“Had my wedding here 5/19/23. Couldn’t have imagined a better place to have my wedding. The venue itself is simply stunning. Tropical and romantic. Our ceremony was held at the garden area, which definitely gave off Hawaii vibes. The reception was held at the courtyard that was lit so beautifully at night with market lights. They also have an amazing pond which makes for a fairytale backdrop for your wedding photos. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received from our guests about how gorgeous the venue is!
And I cannot talk about RDLP without talking about our day-of-coordinator Laura. She was there with us from the tour of the venue up until our post wedding shoot. I don’t think my wedding could’ve been as smooth without her. She helped with many details including our wedding rehearsal, and of course, details on the day of the wedding that I didn’t even think about.
Thank you so much RDLP and Laura for making our special day magical!”

All your recommended vendors! The guests said it went so smoothly which is a testament to the great work you did. You took so much pressure off us and allowed us to enjoy the night without having to worry or stress about anything. Thank you for bringing our ideas to life on such a memorable and lovely night.”

“Now that I have a moment to breathe (after 70 people here for brunch and 35 for dinner on Saturday, sleeping on Sunday and doing fifty loads of laundry yesterday!!) I wanted to write and just thank you.

You and Rancho De Las Palmas made everything so incredibly perfect for Jess and Sean’s wedding. Your attention to detail, your staff, your amazing personality, the absolutely gorgeous surroundings, even the perfect weather that you ordered for us (!), was all absolutely wonderful.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. It was everything Jess dreamed of and more. Everything went seamlessly. We received SO many compliments about the venue…frankly about the whole day. Many said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. That meant everything to us!!

And the extras were so appreciated. The Bridal Suite was perfection. The Groomsmen Island was incredible. You just thought of absolutely everything. We’re all so grateful for everything you did, coordinated and arranged. We’re forever grateful and we will recommend you and Rancho De Las Palmas as often and as loudly as we can!!

Thank you again, for the absolute perfect day.”

INCREDIBLE

“Picking Rancho de las Palmas as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we ever made. My guests are STILL raving about how delicious the food was. If I could give any advice, I’d say pay the extra buck to hire Laura as a coordinator, Joan as your decorator and Gary as your DJ. Their creativity and their attention to detail was unmatched and they took so much stress off of me because I knew I could trust them to bring my vision to life. Gary was such an entertaining and engaging DJ. I loved that he danced with us and that he stayed true to my playlist but also made sure to throw in songs that every age bracket would enjoy, since my guests ranged from 6 to 80 years old. He got so many of my guests on the dance floor, even the ones I never thought in my wildest dreams would or could dance in public.

The place is stunning and the perfect little island get-away. Unlike a typical golf course venue, you’ll never have to worry about people you didn’t invite showing up in your pictures or any of your guests getting lost. The duck pond, the gazebo, and the Rancho driveway created such memorable pictures that I will treasure forever. I really can’t thank the staff enough for the incredible job they did. And I was so grateful that catering went the extra mile to make sure my husband and I had a meal and some desserts to take home after the party, cuz damn it all disappeared fast lol. If I had to leave any complaint, it would be that I wish the day could have lasted longer. But I can’t even complain about that, because Laura lets you and your bridal party on the property as early as 8am to set up and get ready! Our wedding was everything we could have ever hoped for. If you’re in doubt, don’t be. Just go for it!”

Wedding paradise

“I absolutely had to leave a review. I had my wedding here May 7, 2022. And it was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. The property itself makes you feel like you’re in your own paradise. My guest we’re so in love with the venue. They were just raving about it all day and even afterwards. So many places to take beautiful pictures. And I love that it’s already so pretty that you don’t need to overdo it with the flowers because there’s already flower and greenery everywhere. But the one thing that absolutely makes this venue stand out above everyone else is Laura. She is the property manager but she is also a coordinator if you decide to hire her. No questions asked you should definitely hire her. Her and her team made my wedding absolutely amazing and go down without a hitch. The whole time leading up to my wedding which was almost a year process she always stayed in communication with me anytime I had a question she would respond right away. Anytime I wanted to go see the property she would make time. But the day of was perfect. No stress at all on me or my groom she took care of everything. And she also has a giant room with a bunch of decorations that makes life so much easier. I gave her so much credit for how much patient she had. But even my guests and husband loved her! If I can do wedding planning all over again I would definitely have her on my team. The whole staff is absolutely amazing and sweet. If you’re looking for a venue this is definitely the spot. Also the food is so amazing. Laura get ready for my five year anniversary because we are definitely going to have to have it there. Thank you for everything.” Sandy B- 5/2022

Laura made it all beautiful and so easy for me and my daughter and family😀. I would recommend this wedding venue and the wedding planner to all ❤️” Kim S – 2022

Absolutely the Best!!

