    I got married here on 10/13/22 in the birchwood room and we had a great time! It was everything we dreamed of and the staff was attentive. I had a full time planner which I highly recommend. Thank you for a romantic night I will never ever forget! We now have a baby and moved our lives out of state! Thank you for such a romantic wedding. I grew up in this area so it was super meaningful to me. The food was fantastic! I'll attach some Photos from our tasting. P.S my photographers videographers coordinator and Dj had access to full bar and food just like the guests. They need sustenance too! Cheers!

    I just went to my son's wedding here and the place is beautiful- with trees and meadows and waterfalls-oh my!!!! The one thing I asked my son and bride to be was the importance of the food for the guests ( I didn't need to ask since they are both foodie connoisseurs ). But all our guests enjoyed the hors d'oeuervs, and complimented on the dinners. You get what you pay for and this was great. I can't say much about the service since their wedding planner coordinated everything, but the venue and the food is beautiful and good. The newlyweds stayed 3 nights there and it was luxurious!

    Beautiful property, we have been at friends weddings here, so we like the venue. Very easy to find, they have good signage, classy decor, big place, very Californian in a good way with lots of nature and vegetation around, very green. We have been here in the winter as well, still nice and woodsy, great decorations during the holidays. Calamigos Ranch is a nice getaway, very close to the city!

    What a beautiful venue for events! This ranch is very classy, beautiful, and gives tranquility vibes! I'm happy I was invited here for my friends job picnic, it was a very good time for sure. Professional staff here soon as you arrive they tell you where to go and park. They had nice valet parking that was complementary for the event, and I was able to walk through the ranch to see all what they have to offer! They have a coffee shop, restaurant, and you can view the nice rooms as you walk through the venues. Just very beautiful and well kept up. I see why many people have weddings here because it's quite memorable, which great photos to capture. I would love to stay here but I would have to save up some coins because it's not cheap, but I see why you get what you pay for. It's very worth it! They even had the paddle boats available for us to use, and that was so much fun! This place was perfect for a picnic. I will love to come back and stay when I try the wineries in the area! I hope I get invited to someone's wedding here in the future :)

    Great place for family or day drinking. Areas to play or walk or sit and enjoy the sun.

    WOW! Just wow at this place! We came to Calamigos ranch for a birthday dinner. This place is huge! It's over 200 acres and we got a bit lost at the beginning looking for the restaurant But i wasn't mad at it. It gave us a chance to take a look around. We came at night and the lighting/chandeliers in the trees made everything look like a fairytale place i swear! I can see why a lot of people choose to make this place their wedding venue. Nonetheless, the food at the Calamigos guest ranch and beach club restaurant was amazing! It was super intimate and the inside was just so warm and inviting. The staff was great and we basically ordered the whole menu. NOTHING we ordered left us disappointed. It was all very flavorful and I liked that it was like an asian fusion theme. We'll definitely return because from the moment we arrived to when we left we were left in "Awe" the staff was amazing as well and we loved our waiter.

    Beach side coconuts!

    Staycation Dream! I have been coming to Calamigos for years and to witness the amazing transformation they have been going through is SO IMPRESSIVE. You feel like you have been transported to a magic tree house! My daughter and I went here for a staycation before she heads off to college and it was a truly special experience. From the staff, servers, valets to the front desk , everyone was extremely warm and at the ready to make our stay the most memorable. I especially want to point out the staff at the front desk and spa, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our visit special but especially The Beach Club guys who set us up on the beach and made the hike to and from the club to get us food and drinks. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    Yum....

    This venue is perfect for weddings of all sizes. There are plenty of rooms to choose from and each room has its own characteristics. The food is amazing! It is quite a drive from the San Gabriel Valley area for guests but it's still a good venue for celebrations. Not a fan of the flies and mosquitoes but it's part of the package due to the location in the mountain area.

    The Calamigos Ranch is the luxury destination in Malibu that encompasses both a private ranch as well as an exclusive beachfront beach club. The private Cottages, Bungalows and Estate Rooms are thoughtfully designed to be cozy, intimate spaces to exist sustainably within the undisturbed nature, and the cabins have been created with the rural land. There's a pond inside the ranch area and it's good for pedal boat.

    Calamigos ranch is definitely one of our favorite stays! Thanks to Kurt and his exceptional service/communication I was able to plan a dream vacation and an awesome surprise proposal! Kurt went above and beyond when it came to planning and coordinating our trip/ proposal! We are definitely going to be back! Such a beautiful and relaxing stay!

