Yes. Vista Meadows Ranch hosts a limited number of intimate weddings and private gatherings each season. Events are intentionally small in scale to preserve the experience, atmosphere, and natural character of the property.

Wedding celebrations are intentionally limited to a maximum of 40 guests. We believe smaller gatherings create more meaningful experiences and allow couples to fully enjoy the setting, their guests, and the pace of the day.

Wedding season runs from late May through early October. The ranch is intentionally seasonal, allowing couples and guests to experience the property during the most vibrant months of the year when the landscape, gardens, and surrounding environment are at their best.
