He is extremely professional and was great with communication. The ranch is breath taking and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was and how great Gabriel is. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue or venue owner to work with. We took Gabriel's recommendations for a wedding coordinator and bartenders and those were also some of the best vendors to work with. I can honestly say my day went perfectly and a lot of it was due to how great and hands on Gabriel is.

From Website: "The Flying Caballos Ranch was originally owned by the Gaxiolla family in the early 1900's and encompassed several hundred acres. The Gaxiolla's were Swiss immigrants who operated the ranch as a dairy farm; the original farmhouse was built in 1905 for the entire family. In 1952 the guesthouse and studio were built to accommodate one of the brothers who got married and wanted some privacy from his bachelor brother who lived in the main house. The Gaxiolla's grew their own vegetables, vineyard, and orchard. They hunted deer and fished for salmon, all on the ranch. Currently the ranch consists of approximately 100 acres with horse and cattle grazing, a year round creek and unobstructed views of Edna Valley and Islay hill". The property has been completely restored to its original glory. Its a breathtaking vacation rental & special event venu. There are three rentals available including the main ranchouse, the green guest house, and an adjacent studio apartment. We spent the afternoon here the day after Saturday wedding for a family BBQ. I truly didn't want to leave.

We have had the pleasure of attending several industry events on the property over the last year and I can honestly say, every time I am out there, it takes my breath away. The AMAZING 360 views of the vineyards and rolling hills just immediately transport me to a calm and relaxing state. If I could build my dream house there, I would. That's how much I love this property! We recently catered our first wedding at the Oyster Ridge Barn and from a vendor standpoint, I was genuinely impressed with how nice and helpful the onsite staff was the entire event, as well as the thoughtfulness of the catering pad with the stainless steel prep counters, sink, hot water and LIGHTS!!! Not to mention the cooler of water for the vendors. It was all so appreciated and noticed by me and my crew. Not all venues are created equal, so it's really the little things that make a huge difference. Modern conveniences for you and your guests (real bathrooms, accessible parking, built in fans + heaters, lights, etc) make this venue that much better. We're definitely looking forward to more Oyster Ridge weddings!!

If you want a wedding that feels effortless, joyful, and downright unforgettable, The Penny is…read morewhere you do it. We got married here last month and it was the BEST day of our lives!! Choosing to have our day here was hands-down the smartest decision we made. From the second we stepped into the venue for our first tour, everything just clicked. We live in Arizona but knew we wanted to get married on the Central Coast. During our tour, Lauren truly listened to what mattered to us and showed us exactly how those details would come to life on our wedding day. That meant everything. We weren't just potential clients touring a venue, we were fiancés getting ready to celebrate the rest of our lives together, and Lauren never lost sight of that. Once we signed on, our planner Lindsey walked us through every detail with so much confidence and warmth that planning from a state away actually felt easy. Something we didn't really think about during this whole process is just how much time you end up spending with your planner - leaning on them to help you through the day, asking them for advice. By the end of it all, Lindsey felt like an old friend and we knew we could trust her with our vision for the day. The Penny has a preferred vendor list that is absolutely epic, and it was SUPER helpful for people like us who weren't local. They were also completely open to working with any vendors we'd already chosen. We picked our bar and catering from their preferred list and came back out for tastings with each. Both experiences were incredible - I could write full reviews on each of them too!! We also chose to use a few other vendors from their list and we were so glad we did. Great venues attract great partners, and it showed every step of the way. The entire team at The Penny brings real passion to what they do, and you can feel it in every moment. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamless the day was and how stunning the space is. The Penny gave us the wedding we dreamed of and then some - we want to relive this day over and over and over. We cannot recommend The Penny enough!! Makayla and Spencer

In 1997, the Land Conservatory of San Luis Obispo County began to restore the barn for public use. As of this review, the restoration of the barn is almost complete. The barn (approximately 5000 sq. ft.) is made of redwood timbers and has a new, custom shingled replacement redwood roof. There is a cupola on top reaching over 40 feet above the floor. Cupolas are often used to provide a look out or to admit light and air into a structure. There are two additional buildings on the property. The barn is important for 4 reasons: history & culture, architecture, recreation & education, and in December 2013, the barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This iconic landmark on South Higuera is one of only two octagonal barns left in California. The octagon barn will be a community gathering place to promote history, agriculture, recreation, and sustainability. It will host fundraisers, performances, and private events such as weddings.
