Ates Ranch Wedding Barn was the perfect venue! It’s beautiful enough on its own that minimal decorations are needed. We had our ceremony outside by the big tree and everything was ...
so pretty. Mike is so easy going and so helpful. He let us view the venue before the big day several times so we could get ideas and plan what we were going to do. The guys loved their dressing room with the pool table and tv! And the girls’ room was big enough for everyone to get ready and not be in anyone’s way! The best part about having Ates as our venue was that you get the venue for two full days! We decorated and had our rehearsal Friday and didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding! My husband and I absolutely loved this venue and we are so happy we found this place. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect!!
