About this venue

The Rancho Buena Vista Adobe was originally a wedding gift from the first property owner Felipe Subria. Subria’s daughter, Maria de la Garcia, married an American soldier, William B. Dunn, who was a private in General Kearny’s army. Subria gifted the property to William and Maria for $1 in exchange for a promise to care for him and for the ranch. The Rancho Buena Vista Adobe's enchanting lure began over one hundred and sixty years ago. Few would have known that many years later, Subria's gift to his beloved daughter and son-in-law would become the grand wedding venue it is today! Call for more information.
