Creative Ways to Use Las Palmas in the Summer: Beyond the Big Event

Worried the summer heat will get in the way of your event? You’re not alone—but there’s good news. Las Palmas de Ojai is just as stunning in the summer, and it’s the perfect backdrop for short-format, high-impact gatherings. Here are some creative ways to use the estate that go beyond the typical full-day wedding. 

1. Book a Styled Photoshoot 

From engagement sessions to branded lifestyle shoots, Las Palmas offers stunning year-round natural light, gorgeous nooks, and lush greenery. Early morning or golden hour bookings in July and August provide perfect photo and video filming conditions..

  2. Host a Private Dinner Party 

Plan an intimate evening dinner with friends, family, or clients. Set the table beneath the trees, add twinkling lights, and let a private chef create a seasonal menu. These events shine after 6 p.m. when the temperature drops and the estate feels especially tranquil. 

3. Plan a Pop-Up Elopement 

Skip the all-day wedding and plan a two-hour elopement or vow renewal with just your closest loved ones. The magic of Las Palmas doesn’t require a crowd—it just requires intention.

4. Use the Estate for Retreat Sessions 

Facilitators, coaches, or healers can book Las Palmas de Ojai for morning meditation sessions, movement classes, or small group ceremonies. The serene setting and early quiet hours are ideal for soul-centered work. 

You don’t need a full wedding to experience the beauty of Las Palmas. With summer flexibility and discounted pricing, now’s the perfect time to book the estate for something intimate, beautiful, and just your own.
