Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch

slie. They have fantastic memories to see them into married life – thanks for your part in their special day.

a special place to have a wedding or any other event. Thank you so happy I could share this with you all.

so awesome. The compliments we received from our guest I have never experienced. The flowers were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen at a wedding. It was just perfect. Our guest also complimented on the flowers and said the same. My daughter and her new husband said they couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding and had the best time of their life. They said it was magical and haven’t stopped thinking about it. Donna and Leslie are so personable and easy to work with they will be our friends forever.

f the Hill Country from every location on the property were almost too good to be true, it was an absolute fairytale. We had sole use of the house and property ALL weekend our entire wedding party was able to stay there, I was able to have my rehearsal dinner on site, live band poolside...I can hardly put the beauty of this place in words. Leslie, Donna and the rest of the staff were nothing but helpful in the run up and during the course of our weekend-we couldn't praise them enough. As my coordinator, Leslie absolutely stole the show, I had no idea what I was doing and honestly, I didn't have to because she was with me every single step of the way from contacting my vendors to zipping my dress, this girl is heaven sent. As a wedding venue, we couldn't fault anything. This place is a dream come true. Donna provided floral rentals, tablecloths, dishes, glassware, tables, chairs...seriously, I didn't have to do a single thing! There's a full commercial kitchen on site and honestly, if it's something you need, they have it! Again, we had full use of the property ALL weekend, the room we stayed in was great, full of everything you could ever need...lotion, bobby pins, shampoos, tissues..you name it it was there and all of our guests especially loved being able to relax in front of the window wall in the living area that overlooks miles of the Hill Country..again BREATHTAKING. The venue played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is testament to that, from the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

ienda, the pavilion (reception), the grounds, everything. It is vintage, eclectic, but also has modern touches. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are to die for! There are so many beautiful places for pictures around the property. Also, the set up is amazing. I loved that there was a hacienda for our wedding party to stay on site together the whole weekend. It made for wonderful memories. 2- Leslie and Donna - I truly can't say enough good things about these two. Both of them took so much time answering my 1,000's of questions and sitting down to make sure we were on the same page with what we visioned for our wedding. They truly care about you and your bid day. 3- The Florist (Donna) - I have to admit, because I am so particular, I was worried about everything being exactly how I envisioned. Donna NAILED it! Literally my bouquet was more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. The floral arrangements on the tables were gorgeous. And the ceremony flowers, OMG! She works so hard and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does. I can't thank Rancho Mirando enough for making our wedding more magical than we ever could've imagined! We are so grateful and will never forget our amazing day!

the absolute best. She went out of her way to help with every detail from the planning until the last person left the reception. The florals that Donna created for the wedding and reception were absolutely gorgeous. They are both very easy to work with, and we are so thankful to them and all their wonderful staff for making our daughter's wedding perfect!

amily. They both saw my vision & brought it to life. Everything from late night phone calls to text messages and meetings they assured to make sure I was satisfied with every detail. I’m forever grateful that they both went above and beyond for our wedding. I still get chills as I think about walking into the pavilion for our reception… Everything looked as if it was from a fairy tale. I will admit that my wedding and all the parties apart of it did not make their job easy including all my bad luck leading up to wedding day, but they helped me get through it and made it an admirable story to tell in the years to come. The coordination ran smoothly, the flowers were immaculate, the communication was clear between vendors, the focus on details was there and I felt I always had a friend to call when the planning got ‘tough’… Thanks Leslie! After I got engaged, the weekend following my Father & I traveled to Rancho Mirando. I already knew by the pictures and reviews over the internet that this was the place I wanted to get married! I didn’t know that when I arrived it was much more than I could ever imagine. During a year of planning I travelled to this property during the winter, spring, summer in all kinds of weather & each time the ranch was breathtaking. My husband & I got married in the fall of November 4th, 2017 and spent the Thursday prior to that following Sunday on property. The experience of staying on property made wedding weekend that much more worthwhile. My bridesmaids loved the hacienda and felt comfortable with the accommodations. Let’s just say when you arrive you’ll never want to leave! I truly don’t think my fairy tale would’ve came together without Leslie & Donna and all their efforts. They really are the dream team! As I’m kicking myself for this super late review I hope they know how thankful I am for them throughout the whole process since day one! Rancho Mirando not only gave my husband & I the best memories of our life, but it did so for our guest. The experience was like no other! This ranch in the beautiful Texas hill country will forever have a place in our hearts.

nd easy. We are just over the moon and in love with our wedding. We literally could not have asked for a better wedding planner...Leslie is the best of the best of the best. On top of being amazing at her job, she is also just so friendly and funny and enjoyable to be around, and we really consider her now a friend. She has an insane talent for doing this -- for caring deeply, for making people feel special. And for executing damn good weddings! Donna's florals took my breath away! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rancho Mirando! You blew us away!

eople to work with. Leslie and Donna are the mother-daughter duo who run the show and they really could not be any more wonderful. Donna is the décor and floral genius who turned my ideas into a real-life fairytale that easily surpassed even my highest expectations. Not to mention, she’s the nicest woman you’ll ever meet who is also really, really good at what she does! I must say that it is very endearing how much she cares about making everything perfect for her brides and making sure we’re 100% happy. One example of this that immediately comes to mind is the few times I would wake up to see that Donna had sent me emails in the middle of the night saying that she couldn’t sleep because she was up thinking of various floral ideas & other things for my wedding that she wanted to ask me about. I mean, how amazing is that?! Now on to Leslie. Leslie is the wedding coordinator at Rancho Mirando and, while I don’t know many other coordinators out there, I can’t imagine anyone being better at their job than Leslie. There truly isn’t much this girl can’t or won’t do! I knew I adored Leslie the first day we met back when I first toured Rancho, but seeing how helpful, efficient, organized, and in-control she was of every little detail on my actual wedding day was extremely impressive and SO comforting. Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous or stressed out and, very surprisingly, I actually wasn’t because I had so much trust and faith in Leslie and knew she was already on top of everything and then some. It doesn’t hurt that she’s also incredibly fun to be around and is absolutely hilarious. Even my parents and the wedding party could not stop gushing about how much they all loved Leslie and how impressed they were with her for so effortlessly and meticulously taking care of every. little. thing. the way she did. All in all, look no further than Rancho Mirando. Besides the things I already mentioned, having the huge and beautiful Hacienda where you and your wedding party can stay for the whole weekend, plus the breathtaking views and scenery, plus being able to have your rehearsal dinner on-site, plus the fact that your wedding is the only wedding taking place at Rancho on the given weekend you book…it’s really a no-brainer because you’re just not going to find all of those things anywhere else! :)

making your special day all that you've dreamed it to be. I'm so thankful, not only as the mother of the bride but a wedding florist designer from the DFW area. I could not be more proud even if I had done them myself.

