We completely fell in love with Hanford Ranch Winery from the moment we toured the place. Melissa and Preston have been more than kind and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and we can never thank them enough. Our wedding was beautiful and have received so many compliments how amazing it all was. Hanford Ranch Winery will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Very beautiful place for weddings. Its open space and nice garden is perfect.
Simple yet nice.
I would recommend them putting some shade in the reception area just because i went to a wedding there during the summer and i was sitting in the sun all day and ended up with a sun burn...
but besides that. Its a perfect place for events and weddings

We photographed a wedding here last year and it was absolutely gorgeous! It would be perfect for any outdoor wedding and the whole vibes of the venue was magical!

I have been here before as a guest it's beautiful. But this time I had to work it a very nice wedding. I did security here from 6pm to 10:30 pm walked the nice area good for private get togethers quinceanera's weddings also retirement parties. As long as everyone is safe and has a great time. Respect the environment also neighbors with the music situation. Jade was very nice also Melissa.

Where do I start? My wedding is next year and Melissa has been nothing short of great. She has answered every question in a timely manner. From the very start, she knew that we were unsure about what venue we were going to chose. She would still check up occasionally to see how the process was going. I’m pretty sure their is bad reviews about the venue somewhere but basing off of what I’ve seen and felt that had to have been a misunderstanding. I wouldn’t go off of any bad review, see the place for yourself, meet Melissa and Preston. Guaranteed you will love the venue. She was thorough when explaining the contract and she was extremely understanding when we asked for a few things for our big day. 5 stars and two thumbs up. Glad I picked this location for my wedding. No doubts what so ever.

This review is regarding my sisters wedding that is set to take place on April 7th. Just imagine spending thousands of dollars on your dream wedding just to find out 3 days prior that there will be a storm.. We understand that the venue owners cannot foresee such events, but being an outdoor venue they should have some sort of back up plan? Well they don’t. Either way my family and I acknowledge that it is our responsibility to deal with the unfortunate circumstances. Which is exactly what we are trying to do. Upon booking Hanford ranch winery venue Preston and Melissa told us that in the event of an upcoming storm or rain we were allowed to rent a tent. Not once did they mention any permit requirements. We have emails to prove that they gave us the okay to set up the tent. Now we are notified 3 days before the wedding that we need a permit from the county in order to set up the tent? And we need the fire dept. to come out and inspect. In 3 days? Talk about lack of professionalism and communication. They are also charging us over $1,000 to take down their lights.. We are taken back. We just want a peaceful day for my sister and her fiancé. Here we are.. 3 days before the wedding not even knowing what’s going to happen.. We are currently searching for other venues as a back up plan in the event that Melissa and Preston don’t come up with a solution.. Consider our experience before booking your wedding here. No one deserves this type of treatment,I will update my review post wedding day!

Well, I don’t even know where to start. My wedding was on 8/31/19. First off, just want to let everyone know that Melissa was truly great during the whole process. Any calls, texts or emails were answered ASAP! Any doubts that the bride or myself had were always cleared up in a timely manner. At around 6pm when the sun started going down, I could not believe how incredible the venue looked. I was honestly speechless. Beautiful bride, beautiful location, I mean what more could I have asked for? The day was a little hot but the umbrellas that we rented definitely helped, once it started to get dark like I said previously, I mean it just looked like something out of a movie. All the months of stressing was worth it. We had around 250-300 guests and all we heard was that the venue and just that everything was great. If I had to do it all over again, i would do it the same way. I would get married there all over again. Whether it is a party, venue or event going with Hanford will not disappoint. Just because it feels and shows that melissa truly cares. Days before the wedding she would reach out to us to see how we were feeling. The day of she was at the party, serving wine and asking us every few hours and if we needed anything. I don’t know if this is a review at this point and or if I’m just venting about how happy or great the venue was lol I wish i could have given this a 6 star review lol Melissa, when you see this Ana and myself want to thank you for the bottom of our hearts for EVERYTHING!!!!

Best regards,
Jovany
