    I loved my wedding here! The grounds are expansive and you have a lot of areas to choose from. We had an original plan for ceremony site and morning of their was a mishap but Rochelle was quick to help us enact plan B! Rochelle was loved to work with, she was quick and responsive ,very helpful to bounce a few ideas off of and answered my dozens of questions. The Ranch house was a large plus side for us as we wanted to the wedding party to be able to get ready on site and they were able to hose our large party. It's worth it's weight in gold just being able to have a ceremony and reception at the same site. Definitely would come back here again!

    My experience with Panoche Creek River Ranch was absolutely incredible! There was not one moment where I felt stressed or nervous. Rochelle was amazing and easy to work with! Everything was on time, flowed so well, and my husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding day and days leading to it! I would highly recommend this gorgeous venue and their awesome team! Thank you again Panoche Creek River Ranch! -Love, The Diaz's

    Panoche Creek River Ranch was a DREAM to work with. Rochelle is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and always available to answer questions or just reassure a stressed out bride about the wedding details. The venue is gorgeous and versatile - no two weddings or events are the same there! The grounds are immaculate and made for the perfect backdrop to our ceremony and reception. We would highly recommend this venue and Rochelle!

    My husband and I got married at Panoche Creek River Ranch in April 2017 and we had an amazing experience. We fell in love with the venue at first sight. Rochelle is the event coordinator there and she's very flexible and always willing to help. She worked hand in hand with our other vendors to ensure that our special day went smooth as planned. Unfortunately, we weren't able to have our ceremony in the location we originally wanted by the creek, since we had a ton of rain this year. However, the venue provided so many other beautiful locations for our ceremony. Rochelle was very flexible with our last minute changes on the day of, which we are grateful for. One of the main hits at our wedding was this venue. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful our wedding location was. We are very happy with how everything turned out, and it couldn't have been possible without the help of this Rochelle. Thank you!

    My daughter's November 12 wedding was held at this stunningly beautiful venue. As soon as we saw the place, my daughter said, "We can stop looking! This is it!" Rochelle, our contact (and ultimately, wedding day coordinator) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Lovely tall trees, beautiful large grassy areas, walnut orchards surrounding, the river behind: gorgeous! The two-story ranch house was ours for the entire wedding day and provided a great space for the bridal party. A golf cart was handy to transport our bridal party and guests (if needed) to the wedding site. Rochelle is experienced and helped me (as the planner) to get all details covered and the vendors all coordinated. I highly recommend this venue for weddings!

    Panoche Creek River Ranch's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Kathy! From initial showing to the big day, your family was such a pleasure to work with. Your organization and attention to detail made the process a breeze. We would love to have you back anytime!!

    Panoche Creek River Ranch and Rochelle absolutely made my wedding a dream come true. My biggest thing when searching for a venue was natural beauty -- I had dreamed of going up to Bass Lake or Yosemite, but after realizing most of our guests were coming from out of town already, an additional 1-2 hour drive was probably pushing it. We decided on finding something a little closer to home. And I can't stress how glad I am that we did!!! The grounds themselves are gorgeous: rolling green grass, huge oak trees, and the San Joaquin River running behind the ceremony site. It was love at first sight! I also was looking for a house or something of the sort for all of my girls to get ready in before the wedding, and Panoche Creek has a little farmhouse that has a large flat screen tv, full kitchen, and plenty of room to relax (or try to!) the day of. I had my bridesmaids (eight girls), my mom & my mother-in-law all getting ready in there with me. Also, the lady doing our flowers did all of the finishing touches/ prepping in another room. It was the perfect size! My groom & his groomsmen along with his dad & my dad eventually went upstairs in the farmhouse for photo purposes -- & there was still no chance of them seeing me or any of the BMs.

    As for working with Rochelle, I can't recommend her enough. Every single question I had, no matter how annoying it was, promptly & politely answered all of them! She was such a dream to work with -- professional yet personal, too! We met with her & she helped us pick out linens, tables, chairs, etc., & she was extremely helpful! We had a slightly stressful mishap the day of (at no fault of the venue's), and she was on top of it & taken care of in no time.

    I've had newly engaged couples ask me if I have any recommendations on venues (because I saw so many!) & Panoche Creek is the very first one on my list. Between the natural beauty of the venue, to the farmhouse, to the amazing coordination behind it -- you truly can't go wrong.

    Panoche Creek River Ranch's reply:

    We just LOVED having the opportunity to host your wedding day! It was a gorgeous celebration. What a fun family and group of friends you're surrounded by. I loved our random chats about the details and quick meetings we had throughout the process :) Wishing you and Zach all the best and hope we run into each other soon!