on. And the property is all yours for the weekend, no sharing with other weddings. The views are spectacular. Plus, I love that there is a house on the property where you can stay the entire wedding weekend so that you spend more time with your family and less time on logistics of getting to and from places. Besides this, Donna made me feel so welcome by asking lots of questions about my fiancée and really trying to get to know us and understand our vision for our wedding. She made me feel like ours was the only wedding she was working on (and that certainly wasn’t true!). Other venues I visited immediately discussed contracts and pricing, and it made the experience feel very impersonal. Donna is also an amazing florist to work with because I knew pretty much nothing about flowers, and she could understand my vision and still create florals beyond what I had ever imagined! Many guests raved about how beautiful they were. Donna is also a talented ceramic artist. When I fell in love with her handmade china, she worked all year long to make enough for us to have at our wedding! Leslie, her daughter, was invaluable as our coordinator. She thought of so many details that we never would have thought of when reviewing our contracts and planning the schedule for our day. She has lots of experience with weddings, and when I didn’t know what decision to make, she was always able to provide great advice. On our wedding day, she somehow seemed to be able to keep everything flowing smoothly, and still constantly attended to my husband and I, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. Through the chaos, she always seemed so calm. She even brought us wedding cake at 2 in the morning! We are still glowing thinking about our special day. Many people complimented us on the amazing venue, florals, and decorations, but really, we owe this to Rancho Mirando. It is without a doubt the best vendor we hired. They really went above and beyond for us.

d luxurious. From the moment Kate and Eric met Donna and Leslie (mother/daughter team) and saw the beautiful venue which was once their home, they knew that they would be married there. Donna's florals are magnificent and she will work with you until you are 100% satisfied. She will also magically figure out the perfect florals if you're not quite sure exactly what you want. And her handmade dishes are stunning! Leslie is one of the most organized, detail-oriented persons I've ever met. She coordinated all of the many vendors for the rehearsal dinner and wedding so that both events ran seamlessly. She worked tirelessly for weeks before the wedding as well as Friday and Saturday nights, always with a smile, making sure that Kate and Eric were having the wedding of their dreams. But what I think is so unique about a Rancho Mirando wedding is the genuine interest that Donna and Leslie have in the couple and their families. They want to really get to know the couple, and find out about their lives and interests. They laughed and cried with us throughout the weekend, and we now feel as if they are family. Book your wedding at Rancho Mirando! It is one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

y made us feel that we were their only wedding and felt like "family"! They offered a wide selection of florals and decor that was customized for our "vision"! Everyone went home with the experience of being in the South of France complete with lavender fields! It was a dream come true and would ABSOLUTELY recommend this venue and professional team to anyone who wants a unique and gorgeous wedding!!

ing coordinator is amazing and so awesome to work with! They made our dreams come true at Rancho Mirando!!

was all thanks to Leslie. Family and friends couldn't have been more impressed with the event and venue. And having the Ranch for an entire weekend is phenomenal! Can I put a sixth star on this?

Donna were simply incredible to work with. Many of our guests raved it was the best venue they had ever seen. We loved being able to use the whole ranch for the weekend. Unlike most places that only give you half the day Saturday, our guests were able to come for the rehearsal on Friday and the ceremony/reception Saturday. Our closest friends and family stayed with us at the ranch too, and we all partied the night away. Trust me...you want to have your wedding here. I cannot thank Rancho Mirando and its staff enough for giving us the experience of a lifetime.

atmosphere that we were sold instantly! We fell in love with Donna and Leslie. They are an amazing mother-daughter duo. Their love and care towards you doesn't compare! Every bride's (or groom's) nightmare is for it to rain on your wedding day and lucky for us our wedding happened during Hurricane Harvey, but these two along with their staff went way beyond our expectations to make it an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. Leslie was completely drenched from the pouring rain, but she was determined to make our day perfect! (Definitely recommend booking the entire weekend) My husband and I cannot get over how wonderful our stay with our bridal party/family was at the ranch. Despite the weather conditions, they truly made us feel at ease about every decision or change necessary that had to be made. My heart is completely overjoyed that we were able to have a wedding at Rancho Mirando!

ll country. After we got engaged, we knew we wanted the perfect hill country experience, above all else. We researched venues all over Texas, and made multiple visits – and then I found Rancho! We almost booked from the website alone, but seeing it in person literally took our breath away. Rancho Mirando sits right on the Devil’s backbone and has unparalleled 360 hill country views unlike anything we’ve ever seen! There is an incredible Spanish Hacienda that overlooks the entire ranch and can sleep 16 people! We were able to have our entire wedding party stay at the ranch from Friday’s Rehearsal Dinner (on site at the Beer Garden) until Sunday afternoon. THAT was the absolute game changer! The ranch was our home for the entire weekend! THOSE were the moments and memories that we’ll never ever forget. As if Rancho couldn’t get any better - LESLIE and her mother, Donna, are the BEST PART! Leslie is the wedding planner and Donna does floral (rentals barn on the property). LESLIE is absolutely a god send and one of the best people I’ve ever met! SHE has impacted our lives even after wedding and treated us like family from day one. She not only thinks of everything (and has it covered), but she was right by our side & made our wedding adventure SO fun! The ranch has everything you can imagine! There are various rehearsal/ceremony/reception sites, & they’re flexible to do whatever you want, so the possibilities are endless! We seriously had so many people come up to us and ask, “Where did ya’ll find this place?!” and telling us that it was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen. I will never have enough wonderful things to say about how magical this place truly is. Rancho Mirando is so much more than just a wedding venue for us, it is now our new home away from home.

we fell in love with in college. We had already visited multiple wedding venues with no luck, when my wife found Rancho Mirando. She thought it was too good to be true, and judging from the pictures, I thought the same. The pictures are gorgeous, but the real thing is quite the sight to see. My wife contacted Rancho and spoke to Leslie, who is one of the main driving forces behind Rancho Mirando and its success. When we first met with Leslie (who became our wedding planner) she immediately made us feel like family. She and her team listened to our vision and turned it into reality. Honestly, I have heard a number of horror stories when it comes to wedding planning, so I was nervous to start the process. However, we luckily found Rancho Mirando and Leslie, who turned a possibly stressful experience, into a very enjoyable one. Rancho Mirando and its views are beyond what we could have pictured. The grounds are impeccably maintained— from the beautiful landscaping around the entire ranch, to the amazing (multiple) ceremony locations. We decided to have Rancho for the entire weekend, which allowed us and our wedding party to stay at the Hacienda on the property the whole weekend. This was one of the highlights of the wedding! Once we arrived at the Ranch on Friday, we and our wedding party didn't have to leave the property until Sunday after the wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner Friday night in the "Beer Garden," which overlooks the Bella Vista Ceremony site and the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country. Our wedding experience was one of the greatest weekends of our lives. This experience wouldn't have been as amazing if it weren’t for Rancho Mirando and the entire Rancho team – and for that, I am extremely thankful. If you are looking for a venue where you can experience the natural beauty of the Texas Hill country, and feel like you are right at home – this is the best decision you will make! Rancho Mirando gave us a wedding experience that far exceeded our expectations, and helped make our wedding weekend the best one of our lives.

loved the fact that we could have the rehearsal dinner at the ranch the night before so we could we could spend as much time there as possible. Donna and Leslie were wonderful to work with and made you feel like your wedding was the top priority during the entire wedding process. Donna's flowers are amazing and take the reception area to the next level! It was also super convenient having all the rentals (linens, dinnerware etc.) through Rancho Mirando so you don’t have to worry about yet another vendor. I highly recommend Rancho Mirando for your wedding day. Donna and Leslie make you feel like family and make your wedding dreams come true!

