Gary and Gay pour their heart and soul into the ranch. They can be found helping out on wedding days, perfecting the garden, tending the grapes, and relishing in the beauty of the landscape on a daily basis. They have been married for almost 50 years and are blessed to have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. They believe in good old fashioned hospitality and feel so honored to be able to share the beauty of the ranch with others. Hear one of Gary's stories or Gay's laugh - I dare you not to fall in love with them.

While Natalie may not be a Kimmel by name, she has been adopted into the Kimmel fold. Mrs. Kimmel, aka Gay, was Natalie's favorite teacher in high school - so they've known each other for 20+ years!
​
Natalie has been working in the wedding industry for close to 10 years. She is the face behind all the emails and the coordinator for all weddings and events. She owns her own floral business and has had her designs published in many major wedding publications such as Green Wedding Shoes, Style Me Pretty, Style Me Pretty Living, Inspired by This and Offbeat Wed.
​
She met her husband on a blind date over 10 years ago and has a 4 year old daughter, Norah, who is her heart and her joy.

of business + development
Kelly is Gay and Gary's daughter and is proud to be a co-owner at Kimwood Ranch. Kevin and Kelly were the first couple to get married at Kimwood and their wedding inspired the family to open up the property to the public. They hope that anyone who steps onto the property can feel the love and care - they want to use the ranch to bless others!
​
Kevin and Kelly enhance the beauty and functionality of Kimwood in SO many ways. Kevin can fix anything and everything and can often be found working on new projects to improve the ranch. Kelly is a wizard with the books and finances and works to keep all the day-to-day operations running seamlessly.
​
You'll see both of their faces helping out on wedding days and if you're lucky, you might catch them slow dancing in the catering area at the end of the night! :)
