Tierra Rejada Ranch's Walnut Grove is snuggled in a pristine valley between the cities of Thousand Oaks and Moorpark. The property covers over 120 acres of prime Southern California land. Typical hot summer daytime temperatures are mild because of gentle ocean breezes from the west. Activities may be located in full sun, in the shade of tall 100' eucalyptus or under 50 year-old walnut trees planted by Monroe himself. For over 13 years there have been thousands of weddings held here where the guests enjoy the chance to be out in the country on a real working farm. The peaceful atmosphere, the towering eucalyptus trees, and the adjacent creek all combine to provide a unique and private location for special occasions. Every effort has been made to accommodate the needs of guests and clients and yet still retain the character and feel of a genuine southern California ranch.

Walnut Grove Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding! Their communication style was very quick and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - the venue had a gorgeous rustic, woodsy and open feel, with no crazy markups. The ambience was truly magical, the staff was on the ball, and the food was incredible. It was the most special day of our lives, not just because it was our wedding, but because the venue and everything about it was so beautiful, comfortable and warm. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.
