We feel so lucky to be getting married at one of our favorite places - Cummings Ranch. Owned by Richard’s closest friend's family, Cummings Ranch is an iconic working family ranch, nestled in the heart of the Santa Paula Valley. The Ranch grows not only lemons and avocados, but also a love between us that became the commitment we are honored to celebrate here. This land has been in the Cummings family for over 150 years, in Richard’s life for 30, and now Erika’s for 5. Cummings Ranch is a home away from home - a hub whether home was in Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, or San Diego. It was a literal home and refuge to Richard during COVID. Erika would spend weeks and weekends there and our relationship grew from the early morning walks in the orchards to the days working remote to the night time barbecues and games. We come here often to work, play and celebrate, and look forward to that for the rest of our lives!! We are incredibly grateful to the Cummings family for hosting us, and can’t wait to share this special place with all of you.
