Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch

around. If you're worried about Covid, this is a great venue to reduce the spread because everyone can spread out. Donna, the property owner, was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She also did all our flowers and they were gorgeous. The extra touch of having flowers grown on the property in my bouquets made it all extra special. The deck house where the groom and groomsmen got ready was spacious and perfect dudes hang out. The Hacienda where my bridesmaids and I got ready was cozy, comfortable, and had amazing view of the hill country. Donna is so talented and made the experience so special for me. Could not have asked for a more beautiful venue.

iews of the hill country. Stunning views. Working with Donna is a dream. She is so accommodating and pleasant to work with. and she designs the wedding florals and grows some of the flowers she uses in bouquets and other florals. The getting ready houses and the pavilion are just perfect. She and her husband have designed and brought to life the perfect wedding venue. There are several locations on the property for the ceremony, first look, engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and you can even rent the venue for the entire weekend. I promise you that if you choose Rancho Mirando you will have a one of a kind experience and a very special wedding and reception.

Olive trees, lavender fields and vineyards leaned towards a Tuscan feel. The Reception Hall is nestled by trees which provided a wonderful view of the sunset for evening pictures.

ason and they were everywhere! Parking was easy. Memories for a lifetime.

ue for all I could have ever dreamed of. <3

e hacienda for the bridal party was also truly incredible, and the staff made everything so easy! Such a magical place that provides that provides the perfect intimate setting for a wedding memories that will last a lifetime!

cienda to the Bella Vista and to the Pavilion, there is so much to enjoy. And working with Donna was the most pleasant experience I could have asked for. She provided so much care, insight, and excitement through out all the planning, which alleviated so much stress and doubt. From day we met her until the day after our wedding day, she wanted nothing but the best for us. I truly felt she was a part of our wedding. After the wedding, we left saddened we wouldn't be returning to walk the property and plan with Donna. Also, her floral arrangements were absolutely stunning. We continue to get compliments to this day. Rancho Mirando is an absolutely stunning venue and I can't recommend it enough for any couple that is looking for an outdoor venue and a caring friend to help bring their wedding day to life.

ly still asking us to share more about the venue, how perfect it was and how much they loved the floral arrangements (handmade by Donna and some grown right on the property). Rancho Mirando was the only wedding venue we toured and we knew from the day we met Donna that this was the one. She is extremely welcoming, makes you feel like family, is passionate about what she does, and played a huge role in our venue selection. Her genuine excitement for your wedding is infectious and lightens up the planning process! From her handmade plates to her beautiful floral arrangements, she takes into account every detail, is by your side and is super communicative along the way to help with any questions. The venue itself is breathtaking. With large open spaces, lovely foliage and many areas to host guests, we knew this was a perfect match for our outdoor wedding. The indoor/outdoor pavilion is also beautiful without any decor and comfortably fits guests! Additionally, the Hacienda, where the bride, groom and wedding party stay is such a nice secluded retreat. You have everything you need here and each room is so unique and comfortable - we were sad to leave! We loved working with Donna and everything about how our wedding turned out! I HIGHLY recommend Rancho Mirando to any couples looking for a stunning outdoor wedding venue in Hill Country with amazing company along the way.

d sizes, outdoor/open air sites, beautiful Hill Country scenery, and proximity to lodging for guests. Rancho Mirando delivered all this and so much more. We utilized every space that Rancho Mirando had to offer, and really felt that having so many spaces provided a new experience with each event. The weather during our wedding weekend was perfect Hill Country fall, but even had things not gone to plan we felt confident in our rain plans with the tent and pavilion on site. We loved working with Donna and Mark; they have become family friends! Their artistry and personalities are poured into the property and really bring Rancho Mirando to life.

bout how beautiful it is: wonderful views, wildflowers even in May after the February freeze. More than that, though, Donna and the rest of the Rancho Mirando team really cared about us and took care of us as people as opposed to "customers." I lost count of the number of times we rescheduled our wedding, but Rancho Mirando made every effort to accommodate us. Every part of the property is beautiful and well suited for events, so just book it for the whole weekend and have every event (rehearsal dinner, brunch, etc.) there. Can't recommend this beautiful place and its beautiful people enough!

