much needed escape from the city whenever we can get away.
