This venue surpassed all of our dreams. From tiny details like the greenery from the ranch added to our tables to fresh bakes pastries for the bridal party to the absolutely amazing photos the venue owner sent us, this was a dream. If you love nature and want a truly magical spot for your special day, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Lotus View Ranch. I cannot recommend this stunning venue and incredible family enough. If you’re on the fence, just take a tour and you’ll see the magic.

I recently returned from my second trip to Lotus View Ranch and I can’t say enough about how wonderful my time was there. The property is absolutely beautiful and being early spring was covered in blossoming native plants and alive with deer, birds with their many songs and other wildlife. The Lotus View staff made my stay there all the more comfortable and welcoming in atmosphere which was just amazing. Thanks so much and I hope to return soon! ?

Just back from a an amazing Wedding at the Lotus View Ranch; The owner, Rick Wolfe, and his amazing crew provided the perfect venue and catered to my daughter's vision. Rick shuttled the wedding couple and photographer to picturesque first photos of the snow capped Sierras, wildflowers, meadows and a beautiful pond. The venue has a cottage for the party to dress. My understanding is there are several venue options... we utilized the lower meadow for the ceremony and hors d'oeurves and then moved to the barn for dinner and dancing. The team shuttled anyone that wanted a ride; I, as most, preferred walking the pathway of lights to the beautiful upper meadow and barn. Tables, place settings and decorations were setup per my daughter's request. It was perfect evening. We utilized the barn to dance the night away.

Some tips:
If you want a limousine or party bus both Folsom and El Dorado counties offer transportation rebates($500 and up) if you have enough people staying at a local hotel. Check out "Go Folsom".

We utilized Pinklane_Events wedding coordinator; Hannah made sure everything ran smoothly and has lots of decorator items to make your vision come true.

There's lodging and Rv parks overlooking the picturesque American River in Coloma just minutes from the venue.

If desired, the venue has space for a few motor homes.

I experienced deep contemplation and beauty while attending a retreat at Lotus View Ranch. The grounds are immaculately cared for and the views unforgettable. I felt very safe and relaxed while there which tells all I need to know about the subtle energies that reside there. I feel grateful beyond words for the time spent there.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Lotus View Ranch exceeded our expectations in every way possible. With every pre wedding planning session at the venue, they knew exactly what questions to ask to keep on track with the planning. Rick, Susan and the entire family are amazing, welcoming, genuinely kind people. We absolutely loved the many options of decor that they let us choose from with things they already had at the property. You tell them what you want and they make your dreams come true. The property is absolutely gorgeous and has so many beautiful photo spots throughout. If you’re considering booking this venue , DO IT. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

If I could give this Venue more stars I would!!! We got married here with 100 guests and it exceeded all our expectations. Their crew was exceptional! People kept telling me how calm I was prepping and planning for our wedding and I accredit them for that luxury. Set up, pick up, partying, planning, was all done with ease and confidence being rest assured it was in good hands. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything turned out and I whole heartedly agree. If you book here I strongly reccomend asking for reccomended vendors because they were the icing on the cake! From beginning to end Rick, Susan, Alex, and Tegan were the Fairy Godmothers of weddings creating the perfect whimsical wedding of our dreams for us to remember forever!

We chose Lotus View for our wedding ceremony and reception based on the beautiful setting and the wonderful, welcoming first impression of Rick and his team.

What a great decision it was. The whole team went above and beyond in every way—creating an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. From vendor recommendations and logistics to creative and fun decorations we were in great hands.

We were confronted with a surprising and challenging late spring storm, but never once had to sacrifice our vision thanks to their flexibility and determination.

Lotus View Ranch is simply stunning and its stewards will make sure the beauty of the land shines through on your special day.
