Weddings & Receptions
We look forward to celebrating your special day together!
Your wedding reception should not feel like it could be swapped with
any other Saturday night in any other banquet room.
​
At Coyote Ranch, your celebration unfolds under giant shade trees, twinkling lights,
open skies, and the warm charm of Old California. It feels natural, personal,
and refreshingly different from the typical hotel ballroom or country club reception.
​
Guests can enjoy dinner outdoors, sip drinks on the lawn, dance under the stars,
gather by the fire, and actually feel like they have escaped the ordinary for the evening.
No windowless room. No corporate carpet.
No wondering which ballroom your wedding is in.
​
Just beautiful grounds, relaxed elegance, full-service catering, and a setting that gives
your wedding its own personality from the moment guests arrive.
Located just 15 minutes south of San Jose, Coyote Ranch offers a
memorable outdoor wedding experience for couples who want their reception
to feel warm, romantic, and anything but cookie-cutter.
Since 1960, the Lybbert family has welcomed guests to celebrate with the
hospitality, beauty, and timeless charm of Old California.
Coyote Ranch does NOT charge any gratuity or service fees!
