Nice venue! Host/ owner is very kind & professional. My niece's wedding was held here. Beautiful, yet simplistic. I gave 4 stars cuz the indoor bathroom is only for ladies. Men have to use a portable stall. Otherwise, it's a nice place.

I loved working with Barbara! This is the first time I’ve been married, I am also the least creative woman I know and she helped me with every question/problem I had. She let us get married on a week day which I know isn’t usually the traditional, I actually got denied by other venues in Bakersfield because of it. But I will forever be thankful that this led me to her home.

Leaning Oaks Ranch was a perfect venue for my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding! With 150 guests invited, the setting was great for the 100+ attendees. Landscaping in the front area where the ceremony and most bridal party pictures were taken is beautiful. The plants offered greenery and a beautiful array of fall colors for the occasion. We were terrified that we might get rained out, but Barbara (owner, proprietor, sanity savior!) had connections to vendors offering tent options but assured us we would be okay without said tents after scouting the weather and staying in constant contact with us. (She was 100% correct) We then moved from the picturesque ceremony area to the back for the reception. This also did not disappoint. There was a good flow to the venue between the bar, the food serving, the tables for dinner and visiting with guests, to the Gazebo and dance area. It was cozy for guests but never crowded. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful...our guests wanted for nothing. I was pleased and impressed with the professionalism and hospitality at the wedding and reception. Leaning Oaks was completely accommodating and helpful every step of the way. For a wedding, you simply don't want to leave things to chance; the day is just too important. It felt like the staff were ready to meet our every need and offer suggestions when needed. I can honestly say that the guests, family, and the bride/groom were 100% satisfied with Leaning Oaks as a venue and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a local, outdoor, beautiful, and professional venue. We worked with Barbara and Keith to get everything we needed dropped off the day before the event so that set-up was a breeze the day of the wedding! Positive communication was a huge key to this very successful event. My daughter and son-in-law now have amazing memories they can look back on for the rest of their lives and smile. Choosing Leaning Oaks took away much of the stress of planning a large event and an important day! (More pictures will be added as they are received...)

We attended a wedding over the weekend…it was very Fabulous venue…it has a country club vibe. However, the parking in the pack could be a bitter paver with DE so it is much dusty guest. ladies, bring a pair of flat shoes or, any point heels 👠 will get you stick in lawn.

We got married here last weekend, it was beyond incredible. I am so thankful Barbara (owner of the venue) was there to help guide is through this overwhelming and stressful process of planning a wedding yourself, when you have no idea what you are doing lol. During the rehearsal barbara helped us to plan for the best set-up for decor as well as practice (with 50 people) a few run throughs for the ceremony. The day of, her and her team, along with my two day of event coordinators, went to work and I didn't have to worry about a thing!! Anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding venue should definitely check this place out, go at night to get the full effect of her incredible lighting!!
