Where Love Meets Nature: Weddings at The Bird Ranch at San Luis Creek
At The Bird Ranch, we love helping couples create weddings that are joyful, authentic, and true to their story. Our historic, century-old ranch in the heart of the Central Valley offers natural beauty with cottonwood trees, open skies, and the last stretch of the San Luis Creek in California, as the perfect backdrop.
Whether it’s a celebration for 500 in our charming barn or an intimate elopement for two, our outdoor spaces and on-site accommodations make it easy to gather, slow down, and celebrate. We work with a team of trusted vendors and coordinators to ensure every detail feels seamless. As a sustainable farm, we plant a tree for every couple and partner with nonprofits on butterfly and wetland restoration, to maintain the largest blue heron rookery in California, and protecting the land we love. Our apothecary adds a unique touch, offering custom plant-based perfumes or distilled mocktails crafted from the farm. Our vision is simple: to provide a beautiful, welcoming place where your love can be celebrated in harmony with nature and remembered for years to come.
Meet Julie Sandino of The Bird Ranch,
your wedding venue in Central California
"I love sharing this hidden gem in the heart of the Central Valley, a historic ranch where wide beauty of nature surround every celebration. Along the last stretch of the San Luis Creek, you might spot rare birds or even watch playful river otters from the dock.
We are a sustainable farm with century-old roots, offering on-site accommodations so couples and their loved ones can truly slow down and savor the experience. For each couple, we plant a tree so they can return year after year to see it grow. We also partner with nonprofits to restore butterfly habitats and wetlands, protecting the natural beauty and the creek of San Luis for generations to come. 🦋🌿
Every time a couple chooses The Bird Ranch, I’m reminded why I love this work: it’s about love, legacy, and celebrating life in harmony with the land we cherish."
