A Venue for Every Taste

The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse at Ojai Valley Inn is an expansive 20,000 square foot culinary and event center that marries world-class food culture with indoor/outdoor gatherings. The Farmhouse is a connected natural campus of distinct spaces: The Kitchen, The Library, The Lawn, and The Great Room —an expansive 8500-square-foot multi-use, ballroom space. The wood and glass barn-inspired structures feature a natural palette of forest browns and greys, redwood siding, 25-foot ceilings, and exposed wooden trusses. The Kitchen is designed for open demo format, offering up to 80 guests a front row seat to the chefs in action, while the adjacent Library and garden courtyard, each seating up to 20, will serve as private dining and meeting areas. Additionally, 11’-6” foot high sliding doors will open dramatically to The Lawn with expanded outdoor seating, a landscaped garden of native olive trees and lavender, an organic vegetable and herb garden, and a majestic 100 year-old Oak tree anchoring the center focal point.

Casa Elar
An exquisite private estate located on the grounds of the resort, Case Elar is a magical Tuscan Villa-style property with over 10,000 sq. ft. in the residence and 44,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space, the perfect destination for an intimate wedding. From the 12 fireplaces and outdoor kitchen, to a sparkling swimming pool and dramatic mountain views, Casa Elar offers the privacy and luxury accoutrements any bride would dream of.
