10/10 recommend this venue! We go married last year and cannot get over how amazing the venue and staff were. From our very first tour to the wedding day the staff was always very responsive. We loved that they provided the basics and let us bring in our own vendors which was exactly what we were looking for. We had an issue with our initial caterer and the venue helped us out and gave us the same price we were going to pay! The coordinator Timeless Timeline they suggested was also amazing. I cannot recommend this venue enough, our guests were surprised that such a beautiful venue could be tucked away but love it. If you're looking for an affordable and beautiful venue this is it! read more

Windmill Canyon Ranch is a beautiful place to have a wedding. It is tucked away among gorgeous scenery, with green grass, stunning sunsets, and a spacious open-air setting. Unfortunately, our experience with the service did not match the beauty of the venue. From the moment we arrived in the parking lot, the staff seemed unwelcoming. We smiled and greeted them, but not one person smiled back. We tried not to let that affect us because we were there to joyfully celebrate a family member's wedding. The bar staff also seemed unfriendly, and I felt as though I was inconveniencing them simply by asking for a cup of ice. The drinks appeared to contain mostly ice and juice. I rarely drink except on special occasions, but I can normally smell or taste alcohol in a mixed drink, and I could not detect any in the drinks I received. It also would have been nice if guests had been offered water or another refreshing beverage more consistently. The trolley service was another major disappointment. At the end of the evening, I saw a cart coming up the hill and waited because I thought it was picking us up. Instead, it parked and the three guests riding in it went inside a nearby trailer. My elderly cousin, my husband, my two children, and I had to walk down the hill, as many other guests did. I eventually had to remove my heels and walk barefoot on the rocky surface cutting the bottoms of my feet because I was afraid of falling. My feet were still hurting afterward. I do want to recognize one tall young man on staff who was genuinely helpful and kind. His kindness stood out and was appreciated. After reading other reviews, I wonder why our experience was so different. Guests seem to receive either excellent five-star service or very disappointing service. In my honest opinion, this venue has tremendous potential, but there are important areas that need improvement--especially staff friendliness, access to refreshments, and reliable shuttle service for children, elderly guests, and anyone wearing formal shoes. The venue itself was beautiful, and we were fortunate to have great weather. I sincerely hope the service improves so future guests receive an experience that matches the beauty of the property. read more

I recently attended a wedding at this venue and unfortunately had several concerns regarding the overall experience. The staff, including the bartenders, came across as rude and unprofessional, which took away from what should have been an enjoyable and welcoming event. Additionally, the prices at the bar were quite high, with drinks costing approximately $10-$15 while containing a relatively small amount of alcohol. Given those prices, I would expect a higher level of service and value. This isn't Dodger Stadium. Another significant issue was the transportation service. The venue had promised transportation up the hill to the actual event location, but the service was not operating. This created an unnecessary inconvenience for guests and should have been communicated in advance if the service was unavailable. Overall, there are several areas where the venue could improve, particularly in customer service, communication, pricing, and ensuring that advertised amenities are actually available. I hope the venue takes this feedback seriously and uses it to improve the experience for future guests. read more

Unfortunately, our experience at this venue was very disappointing. The workers were extremely rude and unprofessional, which made an already frustrating experience even worse. The bathrooms were extremely dirty and did not appear to be properly maintained. For a venue hosting events and charging the prices they do, I expected much better cleanliness. The beverages were also extremely overpriced, especially considering how small the cups were. The amount of drink you actually received did not feel worth the price at all. Overall, between the rude staff, dirty bathrooms, and overpriced drinks with very small portions, the experience was not what we expected. For the prices being charged, the venue should do much better when it comes to customer service, cleanliness, and value. read more

We had our wedding here. Although it was nice. Staff were rude, underpouring drinks, charging outrageous prices at the bar, we were supposed to have a trolley to take people up and down the hill, they didn't even honor it. On top of that they took my security deposit although there were no damages claimed. Don't come here, horrible experience during and after. The bar charges above $10 a drink and sodas. They don't even give you the full can. Staff were also very rude and took my money! I even met with the owner 2 weeks after to see if it could be resolved. She was very rude and condescending to no resolve See you guys in court read more

Where do I begin with this place. First the staff is extremely rude, my daughter had her wedding almost a month a go there, when I pulled up I was so sick wanting to throw up, I'm a cancer patient so I asked one of the staff at The parking lot if my husband could drive me up to the restroom just to drop me off then come park back at the lot. She then replied "absolutely not, wait for the trolley" later that day I went to the bathroom there was two people in there only two I went in and one staff yelled excuse me only two ppl at time. Like what!!! I was just going to wash my hands she said sorry you'll have to stand in line. Just wow, my daughter opted he bar they were charging 12k for the bar so she decided on having guests pay. My husband payed 75$ for 6 drinks and 6$ for a can soda. Everytime he went the bartenders charged a different amount for the same drink, ridiculous. This place is a ripoff and they make your guests feel uncomfortable. These people are money hungry please be careful of this venue. read more

