Our reception at Hanappe Ranch was absolutely perfect. The owners and coordinator of Events at Hanappe Ranch were exceptional to work with - through planning, problem solving and l...
ast minute issues, they were professional, respectful and treated us like family. There is plenty of parking with plenty of knowledgeable staff directing traffic. The venue speaks for itself and is absolutely simply stunning on the inside with plenty of indoor AND outdoor space to enjoy the night! We got SO many compliments on the beauty of both the indoor and outdoor spaces as well as the friendliness of the staff. The staff was wonderful to work with and quick to step in and solve issues or clean up messes.
Not only was the Post & Pin barn stunning, but the Cottage house was convenient for storing the bridal parties things and having a space to sit and have some time before our grand entrance for the reception. It was also nice to have a separate bathroom to utilize.
We just want to note that there is no running water in the barn - only in the cottage and no ice on site which had us figuring out additional plans with our caterer. But the Hanappe Ranch team was so easy to work with and figure out a plan.
Overall, the space and the staff was absolutely perfect and we would highly recommend working with Events at Hanappe Ranch for whatever event you are planning!
Cheers!
