Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Ranch Party in Los Angeles
When you're looking through Giggster's 284 event spaces in and around Los Angeles, you'd better be sure about what exactly you want. Whether it's a ranch house with a modern design or a sprawling farm with animals, you can choose from whichever catches your fancy.
House – Small and Intimate Gathering. Whether you're looking for a yurt or log cabin in the mountains or a Victorian-style farmhouse that is more in line with your personal preferences, we can guarantee that there are enough and more rustic homes located around the Los Angeles area to satisfy you. And having an indoor space to retire to always helps in case the day gets too hot!
Vineyards – Classic and Luxurious. Keep your guests entertained by providing various local wines and homegrown treats. You don't need to fly out to Italy or France to have a dreamy and romantic vineyard wedding. While it doesn't scream America the way that a ranch does, there's something classic and eternal about events planned at a vineyard.
Ranch – Rustic Simplicity. Want to celebrate your birthday by indulging in your favorite adventure activities like horseback riding? A ranch is the perfect space for you. And California certainly has no lack of scenic ranches that spread out over acres and have panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Orchard – Soak in the Natural Surroundings. The dappled shade of apple trees and other fruit trees, with the natural light falling through the leaves, creates quite a beautiful setting for a charity gala or cozy family reunion. Getting to sample the fruits and other delicious food made with local produce is a huge plus that you can't always opt for in the city.
Open Desert Land – Unique Destinations. Some extremely unusual but versatile venues are the open desert land available for rent around Los Angeles. Usually used for filming and shoots, they can also be repurposed for a party by putting up some tents and pavilions. The views are unrivalled!
Planning Your Ranch Party in Los Angeles
Whether you're planning a rustic and cozy ranch wedding or an epic birthday bash for your kids, these event venues have their own set of challenges and benefits.
Pick the Venue – Whether you're going for a traditional ranch that stretches over acres or a small country club with a view of the mountains depends on your budget, your guest list, your needs, and your vision. The perfect event starts with the perfect venue.
Think About Decor – You'll want to stick to your rustic, country theme, so lots of flowers and natural products are the way to go, instead of balloons and streamers. Since these are mostly outdoor locales, don't forget to arrange for lights and comfortable seating.
Determine the Menu – Serve your food buffet-style on long tables spread out in the shade of a tree for a wedding or picnic-style in baskets on the ground for a fun birthday. It'll be warm, so you shouldn't have food that could spoil easily, and coolers to keep the drinks cold would be an enormous help! A catering team could help, but a potluck meal is also fun in such situations.
Hire a Photographer – Your guests would love to have photographs of this one-of-a-kind experience, so hiring a professional is well worth the price. Make sure that they capture the beautiful backdrop in addition to all the little special moments.
Saving Money on a Ranch Party in Los Angeles
Yes, California and especially Los Angeles County are expensive. But there's a long way you can go with your creativity for the special day instead of emptying out your bank account.
Make your own decorations.
From mason jar centerpieces and wooden crates filled with local flowers and fruits to even old wagon wheels and hay bales, the best part about these events is how innovative you can be with the decor. No need to hire a fancy LA decorator for this.
Opt for locally produced food.
Instead of contracting a catering company from the city, speak to the owners about their local produce and small family-owned businesses that can cater for your party. Not only is the food fresh and delicious, but it'll also cut costs.
Use the entertainment options available to you.
What's a ranch reception or party without hay bale races and barn dances, right? Plus, if there's an animal sanctuary and petting zoo on the premises, guests will enjoy the chance to interact with the animals.