We had our wedding here two months ago and it was beautiful!! Our coordinator Jlyn was amazing and made sure everything ran so smoothly ! The weather was perfect our guests loved the scenery, honestly you don't even need decor because the venue is your decor ! It is stunning , the one thing I can say that went wrong was the professionalism of the bartenders. They were rude from the moment our guests were able to grab drinks. I experienced it & I was the damn bride . I had half of my guests tell me that one moment a drink would cost $8 dollars and when they would go back up for the next they noticed the cost of drinks going up or the two bartenders talking to eachother asking what the price should be . I wasn't going to have open bar so I made sure to asked how much drinks would cost so my guest were aware , I was told in our final meeting that the prices of drinks should Range from $7-$12 . And drinks were reaching $15+. As bride and groom our tab was 250$ and we had a total of maybe 6-8 drinks , I've been a bartender for years and that number is ridiculous for the amount of drinks I got.. also you can't get upset at guest wanting to bring there own alcohol in when the bartenders are scamming them out of there money and not pouring the legal amount into a drink . I can really go on and on about the bartenders that night which really sucks bc I shouldn't have to worry about something like that on our wedding day. So to sum it all up I would just do better with your bartending staff especially since that's what really matters to guest most of the day . Another thing I should add is make sure you book the grooms suit for the bride and bridal party, bc the bridal sweet is the size of a walk-in closet . Also make sure the bathrooms are working properly bc by the end of the night when I had to change into my other dress the bridal sweet room smelt terrible .... One more thing , be aware that there is alot of added on fees at your 60-30 day meeting . Things that you should be aware of earlier on to work into your budget :/ read more

Windmill Canyon Ranch - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Beaumont, California

I got married here in January and so many things went wrong. First when we toured the venue the restrooms weren't working and we were told they'd be fixed by my wedding. However that didn't happen and we weren't made aware of this until the morning of. They did bring in portable restrooms but they were located down a hill which made it hard for my guests (women in heels and elderly) to get to them. The bartending staff was also very rude and slow, and told my parents that people had to pay for soda when I paid extra to have that unlimited so they had to find me to get that fixed. The bartenders also made my guests wait in line for soda/water instead of just putting some out for people to grab. I can continue but for now I will just say that I don't recommend this venue for your wedding/event. When I got on the phone to talk to the owner she was very rude and defensive as well instead of listening to a customer who paid a lot of money for things she was promised and didn't receive. This venue is definitely not worth the money/having your special day be here!!!! read more

We had a beautiful wedding -- I mean it was the utmost perfect day. The Windmill Canyon Ranch team and owners, Shelby and Steve, were amazing! The one and only hiccup for the day was non-working toilets but it was immediately fixed and we were so happily pleased by the way the situation was handled that we would recommend this venue just on their reliability and responsibility alone. Everyone made our day feel so special by going above and beyond. This venue has amazing affiliates from catering to coordinators. If you're looking for the perfect ranch style wedding with staff and affiliates to match, this is the place for you and your beloved! Our family and friends were pleased with this venue as much as we were. Plus, our photos and videos were blessed with their one of a kind rolling hills backdrop (thank you Steve for driving us to the gorgeous view). We had such an amazing time and will never forget the care and effort the venue and staff provided us on our big day! read more

My daughter got married here in July. The venue was nice, but the guests did not see the gorgeous views. The food was great. The area for the vows was nice too. Only other faults were a. gravel walk up the hill and b. they had fans in the eating area but no one on staff turned them on read more

Great Venue with nice staff. As a professional photographer I highly recommend this place for your wedding or event

It was the venue for our granddaughters wedding. It was beautiful setting staff was efficient on time and they paid attention to details. The bartenders were fast in serving so no line. The servers were attentive picked up table as needed It was first class service beginning with rehearsal dinner to the last dance at the wedding. The coordinator was also very professional read more

We had the best experience booking our wedding with Windmill Canyon. From the start, Jett was attentive, communicative and very helpful. He was very responsive with every question we had and went out of his way to meet with us when we needed him. The whole staff on the wedding day was amazing. They all worked very hard to make sure we were happy and made sure everything went smooth. Jett went out of his way to ask questions and double check details before the big day. Windmill Canyon Ranch provided more than just a stunning venue; it offered an unforgettable experience for both us and our guests. Our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more, and we owe a heartfelt thank you to Jett and the entire team at Windmill Canyon Ranch for making it a reality. read more

