This venue had it all! The staff was amazing and so so helpful through every step of the process. Little need for decor as this venue speaks for itself. Great options for ceremony and reception and cocktail hour. Phenomenal prices for what you are getting and plenty of parking for all. You can bring in your own vendors which is great but they also have their own to recommend as well. A real DIY situation which is great! So many photo opps and a very rustic/country feel. The venue used to be home to a blacksmith business and therefore there are cool wood structures and old historic machinery on the premise that give it a timely feel. Highly recommend!

The Aliso Viejo Ranch was the venue of our dreams! Andrew and all of the other staff were extremely helpful during the entire planning process. They are very responsive. They have great vendors to recommend and the space is beautiful. It was a great amount of space for our wedding of 125 guests. 10 stars for the Aliso Viejo Ranch!

The team here is amazing! From the first email to all communication through out the planning, they were on top of it! I will share that as a past Client, beware that the venue itself (due to the city requirements) does require a lot from your vendors, but the team will help walk you through it all (& having an outside coordinator will help!)I threw an event here to celebrate 10 years of my photography business with over 100 clients coming to celebrate and this was the perfect venue to do so. Not only was the team great with communication, but they already have all the tables and chairs (plus in house linen rental for the tables) which helped with one less vendors. The option of using partial barn and using the patio was perfect for my vision and guests where able to easily move from inside and out. They set up everything of theirs up and then it is a perfect venue for everything else that you want to DIY!The day of the event went so smooth and so many of the guests were amazed at how beautiful the venue was and some clients (who are current and past wedding couples) teased that they wish they booked this venue as their venue. As a past bride myself, I wish this venue was around 5 years ago, so I could have had my wedding here, too! Whether you are planning a wedding or any type of event, this venue is IT!! Book the tour and then book them for it! It will be worth it!! :)

Thank you Thank you AV Ranch. Jessica @ AV you were an absolute Joy to work with on such an unpredictable day. My business Partner Jessica and I @perfcetpair_events had our first experience coordinating at AV Ranch this past weekend. It was raining on and off. Our bride wanted so badly to have her ceramony outside and though that did not work out, Jessica and her staff made indoors work like a charm. With so many last minute changes, Jessica and the rest of the staff, where so accommodating. Thank you for all the help and all your patience on such a rainy Day,we hope to bring some of our brides back to Aliso Viejo Ranch.

Aliso Viejo Ranch is such a lovely and unique event venue, with a great team of people to work with! I coordinated a big engagement party there a few weekends ago, and everything went off without a hitch! We utilized the Western Patio, which was perfect for all our event needs—plenty of outdoor space for almost 200 guests, a taco stand, two bar set-ups, a churro truck (parked in the loading zone of the parking lot)—and of course the gorgeous rustic ranch feel was a nice complement to it all. Andrew, Nick, Jessica and the rest of the AVR team all helped make the planning process so seamless, which made the day-of coordination that much smoother all day/night! Thank you Aliso Viejo Ranch, will definitely be recommending you for future clients in need of a unique space for their special event!

Nick, Andrew, and the rest of the staff at AVR were amazing. My wife and I got married there a few weeks ago and we had an incredible experience. We're grateful for their quick responses, availability, and support both leading up to and on our big day. The staff was respectful towards our families and our wedding planner, and we got more compliments than I can count about how beautiful the venue was. If you are thinking of booking with AVR, I would strongly recommend it!

The Barn at Aliso Viejo Ranch is a hidden gem in southern Orange County. Not only is this venue a newly renovated facility, it is a pay per hour venue, allowing you flexibility if you are a bride looking for a little extra savings. The venue is beautiful on its own, with outdoor lighting, greenery, wood details, and of course the red barn! We chose to do the ceremony in front of the barn and the reception outside on the Western Patio. You can also rent the inside of the barn, which was reassuring for us to have a backup in case it rained on the day of our wedding. You are able to bring in your own vendors which is also a great way to save money, and make sure the food and other vendors are unique to you! They only require you to use one of their preferred vendors for alcohol, which made sense to me and the company we went with was amazing. Nick and Andrew helped me from the beginning. Andrew led me and my husband through a tour of the venue and answered any questions we had. Their communication was excellent and they were always quick to respond. This made the process much more stress free because they were there to help the whole time. The venue also provides chairs and tables for the ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, which they set up for you on the day of your wedding. I am so thankful we chose this venue for our wedding and managed to secure a date! We were able to achieve our dream wedding within our budget. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

Incredible venue and incredible people! Super responsive! Thorough in answering all our questions! All-around incredible service. We were nervous about having enough ice and they went ahead and filled a whole cooler with ice for us before our reservation even started! We toured the venue when there was still open construction and I forgot close-toed shoes (required). Andrew (coordinator) even offered for me to borrow a pair of his! Andrew and the other staff are professional and kind! Great to work with! The venue itself is beautiful and hipster! VERY well taken care of! It has lots of little areas with greenery, trees, rustic barns, and desert cacti -- great for a variety of photos! The pricing can vary a lot because everything is a-la-carte. There were a few things we had to pay that we weren't expecting, but they all made sense. I didn't get too frustrated because I knew they just had policies they had to follow. And I knew that we were getting a great deal! Bonus! Chairs and tables are included! And so is their setup! So great! They just charge for linens (but they also put those on for you). We had a taco man provide the food. It was about $10 per person, + like $50 for an OCFA permit. Going with this kind of venue (one that allows outside vendors) is a GREAT way to stay within your budget. Ours was $10,000 for 150 people and we ended up being under that. Choosing this venue really made that possible!

This is going to be a bit long, but if you are going to plan a wedding and want to use this place, I promise you this is worth the read.Let us just start off with the positive, because I believe there is no such thing as 1 star service if you haven't even opened yet.The facility is beautiful, and would be an amazing place to have a wedding. When I walked it in February, I knew this was the place that I wanted to get married. The staff at the time was very easy to work with, very helpful, and overall made me feel like it was safe to start telling people this was the place and to move forward from here.Fast forward a few weeks, and red flags just start popping up left and right. I will not get into every little detail, but I will give you the important ones.They send my fiancé and I the price sheet, it is very nice has multiple price ranges that we can work around, we go over everything including food options and find what we feel will fit our party the best. With 150+ people we want to make sure everything is good moving forward so nothing falls through the cracks. Here comes red flag number 1, called them a few times to try and get a bit more info to send them the reservation sheet, and was hung up on more than once, calling is a nightmare. Ok so maybe they were flooded or the calls kept getting \"disconnected\

I really wanted this to be our wedding venue. The initial price was within our budget and we started contacting additional vendors from the venue’s preferred list. After a month of going back and forth with the barn, several contradictions on their end, and price changes (that doubled our initial quote), we decided to move on. This is a beautiful venue but I do not think they are ready to host a wedding anytime soon.
