    Our Unforgettable Evening

    From the moment we walked into The Victorian House, we knew we had found the perfect place for our "Surprise... we Eloped" celebration. Julia and her team embraced our vision for a fun and unique experience, and they delivered beyond our wildest dreams.

    We did not want a traditional wedding venue or experience. What set The Victorian House apart was its ability to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Our guests loved playing pool, foosball and corn hole, and the fire pits, s'mores and cigar bar added a touch of the Old Hollywood Glam vibe we wanted. Our guests can't stop raving about the location and that it was the most fun and unique wedding they ever attended.

    Julia and her team truly outdid themselves and took care of every detail, from the amazingly delicious craft cocktails to setting up our decor, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day. It was perfect!

    If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience, look no further than The Victorian House. Julia and her team will take your vision and turn it into reality, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

    The Magic House

    I met my now husband at the funnest club in Ventura called Candlelight 15 years ago, and it's a dream come true to have married there this February 2024. Communication was prompt, and Julia is more than accommodating for site meetings and planning. Our event was super small attendance, so it was a treat to have access to all the grounds. Julia made sure the details were heeded, and while it was not a full day, was ever-attentive, very professional with a cheery and dutiful personality.

    Beyond our expectations

    I was so impressed with the staff and venue. Our day couldn’t have been any better. From the staff to the decor made everything magical. Julia was on top of everything from day one and was always communicating making sure all our needs were met. The staff that was hired had so much fun energy which kept our guest even more entertained than they already were. Johnny did amazing with the food items and everything had a perfect flow at all times. Parking was easy for our guest and it is great for all seasons due to the fact that there is so much indoor space with so much character depending on the time of year. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding or event.

    Beautiful Venue with outstanding staff

    I am so happy we chose The Victorian to be our wedding reception venue! Julia went above and beyond to craft an unpretentious, friendly and memorable experience. The grounds were beautiful and elegant and the service staff were so accommodating. They worked seamlessly with our vendors and I would honestly recommend this venue to anyone. We absolutely loved it and would book again.

    You may want to reconsider

    If you’re looking to book this place for your wedding, I would be very cautious. We almost booked this venue until we were seeing some red flags. One HUGE one— in the brochure I was sent and currently on their website as of Sept. 2023, they show photos of wedding setups that are NOT at this property, but they are trying to make it appear as if they are. I know for a fact some of them are from Calamigos Ranch, NOT the Victorian House! It doesn’t get more misleading than that, and I think that speaks volumes about the owners and their willingness to be shady.

    If you just haven’t hosted many weddings since you’re a new venue and don’t have the photos to prove it, why not just be upfront about it instead of STEALING photos from other venues?There is absolutely no excuse for that, and I can only imagine what other ways this venue would prove to be unprofessional had we gone through booking with them.

    Not to mention it seems kind of obvious that the one other review on wedding wire is almost certainly fake.

    The Victorian House's reply:

    Hi Melissa,

    Thank you for expressing your concern, I would love to discuss more with you about which brochure you received. Since being a new venue for just a few months, we have only had a handful of weddings & more to come. When clients come to tour the property, I let them know that we just recently became a private venue and that Calamigos Ranch as well as The Victorian House in Santa Monica are our sister locations, and the same owner. We display some photos from Calamigos to showcase what we have to offer decor wise when we first began. All current photos are taken here at The Victorian House in Ventura, CA.

    Have a lovely day and I hope you found a great venue for your wedding :)

    Julia
