About Rancho Dos Pueblos
Rancho Dos Pueblos is a historic working ranch on California's Gaviota Coast between Santa Barbara and Goleta. This 1,000-acre private estate offers couples the opportunity to celebrate on one of California's most beautiful properties, with ocean views, rolling hills, Spanish Colonial architecture, and authentic ranchland character.
The property's history dates back centuries—from its Native American heritage to its time as a Spanish land grant, and now as a private estate and working ranch. The ranch includes multiple ceremony and reception sites, from dramatic bluff-top locations overlooking the Pacific to intimate courtyards surrounded by historic buildings.
What makes Rancho Dos Pueblos extraordinary is the combination of privacy, natural beauty, and authentic California ranch character. This isn't a manicured event space—it's a working property with cattle, avocados, and a real sense of place. Couples choosing this venue value authenticity, natural beauty, and celebrations that feel connected to California's ranch heritage.
The property is also home to the famous Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm (a separate wedding venue on the same ranch), adding to the property's botanical significance and unique character.
As San Diego-based destination wedding florists experienced with Rancho Dos Pueblos, we understand how to work with this estate's diverse landscapes—creating florals that enhance the natural beauty without overwhelming the authentic ranchland setting.
Rancho Dos Pueblos
Wedding Spaces & Locations
Ocean Bluff Ceremonies
The most dramatic ceremony location at Rancho Dos Pueblos is the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With 180-degree ocean views and the Channel Islands in the distance, this site needs minimal floral enhancement. We design ceremony structures and installations that frame the views without competing with the natural drama.
The HAcienda & Courtyard
The historic Spanish Colonial hacienda and adjacent courtyard offer intimate ceremony and cocktail settings with authentic architecture and established gardens. These spaces work beautifully for smaller celebrations or as ceremonial areas before receptions in other locations on the property.
Ranch Lawn Locations
Multiple expansive lawn areas across the property provide options for tented receptions or outdoor celebrations. These spaces allow for creative event layouts and substantial floral installations under clear or sailcloth tents.
Historic Barn & Structures
The working ranch includes historic barns and outbuildings that can be incorporated into celebrations for rustic elegance or cocktail spaces. These structures provide authentic character that pairs beautifully with organic, garden-inspired florals.
Orchid Farm Proximity
While the Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm operates as a separate venue, some Rancho Dos Pueblos celebrations incorporate visits to the nearby greenhouse, creating unique multi-location experiences on the same property.
Multiple Ceremony & Reception Options
The estate's 1,000 acres offer flexibility for ceremony and reception placement. Many couples choose ocean bluff ceremonies with tented receptions on ranch lawns, creating distinct experiences while remaining on one property.

Our Rancho Dos Pueblos
Wedding Floral Design Process
-
Reach out via our contact form with your Rancho Dos Pueblos wedding date. Share any details about your chosen ceremony and reception locations on the property. We'll respond within 48 hours.
-
For Rancho Dos Pueblos weddings, we prefer to visit the property with you (if possible) to understand the specific sites you're using and the logistics involved. The estate offers multiple locations, and seeing them helps us create accurate, site-specific proposals.
-
Within 2 weeks, you'll receive a detailed design proposal including mood boards, suggested florals for each location, site-specific recommendations, and transparent pricing. Our proposals consider the property's ranchland character and ocean views.
-
Sign your contract and submit a 30% retainer to secure your Rancho Dos Pueblos wedding date. We only take 8-12 weddings per year, and this exclusive estate books 12-18+ months in advance.
-
6-8 weeks before your wedding, we finalize all details. For Rancho Dos Pueblos weddings (in our $25k+ range), complimentary floral samples are always included. We coordinate closely with your planner and the property management team.
-
Our team travels to Rancho Dos Pueblos 1-2 days before your celebration to receive flowers, prep arrangements, and install everything across your chosen ceremony and reception sites. We handle all setup and breakdown, working with the estate's schedule and access requirements.
Design Approach
for Rancho Dos Pueblos
-
This is a working ranch with genuine character—cattle, avocado groves, and authentic ranchland. We design florals that honor this authenticity rather than trying to transform the space into something it's not.
-
The ocean views are spectacular. Our ceremony and reception designs frame and enhance these vistas rather than blocking or competing with them. Less is often more when nature provides the backdrop.
-
While these are luxury weddings with substantial budgets, Rancho Dos Pueblos calls for an organic aesthetic. Think garden-inspired arrangements, natural textures, slightly wild installations, and designs that feel connected to the landscape.
-
The property's open landscapes and tented reception spaces are substantial. Floral installations need appropriate scale to make an impact in these large areas without feeling sparse.
-
The Gaviota Coast location means exposure to wind and coastal conditions. We design with hardy florals, proper mechanics, and techniques that ensure everything looks fresh and intact throughout your celebration.
-
Many Rancho Dos Pueblos weddings utilize different areas for ceremony, cocktails, and reception. We create visual continuity across locations while scaling designs appropriately for each space.
What Makes Rancho Dos Pueblos Special
-
The property's history as a Spanish land grant and working ranch adds depth and meaning to your celebration. You're not just renting an event space—you're celebrating on a property with centuries of California history.
-
Rancho Dos Pueblos hosts very few weddings each year, ensuring your celebration is truly exclusive. The 1,000-acre property means complete privacy for you and your guests.
-
This is a real working ranch—not a manufactured event venue designed to look rustic. The authenticity and connection to California's agricultural heritage appeal to couples seeking meaningful, unique celebrations.
-
The bluff-top locations offer some of the most spectacular ocean views on California's coast. The combination of ranchland character and coastal beauty is rare and breathtaking.
-
Unlike venues with set layouts, Rancho Dos Pueblos allows creative freedom for ceremony and reception placement. You can design your event flow to maximize the property's beauty and create unique guest experiences.
-
Located on the Gaviota Coast just 30-40 minutes from Santa Barbara, the ranch offers a destination feel while remaining accessible from major California cities.
Overall Investment
Rancho Dos Pueblos weddings typically require $200,000-$400,000+ total budgets. The estate is extremely exclusive with substantial site fees, and requires full-service planning, comprehensive rentals (tents, tables, chairs, lighting, etc.), and luxury vendor teams.
Site Fees & Minimums
The estate has significant rental fees (typically $20,000-$30,000+ depending on guest count and areas used). You'll need to confirm current pricing directly with the property.
Full Production Required
Unlike hotels or all-inclusive venues, Rancho Dos Pueblos is a blank canvas. You'll need to bring in everything—tenting, furniture, lighting, catering equipment, restrooms, etc. This creates opportunities for customization but requires substantial planning and budget.
Property Relationship
The same family owns both Rancho Dos Pueblos (the estate) and Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm (the greenhouse venue), though they operate as separate wedding locations with different aesthetics and logistics.
