Horrible Venue (It's a 1960's equestrian campground)
by RREC at Citysearch
Attended a wedding here. Website made it look like a fabulous place. It is not. Run down, old facilities, poor service from an uncaring staff. People actually got sick eating the food here. AVOID AT ALL COST. Speaking of costs, it's really overpriced.
- Pros: Only 2 people got sick after eating there
- Cons: Overpriced,shabby,poor service

Fabulous Wedding
by Zoeyriffic at Citysearch
We had our wedding at Calamigos. The location is gorgeous - we got lots of compliments. There were very few issues (there are always issues with weddings but ours were minimal.) We were all in all very happy. The staff is pretty accommodating. We took advantage of the overnight rentals and were comfortable and relaxed. They made our day special and beautiful.
- Pros: Gorgeous Spot
- Cons: Disorganized

Terrible Service
by UnhappyCouple at Citysearch
We contacted Calamigos via email requesting to book their venue. I had made a special trip out to California specifically to view and book a wedding venue. I live out of state because my fiance is an Air Force Pilot stationed in Texas. When I didn't hear back from our sales contact Erin Bagaason, who had been fairly unhelpful during the process but whom was supposed to be sending us the contract and taking our deposit, I decided to call and confirm the booking. I was told that another bride had a two-day hold on the date. I forwarded the email correspondence to the sales and management team but they didn't show any concern that a mistake had been made. They decided to honor the recent hold over our previous request to book. Both my fiance and I are very disappointed in their disorganized and irresponsible handling of the situation and I would not advise any couple to book with Calamigos Ranch. If this is how they treat you before you sign a contract I can only imagine what can happen after your are locked in with a deposit. Beautiful venue but definitely lacking in organization and service.
- Pros: Beautiful location
- Cons: Awful Service
