Hummingbird Nest Ranch

A hillside ranch with a space for every scale

Hummingbird Nest Ranch occupies roughly 125 acres in the Santa Susana Mountains, about thirty minutes from Los Angeles. At its heart is a Spanish-style villa with courtyards, fountains and olive groves, and the land around it is divided into several distinct settings rather than one fixed layout. The villa, courtyards and olive groves give the smaller areas a Mediterranean look, while the Lake Lawn and the Stables take the largest parties, of 700 and 800 guests.

There are seven: the Villa and the Carriage House, each for up to 300 guests; the Vineyard and the Garden Pavilion, for 250; the Lake Lawn, for 700; the Stables, for 800; and the Grand Prix arena, at 999. Weddings move between separate areas for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, using a sunlit garden, a brick-arched courtyard or a tented dinner.
