What’s Included: They DO provide permanent bathrooms and a changing room at each location. However, you are responsible for bringing in all outside vendors here; catering, rentals (tables, chairs, lighting, décor, etc.) and music. You will also have to bring in water for everything except dish washing. They also require you to hire their exclusive security and valet companies which are an additional fee ($30/per attendant and $37 per hour/per guard, respectively). Below are general estimates from the Valet and Security companies (and can change at anytime).
Food/Beverage: You can bring in your own caterer (as long as they are familiar with their policies and can provide general liability insurance). You must purchase their wines at an exclusive price or incur a corkage fee, however you are free to bring in your own hard alcohol at no additional charge.

Party On! The music curfew is 11 p.m. in the Vineyard/Dome and Camp Cabernet setting and 12 a.m. in the Garden/Oak Grove.
Important Note: Guests have complained of poor cell service at this venue as well as Wi-Fi for GPS. If you do book this venue be sure to be very detailed with your directions to vendors and guests. Also, it is possible that other weddings will be going on at the Ranch. However, they are extremely separate and have their own entrances so there should not be any overlap.
The Report:
Saddlerock Ranch has over 1,000 acres with vineyards, manicured lawns, oak trees, rose gardens, horses, and 4 distinct venues to get married in. It is run by Malibu Family Wines.
Woman Getting Married Says:
While this venue is very limited in terms of offerings (you’ll have to bring in everything from a kitchen prep space to a generator), you are getting a gorgeous location that can accommodate a large group as well as the ability to bring in your own (approved) caterer and hard alcohol. Couples love the Vineyard Setting, featuring gorgeous views in an intimate setting, which is actually what I would recommend here unless you have a rather large budget. If you’re having a larger group you’ll most likely have to bring in tents and setup several lounge areas for guests, which will definitely add up in terms of cost.
