Weddings at Alisal

Alisal Ranch Wedding Venues

Imagine an enchanted locale where nature provides a swoon-worthy setting for any “I do.” The Alisal’s ceremony and reception locations offer idyllic backdrops for those who find inspiration in our rural ranch setting.

The elegant yet rustic barn-meets-ballroom sets The Alisal apart from other ranch wedding venues in Southern California, as do the rolling foothills, charming barnyard, and soft whinnying of horses. The Alisal’s location in the heart of Santa Barbara Wine Country also means you’ll be able to treat your guests to both fine wine and a ranch-style cookout.

We will consult with you and your wedding planner to finalize every detail—from the perfect menu to wine, flowers, photography, cake, table linens, and spa services. Wedding venues and site visits are by appointment only.

It was my first time visiting the ranch and what an experience! The service was impeccable, the food/drinks were delicious, and the activities and entertainment were amazing. Definitely making this an annual family trip for years to come.