    Calamigos Ranch is synonymous with elegant, SoCal weddings. Albeit a wedding factory, Calamigos is somehow able to make every wedding feel special, unique, and bespoke. My wife and I's wedding was no exception. From the moment we arrived on our tour, to the moment we left on our big day, most everything was spectacular and our friends and family remarked at how beautiful the venue was. Some of the venue highlights included: +A gorgeous, tree-filled woodland backdrop for the ceremony +A spectacular, twinkle-light studded reception +Attentive and courteous waitstaff +Free use of not only our ceremony location, but also the surrounding gardens and lots +Zero visibility into or cross-contamination with other weddings occurring that day However, there are a few setbacks (and warnings) that prevent me from giving Calamigos a five star review: +The sales office staff were somewhat haughty (and fussed over a small refund they owed me the day before my wedding) +A wedding planner or coordinator was an absolute must (and a month of coordinator is required by Calamigos)--you will not feel very secure navigating all the choices, paperwork, and dates without one +The parking "lot" is ample in size but has no pavement, thus guests complained that it scuffed up shoes and dresses (don't let the bride walk here!) +The signage and instructions to get to the venue are adequate at best and frustrating at worst, leaving some folks scurrying they day off

    Bella Vita Events had the honor of producing events over the last 10 years at the Calamigos Ranch. The venue has been expanding and is always trying to stay up to date, in order to provide the exceptional experiences to our clients. It is a pleasure to work there, and you have the choice in-between several rooms for your event. The Team is flexible and always willing to go the extra mile. If you are looking for a great Venue in the Malibu Mountains, you got it! - THE BELLA VITA EVENTS TEAM

    Wow. Wow. Wow. What an impressive place! The service was top notch as every staff member went above and beyond - from free bottles of water at the pool to a staff member bringing us large bottles of water at the pickle ball courts mid game. There is fresh juice in the lobby at all times. Breakfast at The Ranch was incredible, tho expensive. The French toast was a delicious bread pudding with berry coulis. Lunch at the pool was also great, especially the chicken wrap! Uber had a difficult time finding the ranch multiple times. Ask the valet for a specific address to put in the app. The Valet driver drove up to find our Uber driver and guide him back to pick us up. Pools were nice with very comfortable lounge chairs. Every hour the waitress walked around with a special amenity (chipwich, frozen grapes, face mist). Gym was well equipped- only missing a foam roller, but had all the cardio equipment and weights needed. Cottages were comfy with outdoor showers. Don't make the mistake of sleeping with the heat on in the cottages. It blows on your face and dries you out. Grounds were beautiful, hiking nearby and just an all around a cozy retreat. Can't wait to return!

    See all

    Calamigos Ranch is just a great place for a wedding or a special event. We attended our Nephew's Wedding and the whole event was top notch.

It was a gorgeous wedding, and the venue was wonderful. I can't speak to the planning part or anything (though I know Bret and FeiFei liked working with both the site coordinator Cathy and the owners, Jill and Sparky--I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the Avesta Diaries on this page, but she and her damage are history), but from where I was sitting, the place seemed ideal. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and seated reception all took place at Rancho Del Cielo, in different parts of the scenic grounds. There were about a hundred of us in attendance, and we fit perfectly--there was plenty of room to party, but it felt warm and intimate, too. The views were marvelous before and after sundown, well worth the trek to Malibu (though the drive up seemed long and tricky enough that I was grateful the bride and groom hired shuttles). The decor was on point, charming and well suited to an al fresco California wedding. I had a lovely time at Rancho Del Cielo, and would highly recommend it if you're looking to get hitched in Malibu. The place was beautiful, worthy of the most special of special occasions.

We originally booked a package with them for 150 people, but when we decided to downsize to 36, they only charged us for the 40 person package!

We also used all vendors from their preferred vendors list who were all amazing, professional, and helpful. The venue is also GORGEOUS! We really wanted an outdoor venue with ocean views, but Rancho is also a garden setting on a mountaintop. All of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and amazing this venue is. We cannot recommend Rancho del Cielo enough!!

Our tour guide was amazing and fun to have driving us around making us laugh while giving us awesome history about the property. The property is just gorgeous and so well maintained. I would love to come again during sunset if they do tours at that time because I can only imagine how the sunsets look from those mountain tops! The weather has been strangely hot, so yesterday it was high 80s and so it's a good thing we had our sunblock with us to reapply as we went or we would have been burnt! The views are just spectacular looking over the mountains and seeing the vast land surrounding. It's so amazing and calming and the fresh air just makes you feel great! There were several stops along the way in this fun 4x4, which I admit it was a little hard getting in and out of the 4x4 because I'm so tall and I had to be bent down to avoid bumping/dragging my head on the roof, so I was walking sorta like in a squat position to get out LOL and my legs were already jelly from a workout the day before hahaha! At each stop we were able to do a different wine tasting, and then at our last stop we were treated to a chacuterie board and chocolates. This is where I tasted my favorite, the Saddle Ranch 2021 Malbec, just so smooth and perfect. The guide said it pairs very well with chocolate, but I didn't eat my chocolate at that time, and I actually loved the saltiness of the chacuterie board between each sip of wine. But I will have to get a bottle of the Malbec and try it with Chocolate at some point. There are still animals at the ranch, we saw Llamas and Mules and Donkeys. But if you remember in the old days there used to be Stan the Giraffe, he moved to Texas along with some other animals. I miss you Stanley!!!
