Holman ranch is truly the most gorgeous venue. The ceremony space is unbelievable and having the dinner in the rose garden was so magical and felt very intimate. Every corner of the property is absolutely gorgeous and being able to stay on the property for the weekend made all the difference in our experience. Our family and wedding party were able to stay with us for the entire weekend and it made it all the more special. Kerolos and Victoria are so amazing and fabulous to work with. They work so hard to make sure the weekend and day are perfect and they are so on top of everything. They’re super flexible with making changes to fit your vision and they think of every little detail. I highly recommended looking at Holman ranch for your wedding event!