I want to start off by saying this is a breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL VENUE, and unlike The grove in Redlands it allows you to carry your event until 12am. I was a bride in October of 2023 booked fairly early in May of 2022. I felt like we found our dream, well that dream quickly turned sour when at our 60 day meeting with the venue to give final payment they dropped all these restrictions, and added on fees. By this time it's too late to change your mind, we were stuck paying and getting all the things they presented. Went from giving final payment to still owing about 1000 dollars. Our Wedding was booked for a reception of 275 people and only about 250 showed. Things to consider: The owner owns this venue,the catering that they make you choose from and also runs citrus wedding and events and loft 84, and if I would have known to check those reviews prior I would have. MUST HIRE ONE OF THEIR TWO CATERERS, all owned by the same person btw. The two catering options are: landmark 41 who is a farm to table caterer usually a plated dinner from what I was told, or Retro Taco, who we went with and paid almost 9k.Have to hire their day of coordinator through timeless timelines, who is from the venue and works more for the venue than the bride. They're mostly there to enforce all these regulations and be a spy to those in charge. Venue sits on a hill and the parking lot is lower, shuttle stops running mid event and any guests who arrive later have to walk up this hill, elderly included, heels and all. (This was NOT disclosed to us at contract signing, (oh and it's an extra 300 dollars for the shuttle that runs partially through your event) The entrance to the venue is VERY rocky, and the gps leads A LOT of guests around the mountain as if they were off roading, or into amazon warehouse. We were told there would be security pointing guests in the right direction, no security, no sign and no lighting at night. Guests were very frightened on their way in. And I was told by the coordinator at Timeless timeline that all that would be "taken care of" They have busboys hired who throw your guests food and drinks away before they're even done, claiming its to keep the pictures taken "aesthetically pleasing" You get their bartenders. We went with the BYOB option, bartenders were both stuck up and rude. NO SHOTS ALLOWED, only if bride or groom are present, as "celebratory shots" -Drinks were not NOT CONSISTENT AT ALL. Speaking of bar, there's another cocktail bar service fee of $275 which was also not disclosed to us until our 60 day meeting. There's also a cocktail bar contract!!!! Also something NOT presented to us at contract signing only at our 60 day meeting. VENDORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK, we had a banda and if youre hispanic you know they drink and sing all the time, well we were charged our 1000 dollar security deposit for this reason, granted this was something that WAS DISCUSSED in the contract and I take accountability for. No water bottles, you have to get their water station through the venue which I believe is another 300 dollars, also something NOT disclosed to us until our 60 day meeting. No cans are given out either, but they require you to bring the canned soda and not the 2 liter soda, they pour the cans into the 10 oz cups for guests, and I have no idea what they do with the leftovers. I'm assuming they toss it. YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO BRING 10 oz cups. Oh and you CANNOT bring costco size bottles they have to be normal size and no bigger than 750ml. Any opened alcohol/liquor you CANNOT take back home, whoever dropped off alcohol has to take the alcohol and they obviously have to be sober.They have a "decor store" that they let you rent out for a flat fee of 500 dollars. I asked for the bench that was in there and didn't even get it. And it's more of just a storage unit than a decor store. I also sold much of my bought decor to the venue for 225 dollars, they took about 2.5 weeks to give me, but they were real quick to cash the security deposit.If you get ANY additional vendors they are only allowed in about 4 hours before the reception/ceremony to set up.Bridal and Groom suite on site, only an extra 500 dollar fee for each. Also something thrown at us at our 60 day meeting, we were told they were included with the booking of the venue. -You need to purchase event insurance up to 1 million, paid about 125$ for it. Granted this venue is beautiful and aesthetically it was everything I wanted, but it felt like I had to keep defending myself at every turn with service staff and owner, down to getting payment for decor they wanted. My wedding day did take a big bummer because of all these little things. No bride wants to be approached the day of her wedding with complaints from guests about service staff throwing away food because they left to the restroom or to take a picture and their food and untouched drinks were thrown out, or hearing the horror stories about feeling like they were gonna drive off read more

Visited Windmill Canyon Ranch for a tour. The drive into the Ranch was very rocky but as soon as you enter the property it's exactly what I invisioned for a Farm/ Ranch style wedding. Gorgeous landscaping, farm style tables, chairs and pure seclusion. The farm animals on the property add a nice touch. I was thrilled to find out that pricing is so affordable. I left with a full budget sheet and all the information I needed to make a timely decision. I have a few more venues to visit but Windmill is definitely on the top of my list! I recommend visiting, photos won't do this place justice. read more

Windmill Canyon Ranch - Sunset photo at Windmill Canyon Ranch - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Beaumont, California

I visited this venue a few months ago and fell in love with the outside. I wish the inside barn area was bigger and a bit brighter and I would have definitely gone with this venue. I love the privacy this venue has and the beautiful views and greenery. I will say, there was a few instances where I didn't see a response right away from the POC of the venue but she eventually got back to me. Again, it's a beautiful venue and it's definitely worth checking out. read more
