Rancho Las Lomas

We had our wedding here and it was gorgeous! I couldn't have been happier with the ambience and the beautiful lush scenery. My bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in as well. I felt like I was in a fairytale

Rancho Las Lomas was the one and only venue we toured and fell in love immediately. We had our ceremony at La Terraza (the staircase) which was absolutely perfect. Our ceremony began at 5pm in June and the weather, venue and ceremony itself was so beautiful. All night we received compliments on how unique and pretty the venue was and we were so happy the entire time.

The employees were super responsive, helpful and kind. The service was amazing during out ceremony and the bartenders were excellent as well. The day was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend this venue enough.

A beautiful venue for our friend's wedding and reception. While there are a few stairs to navigate, there is a cart to transport the informed and elderly around the property. Some beautiful views with excellent accommodations. Just spectacular!

I am writing this as a warning to all couples considering any 24 Carrots venues. I recently got married at Rancho Las Lomas and, although the venue is beautiful and the food was great, 24 carrots has got to be the most deceptive and downright awful company in the wedding industry. PLEASE do yourself a favor and double check EVERY single version of any contract with pricing info in it that they send you. 24 Carrots will repeatedly try to increase prices or add in hidden charges without any notice or explanation.

We repeatedly had to fight them on these kind of deceptive pricing practices during the last couple months of our wedding and to say it was stressful and absolutely awful is an understatement. They act like they are the best in the business in client service, but it is the exact opposite. Couples should expect to be able to trust the people they work with in the wedding industry and how can you trust a company that is constantly lying to you about what you agreed to pay?

I am a lawyer and have defended multiple companies for engaging in unfair and deceptive practices, but I've honestly never had a client who was engaging in the misconduct like 24 Carrots does. Be warned - the venues and food are great, but 24 Carrots provides the worst client service imaginable and will engage in illegal pricing practices.

It's a jewel in Orange County. End of El Toro rd on the skirts of saddle hills, a hidden garden place. Beautiful settings automatically built and well maintained.

This location is absolutely stunning! The staff was so welcoming as well. Love this place!

This place is great to have a drink right after work. Some of their wines are a bit pricey but I would say their wine flights have very generous pours. The decor is very modern and sexy; reminds me of the bar in the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love. This place is also great for a drink after dinner with your friends or your significant other.

I LOVE this place. "Napa in downtown Orange County" is the concept that this place adopts. It has a modern decor and is extremely swanky and chic. The staff here is also very friendly and off course knowledgeable about their wine! The guy upstairs (where you swipe your card) is super nice and if you talk to him enough he will give you some good wine insights :)

When people were invited to come to their tables there were some delay to get each group to their assigned tables this caused waiting in the cold weather and the the setup was for outside dinning. The management should have let the clients to reserve for indoor dinning only because of their experience tell the uninformed clients to choose one option indoor dinning only.

The weather was so cold and the next day lots of people got sick, in my group everyone felt sick. I heard other guest were also became sick not because of the food it was the outside setup in the winter season. They had a few outdoor heaters and there were not enough of them.

I attended a wedding here last week and it was absolutely gorgeous. Rancho Las Lomas is a green oasis tucked behind Portola Hills in the foothills of Silverado. The venue is gorgeous, like a hidden garden, it's lush with greenery. The ceremony space is lined with oaks and sycamores, it's very charming. Each part of the wedding was held perfectly between the ceremony and reception spaces.

The food was exceptional and the adobo on the fried rice during the reception along with the other passes were delicious! The service was outstanding and friendly. The guys at the valet even took photos for us, he was awesome for that. I attended a magical wedding here, the venue space is breathtaking. I think this space is unique and private. The event felt like you were away in a completely different place. Kudos!

Beautiful place. Attended a wedding outside with a tropical background. Had unexpected entertainment during ceremony, 2 small planes kept coming over. There are different levels for each event which meant the entire wedding could be there. Wedding ceremony, next was cocktails while pictures of the wedding party were being taken then another level for dinner and dancing. It was an amazing place to have a wedding just bring your comfortable shoes for changing levels.