. The Ranch truly has a magic about it that creates an atmosphere of calmness and peace. The venue was the most important part to me while planning because I wanted to create the right atmosphere with the right vibe for our wedding day. I can truly say we all felt at home there the entire day. And I haven't even mentioned the best part - LESLIE. She is seriously a wedding angel to work with from start to finish!!! I knew nothing about weddings and was the most indecisive bride and she guided me throughout the whole process. She is a miracle worker and knows every in and out there is about weddings. Not to mention, she is just a really cool, down to earth, real person who will tell you exactly like it is - what every bride needs. Donna does rentals and florals and with our very modest budget, she made our wedding look like it belongs on the front cover of a magazine! Donna and Leslie felt like family and made the whole process so much easier and less overwhelming but they really go above and beyond on your wedding day! The whole day was executed seamlessly. Leslie takes care of every last detail and need of the bride and groom, family, guests, the staff - It is truly amazing what she does and how good she is at her job. So many of my guests after the wedding came to me in amazement with compliments on how well Leslie ran the show. You need someone there like her that is going to keep things on schedule and to direct guests/provide for them so you and the groom aren't burdened all day and can actually enjoy your wedding and that is what she did for us! I will be forever grateful to Leslie, Donna, and everyone at Rancho Mirando for giving us the wedding of our dreams with such incredible, beautiful memories! I will always have a special place in my heart for Rancho Mirando.

our day utterly effortless with so many thoughtful accommodations! Leslie took care of our vendors and handled all of the many timing and deligating needs throughout the day, so that it ran smoothly and stress free. Donna went and above and beyond and worked her magic with our florals! So thankful we found this gorgeous venue after much searching! We wish we could relive our amazing wedding day at this gorgeous venue and with the awesome staff! The owners, Leslie and Donna, are the sweetest mother/daughter duo and will always be considered our dear friends!

dian-fusion wedding with two ceremonies and a lot of custom components (like an Indian vegetarian buffet, a DJ for the ceremony to play Indian music AND a band for the reception), we needed a place that could accommodate all our choices and also help make things run smoothly, and Leslie and her team did just that. On the day of, the clouds were ominous, and the skies opened just as our guests were arriving. But thanks to the excellent backup plan available to us, which in itself is a gorgeous setting for a wedding, our guests stayed dry and were able to explore the grounds once the sun broke through again. Most importantly, our guests absolutely loved the venue and were happy to have made the trip from all over the country to be in such a beautiful setting.

d our wedding there - it was an unforgettable day and we have so many great memories. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work!

nning...however, they do not hold a CANDLE to the view from Bella Vista. My husband and I were married in that location on 4/8/2017, and it was the perfect start to our marriage. The guests' minds were blown. It is just the most beautiful ceremony location. Come visit, and you'll see what I mean. We rented Rancho Mirando from Thursday-Sunday, and it was so much fun to have the wedding party stay with us for a few extra days. We were able to have down-time together, catch-up, and laugh into the night. We all woke up together, drank our coffee, and looked out over the beautiful land. Having the ranch for the entire weekend: highly recommended. Additionally, Leslie and Donna were a PLEASURE to work with. They have an adorable mother-daughter relationship and were honestly a part of the family by the end of the wedding weekend. I believe my mother invited them to our next family reunion... Leslie served as our coordinator, and Donna provided the rentals and flowers. No complaints. It was all fantastic. Guys, seriously consider this option for your venue. I'm not kidding.

ceived so many compliments on my wedding and I have to thank Leslie and Donna for that :) My husband and I were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. We had sole use of the house (hacienda) for 2 days and on both days our wedding party and family were able to stay with us in the amazing house. We were also able to have our rehearsal dinner under the big, beautiful white tent which was a huge plus. Leslie and the rest of the staff were nothing but helpful in the run up and during the course of our weekend-we couldn’t praise them enough. As a wedding venue we couldn’t fault anything! We had full use of the hacienda so we were able to keep the party going both nights! The room we stayed in was great and all of our guests had their own bedroom and were able to relax enjoying a few drinks :) Rancho Mirando played a huge part in the success of our wedding and our guests are still raving about the venue! Thank you again Leslie and Donna for making my dream wedding come true! - Whitney & Sam Mussett

fferent spaces to utilize around the venue during your wedding--your options are endless. They also have great rentals for you to utilize at a reasonable cost. Now, for the less obvious. What you will quickly come to realize if you choose to get married at the ranch is that the women behind the scenes, Leslie and Donna, are a GREAT team. I really don't think there is any duo better than them in the area. Leslie is so well organized and obsesses over your wedding details in a good way. Donna is extremely creative. I used Donna for my flowers and she did such a wonderful job. She executed my vision flawlessly. Donna also went above and beyond while making my wedding dishes. She actually handmade the dishes I used at my wedding using her on-site kiln. When her kiln broke, she drove an hour there and back to another kiln in the area, in order to complete my dishes. You really can't go wrong with choosing to have your wedding here. My husband and I were both very happy that we did.

ekend at Rancho Mirando and used every space we could on the property as it is just spectacular! The Hacienda was a perfect place for bride, mom's and bridesmaids to stay the night before the wedding and get ready day of...many special moments together! Was also a very special touch for the bride and groom on their wedding night. The views, the venues, the staff......simply amazing!! Donna did all our florals and decor working well within our budget to create a simply stunning wedding and reception. It was just beyond our wildest dreams! We also used her handmade dinnerware which provided a unique and special touch to our tables. I can not express how wonderful (and easy) it was to work with her and every detail was perfect. Our guests were blown away throughout the whole weekend and truly our vision came to life. Leslie managed the flow and set up and was there for every need that we had while staying on the property. These ladies are truly a delight and we felt like they were part of our family with the warmth and special attention we received. Every aspect just amazing. I can not recommend Rancho Mirando enough for your wedding weekend. Whatever your vision, whatever your dream for your wedding weekend this is the place to make it come true.

