Venue Setting

Situated on over 600 acres, Swallow Creek Ranch is an active cattle ranch and the only venue on the Central Coast with ocean view ceremony sites and a reception barn! We offer couples two gorgeous ocean view ceremony sites to choose from each with their own unique charm. The Hilltop Amphitheater, our upper site has sweeping ocean views of Estero Bluffs and Villa Creek Beach. The Sea Vew Meadow, our lower site situated along a Eucalyptus grove behind the magical blue barn has an enchanting garden filled with flowers and Monarch butterflies with views of the sea. Cocktail hour takes place in the barnyard with bistro lighting, a portable bar and 5 wine barrels as table tops. Receptions follow in our historic 1867 blue barn with a custom indoor bar, plenty of space for dining and dancing beneath the cascade lighting and drapery for an elegant yet rustic affair. We give couples access to our venue for the entire weekend for a more relaxed affair. Wedding couples will also have two incredible vintage spaces to enjoy while getting ready, the historic creamery turned wedding suite and courtyard plus a 1969 Airstream trailer lovingly restored and placed with sweeping ocean views as a cool place to kick back before the big event. Each location offers its own unique atmosphere. Elegant or organic, rustic or modern… the scene is set, the ranch is your backdrop. At Swallow Creek Ranch we provide the blank canvas for a wedding weekend of your dreams and allow you to shape your celebration as you see fit. Make your vision come true!

Venue Features
The scene:
Swallow Creek Ranch is a magical destination for a wedding, situated on over 600 acres of rolling hills above the Pacific Ocean that give couples and their guests a unique opportunity to experience a very sacred piece of California land and history. Once guests park onsite they will hop aboard a professional shuttle (required) to be transported back in time to a place where cattle roam the hills, raptors soar above and ocean views are unobstructed! Depending on which ceremony site a couple chooses, guests may be transported1/2 mile up the ranch road to the Hilltop Amphitheatre with breathtaking views where the tolling hills meet the sea or they will head down hill 1/4 mile to the barnyard with our 1860's barn and creamery where our magical SeaView Meadow ceremony site is magically located hidden behind the barn.
Design:
Our 1867 vintage blue barn creates the backdrop for a rustic yet elegant reception. It is set up for comfort and charm with a new roof, 4 portable heaters, an indoor bar and 3 restrooms one of which is ADA. The barnyard has bistro lighting creating a magical mood once the sunsets. The vintage creamery from the 1860's has been lovingly restored into a bridal suite aka "Hen House" complete with full shower bathroom, built in hair and makeup area and mini fridge to enjoy a light lunch and mimosas! The 1969 Airstream aka "Groomstream" parked at the top of the ranch has sweeping ocean views of Morro Rock, It's Wester decor, mini fridge, patio with corn hole, wine barrels and barstools plus a vintage cooler for drinks makes for a one of a kind space for our guys to enjoy before the big event!
