“Working with Foxen Canyon Ranch was the best decision we made, hands down. They are professional, courteous, their attention to detail is unmatched and their venue is sparkling clean and a dream space to design and plan a wedding in. They made it easy for vendor load in and load out. The venue has a lot of added bonuses like gas fire pits with seating, Edison lights over their built in bar with a bar back that could easily accommodate 4 or more bartenders for a large wedding. The outdoor space had string lights and up lights around the patio. The finished bar is a complete blank space to dream up the perfect reception in and the grounds allow for social distancing or events and ceremonies to be 100% outside. Their landscaping is neutral and allowed the floral designer to incorporate any color with ease. The caterer loved the private driveway and space they created for them to pull into and unload the food and beverage. We didn't encounter any long haul fees, which we have seen with other venues. They are tucked away and allow for a completely private event. If you are looking for a garden, ranch, industrial vibe- Foxen Canyon Ranch is a hidden gem amongst wedding venues in Santa Ynez. We highly recommend them!”

The Buellhouse at Zaca Creek 
BUELLTON, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $12,000

Zaca Creek has been an iconic landmark property in the Santa Ynez Valley for more than half a century. Much beloved by the locals for its deep roots in the history of Buellton; Zaca Creek has been resurrected after almost two decades of dormancy. Staying true to the history of the locale, the reclamation of this property was carefully centered around the founding principle of combining timeless resources of the highest quality with custom craftsmanship built to last. The transformation of this landmark establishment from the remodel, landscape, menu design and layout focus on the simple and time-tested philosophy of world-class materials and attention to detail in every aspect. The culmination of this is a masterfully reimagined establishment with nuanced flavors and old-world techniques. Our covered patio and inside tavern area are both open, with limited seating for both so reservations are recommended.
