Eight Reasons Why Vintage Ranch Is My Favorite Venue For Elopements 2021

Vintage Ranch, Paso Robles

Super Cute

Reason #1 - this place is designed for great photos. If you didn’t know, Vintage Ranch was featured on Netflix’ “Stay Here”. Needless to say, the design guru genius of Genevieve Gorder’s paid off here. SO many little details and little touches that all add up to make this an amazing little retreat and spot to tie the knot. I mean, even the deck has these rad decals - check them out on my IG. If you have seen the episode and fell in love with Paso Robles, then this might be the coolest venue for an elopement or wedding!

Olive Grove

Check out this olive grove! There are like 20 olive trees on this property to pose in front of! This honestly was one of my favorite features of this wedding venue! Being a California native and having photographed weddings on the Central Coast for the last 3 years (originally from Southern California), you see vineyards everywhere you go, something I am totally cool with, but you never see legit olive trees! Kudos to Vintage Ranch.

This place grows their own wine! Enough said? Not only do you get those amazing hundred year old oak trees in your photos but you also get aged vines as well! Having done social media content for Albatross Ridge for the past year I have been able to learn more about this process and the first thing that stood out to be was the size of the vines! To wine snobs like me this gets me stoked as this indicates an older vine and typically more interesting wine! If you love wine, Vintage Ranch is going to be a perfect destination as you are surrounded by about 200 wineries and vineyards.

Variety

Vintage Ranch has so many options to chose from. Patricia and Christopher decided to tie the knot in the Olive Grove. The lighting was perfect as a melted through the branches it cast this amazing backlight and truly felt magical in a way only the Central Coast of California can make it. As I was photographing, I was reminded, “oh yeah, this is why people come here from all over the world.”

Cottage

This little cottage, the one that was featured in Stay Here, is so cute! So you can rent this place for you own little getaway and then use the property as an elopement venue! This is probably the number one reason why Vintage Ranch is my favorite elopement location. When couples elope on the Central Coast of California, they want that romantic, unique, and totally laid back experience. The Vintage Ranch Cottage doesn’t just offer that laid back, secluded vibe, it also looks and feels great too!

The Oak tree

Besides the olive groves and grapes vines, something people travel from all over the world for, Vintage Ranch in Paso Robles has the amazing Oak Tree. Thinking about an epic backdrop for your elopement ceremony, look no further! This tree is so magical and perfect for a mini wedding or elopement.

Every Season Elopement

One of the draws for Paso Robles and the Central Coast is the perfect weather. Paso seems to get better and better throughout the year. You have the winter rains that bring the green, and the weather is PERFECT, then the summer heat which provides that golden backdrop, Vintage Ranch is the perfect spot in Paso for an elopement because it sits on this little hill overlooking a valley that reflects all these gorgeous changes throughout the year.

The Barn

Did I mention Vintage Ranch has a big red bard? What would a wedding in Wine Country be without a barn? During this elopement the weather was beautiful so we stayed outdoors but I know you can use the space for receptions. Plus it looks so cool from out outside!