“As we began looking for a wedding venue for our daughter, amid the covid pandemic, our thought was to find an outdoor space. Wow, were we blessed to find Rancho! Everything about this venue was perfectly situated for a great wedding! The grounds were beautifully manicured, and we actually heard our guest using the word “magical”. The common statement was “how did you find this incredible space”. The best thing we did was to hire the Day of event Coordinator, Laura! She is a MUST-HAVE!! She will provide you with all the best names for caterers, flowers, etc, and is truly so talented at what she does! We would have been lost without her! Use the house DJ, Gary, as he is great at what de does, gets the crowd up and dancing, and keeps the event flowing perfectly. He can provide you with a great photo booth if you like.

Rancho has just added housing on the property, that you can rent. We took advantage of this, which worked wonders for our out-of-town guests. Honestly, this venue is just perfect, you will love it!” LO Yelp – 6/2021

Gorgeous Magical Venue

“We are so happy we found Rancho de las Palmas! We had less then a year to pull together this wedding and this venue was perfect for us. With their exclusive DJ (Gary of Ransom Entertainment) and exclusive caterer (DJ’s Caterering) everything was easy to coordinate and we had absolute professionals creating a spectacular evening for our guests to enjoy. Laura, the on-site manager & day of coordinator, is the Best!! The food was delicious, the DJ got everyone up and dancing, plus the ceremony area and room were simply beyond beautiful!!!” Ilene F – 11/2019

We fell in love with it as soon as we walked in.

“No words will ever be enough to describe how absolutely beautiful this venue is, simply Stunning! I was lucky enough to have my wedding here on 9/1/19 and my guests are still talking about it. I can honestly say I had a magical wedding not to mention STRESS-free thanks to Laura. She was our coordinator for the day, the best decision we’ve made – she was beyond amazing. No hiccups and if there were I was not aware which was perfect.

The venue made my photos beyond perfect. Anywhere you stand is a photo opportunity. We didn’t have to leave for photos everything was here. The bridal suite is beautiful, perfect set up with mirrors and lighting for your makeup & hair stylist! (My stylist LOVED the set up). We used their preferred caterer-DJ’s Catering and it was a perfect fit. We went with the buffet style and everything was amazing.

Honestly, I am still on a high from how amazing and just magical my wedding was. Beyond shocked that this was my wedding. Thank you Rancho de las Pal,as & especially Laura for making our day more than Perfect. Definitely could not have done this without her. I’m sharing some photos! I wish I can post them all. If you are reading this review in search for a venue STOP your search and contact them. You will fall in love!” Briana S (Yelp 9/2019)

“As wedding photographers, it is important that we not only have a great venue to shoot at, but that the venue is run and well-taken care of. Rancho goes above and beyond for not only their couples but the vendors. We know we will always have access to anything we may need and Laura is always very accommodating.” Emma – 2018

Beautiful Venue

“Everything about this day was perfect. Rancho de las Palmas is an oasis where dreams come true. Laura went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. (it’s optional to book her services, but I highly recommend that you do!) Her attention to detail was amazing. DJ Gary creates a fun atmosphere and kept everything flowing nicely, and DJs catering was fantastic. All our guests kept commenting about the beautiful venue, the delicious food, and the fun reception. I can’t say enougMy dream weddingI couldn’t have asked for a better place to have my dream wedding. It was so magical and I never wanted it to end. Laura and Martha went above and beyond and exceeded all of my expectations. If you’re looking to have your dream wedding, look no further. People keep talking about how great my wedding was. The food was incredible, not your average wedding meal. The quesadilla appetizers were amazing. I loved how my guests surrounded the dance floor, it kept the party going all night long. I used their in house DJ Gary, I can’t believe how awesome he was. Best night ever!!!” Allie G – 11/2017

So Beautiful!!

“All of guests were stunned at how beautiful this venue is. Pictures do not do it justice. I was fooled until I decided I to book a tour and the moment we stepped into the venue we knew we wanted to get married there. It is literally so beautiful and so much greenery!! And I cannot fail to mention Laura who runs the venue. She is LITERALLY the best! She makes everything run smoothly! She solved every issue we ran into and I had no clue until after the wedding.So venue is beautiful and Laura is a PLUS!!” Yasmin G – 4/2015