What's not to love about this heavenly venue! Hidden in the semi-dry hills of Silverado, lies a a beautiful, lush, garden, with trees casting shade on the paved yards, a fountain-pool, multiple charming cottages, and lots and lots of beautiful flowers. We had our wedding here in August 2021, and there wasn't a single guest who didn't comment on how dreamy the venue was.

Now onto business: The venue fee is pretty standard. But if you select this venue, you have to work with '24 Carrots', which is an event catering company that takes care of all the set up (chairs, tables, linen, etc) as well as catering. The nice thing is that they have many options (including ethnic food), and their staff are well-trained and professional.

We worked with Kimberlyn and her team, and overall had a good experience. The downside is that they are very very pricey (think nickel and dime for everything, and thousands of dollars in "administrative fees"). In the end, we ended up going way over budget despite cutting out a lot of things. The only thing that we weren't happy with was the Wedding Planning vendor that we selected from their "recommended" list, which was a disaster and the sole vendor we had problems with (you can read our review for them on Yelp if you wish). Hoping that they reconsider recommending this vendor to other couples in the future.

Everything else was pretty perfect, and we couldn't have selected a more beautiful venue for our wedding! (and let me tell you, we must've looked at 25+ venues both in SoCal and NorCal) :)

No joke, from the very second we walked in to RLL, we KNEW this was the venue we wanted to get married at. My fiance (now husband) did not have much to say when it came to venue input. We looked at locations in LA, OC, central CA, and he kept saying "whatever you want." However, when we visited RLL, it was the only location his eyes lit up. Obviously, I was ecstatic about the venue, but when I saw how equally excited he was, I knew this is where we had to have our wedding. Unfortunately, 2020 caused us to postpone our date three times, but Sarah (venue manager) and the 24 carrots team did whatever they could to work with new dates during such a hectic time.

This location is already stunning on it's own! You do not need much extra flair to make it beautiful as the landscaping is already lush in greenery, florals, and architecture to keep your guests eyes occupied for hours. This helped as we did not splurge on extra furniture rentals and kept florist arrangements to the necessities vs anything extravagant.

The venue is ran by 24 Carrots catering, so you know you are already in good hands when it comes to food and drink. Although some may not like that you can only go with this catering option, we much rather preferred having these experts run the day as they know the venue and the food and drink were amazing. We all know that it is hard to say that about wedding food and long lines at wedding bars.

This was not the case at our wedding. Appetizers, entrees, and the bar (we hired additional bartenders on purpose) were delicious, fast, and accommodating. Thank you to RLL, Sarah and the entire 24 Carrots team for making our wedding the best night of our lives!

Gorgeous grounds and buildings. Wonderful setting outdoors. Great facilities for a band, too. However, not set up well for persons with disabilities. Lots of stairs and not a single ramp. My mother is in a wheelchair, and they used a golf cart to move her between levels, sometimes with a 15 minute wait. The step to the back seat is pretty high, and I had to hoist her up. Still, she enjoyed the setting and cestivities.

I love performing weddings at this venue! This place has the wow factor. When the guests come in and they check the place out everywhere they look is wow wow wow. If you're looking to get married check this place out.

Beautiful venue but had I known they supported animal slavery & trade and caged tigers I would have boycot them. That says a lot about the owners' character which disappoints me very much.

Beautiful. Lily [white tiger] is no longer living at Rancho Las Lomas, but I liked visiting her while she was there :

I attended a wedding last week at this place, it was beautiful and romantic, but the food was so disappointing, the beef was pre cooked and heated so did the chicken which was rubbery, dry, and tough, and the potatoes was precooked and heated and so bad that if chef Ramsey saw it he will throw it in the garbage, I feel sorry for the newly weds they probably were embarrassed

I absolutely love photographing weddings here! You can't find a more unique outdoor location, and the fact that I can take my couples anywhere on the grounds is a plus! If you want a venue that will give you a good variety of beautiful locations for portraits and dancing under the stars, you should take a tour asap!

