Say "I do" at the top of the valley.Weddings at the Highline Summit House.
A private hilltop estate at the top of the ranch, with an infinity pool and 360° views of the Santa Ynez Valley. A lakeside lawn for the ceremony, a grand room for dinner, and 1,200 acres with nobody else on them.
The venue
One estate. 1,200 acres to yourselves.
The Summit House sits at the highest point of the Highline ranch in the hills above Buellton. Below it: a lake with a lawn for the ceremony, a ridge-top zipline platform for the photos, and the whole Santa Ynez Valley laid out for the sunset.
It's furnished, private, and yours for the day — or the weekend. No fixed hours, no house band, no other event down the hall.

The spaces
Ceremony by the lake. Dinner at the summit.
Use one space or all of them. Most couples marry at the lake, take the shuttle up the hill for cocktails on the terrace, and sit down to dinner in the grand room as the sun goes.
Lakeside ceremony lawn
Green lawn, still water, oak-covered hills behind the altar. Room for 300 or more.
Summit lawn & pool terrace
Cocktail hour or a second ceremony spot, with the infinity pool and the valley as the backdrop.
The grand room
Timber beams, stone fireplace, windows on three sides. Seated dinner for 100 or more.
Deck & patio
Wraps the house. Outdoor dining, the fire pit, and the view from every chair.
Summit zipline platform
The highest point on the ranch. Golden-hour portraits, a sunset toast, or the first flight as a married couple.
The Summit House
Four bedrooms, five baths, sleeps ten. The wedding party's home for the weekend.
More than the day itself
Every part of the weekend.

Fly before you say I do.

Stay at the summit
The house is part of the venue.
Four bedrooms, five bathrooms, sleeps ten. A full kitchen, an infinity pool, private sauna and gym, fire pit, pool table, piano and sound system. Fully furnished — the couple and family wake up on the wedding morning already on site, with the valley outside every window.
Pets are welcome. Assistance animals always.
How it works
We bring the place. You bring your people.
Highline is the venue, not the planner. You choose your own caterer, bar, florist, photographer and coordinator — we'll hand you names and numbers of the people who know the hill — and we keep the estate ready, help with setup and clean-up, and run the shuttle.

Getting up the hill

Year-round. We plan each wedding around the forecast with you, and the grand room is the indoor plan if the weather turns.