inner was held there on Friday and the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception on Saturday. Even with all of these events happening in the same place, they were each at a different location within the venue because there were so many beautiful places to explore and enjoy. The house was a haven for me and my bridesmaids the whole weekend. We all stayed there together on Friday night and stayed up late under the big beautiful tent and chandelier talking about life and the big day to come. We woke up on Saturday morning to incredible views that were both calming and romantic. The house provided everything we needed for the chaos of getting ready, not to mention the decor and color made for THE CUTEST pictures! In fact, my photographer snapped pictures of us all over the place! We took first look pictures in the courtyard filled with flowers and gorgeous vine covered walls, and after the sunset, there was a full moon photography session close to the lavender fields. Once the reception started, we had a couple of babysitters stay at the house so guests and family members were able to let their kids hang or sleep in one of the many bedrooms while they continued to party, but the parents were never far away as everything is so close on property. It was also such a joy to stay there with my new husband and not have to travel far after an exhausting day. After all guests left, we stayed up late drinking and reliving every moment together with the company of a few close friends and family. The day after I woke up a couple hours before anyone else, sat outside drinking coffee, took in the amazing views and thought about all the happiness I had just experienced. It was a perfect moment I would never trade it. This venue allows for precious and unexpected moments that I will cherish forever. Rancho was easy to work with, they provided everything I needed in the house for me and my girls, but most importantly the decor and views blew me away and all my guests! It far surpassed any other hill country venue I saw AND they have no limitations on vendors. If you want a venue that provides pictures perfect moments, cleanliness and comfort, flexibility for you and your guests and an unforgettable weekend getaway - you have to choose Rancho!

t events. You really can't beat having the venue for the entire weekend. I was able to do a lot of the decor myself (I did all my own flowers) that I really would not have had time or room to do elsewhere and it helped make the day extra personal! Leslie is amazing and will absolutely take care of everything you need all weekend! I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day because anytime anyone needed anything, Leslie was there to help! Rancho Mirando is perfect if you're looking for a full wedding weekend experience.

e this place is just magical. So magical. I fell in love the moment I saw the pictures online, but none of them do it justice. From the fantastic, attentive and warm mother-daughter duo that runs the ranch (Donna and Leslie) to the ethereal landscape, amazing accommodations, options for different ceremony/reception sites, to the absolutely charming decor, you cannot do better for your wedding than Rancho Mirando. Donna collaborates with you on the overall vision, centerpieces, cutlery and the flowers. She is AMAZING with floral arrangements. She took my vision and made it an even more beautiful reality than I could have ever imagined. Leslie was fantastic. She really knows how to manage relationships and focus people's concerns on the bride and groom. She truly is a bride's best friend as many others have attested, making sure to de-escalate and resolve any potentially negative situations. This is crucial for ensuring a happy, drama-free wedding. She also manages all of the time logistics. She is exceptionally organized, and I don't know what we would have done without her. Everyone kept asking me how I was so calm on my wedding day, and it's because I felt like everything was taken care of and I had nothing to worry about, all thanks to Leslie and Donna. If you have the opportunity to get married here, please do it. It will be the best decision of your life. But don't just take my word for it: all you have to do is visit this breathtaking place and meet Leslie and Donna to know that's true.

rsal dinner tent were absolutely perfect. What I like is that you can do something very casual and rustic or you can make it into the most dreamy, romantic spot you have ever seen. It is very versatile. Donna was a delight to work with. She is very talented- right down to her flower arrangements and hand crafted dinner plates. We will definitely recommend this venue to others wanting to get married in the Texas Hill Country.

guests saying how beautiful our venue and wedding was. Leslie, Donna, and their staff truly made our wedding day and week magical!!!

my wedding was more than I could have ever asked for. I was new to the state when I was looking for a venue and was weary of having a wedding in a place where I knew no one and had no where to turn for references. I got lucky and found this dream location at Rancho Mirando and immediately knew upon touring, this was going to be my wedding location. I had to plan the bulk of my wedding myself due to my family being out of state but Leslie and Donna really stepped up and helped me make my dreams come true. I was beyond excited when they made it so easy to plan, from the ceremony, to florals and decorations, and even the day of coordination, Leslie and Donna were my “fairy godmothers” making sure everything would be perfect. I cannot say enough about how blessed I felt to be able to have my wedding at their venue but I was even more blessed to feel like family with these ladies. They went above and beyond their roles for my wedding. The final product of my wedding blew our friends and families, myself included, away; it was literally a New Year’s Eve wedding fairytale. Upon entering my ceremony site I started crying because everything was picture perfect. A wedding is a moment you dream of forever, everything was so incredibly perfect and I knew at that moment, without them, none of it would have been possible. Thank you Leslie and Donna for being my fairy godmothers.

very site at this ranch including the wedding ceremony site, pavilion and ranch home.

will ever meet. Leslie I swear was my fairy godmother throughout this entire process. I honestly don't think I would have made it through the day if it wasn't for her. My family is forever indebted to rancho mirando. Anyone who is looking for a place to get married should check this place out.

o many extra features we simply couldn’t find anywhere else – Our wedding party stayed in the ranch house that’s included as a part of the venue contract, Also, if you’re looking for an outdoor venue, you might’ve noticed it’s difficult to find one with all the extra's that Rancho Mirando offer...You have the whole ranch....With a beautiful pavillion and sites for the ceremony... Their restrooms are beautifully done, and we actually had guests comment to us how beautiful the restrooms are (not even joking). Most importantly, Leslie (Co-Owner) is one organized lady – Her mother and her are a great team...They had prompt answers to our many questions, and with the venue being family property, she knows it extensively and is able to provide the best advice based on her years of experience in the area. Thanks for everything, Leslie my daughter and I can honestly say that we have a new family with Rancho Mirando.. You made us feel like family and made sure that we had the perfect wedding...Leslie and the staff's spirit just spills joy and happiness...What a blessing she was, They made sure that our daughter and son-in-law had the wedding that showed their love and commitment to God . She understood what they wanted to share and made sure it was shared...My husband made a arbor to share their washing the feet ceremony and they had no problem helping us and getting to make it look just write... My husband and I wanted a perfect wedding for our ONLY DAUGHTER ....We scored 100 percent....Thank you again.

taking wedding venue I have been to! If you are looking for a beautiful unique venue with owners that are there to support you every step of the way Rancho Mirando is the way to go!

to ensure that my daughter was pampered and relaxed for her big day (which I appreciated because my daughter is very "Type A"). Leslie and Donna both are very special, talented individuals and I'm thrilled that we experienced the beauty of the Ranch for the weekend.

on and all of the meticulous attention to detail that made it such a special experience.