I shot a wedding at Rancho Las Lomas and the venue is absolutely breathtaking! From the ceremony spot to the reception area, this whole venue is perfection. The staff and all the vendors involved where so kind and helpful. They made the wedding such an enjoyable experience for everyone involved

Rancho Las Lomas was the absolute DREAM venue! We married on 5/14/21 and it was the best experience! Sarah and Beth were incredible and the day finished without a hitch. The property is impeccable, the amenities are clean and the foliage is to die for! The property is so well kept and every guest was so amazed at the natural beauty. We highly recommend getting married here. The staff, catering and grounds are impeccable! Thank you for providing such an amazing place to get married at, especially amidst a pandemic!

We highly recommend booking you wedding/event at Rancho Las Lomas. Nicole G was was so responsive and helpful guiding us through her recommendations and wedding planning process. We had a micro-wedding and RLL is the perfect outdoor space for social distancing and good air flow. We were so glad that RLL took COVID safety seriously with all of their precautions. Additionally, they were so flexible and accommodating through the process.

The venue is gorgeous and stunning for ambience and photos. The food (catered by 24 Carrots) was delicious and fresh. Our wedding guests loved walking around the botanical gardens, seeing the animals, and enjoying the lovely ambience. RLL was on top of all the details the day of the wedding to make sure our day ran smoothly. Thank you RLL staff for making the best day of our lives so magical and safe!

A beautiful, beautiful venue with a ton of space. I am so happy we had our wedding here - it's a place we'll never forget. It is a classy venue with a Spanish / Tropical twist. It makes for amazing photos! Though it feels remote, it's actually not far from Orange County which makes it accessible for guests traveling in. The 24 Carrots team offers A+ & QUALITY service.

Though the venue is on the pricier side, you get what you pay for. The service was next level and PROFESSIONAL. Cannot ask for more! Just be prepared that a lot of expenses are add-ons (glassware, heaters, etc.). Other than that, I could not be happier working with this venue! They were so accommodating with all of our requests.

Nice views, but very expensive and keeping wild animals such a tiger in a cage, is very sad. Animals need their space and their natural habitat!

I probably wouldn't spend the price of admission to return here. We spent $30 to do a loop of about 5 enclosures. The animals appeared well cared for, however there just wasn't much going on. We prepaid, however no one appeared to be verifying visitors. In addition, they were setting up for a wedding that clearly had a large number of guests which seems questionable at best given the current pandemic.

***ANIMAL ABUSE*** Rancho Las Lomas has a beautiful white tiger named Lilly that lives there. She is in a teenie tiny very small cage. She's been there for well over a decade. The property is massive. They have many areas for entertainment for lavish parties. They host multiple parties in the same day, bringing in a LOT of money for the owners.

The owners live lavish lives and travel all over the world. While the poor tiger sits in her cramped tiny prison living a sad, miserable life. Abusive! Do not give your money to these greedy people! Set Lilly free. They actually had the nerve to ask for donations during the Corona Virus quarantine to help offset costs. How about not traveling all over the world? How about focusing on giving Lilly a better life in a sanctuary where she can roam and not be in a small prison? Selfish, greedy, disgusting.

Beautiful wedding venue. It is very romantic and elegant to have an event here. I think one or two of the bartenders were a little judgmental after we kept ordering drinks but the wedding was an open bar so not sure why there were some weird reactions. Some of the bathroom stalls are tiny and I'm a pretty petite person. Some of the bathroom doors almost touched the toilet seat.

My only regret is that we didn't get there an hour before the wedding started so we could take pictures at all of the beautiful areas and look at the animals they have on the venue. It is by far my most favorite wedding I have ever been invited to.

