We went on a wedding tour of the Olana given by Calla and it was an incredible experience. She was very patient and polite and took the time get to know us before giving a grand fabulous tour of this enormous one of a kind property. She also provided very interesting history of the Olana. Every wedding questions we had Calla had a detailed answer to. The videos and photos on social media of this location do not do this place justice. It is a must visit!

The Meadows at Peninsula Ranch was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was seamless, consistent, and very open, which made the planning process a breeze. On the day of, their team worked quietly in the background to ensure everything was perfectly set up - I hardly even noticed them, but they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire event. The quality of their work and the value they provided was amazing. The venue itself has a cozy, country vibe with beautiful natural surroundings that made for a wonderful atmosphere.

Yvonne is just a pleasure to work with... very easy to talk to. Willow Pond Venue is an amazing new venue, with lots of flexibility. If the weather is nice, the reception hall has huge bay doors that can open up to the outside, with a beautiful view of the ceremony site and the pond surrounded by trees. There is also a courtyard area that is conveniently located right near the reception hall, and the other building with Bride/Groom suites. And the parking is right in front of the building, so everything is very close by with paved sidewalks, and that makes set-up and breakdown a breeze! I would highly recommend sending Yvonne a message and scheduling a tour to discuss your upcoming event.

I’ve been to the ranch a few times and seen the progress being made to make this a wonderful venue. The setting and location are such that one gets a feeling of the openness and serenity that being in nature provides. My most recent visit was to celebrate the New Year. Arriving at the ranch, the lights and decorations were welcoming and celebratory of the season. Guests arriving at the ranch were whisked back in time, greeted by entertainers from the great gatsby era. Needless to say food and drink was fantastic and the evening (morning) was capped off with fireworks, celebrating the arrival of the new year. I’m confident that the owners and staff will make your “special” event one to remember.