The buildings on the ranch are very architecturally pretty and fit well with the surrounding hill country. I had more of a wedding weekend in that the entire guest list was invited to the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding on Saturday since almost the whole guest list had to travel several hours for the wedding. It was really nice to be able to have multiple events all in one place but have different locations on site for each event. We were able to use the large clear tent on property for the BBQ rehearsal dinner. It is hung with lights and chandeliers and it looked beautiful. We popped a few heaters in it and it was perfect even in December. I chose the new Bella Vista ceremony site and could not have had a more picturesque sunset wedding. The reception hall is nice with big glass doors that open to the outdoors so the party easily flows in and out in nice weather. All around the property is laced with christmas lights and hanging lanterns that are all lit up and night and just magical. There were also several fire pits that we had lit on both nights. At the rehearsal dinner instead of dessert we put out ingredients for s'mores to roast over the fire pit and it was a huge hit with kids and adults a like. The last piece of the property we used was the hacienda. It is where we housed the bridal party and myself and my husband. We checked in on Friday afternoon and stayed for the weekend. It was so relaxing not to have to worry about driving anywhere for anything! There were plenty of rooms for the bridal party, a kitchen loaded with anything you might need to cook, and a great communal room to get ready in. With as fantastic as the Ranch itself is, it is hard to believe that it could get any better. However, what really made my wedding were the Ladies that run it. Leslie and Donna own and operate Rancho Mirando and the were wonderful. The best. Could not get any better. My family is very particular. We visited the ranch a TON in the planning process and were welcomed with open arms every time. Nothing felt rushed. Everything was planned down to the last detail but in an easy and relaxed way. Leslie and Donna made everyone happy and comfortable (which can be very difficult in my family where everyone has an opinion). Leslie was my day of coordinator and she's a pro. Everything went smoothly, I had a blast, I didn't have to worry about anything, I never wanted for a drink, and when my mom had a minor heart attack because she forgot her panty hose and it was starting to cut into picture time, Leslie made a pair appear out of no where. I used Donna for rentals and for the florals. I picked everything from table cloths, to silverware, to center pieces vases from her rental barn. She looked at my pinterest board and made my reception hall looked absolutely stunning. Really exactly what I asked for. Even better than I had imagined. They even made a floral arch for the ceremony site and did rustic center pieces with antlers for my rehearsal dinner and everything was fabulous. Donna and her staff do amazing work. To sum it up I couldn't be happier I used Rancho Mirando its beautiful and the ladies that run it make it nothing short of magical.

wedding could not have gone better. We were all so pleased and can not express our many thanks to Rancho Mirando and the staff enough. A wonderful time was had by all.

sal dinner, ceremony, reception etc. donna and leslie really treat you like family and we will forever cherish the memories we made planning the weekend and the wedding day itself.

sed to have been married here and highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married in the HillCountry! Donna is amazing for florals and rentals and Leslie can help you plan and coordinate every step of the way! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

weekend. It was very relaxing to be on site all weekend and enjoy the lovely grounds of the Ranch. Leslie and Donna go above and beyond and blew my expectations out of the water. They are truly a special team and were absolutely wonderful to work with! 5 stars across the board.

amazing and despite an ominous looking forecast, refused to "call it" for plan B and I was so grateful that she did as the sun miraculously came out, the rain stopped, and I got the ceremony of my dreams. I had several guests tell me and my parents that it was the most beautiful venue they have ever been to. I absolutely love everything about this place and am so I glad I chose here to get married at!

y helpful and sweet! I seriously feel like they became family over the year of planning. They always answered all my questions and went over and beyond to make the wedding planning process easier for me. Leslie ran the day of the wedding to perfection- if anything went wrong, I had no idea because it felt so perfect! She works SO hard and is worth EVERY penny! The venue- It is literally like a picture when you are standing on the venue and looking around. It is breathtaking and all my guests were blown away. Since you get the venue for the weekend, we were able to wake up Saturday morning on property and got ready right there in the hacienda! It was so relaxing and fun to have our hair and makeup team come to us and to not have a time that you have to be out at the end of the night! The flowers- Donna worked with me to make sure I had exactly what I envisioned in my head. She gave me a ton of options and I can't believe how perfectly she knew what I wanted! Again, guests were so impressed with the flowers and reception hall. People literally said they felt like they were at "A Texas Royal Wedding!" I think that is a great compliment... :) The rentals- They had everything you could possibly think of to choose from. Whether you wanted fancy, rustic, colorful- they had it all. Chairs, tables, table clothes, napkins, plates, silverware, etc. It made it so much easier to have everything all in one place. If you want the most perfect wedding day and weekend ever, use Rancho Mirando as your venue! I HIGHLY recommend it!

ive date (9/24/16) was still available as a Saturday one-day venue. We agreed and 4/25/16 was our appointment. We told the manager, Leslie, specifically that we were driving from 3 hours away and we had to take off work to see this venue. The ranchomirando.com website lists each month this year and next year and gives prices for 1 day weddings on Friday($5900), Saturday($8900), and Sunday($5900). They also list weekend prices ($15000) for those dates. We have been emailing/calling for 2 weeks to confirm both our desired dates (Sunday 3/5/17, Saturday 9/24/16) were available, they said Yes several times. We scheduled a date to tour the venue at 6pm. We also told them we MIGHT be able to see the venue early pending getting off work early enough. We said that we MIGHT be able to be there at 5pm instead of 6pm on the date we were scheduled to see it. Over the phone, Donna says "No problem, we'll schedule you for 5 pm, but if you can't get here until 6 pm, we can still see you then too." AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE OUR 5PM APPOINTMENT (which we are driving 3 hours to see, and are currently in awful Austin traffic), I get an email from Donna saying "I have a friend's birthday party to go to at 6pm, if you cant be here by 5, we probably wont be able to see you." We take off work half a day, gas up our car, drive 3 HOURS to see the venue, end up arriving 20 minutes early and no one is there. We call Donna to find out if we maybe parked in the wrong area and it goes straight to voicemail. We call Leslie who says that she will have Donna be right there. Almost 20 minutes later she shows up for our 5pm appointment, which IS on time, and the only positive part of our experience. We meet with Donna at 5pm for 4 minutes before she says "We've decided as of last week to discontinue our 1 day pricing, but you can still look at the venue and book a whole weekend at the weekend rate (3x the cost of the Sunday date)." We bring up that the website says the days are STILL AVAILABLE as 1 day pricing. They say "Oh well we decided last week that we're probably going to cancel that pricing schedule. Sorry you drove all this way, hopefully you are going to see other venues." We weren't there more than 10 minutes total. I was dumbfounded and offended that they wouldn't at least have the decency to (1) honor their online prices, 1-day availability, AND the price that they quoted to us originally or (2) call/email us last week when they decided to discontinue 1 day pricing and say "Sorry, we've decided we're only doing $15,000 wedding packages. If you want to spend that, we'd love to see you, if not, we understand, please don't bother driving 6 hours round trip and wasting a tank of gas to come see our venue. We can help find you cheaper venues if you want our help." As of 5/1, their website STILL lists the one day pricing options for all months this year and next year... Long story short, what Donna and Leslie are doing is nothing short of deceptive business practices, which is a criminal offense. They will tell you one price and switch it once you get there. Be warned, these are not the type of people to give your hard earned money to.

