The Ojai Retreat & Inn was everything we could have asked for for our wedding in early November!! We rented the whole property for our wedding party and the weekend felt like a dream oasis! Before the wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serenity of the Ojai Retreat by taking a stroll on the nature path. We also enjoyed nearby restaurants (Bonnie Lu's for breakfast and Ca'Marco for our Rehearsal Dinner) that were a short car ride away. We used the living room area and the upstairs library for getting ready spaces and they were well air-conditioned and provided more than enough space for all of us- without the groom seeing the bride, of course. Then during our ceremony and reception, the beauty of the landscape and views made for marvelous photos and memories! It was truly magical and felt like an enchanted fairytale! On top of the beauty of the property, everyone who works at the Ojai Retreat & Inn is so kind and helpful! A special thank you to Dana and Lia for your help and to all the workers who helped move lawn furniture before our rentals needed to unload. They were so flexible with us and worked with us on our many random questions and requests. We can't wait to come back to the Ojai Retreat & Inn for our anniversaries!!

Walnut Grove Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding! Their communication style was very quick and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - the venue had a gorgeous rustic, woodsy and open feel, with no crazy markups. The ambience was truly magical, the staff was on the ball, and the food was incredible. It was the most special day of our lives, not just because it was our wedding, but because the venue and everything about it was so beautiful, comfortable and warm. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.
