Luscious Valley Garden Ranch House with Pond

Gary's space was a dream come true for our wedding. Some of the words used to describe the venue by our guests were "magical" "fairytale" "an escape". And I agree. My husband and I work in the wedding industry, so we've seen a lot of venues in our work. Gary's is definitely our favorite for an intimate wedding or any type of event where you want to wow your guests and keep everyone close together. Our wedding was small but it never felt empty. Gary was responsive, checked in on me many times during the night, and made sure it was perfect. If you need a sign to book this space, let this review be your sign.

We had such a great experience with Gary. Super gracious and went above and beyond to help us with our wedding. The space was clean and really well maintained. The pictures don't do this house justice. The space really transforms when the sun sets the light stringers are on. Bridal suite is quite the little gem as well. Would definitely use this space again!

Gary and Marie's space is truly magical and made our wedding celebration absolutely perfect. My husband and I had gotten paper-married mid-pandemic and were on the fence about doing a reception and celebration at all. We were casually browsing Peerspace, stumbled across this gem and fell in love as soon as we visited the place in person. It's such a lush oasis in the middle of LA - Gary and Marie have spent so much time and love on this place, and it really shows - from the cafe string lights, beautiful orchids, jasmine, koi fish creek (and Gary spraying mosquito repellant ahead of time around the water) - they've thought of absolutely everything and little additional decor is needed. We received so many compliments from guests on this venue. Gary was also super helpful in connecting us with furniture rentals, being flexible with caterers, furniture drop-offs, etc. The suite and kitchenette for getting ready was also gorgeously decorated and super convenient. Gary and Marie, we can't thank you enough for opening up your place and hospitality for our special day. You both made everything so easy, freeing us up to be present and really enjoy this day. It was even better than we could have imagined. Thank you thank you!!

This space that Gary and Marie have created is nothing short of magical! We had the pleasure to see the garden in both the daylight and in the evening with the strand lights on, and both views were stunning and gorgeous. From the private kitchenette where we served hot drinks and dessert, to the coy pond's elegant addition to the atmosphere, every aspect was just perfect. Our guests were really in awe of the location and would not stop telling us how amazing it was that we found this place. And not only was the physical space out of this world, but Gary was a phenomenal host. Super responsive to me (and a few relatives) who would message about the event. He gave us a tour before booking to confirm that the space was to our liking, recommended vendors for tables and chairs, and was always quick to respond to messages/questions/concerns. Day of the event, Gary was around during set up to see if we needed anything and came to the rescue when we were one folding table short for the buffet. He was around when questions needed to be answered but he made himself sparse when the event started to give my family time to mingle and talk together. Not only is this location warm and welcoming, but our hosts were too! I would hands down recommend this place to anyone that's looking for one-of-a-kind, special venue! Thank you so much Gary and Marie! My family and I are so grateful.

To say this venue was perfect for what my fiancee(now wife) and I were looking for in a wedding venue, is an understatement. What Gary & Marie have done to convert their backyard into a perfect wedding venue is beyond me. From the private room to prep, the coy pond for atmosphere, and the gorgeous yard to walk down the aisle on, it was all so intimate and desirable. My guest were in awe of the location and it really brought them all together to laugh and share stories. The yard was covered in a wonderful backdrop of flowers, plants, and string lights, perfect for photo opportunities. The driveway was a fantastic place to either set up the buffet area or for a cocktail hour. I will not only highly recommend this place for a party venue, but I will also recommend for any photo shoots and filming locations. The fact that Gary and Marie were there throughout our wedding was a life saver. They helped me with so much, provided items that we had forgotten, and assisted with any heavy lifting. I could go on and on, but I will leave the review with this...This location is a must see! If I could give them more stars, I would. Infinite stars out of 5.

The host was amazing and very attentive and responsive to every message. The space is even better in person then the pictures. The wedding was amazing and people loved and complimented the space all night long. Thank you ,Gary and Maria

Gary and Marie were AMAZING hosts. My husband and i renewed our vows in their backyard and they were so accommodating. They made sure throughout the entire party that things were going well. Their backyard is a dream. Our guests would not stop talking about how fairytale like and perfect their backyard was. We were so happy and could not have asked for a better venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor fairytale setting. We drove from Arizona JUST for the venue. Thank you Gary and Marie!

Yesterday March 6, 2021 my husband and I had our wedding in the luscious garden. We were able to utilize the driveway, whole backyard, and the bridal sweet. Gary has put so much work and detail into his property, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful spot to begin a new journey together. From the moment you walk through the gates into his yard there is a sense of magic. The garden is so naturally decorated by nature and string bulb lights that illuminate the whole space that we only did minimal decorations for centerpieces and it was the most beautiful wedding. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Gary was such an amazing host as well. He always stayed present and anything we needed he found a way to do it for us. Whether it was to move some things around, fix the train on my dress, or glue one of my corsages back together when 2 flower stems had fallen out, it didn’t matter he was there to help. He was a life saver. And then to place the cherry on top Gary spoiled us with a surprise giant sparkler during our first dance, father daughter dance, and the last dance of the night. Between picking the venue and planning our wedding for the last 6 months all we wanted was magic and love to surround the whole wedding and this place did it for us. Yesterday was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have done it anywhere else or without Gary. We are forever grateful!