ing and Rancho Mirando is something out of a movie. Actually no, it's BETTER! Being able to stay on the property in the Hacienda from Friday to Sunday was unheard of when shopping for venues, and after visiting the ranch and meeting, Leslie and Donna I fell in love with it even more! Leslie was my wedding planner and Donna took care of all our florals and rentals. This mother-daughter team truly creates the most magical and comfortable experience, which was important for me being someone who is more reserved but at the same time a perfectionist. :) We booked Rancho Mirando in June 2015 and had constant communication discussing ideas, questions and sending Pinterest photos up until the day of my wedding in February 2016. Leslie makes you feel like you have known her for years, which made it so easy to put all my trust in her for my big day. Her recommendations for everything from the DJ and caterer to the cake and our officiant, were more perfect than we could have ever imagined and exceeded our expectations. The whole weekend went flawlessly and we didn't have to worry about a thing! It seemed like anytime my husband or I needed anything, Leslie would magically appear and ask if we needed anything or she had already read our minds. We were blessed with absolutely perfect weather that weekend, and our guests raved about the stunning views and architecture. It was honestly above and beyond anything we could have ever dreamed! Leslie and Donna are rockstars, but I also have to give credit to their staff for piecing together the most AMAZING weekend event. Shout out to Erin and Zack for everything they did too! Rancho Mirando is truly something special, and I hope all of my friends get married there so I can go back! :)

s...everyone will think you spent a million dollars on your wedding because your big day will be so breathtaking, I promise. I wanted to use the entire venue so I had my rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in different areas of the ranch which are equally beautiful. I highly recommend rehearsal dinner here as well...its so cool and casual and beautiful. Our entire wedding party stayed in the gorgeous hacienda on site the whole weekend and holy moly...we had SO. MUCH. FUN. It was just so PERFECT. LESLIE and DONNA...I love you ladies! These two beautiful women will make your wedding dreams come true. They make the process so easy and make you feel like family. Leslie goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly (and it will) and does not miss a single detail. She is your best friend and is an OUTSTANDING wedding coordinator. Donna provided all my décor and floral and I could not be more happy with the turnout. I really felt I could trust her taste in design...you can literally show her any pinterest photo and she will make it come to life. You will LOVE this property and so will all of your guests. I can't tell you how many friends and family told us this was the best/most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. We cannot wait to find another excuse to return to the ranch. Ranch + Hacienda + Leslie + Donna = BEST WEEKEND OF YOUR LIFE

y magical and beautiful place. Donna and Leslie make you feel like you are a part of their family and a very special guest in their home. There is no need to worry when you are in their special care. They take care of everything!! Both of these ladies have a vast knowledge of the industry. I love every vendor they recommended!! They were very patient with my budget requests and came up with very viable solutions to meet my goals without taking away from my daughter’s dream wedding!! The flowers Donna designed exceeded anything I could have ever imagined. Our guests were blown away and still let us know on a daily basis about the wedding. When I first entered the Reception Hall I literally screamed. It was magazine worthy!! I think that being able to stay on the ranch during the entire weekend is what sets this venue apart. The Hacienda was beyond belief!! Our photographer had plenty of backdrops and beautiful views to take breathtaking photographs!! There were plenty of rooms to accommodate all of the bridesmaids under one space which made the experience even more wonderful. The hair and makeup teams came to the house the morning of the wedding. We did not have to travel anywhere which was so much easier and less stressful!!! There are several locations on the ranch. We had the rehearsal dinner party at the new beer garden which was fabulous!!! The lighting, architecture and another spectacular view set the tone for the weekend!! The ceremony site overlooks the Devil’s Backbone. Below are lavender fields and beautiful flowers. Our guests were free to enjoy this part of the ranch pre-ceremony while sipping lavender cocktails. Again, they were blown away!! Words do not do this place justice. You must visit in person to experience the views, smells and sounds of this enchanted place. I know that this wedding would be the event of our lifetime. Thank you to Donna and Leslie for making this the most wonderful experience of our life!!

each other and knew this was the place we wanted, needed rather, to get married at. So much, that we wanted to wait two years for the perfect date. Words cannot describe how magical it is at Rancho Mirando. You feel as though you have been transported to another country. Pictures do not do it justice. But even if you did not fall in love with this amazing property, you will immediately love Leslie & Donna. These ladies put their heart and soul into each and every wedding. They work much harder than what they are paid to do, and do it because of how much they love the couples getting married. There are not enough words to describe how much gratitude my heart is filled with for these two for giving me the absolute best day of my life. I crazily searched through lists of venues throughout Austin, and no other venue has what Rancho Mirando offers. Nothing can describe being able to wake up in that beautiful home with all of my favorite girl friends and my mother, laughing and sipping on mimosas, sharing memories, and getting ready together. We were so relaxed and got to enjoy every moment. You really get to experience your wedding for a full weekend, with all of your family and friends. Believe me, time flies by quickly enough. We were so fortunate to be able to enjoy several days worth of celebrations with everyone we love. Leslie and Donna are like family, and we love them so much. They are two amazing human beings who we have been blessed with the opportunity of sharing their magical place with. If I could live it all over again, I would a thousand times. Again, I wish there was more I could say to express my happiness, joy, love, and excitement I felt through the whole process and for everything they have given me. It was just the best day of my life.

id just that! They all made sure my wife and I had the best possible time on our big day, and we did! Thank you so much Rancho Mirando!

