Ranch of the Sun is an unforgettable retreat, perfect for an intimate elopement with family and friends. With five beautiful houses, plus a dedicated yoga studio and gym, the property offers both space and comfort.

I got the chance to work at this wonderful venue and could not have asked for a better support team. Not only is the venue stunning, but also the venue staff, coordinators, planning team and photo/video team were so beyond helpful and supportive leading up to the event and on the day of. From set up to the service and clean up, it was extremely well executed and flowed seamlessly. Thank you Hidden Chateau team!! Can't wait to work at this venue again in the future :)

I am not going to lie, there were a few times we were very nervous about booking with Trademark Venues at Green Gable. Our coordinator changed very early in the process, and we weren’t informed why. We did the food tasting and we were so disappointed with everything we tried. We then spoke to someone higher up who helped us customize our menu without getting extra costs. Day of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. Gina was a god send, paying attention to every detail. She handled everything and made sure the day was stress free for us. So many guests told us how delicious the food was, so we were thrilled as that was what we were most nervous about. And I can confirm that the cupcakes were sooooo good! Seriously could not be happier. Gina was amazing and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking Green Gables!!