. She goes above and beyond to make your dreams come to reality. The property is breath taking. We had the best weekend EVER, and our guest could not stop talking about how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

ing turned out. We knew we wanted an outdoor wedding with a touch of elegance and toured many facilities in the Wimberly area. All were very nice but each time we would walk away and say “sure, that would work”, but none left us with that “Wow Factor”…until we toured Ranch Mirando. When Donna took us up to the wedding site and we saw the view, it left us speechless. For the first time, I could picture myself walking through the greenery filled archway and beginning our new adventure in front of our family and friends. We knew at that moment our search for a wedding venue was over, we had found our perfect spot. Everything we saw, from the wedding site, to the beer garden, to the reception hall, you could tell just how much care, thought, and attention to detail went into creating this magical setting. As I am sure all brides do, I had a vision for what I wanted. For me, I wanted simple elegance, but truthfully could not have told you what that actually looked like – I was all over the place. As I struggled to articulate the vision, Donna was able to take all of my visions (they changed all the time) and see the underlying trends…and lets be honest, this is an overwhelming process and I could not be more thankful to have her guidance and advice. Especially when it came to the florals. When asked what kind of flowers we wanted, my response was pretty ones. I knew nothing about all the different flowers, I could only say with certainty which ones I didn’t want. And as I shared with Donna the various pictures of flowers from arrangements to bouquets, she could see what I was drawn too…and OMG….the flowers were incredible and left me speechless (wish I could post some pics just to show how awesome they were). And as an added bonus, she added some sprigs of mint. Since mint can be grown from a cutting, I now have a lasting and growing part of the wedding in my garden. It always makes me smile when I see it. The wedding turned out amazing. There are so many moving parts that are happening on the day, but the team makes it look all so effortless and everything just ran so smoothly. The team at Rancho Mirando are true artists and transformed the venue into my perfect day. Everything was just so beautifully arranged, from the table settings, to the flowers, the candles, all of it was just amazing. I can not thank Rancho Mirando enough and the staff for a day that was nothing short of perfect! If you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further than Rancho Mirando, you will not be disappointed. We highly recommend this venue!

ght out of my mouth. Seriously, look no further if you want the most amazing and magical wedding EVER; this venue is breathtakingly gorgeous, every event runs as smooth as freshly churned butter, and there is nothing that Leslie and her team can’t turn into gold. My husband and I had an absolutely magical, care-free, RELAXING, and amazing wedding weekend and it was without a doubt due to the single most important decision we made throughout the entire planning process, which was to have our wedding at Rancho Mirando. This level of sheer wedding perfection comes from over a decade of experience and the proof is in the pudding. The vision of our dream wedding came to life because of Leslie, Donna, their staff, and the inexplicable magic of Rancho Mirando. Leslie had not only a plan A and B, but a plan C and X, Y, & Z for each hurdle, big or small. As a bride you put so much trust into your venue to carry out a perfect day that you’ve been mapping out since you got engaged or for most, since you were a little girl. I put all of my trust into Rancho Mirando and what came true was a fairy tale that I couldn’t have dreamt of myself. Leslie and her team brought all of my visions to life, each event was coordinated to perfection as Leslie and her staff worked magic behind the scenes and made everything so effortless so that my husband and I could relax and focus on what truly mattered that weekend. My husband, myself, and all of our guests were all completely BLOWN away by the magic that is Rancho Mirando. THIS VENUE IS SO FREAKING AMAZING.

king. The comfort of the hacienda is like being at your own home, the florals by Dona were gorgeous. Again, it was a beautiful and perfect wedding day!

We could not be happier with the way everything went.

You feel as if you are stepping into another world in this charming hill country setting overlooking the canyon. Beyond the physical beauty of the property, Leslie, Donna, & Mark make you feel as if they are marrying off one of their own family members. They are as much a part of your big day as your family and friends are! They truly provide you with the best one-on-one attention and make sure that every specification is met to complete your big day, AND THEN SOME! I loved every idea and suggestion they had from floral arrangements, to reception hall decorations, to day of preparation. I never once had to stress about my day, and during the morning of getting ready I knew that Leslie had everything taken care of. I would get married here 1,000x over and loved every minute of our PERFECT wedding!

and foliage everywhere and a reception hall that was beyond perfect, all combined for a wedding that friends are still talking about six months later. Donna and Leslie did not overlook a detail and allowed us to completely unwind and enjoy our guests. I cannot recommend Rancho more for your wedding or special event. It is quite simply superb.