er the course of 4 days and 3 nights. Other venues are more geared to provide you an 8-hour experience for just the wedding and reception. With our extended families and friends that came from all over the world we wanted a more relaxed setting for our arriving guests on Thursday, a Friday night rehearsal dinner, various activities and sight seeing for our out of town guests throughout the weekend, and of course the full day on Saturday which culminated in our wedding at sunset and a reception with mariachi’s and a full band with dancing until midnight. The Hacienda offers comfortable no-hassle on-site accommodations for 16 of our closest friends. The owners at Rancho Mirando have built a fantasyland venue that defies description. Somebody said that visiting Rancho Mirando was like falling down the rabbit hole in “Alice in Wonderland.” Free-range peacocks roam the ranch along with turkey, geese, ducks, chickens, roasters, whitetail deer, and fox. The Hill Country views are something out of a coffee table book. But being an architect, I was most impressed with the built environment. Clearly an architect was involved in the planning, design and construction of this place. And here I must disclose the fact that I was the architect. When I proposed to my wife to-be she made me the luckiest man in the world when she accepted. We both wanted to get married on the ranch but we wanted a special site for our wedding. Up till then all the ranch weddings took place at a wedding wall I had built earlier just below the Hacienda and above the olive and lavender grove. There was a rock quarry on the ranch that had no appeal other than the fact it commanded the best Hill Country views on the 50 acres. Donna asked me to design and build a new wedding park for us at the old quarry site and then make it available to other wedding parties that chose to be wed there. This was the genesis of our vision of Bella Vista. Bella Vista is our new wedding park consisting of a stone altar and patio built from stones from the now retired quarry, a guest path that meanders through a crepe myrtle orchard and wildflower garden, a processional arbor through which the wedding party arrives, a bride’s trail from which the bride arrives on a golf cart from the hacienda, a wine and beer garden which can be the site for both pre and post wedding hor d’oerves, a vineyard and a future sculpture garden. I can testify with complete confidence that when you book a wedding weekend at Rancho Mirando you will feel the magic of the Devil’s Backbone. My wife and her daughter Leslie will work endlessly to help you prepare for your special weekend and help you manifest the thousands of decisions and pieces of the puzzle that take place during a wedding weekend. I have witnessed myself almost two hundred weddings at Rancho Mirando and almost every single bride and groom has stated that their hopes and expectations where exceeded and they will forever be grateful for their experience at Rancho Mirando. For this praise, quite frankly ladies and gentlemen, is why we are in the wedding business.

eous views and makes the perfect backdrop for each moment on your special day. I love nature and elegance and Rancho Mirando is the perfect blend of both. I scoured the internet and looked at ALL venues in the Austin region and nearby areas; this one took my breath away online and was the perfect option to have a place where I could spend the weekend with my family (not feel rushed) and enjoy the days leading up to the wedding. When I saw it in person, I was sold immediately! Leslie and Donna make the venue all that much more special. They are very knowledgeable and ensure that you have all your ducks in a row before the event. On the rehearsal day and wedding day, they are on-site to ensure all goes according to plan. They keep everything on track, so the bride, groom, and family do not have to worry about details once they are on-site. My rehearsal dinner was the perfect, casual pre-party prior to the wedding. Leslie was on-site ensuring all went smooth. She is so down to earth that I spent a couple of hours chatting with her….felt like we were long-time friends. The day of the wedding, Leslie helped to ensure all of the details were addressed, and anything I needed, she was on top of. Donna and Leslie helped to make last minute flower arrangements, boutonnieres, corsages…all of which looked amazing…while simultaneously making sure everyone and everything else was in place. The day went exactly as I envisioned it and surpassed my dreams! I just got my pictures back, and the venue and views made the most incredible backdrop for the pictures. EVERYONE that attended the wedding had the most intimate, special, amazing time, and most (if not all) said that our wedding was the best they had ever attended. This is all thanks to Donna and Leslie’s talents and hard work, as well as the amazing beauty of the venue. Their goal is to make your dreams come true, and they succeed! CHOOSE RANCHO MIRANDO if you love nature, want to celebrate at an outdoor venue with incredible views, desire elegance, and want your dreams to come true!!

talked to was blown away at the beauty of the ranch and at the floral arrangements created by Donna. It was a truly memorable weekend and being able to stay at the ranch for the entire weekend with our wedding party topped it off. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding in the hill country, you won't be disappointed!

stop. From the second we passed the gates into the property, we knew we had found "our" venue. The property is stunning, the views are fantastic and the hacienda is wonderful. The other huge plus when you book Rancho Mirando is that you get Leslie and Donna (the owners of the venue)! They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. From start to finish, they made the whole experience so easy. Rancho Mirando is hands down the best!!

ing and Leslie made me feel like we had been friends for a lifetime. My husband (then fiancé) and I spent 2 hours just talking about our vision and touring this amazing venue. We even missed our next appointment b/c we didn't want to leave! We ended up booking that day and chose April 4, 2015 as our date. What I loved about Rancho Mirando were all the options- they have TWO outside ceremony sites, a gorgeous pavilion for the reception and a tent lit by chandeliers and tea lights which was perfect for a rehearsal dinner. You are able to rent the ENTIRE venue for the ENTIRE weekend. On top of that, you stay in "La Hacienda" and are able to have family or bridal party stay with you there. Leslie and Donna have seriously thought of EVERYTHING! Rancho Mirando is beautiful, romantic and one-of-a-kind...I PROMISE there is nothing else like it. Having Leslie as my coordinator made the planning much easier! She made it easy to stay organized and offered such valuable suggestions. One thing I miss most is being able to talk to her on a regular basis! They honestly make you feel like part of the family. I will never forget all that Leslie and Donna did to make my "big day" so perfect. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous and Rancho Mirando played such a big role in making the experience more than we could have imagined. Rancho Mirando will always hold a special place in my heart and we can't wait to go back and stay for our anniversary. YOU MUST see for yourself- you will fall in LOVE!!!

Devil's Backbone. I now host my families in the house I remodeled and decorated for my late husband and I . I hand picked furniture and decor from all over the world and had a scenic painter from the Dallas Summer Musicals live on the property for a year to do the amazing hand plastering and faux finishes to look like a interior Mexico centuries old villa. I had all my family from Thursday until Sunday at the Hacienda. After my experience as a RM bride we added an extra day to our exclusive package. We have only one wedding a week and totally focus all our love and energy on the couple. My now husband, The 7 time AIA award winning Austin architect Mark Canada designed the reception pavilion and spent a year building Bella Vista Ceremony site for our wedding. There are 25 mile long views of Devil's Backbone and walking the beautifully designed arbor 130 feet along with everyone I love in the world took my breath away . Mark spent weeks welding the woven steel planters and bar in the Beer Garden for another spectacular view of the sunset. Dancing the night away with all the doors and alter arch open was absolutely the best party of our lives . Seventy two hours of heaven at Rancho Mirando with everyone you love best in the world. memories of a lifetime... even at 62!!!

ess that goes along with wedding logistics, and provides peaceful morning views as you get ready on your big day and beautiful sunsets as your say goodnight to loved ones. Also, Leslie will make sure you have a wonderful weekend. She was so professional, personable, organized and creative. Though she was hired as our day-of-coordinator she answered our endless number of emails and helped more with planning than your average day-of-coordinator. This was much appreciated since we were out-of-state. Donna, was also such a pleasure to work with. She made the rental process easy and created the most beautiful bouquets and floral centerpieces. I cannot thank them enough for helping us create a fairytale wedding that everyone is still raving about, and being able to have both families stay in the house brought everyone closer together.

