Walnut Grove at Tierra Rejada Farms 3370 Sunset Valley Rd • Moorpark • CA 93021

The road into this charming 120-acre ranch follows along a creek, past a majestic stand of eucalyptus and row upon row of walnut trees. The main celebration area is a clearing in the midst of a 50-year-old walnut grove, where a brick path in a feathery green meadow makes a beautiful wedding aisle. Couples say their vows beneath a tapestry of intertwining branches that form a natural canopy overhead.

Not far from the grove, a brick patio sweeps around a huge polished dance floor at the foot of a cut-stone stage. Fashioned in three side-by-side sections, the stage inspires imaginative flourishes: Put your DJ in one section, lounge furniture in another, and the wedding cake or sweetheart table in the center for maximum effect.

The patio and stage are partially enclosed by a rustic stone wall, topped by a wooden pergola that looks enchanting when strung with fairy lights or floral garlands. Guests dine at rectangular, rich wood tables arranged family-style on the patio, and at night the entire space is thoroughly captivating: The large flagstone fireplace set into the stone wall becomes a source of light and warmth—glowing candles can be placed along its mantel, while a fire blazes in its hearth. All around, a galaxy of twinkling lights in the tree branches echoes the starry sky above.