will never be able to put into words how grateful I will forever be to both Donna and Leslie and the entire Rancho Mirando staff. To say our wedding was absolutely perfect would be a gross understatement - and that is 100% thanks to Rancho Mirando (including Donna and Leslie). Our wedding weekend was the best weekend of our lives and we will treasure the memories we made for the rest of our lives. It truly was perfect in every way, largely BECAUSE we had the wedding at Rancho Mirando. When I was looking for a venue one of the most important things I was adamant about was that I wanted a RELAXING, happy, and worry-free wedding weekend. Being able to stay on property all weekend with our wedding party was the best decision we ever made - and I can honestly say the weekend was truly relaxing and ABSOLUTELY worry-free (which is not something most married people I know can say). Having the rehearsal dinner and everything else on-site allowed us to just relax and absorb every second we could of the weekend. There was no worry about travel logistics, or missing people, or miscommunication - EVERYTHING was flawlessly seamless. Not only were my husband and I able to fully enjoy the weekend and each other - I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that EVERYONE who attended the wedding said it was the most FUN and beautiful wedding they'd ever been too, including their own. Rancho Mirando provides the most incredible, eclectic, beautiful backdrop for however you imagine your wedding will be - even if you don't know what that looks like! On that note specifically, the flowers at my wedding were one of the most important things for me... even though I had no idea what I wanted. With a few conversations and pinterest boards Donna was able to created the floral pieces of my dreams. And decor. And mood. And plateware/linens/candelabras/everything. I would spend every penny 3 times over on Rancho again and again for the rest of forever because our entire wedding weekend was absolutely PERFECT and a memory we will treasure forever. Trust me - you will NOT regret it.

cho Mirando was the perfect place to do that. We hosted a long weekend in the Hill Country and Leslie and Donna were instrumental in making all of our plans come to life. The pair helped us from start to finish with anything we could possibly need (and many things we had not thought of on our own). It was comforting to know that Leslie and Donna were on our team and making all of the behind-the-scenes things run smoothly. I got to spend my wedding weekend completely at ease about the wedding itself. No stress here! We hosted our wedding party in the Hacienda and the whole weekend will always be one of my favorite memories. We got to relax and enjoy that special time when all of our favorite people from all over the country were together - something that is unlikely to ever happen again. Having the Hacienda for the weekend was a huge plus for us and I am so happy we had that space to gather with our friends and family. During and after the wedding weekend, I had so many people tell me how fun and beautiful the wedding was at Rancho. Our guests were stunned by the beauty of the place and thoroughly enjoyed the wedding. I would book our wedding with Rancho Mirando again in a heartbeat!

ere fabulous. Lesli was always one step ahead of us in the planning process and the events. Donna did a gorgeous job on the florals. Thank you, thank you!!

weekend run smooth. They helped with absolutely EVERYTHING. Our guests were amazed by the wedding venue as well as the service provided throughout the night. Not to mention, the beautiful views from the reception site, incredible amenities, and great landscape throughout the ranch. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. We truly had the wedding of our dreams!!

venue because I wanted a place I could get away to for the entire weekend. Most venues allow for 10 or so hours the day OF your wedding for set up and settling, but I wanted to truly make a space our home for the weekend and bring my family along to stay. Rancho Mirando offers an incredible house on the proper that sleeps up to 16 people with absolutely breathtaking views. All of the floral arrangements are done in-house and mostly grown on the property. There are endless options in terms of photos opportunities, locations for the ceremony AND rehearsal dinner, and rentals all included in the package. Overall, everything was made so easy have one vendor for so many things on the list. I loved working with Leslie and Donna. They are some of the nicest and most genuine people in this business, which was such a breath of fresh air. They made everything smooth and timely so I always felt supported and taken care of. My family and guests were completely blown away when stepping onto the property each and every time, discovering every nook and cranny, which made me feel so fulfilled and my choices validated. The photos turned out beyond anything I could have ever imagined, and when I run into guests I still hear them say that my wedding was one of the MOST beautiful weddings they have ever been to, and truly that credit goes back to the Ranch and the family who owns it. They are beautiful, the property is beautiful and therefore weddings will only absorb that beauty and elegance for your guests to enjoy and project that back onto you. Trust me, you will not regret your choice for a second. Just take a tour. See for yourself.

