A Venue with Heart and Heritage
San Marcos Ranch in Paso Robles began as a dream of creating a family haven where memories could flourish. Over the years, the owners transformed rolling hills into a vibrant retreat featuring a breathtaking rose garden with over 275 varieties, a serene 3/4-acre pond with pathways and waterfalls, and a lovingly restored 100-year-old barn adorned with a rustic chandelier and twinkling lights. The ranch’s charm is completed by its lively menagerie of animals, including goats, horses, peacocks, and more, adding to its warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Rooted in a passion for celebrating life’s moments, the ranch evolved into the San Marcos Ranch Wedding & Event Center.
