The Barn at Aliso Viejo Ranch Reviews

The place is STUNNING! My husband and I had our wedding here and it was exactly what we wanted and more. The staff is friendly and very communicative. The employee “Andrew” was the one who helped us the most and he always responded quickly when we had a question about anything. Thanks Andrew!
The pricing was very reasonable especially compared to everywhere else. We saved so much money choosing this place but you’d never know it because it’s beautiful. We received so many compliments on the venue alone and told people the price and some of our Guest are actually looking into renting it for an event themselves.

There are also so many stunning areas to take picture at on the property. The photos I’m posting are all taken here on property at AVR.

One complaint is that there needs to be more air ventilation and AC in the dressing rooms. We were all sweating to death getting ready.

But other than that…. All around YES for this place!!

We loved our day at The Barn! From the start of the planning process to the actual day, everyone was attentive, organized, and reliable with their communication! We mostly worked with Andrew and Jessica, both of whom were beyond helpful! The venue itself is gorgeous and offers rental by the hour!
We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

The AV ranch was perfect for our wedding of 125 guests. We loved the ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and reception inside. Andrew was especially helpful and responsive during the planning process. It is a great DIY venue. They also have amazing vendors to recommend! Thanks to Andrew and staff for making our big day PERFECT!

Thank you Thank you AV Ranch. Jessica @ AV you were an absolute Joy to work with on such an unpredictable day. My business Partner Jessica and I @perfcetpair_events had our first experience coordinating at AV Ranch this past weekend. It was raining on and off. Our bride wanted so badly to have her ceramony outside and though that did not work out, Jessica and her staff made indoors work like a charm. With so many last minute changes, Jessica and the rest of the staff, where so accommodating. Thank you for all the help and all your patience on such a rainy Day,we hope to bring some of our brides back to Aliso Viejo Ranch.

Aliso Viejo Ranch is such a lovely and unique event venue, with a great team of people to work with! I coordinated a big engagement party there a few weekends ago, and everything went off without a hitch! We utilized the Western Patio, which was perfect for all our event needs—plenty of outdoor space for almost 200 guests, a taco stand, two bar set-ups, a churro truck (parked in the loading zone of the parking lot)—and of course the gorgeous rustic ranch feel was a nice complement to it all. Andrew, Nick, Jessica and the rest of the AVR team all helped make the planning process so seamless, which made the day-of coordination that much smoother all day/night! Thank you Aliso Viejo Ranch, will definitely be recommending you for future clients in need of a unique space for their special event!

The Barn at Aliso Viejo Ranch is a hidden gem in southern Orange County. Not only is this venue a newly renovated facility, it is a pay per hour venue, allowing you flexibility if you are a bride looking for a little extra savings. The venue is beautiful on its own, with outdoor lighting, greenery, wood details, and of course the red barn! We chose to do the ceremony in front of the barn and the reception outside on the Western Patio. You can also rent the inside of the barn, which was reassuring for us to have a backup in case it rained on the day of our wedding. You are able to bring in your own vendors which is also a great way to save money, and make sure the food and other vendors are unique to you! They only require you to use one of their preferred vendors for alcohol, which made sense to me and the company we went with was amazing. Nick and Andrew helped me from the beginning. Andrew led me and my husband through a tour of the venue and answered any questions we had. Their communication was excellent and they were always quick to respond. This made the process much more stress free because they were there to help the whole time. The venue also provides chairs and tables for the ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, which they set up for you on the day of your wedding. I am so thankful we chose this venue for our wedding and managed to secure a date! We were able to achieve our dream wedding within our budget. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

Incredible venue and incredible people! Super responsive! Thorough in answering all our questions! All-around incredible service. We were nervous about having enough ice and they went ahead and filled a whole cooler with ice for us before our reservation even started! We toured the venue when there was still open construction and I forgot close-toed shoes (required). Andrew (coordinator) even offered for me to borrow a pair of his! Andrew and the other staff are professional and kind! Great to work with!

The venue itself is beautiful and hipster! VERY well taken care of! It has lots of little areas with greenery, trees, rustic barns, and desert cacti -- great for a variety of photos!

The pricing can vary a lot because everything is a-la-carte. There were a few things we had to pay that we weren't expecting, but they all made sense. I didn't get too frustrated because I knew they just had policies they had to follow. And I knew that we were getting a great deal!

Bonus! Chairs and tables are included! And so is their setup! So great! They just charge for linens (but they also put those on for you).

We had a taco man provide the food. It was about $10 per person, + like $50 for an OCFA permit. Going with this kind of venue (one that allows outside vendors) is a GREAT way to stay within your budget. Ours was $10,000 for 150 people and we ended up being under that. Choosing this venue really made that possible!