    PCRR is an absolutely gorgeous venue that is still close to town. The ranch house that you can use to get ready is awesome and very comfortable. The very best thing about this venue is the manager/coordinator, Rochelle! Rochelle is super accommodating and very responsive to any and all things. When we had problems with a few of our rental items, Rochelle got the party rental company back out there to make everything perfect in plenty of time. I wish I had hired her to be our day of coordinator, because she was that amazing. Perfect venue for a perfect day!!

    From beginning to end, Rochelle made the experience stress free and of course fun. We were on a budget and had to cut down on pretty much everything we originally wanted. It actually worked out well because we didn't need much. the venue was absolutely perfect. Lush green grass, beautiful trees framing our ceremony spot and head table. It was as if the trees were strategically placed for our wedding! Haha
    We Paid a little extra for day of planning which ended up being the most valuable addition. Rochelle understood exactly what We envisioned and added special touches that pulled everything together. She even helped make a bridesmaid bouquet for us when we realized we were short one. It looked just like the others! We received a ton of compliments and we were extremely happy with all the vendors recommended by Rochelle. I love all the pictures not only because it was our wedding but because of the perfect backdrop!
    I would absolutely use Rochelle and Panoche Creek River Ranch again!

    Panoche Creek River Ranch's reply:

    Thanks for everything, Lupe! You and Brian were so much fun to work with. Your group definitely knows how to have a good time and how to celebrate the exciting journey as newlyweds :) We'd love to have you all back anytime there is need for a party! Wishing you both all the best!

    Rochelle was great to work with! I must have emailed or texted her 10 times a day and she responded promptly every single time. She took care of arranging rentals through the rental company which meant one less person that I needed to coordinate with. She even ran to the store at the last minute on my wedding day to purchase wine glasses which were accidentally left off the rental agreement! Panoche Creek River Ranch was absolutely gorgeous. We had an early April wedding and were blessed with perfect weather. The grounds were green and neatly groomed. The ranch house was a fabulous option for getting ready the day of the wedding. It reduced our stress to have the entire wedding party get ready on location in the same area (guys upstairs, girls downstairs). Even though they spray for mosquitoes the night before the event, I would recommend providing bug spray for your guests. We had only 1 can and it was the most highly desired item there during dusk! If I ever need to host another large event, PCRR will be first on my list of venues!

    Panoche Creek was a dream come true. We signed on over a year in advance to have our wedding ceremony and reception at their venue, not knowing much about them since it was just the very beginning of their first full year of weddings, but we fell in love with the grounds within moments of our first meeting and walk-thru. Rochelle is an absolute doll to work with, and is incredible at what she does. Her passion for people, and event planning was very apparent and she was so helpful and available whenever we had questions. The venue itself is very well-maintained, practically decorates itself, and has SO many options for both the ceremony and reception. Our wedding in September was more perfect that we could have ever imagined, and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

    Panoche creek did an absolute amazing job with mine and my husbands special day! It was so relaxing knowing that everything would be taken care of from setting up the tables to organizing the chairs for the ceremony!! I honestly couldn't ask for anything better!!

    Pacoche Creek River Ranch was the perfect place for a nice,simple, outdoor wedding. but I could also visualize a huge, extravagant event being held in the same location. It is very versatile. Everything went without a hitch. The ceremony was held by the water and the golf cart provided some of our older guests help to the site. It was amazing. Rochelle was always immediately available and extremely helpful for any questions I had.

    Great venue!

    Panoche Creek is such a beautiful open area that you can literally turn into whatever you want. Rochelle was a blessing to work with. We loved the Venue! The only complaint was that the house we were able to use on site to get ready in was dirty. You would think with all the deposits/security/liability insurance you have to pay in advance we wouldn’t have to sweep the floors ourselves. But if i could relive my wedding day I wouldn’t want to have it anywhere else.

    Panoche Creek River Ranch's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks for putting together a dream of a vendor team. Your wedding was absolutely STUNNING!!! I especially appreciated you and Sam being such a pleasure to work with (and Cassandra, we love Cassandra)! First time having the faux barn on site and it was definitely a way to start off with a bang :)

    I'm very sorry the floors were dirty! The house was cleaned the week prior but we didn't have events in between so should have been spotless upon your arrival. We did have the house open the morning prior to your wedding to allow anything needing storing overnight to be brought in so I'm not sure if they were in the same shape that morning or after. I truly apologize and appreciate your feedback so I can keep a closer eye moving forward!

    Thanks again for everything and hope we cross paths again soon!

    Best,
    Rochelle

    The location was beautiful. It was everything we was looking for in terms of a beautiful outside wedding. This venue is for the DIY couple, you have to rent/provide everything. The price was a bit high for my taste, but I loved the location so much, I saved on decorations and let the natural beauty of the trees be my decor.
