Holland Ranch

An incredibly beautiful and well run venue!

Very versatile. We hosted our baby shower here but it's soooo large with so many options that it would make for an epic wedding venue as well.

So clean.
So much parking.
Really really cool vintage barn.

Offers so many amenities that the other venues just do not have.

Above all else. The scenery and views are legit unmatched in San Luis Obispo.

Management was incredibly kind and would recommend this place to anyone interested in a beautiful and quintessential central coast venue!

We had our wedding planned 18 months in advance. We paid Jaime the deposit s per the contract. Then Covid hit and Holland ranch has closed. Jaime kept $1000.00 and did not return it. The contract states nothing about a pandemic. I have hired an attorney who is going to file a civil lawsuit. So fair warning don't book here.

This place is beautiful. Was here for my cousins wedding. The ceremony over looked the hills and valley with the sun setting in the background. The barn space for dinner, dancing, and drinking was also great. The porta potties were clean and pretty fancy with full lighting, running sink, etc. Impressive. While it is quite a ways out of San Luis Obispo, it was a beautiful drive through the hills. Would definitely recommend this location for any party or wedding.

I got married here in 2011. It was the perfect venue and Jaime was the perfect wedding planner. She knew her stuff, was honest and got stuff done. I've been in a lot of weddings and I've never had a wedding run as smoothly as ours and that was solely because Jaime was in charge.

The real reason I'm writing this review is because I read some of the other reviews and I can't respond personally to those so I'm going to say my peace here. OK people who complain and knock off a star because of the landfill...SERIOUSLY? That has nothing to do with Holland Ranch and there is nothing they can do about that. I find those reviews idiotic. And then the reviews that complain about Jaime but then they never even truly worked with her? They met her for maybe 10 minutes!? Also, idiotic! Anyone who truly worked with Jaime knows she is amazing to work with and does an amazing job at what she does!

Ok, I feel better now :)

Jaime Holland Strand went above and beyond!!! I've been in the customer service business for 27 years staring when I was 11 as a paper boy, I currently bartend, however I have managed large operations and hundreds of employees and I would be honored and grateful to have Jamie on my team...you have to check out the beautiful Venue and it's rare to have Phenomenal customer service in this day and age...the venue speaks for it self, however having staff that cares as Jaime does takes your experience to the next level!!!!

Wen't here for a wedding in September. It was beautiful. The ranch that is. Free running horses, a pond with a springboard (although I'm sure the pond is probably too shallow to dive into), a barn decorated for nightlife, and mountains that help create the most fantastic sunsets this part of California.

If you're looking for a very homely, rustic venue for something... don't pass up looking here.

(ps... you can use the grill/ smoker they have there... and its the REAL DEAL)

Absolutely beautiful & surreal. The barn itself is spacious and charming. There's a full kitchen inside (ovens, refrigerator, stove, etc) and there's a large bar area in the main dance floor. The main outdoor barnyard area is huge, but if the weather suddenly takes a turn for the worst it's easy to move everything indoors.

I had my wedding here 11/14/2015. Jaime was such a pleasure to work with. The ranch is beautiful and all of my guests were so in love with the entire venue. The day of coordinating from Jaime was so helpful, she took care of any little detail and made sure I was always updated with what was going on. The suit is such an amazing room to get ready in, I loved being able to spy on my groom and guests as they arrived. It was so nice being able to wake up there and start getting ready! It was the perfect location for the perfect day!

The pictures speak for themselves and once you meet Jaime you'll understand why this venue is so special! It's a very well thought out location and we had nothing but compliments from our friends about the gorgeous views! Jaime is so easy to work with and makes the process so enjoyable! Thanks guys!!!

Holland Ranch has a gorgeous ceremony site. It really is breathtaking. I love the stage and ceremony arch. The barn doesn't look as tacky as some pictures would lead you to believe. The price is nice and the freedom to use any vendors you like is awesome.

However, it is across the street from a landfill (makes you think twice about that cute little pond) and meeting Jaime was like going on a bad first date. I could tell before our venue tour that she had a very distracted personality and was a little too laid back for me. I like laid back but not when I'm dropping a few thousand dollars on a venue. On the tour she said a lot of weird things like thinking it's weird that I was only interested in two venues (I do my homework!) and seemed lost in thought or disinterested. Like any bad first date, everyone was polite and walked away like "thank god that is over". Jaime seems sweet enough and has experience at her family ranch but she's just not for me.

We will not be using Holland Ranch because we fell in love with our other venue & don't want our friends to have to turn right just after the landfill.

I do have to say though that I would use the blue chairs for the reception (probably not for the ceremony). Ha, they aren't for everyone but I kind of loved them.