pposite feel of any of the "wedding factories" that are growing increasingly popular. This venue actually is more cost effective than many of the venues where you get just 10 hours to blow through your wedding. Donna runs the ranch and is so personable and helpful, and the venue includes an amazing Casita that sleeps 16 people for Friday AND Saturday night, all included in the price of the venue (and with an option to book an extra night if you'd like for just a little extra- we did!). We truly enjoyed our 3 day weekend wedding, as we had ample time to soak in the most important weekend of our lives. The venue truly feels like a ranch, with the most beautiful scenery you can find in Austin, at a price that ends up being more economical than other venues boast on their sticker price. Cannot recommend this venue strongly enough- go check it out.

e pieces of plates and pottery, but her desire to make Rancho everything that a wedding venue should be. The venue comes with a guest house that is large enough to fit the wedding party or immediate family, with a direct view of the rolling hills and sunsets. There are multiple "sub-venue" options for the reception, cocktail hour, ceremony, and morning after brunch. A permanent rain tent wards off any evil rain spirits. We knew we had found our venue the moment we arrived.

e of two amazingly beautiful days, but still the scenery was amazing for the pictures. The hair was blown, but that could happen in any outside venue. The scenery made the photography pop out more beautiful than any other venue I could think of. Even with the cold, the guests 2 months later continue to say that it was the best wedding they have been to in years, and maybe ever. Leslie and her helpers bent over backwards to supply all the needs of the guests, no matter who they were. They do not get paid enough for what they do, but you can tell they do it out of pure joy of making the best wedding memories that a person could possibly have

nothing rivaled the natural beauty of Rancho Mirando— it is truly a special place. Leslie and Donna made us feel like family from the beginning and were there for us throughout our entire 14 months of planning as well as during our weekend stay at the ranch. All of our guests were in awe of the scenery and had an amazing time. Leslie and Donna, you truly created magic and happiness and will always have a special place in our hearts for making our time at Rancho Mirando so memorable. We will cherish our time there and both of you always!

We had an October wedding at the Ranch , and we rented the place for 4 days . My wife and I couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect place to get married and I’m so thankful to Donna and Leslie (owners) for all their hard work . Please check this place out and book early , we are really glad we did . Thanks for everything !

n to make our day absolutely special! We were so fortunate to come across this venue when thumbing through wedding magazines. We visited multiple venues, but Rancho Mirando rivaled them all. Everything about this venue is perfect! The Hacienda is beautifully furnished and sleeps 16 people comfortably. You feel like the ranch is your home away from home for your wedding week or weekend. The grounds are stunning and create a nice background for lovely pictures. Everything about it will take your breath away! However, the owners, Donna and Leslie, are absolutely amazing! They are experts at helping you plan your wedding and do not miss one detail! They ensure that your special day occurs smoothly, without you having to worry about anything. Leslie makes things happen in a fashion that appears effortless, but it is quite evident that she is working diligently behind the scenes. Donna is also extremely talented and makes beautiful floral arrangements. They are very friendly, professional, caring, genuine women whom we are now blessed to call our friends. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and turned out to be more incredible than we had ever dreamed of it being. This venue is very special, and we are so happy that we were able to experience it and share it with our friends and family.

ing how on point every aspect of the planning and venue were, but sadly I'm limited to 3500 characters so here are the highlights: Venue - Rancho's location is amazing. My wife and I were searching for a property in the hill country and our expectations were exceed 10 fold. The vista offered from the Hacienda and ceremony site are breath taking. It was a picture perfect backdrop for our vows. Our wedding photos and my wife's bridals are spectacular. From the architecture of the hacienda and it's unique furnishings, to the lavender fields, and of course the vista.....wow! Also, you get use of the Hacienda for the weekend. A great feature for logistics and such a benefit to have your family/bridal party at one location from rehearsal through departure. On to Donna and Leslie. Love them! From our first appointment to discuss Rancho and its offerings, we were welcomed with open arms. They were attentive from that appointment and remained that way throughout. Always patient and willing to offer suggestions to help with our vision, the budget and maintaining a realistic wedding day timeline. Donna is a botany magician. Her flowers were amazing! I'm not big on florals, but wow, they were stunning! Leslie is a rockstar!! I couldn't have asked for a better planner. She had every detail dialed in for the entire weekend and ensured that Monica and I had the perfect day we had hoped for. She kept us focused without being a nag. We went in expecting professionalism. Not only did we get the absolute best - we got life long friends as well! This is not to diminish the supporting staff at Rancho. All were super professional and made all the little things come together without you ever knowing they were there. My thanks to you all. Overall, perfect. If you're searching for a property that has stunning views and staff that are a 11 out of 10 - look no further. We didn't sign up for Rancho to get rave reviews from our guests - we did so because of the connection we felt on our very first visit. However, the majority of our guest have commented that this was "simply the best ".

