Ojai Valley Inn

Ojai Valley Inn is one of Southern California's most iconic wedding destinations. Set at the base of the Topatopa Mountains, where peaks stretch 6,000 feet in a rare east-west direction, the resort offers a landscape that shifts from golden to rose throughout the day. The valley is known for its gentle pink hue during sunsets, a phenomenon that gives every frame a painterly warmth that translates beautifully to wedding film.

The ceremony options at Ojai Valley Inn are among the most varied of any venue in California. The Hacienda Courtyard features Spanish-style architecture beneath a majestic oak tree with mountainside views. The Artist Cottage Lawn offers an intimate setting surrounded by natural beauty. The Farmhouse Lawn provides a tranquil atmosphere with a mountain backdrop, while the Orchard and Herb Garden deliver fragrant blooms and an intimate garden setting that couples consistently describe as breathtaking.

For receptions, The Farmhouse is a standout: a modern barn-style structure with high beamed ceilings and iron chandeliers that photographs and films like a scene from a movie. Casa Elar, a private mansion with its own pool and stunning views, offers exclusivity for couples who want their celebration to feel like a destination within a destination. The Hacienda Ballroom and Anacapa Ballroom provide elegant indoor options when the evening calls for it.
