Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Built in 1918, this historic home is set on 11 verdant acres, surrounded by miles of farmland at the base of the Conejo foothills. Still family-owned after over a century, it's a truly welcoming place—and you'll feel it from the moment you step foot onto the property and encounter the quaint main house, a white wood-frame Colonial with a trio of dormer windows and a broad brick veranda edged in fragrant star jasmine.
  • A lovely arch brimming with honeysuckle frames the couple as they exchange vows in the Garden, reached by a small flagstone path beside the house. At the center of the gracious site sits a stone birdbath encircled with lacy blooms, and the fluttering of sparrow wings and the occasional butterfly make it seem like spring any time of year.
  • There's plenty of room for dining & dancing on the circular lawn. Flowers are everywhere—some in pots, some growing wild like a delicate dusting of confetti. Dining tables face a thicket of colorful jacarandas, palms, pine trees and all manner of leafy foliage. At night, Tivoli lights twinkle through the jasmine, and Japanese lanterns glow softly like candlelight.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book McCormick Home Ranch, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The venue rental at McCormick Home Ranch in Camarillo includes dressing suites, bistro lights and a property attendant, starting at $7,800. The Sweetheart Package ($13,500 and up) adds tables, chairs, linens, napkins, a dance floor, a bar and setup and teardown of in-house rentals, and the Garden Package ($19,500 and up) adds event servers, bartenders, glassware, ice and nonalcoholic beverages. You'll bring your own licensed caterer and alcohol, and every event needs a professional coordinator and event servers. If rain is forecast, tenting is required and arranged by the ranch at an added cost.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at McCormick Home Ranch, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, it all happens on the ranch's 11 acres. At McCormick Home Ranch, you'll walk a flagstone path to a garden ceremony area with an arch and a stone birdbath, then celebrate on the circular lawn under Tivoli and Japanese lantern lights. The 1918 Colonial main house and its brick veranda make a classic backdrop for photos in between, and up to 250 guests fit for both.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to McCormick Home Ranch or do we have to use yours?

Yes. McCormick Home Ranch welcomes any licensed caterer, including food trucks and BBQ, and you can bring your own alcohol as long as a licensed and insured bartender serves it. You'll need a professional coordinator with liability insurance and event servers too; in-house coordinating by Red Door Events is available, or the ranch can refer you. Rentals and extra lighting come exclusively through the ranch.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at McCormick Home Ranch, and is there a minimum?

At McCormick Home Ranch in Camarillo, the venue rental starts at $7,800 and varies by wedding year. The Sweetheart Package, which adds tables, chairs, linens, a dance floor and a bar, starts at $13,500, and the Garden Package, which also includes servers, bartenders, glassware and ice, starts at $19,500. Since you bring your own caterer and alcohol, those costs are yours to set. Budget for a professional coordinator, and for tenting if rain is in the forecast. Rental items are paid in full two weeks before your wedding.

How long do we get at McCormick Home Ranch, and when does the music have to stop?

McCormick Home Ranch hosts weddings March through November, Friday through Sunday, between 11am and 10pm. Amplified music is allowed outdoors, with some restrictions, and all decorations need to be packed up and off the property by the end of your event.

If it rains on our wedding day at McCormick Home Ranch, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

Since McCormick Home Ranch is an all-outdoor venue, any rain in the forecast means tenting is required, and the ranch handles all the tent logistics for you. You can get a quote for tenting at any time, so it's smart to ask early and build it into your plan. Weddings are held March through November.

What makes McCormick Home Ranch different from the other venues near it?

McCormick Home Ranch is a 1918 family-owned ranch in Camarillo, set on 11 acres at the base of the Conejo foothills, and you work directly with the family who has cared for it for generations. You can bring your own caterer (food trucks and BBQ included) and your own alcohol, and your pets are welcome on the property. Garden ceremonies, a lawn reception under lantern lights and a big lighted parking lot make it an easy, relaxed day for everyone.

Can we tour McCormick Home Ranch, and what should we ask while we're there?

Yes, McCormick Home Ranch books appointments to see the property, and there's a 360 virtual tour online if you want a preview first. When you visit, walk from the garden ceremony area to the circular lawn, see the dressing suites, and ask about tenting costs, the Sweetheart and Garden packages, and the ranch's coordinator referrals.
