About us
Our Roots
OVS Weddings is the heart-led wedding division of Ocean View Stables, a cherished family-owned ranch nestled along the breathtaking coastline of Daly City, California. Our family has spent years building a space where horses roam free, nature reigns, and guests feel immediately grounded in something real. At our core, we believe weddings should be personal, soulful, and rooted in both beauty and connection.
Our Story
Born out of the success of Ocean View Stables and Leyden Horsemanship, OVS Weddings began with a simple idea: share the magic of this place with couples looking for something more than a banquet hall. We’ve hosted thousands of riders, families, and horse lovers over the years — and now, we offer our coastal paradise for couples who want a wedding experience as wild, grounded, and unique as they are.
