Hummingbird Nest Ranch — Indian Wedding Florist
Private-estate Indian weddings at one of California's most requested ranch venues for large productions.
Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley is among California's most sought-after ranch-scale Indian wedding venues. The private 123-acre estate supports full-build productions for 400–800+ guest weddings with ceremonial, sangeet, and reception scale that few hotel venues match. CHIC Flowers designs Indian, South Asian, and fusion weddings at Hummingbird Nest with tent-based productions, full estate floral coverage, and the specific logistics that large-scale ranch weddings require.

Estate-scale tented productions
Hummingbird Nest operates primarily as a full-build venue — families bring their own tent rental, catering, AV, and production infrastructure. This gives enormous creative freedom for Indian wedding productions that want specific mandap designs, sangeet stage architecture, and reception tent configurations that hotel ballrooms cannot accommodate.
Typical Indian wedding production at Hummingbird Nest involves a large reception tent (often 30,000+ sq ft for 500+ guest weddings), separate ceremony tent or open-air mandap, and multiple dressing and back-of-house tents. Our floral production coordinates with the tent rental company on rigging points, interior height, and ventilation for floral freshness.
Outdoor ceremony and baraat
Outdoor ceremonies on the estate grounds are a highlight of Hummingbird Nest weddings. Oak-studded hillsides, grand lawn areas, and the estate's natural amphitheater settings all work for traditional four-pillar or open-canopy mandap installations. Ghodi baraats and on-foot baraats both work well on the estate's long entry drive.
Outdoor havan with Ventura County fire permit is supported. Ranch-adjacent wildfire considerations affect fire-season permit availability; we recommend October through May for outdoor havan at this venue.
Multi-day production logistics
Full-build productions require meaningful pre-wedding week installation — typically 4–6 days of production build before guest arrival. Our team coordinates with tent, rental, AV, and lighting vendors on an integrated build schedule.
Guest accommodation is off-property. Most Hummingbird Nest weddings block guest rooms at nearby Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, or Westlake Village hotels. Shuttle coordination between guest hotels and the ranch is a significant logistical element.
