01 · In a sentence

Holman Ranch in CA 93924.

Holman Ranch sprawls across rolling hills in California's Carmel Valley, where oak-studded terrain meets sweeping valley views and vineyards.

This 265-acre working ranch property offers manicured gardens, rustic-elegant barn and garden venues, and on-site accommodations for 40+ guests.

The landscape shifts from open grasslands to intimate ceremony sites, all positioned to capture golden-hour light and panoramic mountain backdrops.

As a wedding planner, I work at many venues and I honestly cannot say enough great things about Holman Ranch and their entire team! Not only is it a stunning property, but the staff and their attention to detail is unmatched. They make the planning experience for both myself and my clients, an absolute breeze. I highly recommend Holman Ranch!
