Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This spectacular venue, tucked inside the Angeles National Forest, is full of surprises. It's a place where you can steal a kiss beneath a willow tree with your sweetie, or surprise 'em with a peck from a friendly camel. Guests can mingle with you, and also with goats, alpacas, and mini-horses. The whole 15-acre property feels like a secluded mountain escape, but it's just 30 minutes from downtown L.A.
- The natural landscape surrounding the ranch provides an exquisite backdrop for al fresco celebrations. Chaparral-covered hills rise behind the pretty ceremony site, where a paved aisle leads to a pergola backed by oaks. Receptions are held in the main garden area, outfitted with a rustic outdoor bar, dance floor, decorative shades, and trees draped in glowing bistro lights to illuminate the proceedings.
- Your guest list won't be complete without some special animal guests of honor, which might include Herbie the camel, Cupcake the mini horse, or—if you're feeling adventurous—burmese pythons, bearded dragons, tortoises, and tarantulas. There's also the option to camp overnight in a lovely private setting, nestled beside a burbling creek.
