With its sprawling vineyards, majestic oak trees, and modern amenities, Greengate Ranch and Vineyard creates a perfect canvas for a rustic yet refined wedding affair. If you want a wedding that feels elegant but also down-to earth, it’s the perfect combination of the two.

It’s certainly a luxury wedding venue- and sets itself apart by how much it has to offer in terms of size and just the variety of options it offers. It’s got a pretty high price tag but it’s one of the few venues with this much to offer in terms of it’s scope.

It’s dreamy gardens and approachable relaxed decor makes it a great fit even for couple’s who want a down to earth feel for their wedding day- but it your are bringing out all the stops for your wedding it works too.

WEDDING GUESTS CAN STAY THE ENTIRE WEEKEND WITH ROOM FOR EVERYONE

If you wanting a weekend with your entire family all together you can rent out the four guest houses and have more than enough room for everyone (13 bedrooms)- and the luxurious accommodations on-site will blow your mind. The Bridal Suite is a haven of comfort and style, ensuring that you and your bridal party can prepare for the day ahead in an atmosphere of relaxation and glamour. There is also a pool for your family to lounge by, a pool table, a pond, and mile’s of vineyards for an evening stroll. Many of my couple’s are destination weddings and they have family traveling from all over to stay the weekend- and what better way to spend time together then to all be able to stay on-site at your venue and have the entire place to yourselves for your family to hang together.

THE POND IS A PERFECT FOR A WHIMSICAL GARDEN WEDDING

As you know I am a photographer who loves whimsical garden weddings and fairytales, and the pond at Greengate transports you to a another world. There is nothing like a garden wedding in my heart- getting married surrounded by the birds, ducks, wind though the trees, in a place as lush and peaceful as this- it’s hard to describe quite how beautiful and tranquil it feels. But it doesn’t stop there, this wedding venue has so much more to offer.

With every corner of Greengate Ranch offering a picturesque view, as a wedding photographer I always have a field day capturing your best moments against the backdrop of vineyards, meadows, and elegant architecture. Every moment becomes a work of art in this naturally beautiful setting. Other areas of the venue include: the grand lawn, the vintage barn, the courtyard, the ranch house and terrace lawn.

If you are searching for a romantic and enchanting vineyard wedding venue in San Luis Obispo, Greengate Ranch stands out as a gem. With its breathtaking views, versatile spaces, and commitment to excellence, this venue offers the perfect spot for love to bloom in the heart of California’s wine country. Choosing Greengate Ranch is the beginning of a journey to create a timeless and magical wedding experience.

A SUMMER WEDDING AT GREENGATE VINEYARD WITH A FAIRYTALE FEEL

Here are some photos from Shannon and Jordan’s relaxed and sweet garden wedding at the Greengate pond and their intimate reception in the barn. They had a smaller wedding with only close friends and family and the vibe was very down to earth and really felt like a family vacation- I know it was super important for them to spend a lot of time with the ones they love the most. They went with a simple palette of green and white flowers and touches of robin eggs blue on the grooms suit to compliment the lush setting and summer season. We had a wonderful time walking through the vines at sunset- the sky was incredible, like a painting, and the views from the ranch are unbelievable. The warm summer breeze made for the perfect time to enjoy an ice cream served by San Luis Obispo’s own ice cream truck. I handled both photography and videography for them and it’s so much fun looking back on this relaxed and idyllic day.
