Whether high above verdant orchards and the blue pacific or nestled among the lemon blossoms, LimoneiraTours has created truly magical settings for your special day. Delicious culinary creations from our celebrated host chefs augment our wonderful venues.
Our Hilltop Orchard venue is situated in a high hilltop orchard overlooking the Santa Clara River Valley, the facing mountains and the pacific Ocean. The space is designed to maximize the spectacular sunset view with most tables gazing straight into the sunset past the Tower Club in Oxnard, and the Anacapa Islands off the Ventura Coastline.
The North Lawn is ideal for larger groups, this site is surrounded by lush landscaping, lemon orchards, views of the sun-baked foothills typical of Southern California, and some ranch buildings built in the 1920s. Tall fir trees provide dramatic backdrops for photos and shade for afternoon events.
The Citrus Pavilion is filled with country-style charm. Guests stroll down the entry drive bordered by tall, stately fir trees which ends in a lush lawn. Views include the foothills and orchards and historic points of interest, including one of the original Sunkist lemon packing houses that helped make this area famous for citrus at the turn of the last century.
The Ranch Lobby, with its century old history of hosting festivities is our most popular bridal site. The Ranch lobby was built in the 1920’s as the central hub of the main Limoneira Ranch. The Ranch lobby retains its original luster with wooden floors, 20’ high oak beam ceilings, and an incredible floor to ceiling walk-around river stone fireplace.
The Side Courtyard is located a short walk from the Ranch lobby, a beautifully manicured side garden that is ideal for intimate weddings. Brides enter through a wisteria-draped portico, walking past seating for up to 200 guests.
The Santa Clara Cross is a truly dramatic site, perched high atop a hilltop bluff overlooking the Santa Clara River Valley. Guests are transported through the low-lying green orchards, then ascend the hilltop bluff with its native California plants such as sage and prickly pear. The cross is the only permanent structure on the bluff. Panoramic views extend all the way to the Pacific Ocean in Ventura.
Whether it’s an intimate affair or something to accommodate both sides of the family up to 3,000, a wedding at Limoneira Ranch is designed as a magical experience for and a memory for the ages.
