My wife and I had the incredible opportunity to have our wedding ceremony and reception at 71 West Ranch Retreat in October 2023. The wedding ceremony site is atop a magnificent hill in the Texas Hill Country, all of our guests said this was the best ceremony site they have ever witnessed. The reception area was great as well, we served buffet style, with a 10 piece band, and 150 guests and had plenty of room to dance the night away. The bridal suite is a quaint cabin that my wife, her sisters, mother, and friends enjoyed thoroughly while getting ready, and the bridal photos situated in the cabin were a cherry on top. What made the wedding celebration so seamless is the property manager Andy, many of the guests commented how willing he was to lend a helping hand at any given moment. Andy responded quickly to any question or concern of ours while wedding planning as well. You will not regret holding an intimate wedding with friends, family, and loved ones at his venue!
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and Andy. For starters it is an absolutely gorgeous space. The reception hall and flex space are both modernized while the grooms suite has much more of a rustic feel to the outside of it and it just makes for such a unique venue. The ceremony spot was stunning especially with the weather we had. All of our vendors and guests fit comfortably and with the flex space we were able to spread a couple of vendors out like our photobooth, 2nd bar, and coffee cart. Andy is also the most accommodating and kind venue owner we could’ve found. He worked with us every step of the way and gave us what felt like such a personalized experience which I know we would not have gotten at any other venue we looked at. If you’re considering your wedding here, don’t look any further because this is the spot.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, truly incredible and sooo detailed. Andy had so many details covered, communicated multiple times leading up to the day, and was extremely professional throughout the day of. Not only do you get that kind of support, the venue is breathtaking. The view at the ceremony site, the reception hall, the bridal/groom suite…simply incredible. 71West was truly my dream wedding venue!
First off, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful venue. 71 West Ranch Retreat is a gem of the Texas Hill Country. Plenty of country charm with all the comfort and modern amenities you would expect. Our host, Andy, worked harder than most and bent over backwards time and time again to make sure our time at the venue was perfect. Take the time to visit and we can assure you, you will fall in love.
Let me just start off by saying this was the ONLY venue we toured because we fell in love IMMEDIATELY. The venue is beautiful, romantic, clean, and the view is dreamy!
Andy is an absolute gem! He was so easy to work with and made our day go so smooth. Andy and his dad helped us the day before when we came to drop off truck loads of decor. Andy was always so fast at responding and so helpful with recommendations.
Andy was there the whole day of our wedding and helped make our day magical.
I have been dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl and 71 West was everything I had ever imagined and SO much more.
Thank you Andy for making our wedding planning process so easy and our wedding day so beautiful.
71 West Ranch was an absolute joy to have as our venue on our wedding day. Andrew Erickson (owner) was patient and kind throughout our entire experience! It was a handful of months after we had toured the grounds before we reached back out wanting to do another walk through and choosing it as our venue. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous with no homes or highways in the background - very serene! All of our guests told us how much they enjoyed being there and we got great pictures. It was the perfect venue and exactly what we were looking for! Thank you so much Andy for helping us a achieve our dream wedding!
Amazing venue! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique the space was!
The bridal cottage made for some great getting ready shots. Andy was very helpful and let us come walk around the venue many times before our big day. We are so happy we chose to get married at 71 west! :)
Our day went off without a hitch. It was absolutely perfect and beautiful. Our guests loved the venue scenery and they are still talking about our day! 10/10
I fell in love with this venue as soon as we pulled up! It’s out in the hill country of Spicewood and owned by a fantastic family! They have an adorable cottage for the bridal party to get ready in, as well as another a large space for the grooms party to get ready in! They have a beautiful reception hall and a cool side space area that is covered for anything you want to turn it into! But my favorite part of this entire property is the ceremony site. They have a beautiful space for the ceremony up on a hill overlooking the hill country. Andy, one of the owners, was my main point of contact during the planning process and he was always so friendly and so helpful! And on the day of, he helped make sure everything went smoothly! He was so helpful at the end of the night too. My family who helped load things up for me at the end of the night, went on and on about how friendly and flexible he was with everything. I could literally go on and on, but those were some of the most important things that stuck out to me!
We came across this venue by accident and I am so glad we did. Its the most well put together venue in this area. We had the venue all weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. Andy and his family were a dream to work with and make the weekend a dream. Its a beautiful hidden gem in the hill country.
