“Our wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch was simply magical. Everyone is so easy to work with-kind, responsive, and so helpful. The property is stunning and our guests were all in awe by the the beauty of this place. There are so many great photo opportunities, and the fact that you can bring everything in really allows you to tailor your big day as you see fit. Our wedding was perfect for us-it was not cookie cutter or formulaic. It fit us because we were able to design it just the way we wanted, and in the end the effort was so worth it and we could not be more grateful we chose this beautiful place to get married at.”

“I could not image a better place to get married, we are so happy we decided to have our wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch! Between the ocean views, beautiful hills, the lovely sea view meadow, and the picturesque blue barn, everywhere you looked was absolutely stunning. Having the venue from Friday-Sunday was also really great! We had such a fun and beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Sea View Meadow! The Sea View Meadow was amazing on its own, and was really neat to be there the night before in a more intimate setting and looking forward to the following day. Both the “hen house” and airstream trailer, where the bridal and groomsmen have to get ready before, were so beautiful and special. Both my husband and I really enjoyed having these separate spaces to be with the our wedding parties before the ceremony and get pumped for our wedding! Everyone we talked to at the wedding commented on how amazing the venue was. Not only was it an amazing space, but the property managers Jonna and Reid, and the owner Kyla, were incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with. There is so much planning that goes into weddings, and they were amazing every step of the way and helped us make our dream wedding a reality. Thank you Jonna, Reid, and Kyla for having such an amazing place, and helping to make our wedding the best weekend of our lives!”

“Our entire experience at Swallow Creek was exceptional, we couldn't have asked for a better venue and better people to work with! Like many Covid couples, we had to postpone our wedding and Kyla (venue owner) was super understanding and accommodating. Jonna and Reid (property managers) were fantastic to work with and extremely helpful. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for your special day.

I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an ocean view venue. The bridal suite is truly picture perfect and made for great getting ready photos. Both the Seaview Meadow and the Hilltop ceremony locations offer exceptional ocean views. We got married at Seaview Meadow, which had gorgeous natural flowers that brought in monarch butterflies on our wedding weekend (which made it even more special and magical). The barn offered plenty of space for our guests during our reception and was the perfect location to dance the night away with family and friends. We are incredibly grateful to have found this venue and cannot speak more highly of its charm and the folks that run it.”

“As a local wedding planner, we love working with Jonna, Reid and Kyla at Swallow Creek Ranch. Their team is communicative and so incredibly helpful leading up to and on event-day. They are the most attentive and thoughtful hosts, the gold-standard for me when it comes to how an event venue operate.

I greatly appreciate all that SCR has to offer in terms of locations, "extras" they provide like heaters, furniture, and a parking lot team member. Accommodations like the bridal suite and clean/accessible on-site restrooms in the barn are a planner's dream. We look forward to every event at Swallow Creek because we know our clients are being well taken care of and we have a great venue to support us!”

Planning a wedding at Swallow Creek was a complete joy. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. They pitched in to make my ideas happen and were so quick to respond when I had a question. The barn and surrounding property is so pretty and an ideal spot for any nature lovers. They offer so much while still keeping the vibe relaxed and intimate. I can't wait to be back at Swallow Creek for another event.
