“This venue was an absolute dream for us!! Matthew and Holly were beyond the best people to work with making our experience so easy. They are professional, quick with communication, and so kind to work with. This was especially helpful since we lived out of town but they were always there to help with any concerns or questions. Not to mention this venue is stunning! Between the outdoor ceremony, the beautiful tent for a dinner space, and the barn for our reception this venue has it all. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved the venue. This location is perfectly tucked away to make your wedding feel so intimate and special. We could not have asked for a better venue or people to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend Tar Creek for your wedding venue and we promise you will have as amazing of a day as we did!”

“Tar Creek Ranch was a dream venue to have our wedding at. The barn is breathtaking, the landscaping is beautiful, and the overall feel of this venue was everything we could have ever wanted. An amazing feature of this venue is the house to stay at within walking distance from the barn, but positioned perfectly so it is nice and tucked away. Both Matthew and Holly were so helpful and accommodating and made the experience so easy and seamless. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!”

“We literally had our DREAM wedding at Tar Creek Ranch. Rustic and elegant! Beautifully remodeled white barn for reception and lovely outdoor ceremony. Our wedding was around 180 guests who fit comfortably at the venue and raved about the beauty. My bridesmaids and I were able to stay and get ready at the house on the hill. The rental home is perfect and accommodated my 10 girls and I. The owner and wedding coordinator made this day and the months leading up to it as stress free as possible! We rented out the venue for the whole weekend and would recommend this location to anyone looking to get married on the central coast.”

“I love love love this venue! My husband and I had our DREAM wedding at Tar Creek Ranch, June 2024. Mathew and his staff were extremely helpful, kind and great to work with. Holly (property manager) was amazing! She was very quick to respond to my emails, questions, thoughts...you name it! This venue has the best layout out of all the venues in surrounding areas. It truly is the perfect venue and we can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for providing such a beautiful space and making all of our wedding dreams come true!”

“This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! The barn is the perfect combination of elegant and rustic, allowing our reception to feel both classy and homey. We comfortably fit 160 people into the barn for a seated dinner, with the buffet table for the food just outside the barn doors. We also loved the patio outside where guests could go to talk away from the music inside. We also had access to the ranch house, which was the perfect place for our rehearsal dinner and for my bridesmaids and I to get ready the morning of the wedding. The grounds of this venue are stunning, so no need to travel anywhere off property for a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos! Finally, Matthew and Christina are very prompt and professional. They were so helpful to us in the planning process and throughout the wedding weekend. This is the perfect venue to encompass all of your wedding weekend needs!”

“We can’t express enough what an absolute beautiful setting Tar Creek Ranch provided for our wedding! Matthew and his team at Tar Creek Ranch take the time to understand your wedding vision in order to provide every opportunity to make that vision come to life. We felt a unique amount of support, flexibility, and communication while planning our wedding from everyone involved at TCR. Everyone is incredible friendly and took wonderful care of us and our vendors throughout the whole wedding weekend! Tar Creek Ranch offered such an elegant environment with their one of a kind reception space: a beautiful, immaculately restored barn with gorgeous lighting, plenty of space for tables and a dance floor, and a two way bar for our guests to enjoy drinks inside or on the patio space! Our guests could not stop complimenting how lovely and peaceful the venue was. We were also incredibly thankful for the house on the property that allowed us to host our rehearsal dinner and was a place for our bridal party to have a comfortable place to sleep the night before and get ready for the day! We were thrilled to have so many stunning locations on the property for wedding pictures that helped capture the landscape of our beautiful town that we both love so much. We have so many incredible, priceless memories from our wedding day that were possible thanks to Tar Creek Ranch. We completely recommend Tar Creek Ranch for any event you need!”

“As the owner and lead coordinator of Kreative Details by KD, I've had the pleasure of partnering with Matthew & Holly (owner & manager) on multiple occasions; they are quick to communicate, easy to work with, and are just simply amazing. Our Kreative Details team absolutely loves Tar Creek Ranch and we are excited whenever a couple decides to book their wedding there. Surrounded by hills and open fields, the venue is quiet, peaceful, and private. The ranch's beautiful indoor and outdoor options allow for a variety of different wedding styles and photo locations. The barn's fabulous lighting, custom metal work, and built in bar offer a great space to entertain. Tar Creek has both luxury accommodations and space which is a rare find. The Central Coast is lucky to have this venue!”
