Hurst Ranch Historical Center — Attraction in West Covina

Do not get married here!! They dont own up for their mistakes and refunded us only $100 for the fire alarms going off. They turned off the power to try to get them off and it only turned off the ac and made it hot. Most of my guest left at 10 because of the alarms. Cops came and said its a safety hazard and the firemen should be able to turn them off !! They came and couldnt turn it off because of miwiring at hurst ranch. They couldnt find out how to turn off the alarms because when the owner tried to turn off power it turned off power for other buildings in the venue not the main dance venue!! We spoke to the owner and said we are gonna ask for a discount and he agreed. Cops even said to ask for refund. We reached out to hurst ranch and they continue to ignore us. They mailed us $200 .. $100 is what they owned me from the bar of drinks i didnt drink! $100 is what we got refunded! I told them that it was a safety hazard on yelp and they said we should have evacuated but no one told us anything. The whole time they were trying to figure it out. They are ignoring our calls till this day and blame the dj but even though the firemen and cops said they they should be able to still overwrite it and turn it off and that its not good that this is happening. They ignore my calls. They ignore my emails! The dj used water smoke but it was so hot in their from the ac being off! And yet they still dont want to own up to their mistake and discount us. They are not a good venue at all! Me and my husband were so excited for this day and the alarms ruined our night! Weddings are a big deal and hurst ranch doesnt care about their customers. Its all about money to them!!!!

Only helpful person was donna. Shes the one that help set up my wedding! The owners are not...

A gem of West Covina history! The spacious banquet hall has beautiful string lights above, a dance floor that can hold a crowd, and the catering by Bashful Butler is delicious. Like most places, summer weekends get booked quickly, and the winter months tend to have the most availability. But what I really love is the commitment to preserving the history of the ranch. From the barn, to the family house moved from across the street when the school was built, to the acre still being farmed 118 (!) years after the Hurst family purchased the land. Charlie Hurst, the patriarch, was a generous guy who was community oriented, and I think he would be really happy to see the school children who come for field trips or to learn about growing food and delicious ways to enjoy it. The annual Harvest Festival in October is a lot of fun, with all the various activities like: making butter, squeezing fresh orange juice, crafts for the kids, a fairy garden, petting zoo, tours of the farmhouse, live...

Aesthetically is a very nice place from the outside.

As a venue though, things went south fast. Fire alarm went off for over two hours during my cousins reception. No staff knew how to turn it off and even had to call the fire department, which they couldn’t help either.

Room got so hot and stuffy as well. People kept having to go outside for fresh air. Mind you it’s night time and it shouldn’t be getting that hot.

Hurst ranch definitely wouldn’t make my list for future events. Hope my cousins get compensated somewhat for a fire alarm being on and...
