A Rustic Wedding at Collins Ranch in Ojai

This Private Estate in Ojai Provided The Best Atmosphere for this Rustic Wedding 

If you’re looking for quintessential California vibes but want something off the beaten path, I highly recommend checking out the venues in Ojai. We absolutely love weddings in Ojai! It’s hard to believe that in less than 2 hours from the bustle of LA, is a completely different atmosphere. Where the desert meets the mountains, there is a calmer energy and slower pace that is perfect for tying the knot. My recent couple, Bree and Mario, chose to host their rustic wedding at one of the private estates in the area called Collins Ranch. This unique property is truly a hidden gem due to the blend of elements. First, there is a garage/barn reception space is industrial yet breezy. Additionally, since the ranch is nestled into the mountainside, you get the most stunning photo moments. To give guests a specialized bar experience, we brought in a mobile wine bar that fit in perfectly. In addition, Bree and Mario hired the Shutterbus Co photo booth and we were able to park it inside the barn. 

Huge congrats Bree and Mario! To scope out private estates for your wedding, contact us on our homepage and we can get you in to this hidden gem and more!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