ime of our lives and I am so happy and thankful that I was able to have the wedding of my dreams here!

w much fun our wedding was, how beautiful the property was, and how it was one of the best they have ever been to. I highly recommend this venue! Book in advance so you can have this dream location for your wedding too.

make a special day amazing and worry free then you have found the right place.

hearsal dinner, bridal brunch, wedding, reception and the farewell brunch at Rancho Mirando. All the events went perfectly and were absolutely beautiful! My family was blown away by the constant dedication that was displayed all weekend. The staff at Rancho Mirando are on point and willing to change any last minute details at the drop of a hat. We fell in love with Leslie and Donna and after all the long hours that went into planning such a spectatuclar event, we are honored to call them family. The views are breath taking, the hacienda is unique and gorgeous, and the ceremony site and reception hall are magical. If you are looking for a wedding with hill country charm and southern hospitality then this is it. We could not have been more impressed with the way things are run and how loving and truly genuine Donna and Leslie are as people. Thank you for making my sister's wedding weekend the most magical experience of her life!

ranch, which you have the entire weekend you will have them by your side the entire time to help you plan and to keep you sane. Your wedding day itself will be perfect, Leslie goes above and beyond. This is the place to get married, please don’t bother looking anywhere else!

firepits for s'mores, this place really has it all! The best part is that you have the venue all weekend and you can stay on property, which was great for us since we did our own decor! What really made us choose Rancho Mirando though was the hospitality that Leslie and Donna showed us! They were so detailed and had such great suggestions! I use to work in the wedding industry and venue owners are never involved like they are! What a blessing to have their help!! We planned our wedding in three and a half months which was quite stressful, but I knew we were in good hands with Leslie! I was so discouraged to see rain in the forecast for our wedding weekend, but Leslie was there to make the necessary changes and reassure me that everything would be great! She was right, the rain cleared minutes before the wedding and everything was perfect! I even got my cool "Fall" like wedding! Our family and friends are still telling us how much they loved the ranch! Thank you Rancho Mirando for an incredible wedding!

perfect because it was in good hands. These ladies directed me with calm and professional guidance that never felt pushy or impersonal. The entire property is nothing short of breathtaking; it's perfect for any size wedding and will impress everyone. The entire staff is extremely welcoming and efficient, eager to help with anything. I couldn't believe how many of the small details are already considered, even before I realized I needed something. There isn't a thing you will need that isn't available quickly with a smile. My daughter's whole wedding experience could not have been any more perfect. I would recommend Rancho Mirando to anyone having a Hill Country wedding.

All of my guest felt welcomed and were amazed by the beauty. I fell in love with the ranch, making every excuse to visit while planning our wedding. The girls also work so hard to make sure you have everything you have ever dreamed of. Starting out, I had do idea what I wanted our wedding to look like I just knew I wanted to get married there, then Donna took my style and came up with beautiful designs that reflected our personality perfectly. Then Leslie made the day flow all together. It is a wonderful venue you get so much more than just a place to have your wedding. My guests were so blown away and we will be sure to return to the ranch for our future events. Rancho Mirando has become our special place, so much more than a wedding venue. I can not rave enough about it.

the Hill Country choose Rancho Mirando. You will not regret it. I still can't believe how beautiful everything went and turned out. Use Donna for your florist and rentals! She took my vision and made it real even though I really never could make a true decision on the flowers. She did exactly what I wanted!! I never thought I would say this because I do not enjoy planning social events or parties in anyway but I wish I could do it all over again because Leslie and Donna made it fun! I am still so excited about how beautiful my wedding day went and the rehearsal dinner was AMAZING!! I could go on and on and on!!!

who worked harder on my wedding them or me. They have made a friend for life and I miss them every day since my wedding. The venue itself gives you extra ordinary flexibility and value for all you get; you must at least drive out there and meet them. They were also extremely good getting back to us, often within minutes. You have the house for a 3 day weekend with enough space for 14 people in an elegant brightly colored house with lively Spanish architecture and colors. The property is very impressive with multiple locations for the wedding, cocktails, and reception. I had our wedding at the wall, cocktails at the tent, and the reception at their beautiful reception hall. They make a great team and they helped make the rental & florals for our wedding painless for us. They made our yellow & orange color theme possible for a bright wedding full of life and more beautiful than I could imagine. I was thought I would only get a festive wedding but they were able to turn it into my dream wedding. The guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was. While other venues only sell you a time slot they are completely committed to making your wedding a success. Examples: Donna jumped on board making small painted potted trees for each of the 120 guests with a massive amount of manual effort including their table numbers and names with very little time to do it; the night before the rehearsal dinner Leslie insisted I let her track down a garter and dye it orange so I could get a good night’s sleep. They made us feel like an extended part of their family and made our wedding the best it could be despite our wedding coordinator (Alisha Anderson, separate review). They cared as much about the wedding as us. I love Rancho Mirando.

r! Donna did our rentals and flowers for the wedding - she did an amazing job!! Leslie was more of my go to questions and logistics. They both were so helpful throughout the planning process and the wedding itself. Alicia, the in house coordinator for day of only also did a great job! I would highly recommend this place and wouldn't change a thing about my experience!

rything we could ever ask (and many things we never asked) to make our day perfect. She is one of the most genuine people we have ever met and could not thank her enough. The venue is gorgeous and the rentals are very high quality and fairly priced. Alisha Anderson worked as our in house coordinator and did a great job on the day of to make everything run very smooth. We did not worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Having the lodging and venue for the entire weekend takes away so much stress and allows for a very personal experience! Rancho Mirando is stunning and we absolute recommend this venue to anyone! This is the perfect venue for the wedding of your dreams!! We still have guests commenting on how unique and beautiful it is!

the first time, we instantly knew that Rancho Mirando was where we wanted to get married. The views of the Texas Hill Country are by far the most beautiful and the house was able to accommodate both of our families, which ended up being our wedding gift to our parents. I pride myself on being a pretty easy going person but the idea of planning an out of town wedding with a guest list of 150+, I began to stress out. Luckily, Leslie saw my vision and helped with the tiny details that I never even thought about. Her vendor recommendations were top notch while also staying in our budget. The day of the wedding came and I woke up feeling at ease without the least bit of anxiety. I even took a nap I was so calm! The Ranch was full of warmth from the beautiful Texas sunset that overlooked our ceremony. The reception hall was filled with cool air from the open (and shut if you want) floor to ceiling windows. We had the most amazing wedding that we still have friends and family talk about how stunning our venue was and how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. I can really only give credit to Leslie, Donna and El Rancho who took my Texas Hill Country dream and brought it to life. I cannot express how special they and the Ranch are and I promise that you will too if picking Rancho Mirando as your venue.
