Everyone at Live Oak made it easy for us to achieve the wedding setup we envisioned. From showing us photos of the space with others' decor, to sending us links with suggestions, coming to the venue to help us plan at times that worked for us, working with us to create a checklist and timeline, and showing up early/ staying late to clean up, we felt that the people at Live Oak really wanted to help us achieve the wedding that worked for us. On the day of the wedding, it was nice to have the Cottage as a room to prep and primp, and I was able to see the arriving guests while staying unseen. We also stored flowers in the kitchen fridge, which helped keep them fresh. Overall, we were consulted as to our wishes prior to the event, then during the actual wedding, things that needed to be done "behind the scenes" were taken care of, which left us able to focus on our guests and each other.

Matthew and Holly were absolutely wonderful to work with—so professional, quick to respond, and genuinely kind. We live out of town and they were always there to address any questions or concerns, making our planning process a breeze. The venue itself is stunning, with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony site, a beautiful tent for dinner, and a barn for the reception—truly everything in one place! The Ranch House was perfect for my entire bridal party to stay onsite, and it was spacious enough for all of us to get ready together. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue’s intimate feel and its close proximity to the charming Arroyo Grande Village. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better people to work with, and we highly recommend Tar Creek Ranch for an unforgettable wedding day!
