Quail Ranch in Simi Valley California is amazing! The grounds are lush with greenery, shade trees, and flowers. Every square inch is impeccably groomed, and the Spanish Revival architecture of the home, combined with the landscaping details, fountains, and surrounding avocado groves and citrus trees, provide unending photo opportunities for the bridal party and guests. Quail Ranch is perched high on a hill with a “golden hour” photo setting unmatched anywhere. The guests at my daughter’s wedding were raving about the food and bar service provided by their exclusive caterer, Command Performance, and couldn’t stop talking about the gorgeous surroundings. By the time the evening lights came into play, guests were calling it a fairytale setting, magical, and wishing they never had to leave! Joanne and her staff are professional and kind, making each person feel like a truly welcome, special guest. Another real bonus choosing Quail Ranch is its privacy. Not only is it secluded, but they only host one event per day, so the entire venue is yours alone. You will find tons of space to move from one area to the next: A unique ceremony space with a grand staircase (and a refreshment area with pre-ceremony iced tea, water, and lemonade from their own lemon trees!), an expansive lawn for cocktail hour, and a charming reception area behind the house with room for dancing. Our guests also spilled onto the brick circular drive, accentuated by an enormous shade tree draped in lights, where we stationed a gelato cart and some fun outdoor seating. I honestly can’t imagine hosting a wedding and reception anywhere else! (photos by Judy and Gavin...
Read moreI held my wedding at Quail Ranch in October of 2019, and had the most amazing experience! The home and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and Joanne is an amazing host, working with us every step of the way, and making her self available for our endless questions. Before visiting this venue, my husband and I had looked into or visited about 40 other venues between Ventura and San Diego, and we thought that we had chosen our site. The day that we were supposed to visit Quail Ranch, my husband didn't want to go, but we decided it was worth a look, and we absolutely fell in love! The ceremony space is incredible, Joanne's home on the grounds is a beautiful Spanish Style villa, and the entire site is full of the most beautiful greenery and flowers. This venue already had so many of the things that people typically have to pay to source/pay for, from those flowers and greenery through to lighting to make the entire space pop! I work at a different wedding venue, and I see what comes in for each wedding, so seeing the unique options that are available at Quail Ranch give you the opportunity to make your wedding truly one of a kind. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't choose anywhere else in the world, Quail Ranch will forever hold a special place in my marriage and heart. You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue! Thank you again to Joanne, her amazing team, and her family for allowing us to have the wedding...
Read moreWhere do we even begin? We truly can’t thank Joanne, Michael, Samantha, and the entire team at Quail Ranch enough for giving us the most incredible wedding day. From the start, we knew the venue was beautiful—that’s why we chose it—but the experience went far beyond what we imagined. The owners of Quail Ranch, the in-house planning team, and the rest of the staff involved at QR made our whole wedding planning process feel so easy and stress-free. Even in the days leading up to the wedding, we felt calm and taken care of. Everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and warmth that we were able to focus entirely on each other and the joy of the moment. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous Quail Ranch is—many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever attended. Every detail was thoughtful and intentional, and it showed. Our guests felt welcomed and cared for, which was incredibly important to us. The grounds were immaculate, the coordination was flawless, and the entire day felt like a dream. If you’re considering this venue—run, don’t walk. It was the best decision we made in planning our wedding, and Quail Ranch (and its amazing team) will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Joanne, Michael, Samantha and...
