Description

Nestled along the pristine Carmel River banks, Gardener Ranch weaves an elegant, rustic atmosphere idyllic for outdoor weddings. The pale wooden fixtures and magical tree canopy produce a simple fairy-tale getaway, while the dependable sunshine and low humidity ensures a day to remember. The landscape, boasting 24-acres of majestic oaks and grassy meadows, is at once exclusive and genuine—a welcome balance highlighting the sanctity and romance of marriage. The graceful white of wedding dresses are accentuated by the natural greenery and the reception rooms provide an intimate setting for family and friends to celebrate. Moreover, little can surpass the nostalgic summer vibes of dancing the night away under the sparkling patio lights or indulging in festive recreational activities such as croquet and horseshoes. Gardener Ranch is truly an enchanting slice of one of California’s most treasured country escapes and a perfect venue for romance and rejoicing.