Overhyped, overpriced, and bad service. Not to mention the nightmare of working with 24carat catering (RLLs exclusive monopolistic catering company). How do I know this? Got married here a few years ago. 1 star for the photogenic and rustic venue.

Rancho Las Lomas is such a unique and one of a kind venue! You won't find anything out there like it! It has classy, rustic, and whimsical characteristics and photographs super well! The nature and architecture surrounding the property is stunning! Your guests will be in awe of its beauty! It's so charming and we had the most phenomenal time there for our wedding! Definitely has that WOW factor!

Nice place for an afternoon walk. I took my children to the summer reading they had and it was fun and educational. They have a few exotic animals and the grounds are lovely. Highly recommend!

Hats off to the staff here. Cody guided us on a tour of the animals today. Super passionate, information and entertaining. He really knew so much about all the animals and it was obvious he truly cares for them. The venue is in a very tucked away, remote part of Orange county. I've been to weddings there, my HS prom and it's nice but today was just the wildlife animal tour.

Really neat to see a white Bengal tiger that close up. I stepped on a chard of glass and it went through my shoe and punctured my foot. Dan from valet drove me to get some first aid supplies. They are really nice people here. I suggest wearing closed toed shoes. Great outing for the family. My kids are two under two so a little long for them but definitely worth it.

Review for Rancho Wildlife Foundation, admittance by reservation only. When you drive in just keep going straight, over the bridge and then left to parking attendant. Valet only and it is $8, which is a bit steep. The tour was $5 per person this weekend which was a great price. The tour guide was Cody (?) and another girl, I didn't catch her name. Cody was extremely knowledgeable and eager to share his passion for preservation with us.

The tour itself lasts about 90 mins. You'll see macaws, parrots, zebras, some type of fox and the white Bengal tiger. After the tour you can head up the hill to see some crows, a peacock, servils, badgers and racoons (didn't see the last two as I think they were hiding) Before going I was worried it was going to be one of those crappy home zoos where the animals look neglected and are treated as objects, but they all appreared to be well looked after and loved by the tour guides. The cages were all clean and not smelly. Stroller friendly and toilets on site.

Prefect spot to just go and have some beer/wine. Thanks to Groupon, they were offering those wine tasting deals. I went with my friends, and to my surprise, this place is actually really nice. They have a mini zoo that you can walk around in, and nice areas to take pictures. my only regret is i didn't bring any food with me for wine tasting. kinda awkward just sitting there drinking 4 small glass of wine. only valet parking, but they take credit cards.

Beautiful venue for wedding and wine/beer tasting! Gorgeous location. Went here for bday celebration wine tasting. Rustic, beautiful place!

This winery is so beautiful. You get inside the gates and you really feel like you've been transported to another land. Being from NYC, it was awesome. We had a Groupon for a wine tasting. This was different from a lot of wineries where you stand at a counter and taste wines one by one while being talked through each glass. Here they provide you the flight of wines and a menu that explains the wines and you can go sit down at a picnic table with your party and enjoy the wines at your own pace.

You can also bring in food to enjoy with your wine. Before we got to the winery we stopped off to get some food. There also have craft beer and liquors as well. There was pineapple infused tequila (sooo good) and orange infused whiskey. Extra treat the owner just happened to be hanging out at the bar and we got to have a great convo and shots with him and his girlfriend. There is also a tiger on the grounds, A TIGER! There are also other animals you can walk around and see. Oh, and the wines were good too. Great time!

Why do I keep coming back here? I'll tell you why and why every other 5 star yelper comes. it's because this place is gorgeous! Where else can you go in Orange County to see beautiful grounds, a wildlife sanctuary, sip wine drink beer, order crackers and cheese and have a picnic. I've been coming here for the past couple of years and this place always brings me a smile.

The staff is great and the grounds are gorgeous. I recommend you plan a weekend trip here with friends. Bring your own picnic basket of goodies and enjoy the day. You'll come back again and again. I think there's a loss a Groupon for wine tasting if you look online. Great place to spend a Saturday.
