Holland Ranch (San Luis Obispo)

Holland Ranch - They don't have a need for advertising, so this is the closest option for their website

Holland Ranch is located out in rural San Luis Obispo in Edna Valley. It is surrounded by rolling green hills and great views. Downtown SLO is about 15 minutes away and Pismo Beach is even closer. Last weekend, we met with Jamie who books and coordinates all the weddings and events held on the property.

When you book Holland Ranch, you get to rent out the venue for the full weekend. There is a flat fee for a certain amount of guests which includes tables and chairs for the reception and everything else is up to you and very do-it-yourself (if you want). The wedding ceremony is held out on a lawn with a wooden stage and arch that has the hillside in the background. The reception is held in the barn / property overlooking the lawn. The barn is very rustic and the inside is decorated like a barbecue smoke house / Bull's Tavern. They have everything from old liscense plates to animal heads on the walls. Inside is an open floorplan that includes a stage with a piano and sound system, a kitchen, pool table, and room for dancing / eating. Upstairs above the barn is an apartment that is used as a bridal suite with plenty of room for getting ready. Perks about this venue are that you can stay and dance until 1 am and you can pretty much do anything you want the way you want it. The event would definitely have to serve Santa Maria Style barbecue to go along with the theme of the venue. Jamie said that the weather in May is really nice, but we may want to tent the outside reception area due to the wind that time of year.
