Higuera Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, helpful, and easy. Kristin was so supportive and went above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we dreamed of. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and well-kept, providing the ideal backdrop for our celebration.
