Tirple S Ranch made our day exactly what we were looking for. We left our wedding weekend ready to book our anniversary weekend and come back! Everything was exactly as detailed by Derek. There were no big surprises before our big day and we were thrilled with the cleanliness of the property.

The venue - lovely! The owner/management - horrific! We feel we were misled about pricing and treated poorly by the owner and manager. They did not get the dining layout to us until days before our wedding, meaning we had to do seating at the 11th hour. They did construction without notifying us and that was only finished hours before we arrived (thankfully we'd been up the weekend before and noticed that there was a construction zone in the middle of our wedding venue and followed up with our wonderful wedding planner who pushed them to complete the work and clean up; though just in the nick of time, and without the deck which the unit was supposed to have!) They went back on their word, both verbal and written, about many many things from pricing, to number of chairs they had, to additional beds/pricing; then they said it was us 'asking for more' when we were just going with exactly what had been told to us. They seemed to make up the 'rules' as we asked questions. When you m... Read moreeet with someone in 2018 about a wedding to take place in 2019 - you give them the 2019 pricing, or honor the rates you told them...all the way through (as our food vendor did). Unfortunately they chose not to do so, making for a stressful, frustrating time with them, and which cast a pall over our wedding weekend. It was also creepy when we did a walk-through of the property late on Friday night and found the neighbor walking around, and heading towards the unlocked building that stored all of our booze, etc. (and said it was "ok b/c his dad used to own the property"). Our wedding was an amazing experience; but we would not recommend any other couple put themselves through what we went through with Derek and his team. Update in response to the note from the owner below: these ARE the facts. You told us the prices, then sent a contract with different pricing - we had to negotiate to get you to honor the initial price you'd quoted. You did honor it for the weekend, but not for the extra night (which you had increased by 50%!) You asked us how many beds we wanted in the bunk rooms (I've got the emails to prove this), then when we didn't want all of them, you said it was by the room, not by the bed (also have this in email), so then we needed to 'negotiate' again to get you to honor your original commitment of not having to pay for a whole room full of beds when we only needed two. Then, when we said we wanted one bed in each of the bunk rooms as the two guests did not know eachother and were of different sex, you charged us a higher rate. ALL OF THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN EMAIL. You told us you had extra chairs to rent to us at 1/2 the cost of the local vendors. We have this in multiple communications; then when we followed up on using some of them, you suddenly didn't have any. I, too, am happy to speak with anyone about our experience with this venue. You might also want to do your due diligence with the county to be sure they have all of the correct permits in place to host your wedding. It was well within Derek's power to make us happy, all he had to do was honor the prices he quoted us. Frankly, he would've make thousands more off of us b/c we would have stayed the extra night and hosted more guests in the bunk rooms, but at that point we did not want to give him another dime of our money. And we are still awaiting the balance of our deposit more than five months after our wedding. He sent most of it, though after the 30-day deadline, holding back what we owed him for the two bunks we rented as we were not told until last minute if they would be available or not, but then conveniently 'forgot' that he was giving us a (rather ungenerous) $200 discount for our lack of deck and ac in the unit he finished renovating hours before our wedding, and has still not sent that to us. p.s - we were married 6/29/19 - the header shows a future date for some reason.

Triple S Ranch is the dreamiest property you could imagine. The barn (and second barn in progress) and the cabins have beautiful, authentic details that are so rustic and incredible. The ceremony tree speaks for itself and the property itself is magical and out of a fairytale. There is also a pool, hot tub, gym, and cabins for guests to say. The venue does not put restrictions on venues so you can save a lot of money by bringing in whoever you want. They also provide tables and chairs which is a huge money saver too! The venue is extremely expensive and you must rent it out for the entire weekend, however, you save in so many other areas that it ends up being more reasonable than it sounds. it helps to charge your guests to stay in the cabins (as a hotel would). Overall, it is such a blast to have everyone all in one place for the whole weekend. 10/10 would recommend. We hope to go back one day!

The venue is pretty, but ultimately not worth the hassle and $$$. Our vendors were all amazing (contracted independently of the Property) but the ownership’s issues with not delivering on their contract was disappointing, stressful and could have been avoided if they held their clients / customers interests as a higher priority. We had an amazing wedding, but it was because of our guests and vendors, not because of the ownership or the actual property. I wish someone had shared this with me as we were making out decisions...

Triple S Ranch is one of the dreamiest, coolest and most unique venues in Napa! The fact that you can stay on property all weekend - really makes the couple & guests thrilled to spend more time with each other. Also the fact that you can bring in all your own wine & alcohol is a HUGE plus - you cut down on the cost of high priced booze like at other venues. Christine & Derek are easy to work with and it's clear that he takes pride in his venue - it's specially curated and holds amazing treasures. Not to mention the entire property is incredibly picturesque! I look forward to each time when I get a Triple S Ranch inquiry because I love working there as a planner!

We were one of the first people to have our weddings at the SSS Ranch. Due to issues they were having with neighbors, we were forced to make some changes less than two weeks before our wedding that ended up costing us an additional $10,000! As you can imagine, that was incredibly stressful to deal with and huge bummer. 
Some smaller issues that came up; the water completely went out for awhile during our stay. Also, some of the cabin listings were wrong compared to what were there when we arrived. It ended up requiring some of our guests to be displaced which wasn’t a great thing to deal with. Stuff happens and nothing is ever perfect. I can deal with unexpected issues—it’s part of life. But it was very disappointing to have zero response from Derek on these issues. He never responded to any of our notes. He ignored us and eventually we moved on. Due to the complete lack of response from Derek about all of the issues we encountered, I would never recommend the venue. I... Read moref everything goes smoothly, great. But if you do end up having issues at all, Derek was completely unresponsive to us. And I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to deal with that.

We were so fortunate to find SSS Ranch for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. Their priority was to have a celebration in a setting where their guests would be comfortable and surrounded by beauty, and the Ranch delivered that and more! The property is a gorgeous natural setting with rolling hills, trees and spectacular natural light, and the buildings, all of which were available for the wedding weekend, have been renovated beautifully. For our daughter, this allowed a awe inspiring yet comfortable weekend of wedding festivities with family and friends but we could clearly see how this property could host the most lavish of weddings as well. Derek has done an amazing job of renovating all the buildings, from the Victorian house, to the barn and wine bar, and all the varied “cabins” into a first class event venue. It’s a labor of love which the owner continues to find new ways to enhance and we have enjoyed following the changes since D&J’s wedding. Highly recommend for ...
