Ceremonies

Tucked away in a natural riparian forest just one mile from Temecula Wine Country, Golden Valley Ranch offers an unforgettable setting for couples seeking a wedding steeped in natural beauty, soulful energy, and heartfelt connection.

Surrounded by rolling hills, sacred oaks, eucalyptus, and pepper trees—and rich with Native American history—our ranch spans hundreds of private acres, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility.

We welcome full weddings (up to 125 guests), micro-weddings (under 40 guests), and intimate elopements. Whether you're planning a weekend-long celebration or a simple ceremony under the trees, we have a package to fit your vision.

• Ceremony Options as Unique as You Are

Golden Valley Ranch offers four distinct ceremony locations, each with its own character and charm:

Golden Valley View
Ancient Rocks
Lilac Tree
The Meadow

From elegant to earthy, quiet to grand—we help you choose the perfect space to reflect your love story. We also host engagement parties, welcome dinners, and post-wedding brunches for a full celebration weekend.

Every wedding here is bespoke—we welcome you to customize your experience down to the last detail.

• Celebrate & Stay in Style

Couples and their guests enjoy exclusive use of our spacious ranch house, which features:

Comfortable queen beds in serene, nature-view rooms
Indoor and outdoor lounges for relaxing and getting ready
Shaded terraces for stargazing, cocktails, or coffee at sunrise

Enjoy farm-to-table, chef-prepared meals crafted with seasonal ingredients—or bring in your own dream team of vendors.

Whether it's a single enchanted day or a full weekend retreat, the setting is yours to shape.

• More Than a Venue—An Experience

Golden Valley Ranch is alive with natural magic. Hike peaceful trails, sip local wine on the terrace, and share your vows as hawks soar above. Rabbits, owls, songbirds, and squirrels are frequent guests, adding to the wonder of the moment.

With ancient stone kitchens carved into boulders and traces of the land’s Native American heritage woven throughout, there is a sacredness here that makes every ceremony feel timeless.

We believe your wedding should be more than an event—it should be a sacred memory, set in a place that feels like home.