if the brides vision for the wedding weekend was just as important to Leslie and the staff as they were for the family. The attention to detail was perfection. The melding together of the wedding vision and the budget was made possible because of Leslies knowledge and years of experience. Her support during this process was invaluable. In any review I try to be honest and clear about any problems that we might have run across so that others can have insight and address any issues . I can say, with complete confidence if you choose Rancho Mirando as your venue you are in very capable hands to have the wedding of your dreams. We certain did.

Mirando was kind and courteous and always made sure we (the bride and groom) were taken care of. The hacienda was the absolute perfect bonding experience for the entire bridal party and made for a wonderful place to get ready. I couldn’t have dreamed for a better ceremony site or a more perfect reception venue. It was great to have everything we needed all in one place. Thank you Rancho Mirando for making our wedding something from a fairytale! 💞

he service that Leslie and Donna provide, I couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. Donna put together my picture perfect floral arrangements, which I absolutely loved! Having Leslie as our wedding planner made everything as stress free as possible, as she will go above and beyond to make sure you get everything you’ve dreamed of for your wedding. She really takes the time to listen and understand your vision. Leslie also has amazing assistants who help keep things running smoothly on wedding day, and all have very positive and comforting personalities. Leslie and team really provided the kind of energy I needed around me that weekend, as my husband and I started one of the biggest journeys of our lives. Our friends haven’t stopped raving about the wedding as well. You could tell the whole night that everyone was having a genuinely amazing time. The fact that you get the venue for the whole weekend, makes for an even better and stress free time with the wedding party and family. There’s a lot of things to do on the venue and made for a wonderful rehearsal dinner as well. Even in the pouring rain, our rehearsal dinner was still warm and cozy and set the tone for our wedding the next night. My husband and I have not stopped reminiscing about our wedding day throughout our honeymoon. We really couldn’t have dreamt of a better day! And we have Rancho Mirando/Leslie to thank for that.

erty. All the arrangement functioned faultlessly and we found your staff courteous, welcoming and responsive. We had the most wonderful day on Saturday. All our guests without exception were full of compliments from start to finish. Can I firstly thank you for all your help during the buildup to the day and on the day itself. Leslie for her professionalism, and help provided to my daughter throughout the whole process. Please accept our very grateful thanks.

ge review, but I’ll try to keep it simple. The amenities—YES!! The hacienda offered an eccentric, yet cozy place for our friends and family to laugh and love together. The lighting and the photos while everyone was getting ready are timeless. We chose the wedding site with the overlook and it could not have been more perfect, seriously! Our guests raved about the beer garden/bathrooms that were used during cocktail hour. The reception hall was designed in a Texas State of Mind- dinner, booze, and all the dance moves! Most importantly were the people running the show. We were greeted with arms wide open! Leslie is top notch. She spent countless hours listening to our wants and needs. If there were any hiccups on our wedding day, we were not aware. Overall, Leslie and her team made us feel like family. We have talked about the wedding every single day for the last month. All of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and I have to agree with them.

ared the best wedding ever. Our family and friends from Scotland agreed that the sunset lawn service overlooking the hills, complete with kilted bagpiper, recreated the romantic Scottish Highlands for the special day. The pictures don't lie! Thank you to Rancho Mirando for all of your hard work and leaving us with such great memories.

ng weekend far exceeded what we could've ever expected or imagined. From the first phone call to Mrs. Donna and Leslie when we were picking our venue, then touring the venue and being speechless at the views and reception area, to developing a relationship over the next nine months that would create a lasting bond. I love talking to our guest and hearing them tell us, "this was truly the best most beautiful wedding I've ever been to." We were able to begin our long weekend on Thursday night just the three of us, us and our daughter, before the chaos, family, and friends would arrive on Friday. That was so special to our family to have this gorgeous home to relax in and the amazing view to wake up to as we were beginning our next chapter. We never left the ranch from Thursday to Sunday and someone made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Leslie and her crew were able to bring every detail of my vision to life from the rehearsal dinner to the reception. I wish I could do this day over and over again, and not change one thing!

of the staff, the organization and of course the expertise of Leslie. They have fantastic memories to see them into married life – thanks for your part in their special day.
