"Such a beautiful and private venue! My husband and I did the photo booth as our guest book and everyone loved it! They also loved being able to make s'mores at the campfire! It was such an amazing night for my husband and I and for all our family and friends. Such a great venue for a beautiful fall wedding."

The HomeStead at Wilshire Ranch in Oak Glen is nestled on 5.5 acres tucked away in scenic Oak Glen. Wilshire Peak and the San Bernardino mountains tower above the property's majestic California oaks, massive sycamores, heirloom apple trees, and the sprawling lilac field.
