Redbud Ranch

The owner was extremely helpful. The property is absolutely beautiful and they just added lodging to their packaging. They have a beautiful chapel at a affordable rate. They have a List of exquisite caterers that you can choose from as well. If you’re considering this property definitely go out and check it out or just give her a phone call. When I first found this property I saw the other reviews and upon further investigation realized that they didn’t even use her services. If you were looking for a stress-free wedding I ask that you consider Redbud Ranch

Redbud Ranch is a unique venue. It is a large wooded property that was at one time a Girl Scout camp. The reception hall has been remodeled from those days and has a lovely bank of windows and a large kitchen facility and small outdoor patio. The chapel is recently built and absolutely beautiful. There are also 2 cabins ( one more of a bridal night cabin newly redecorated and the other more bunk style) and a larger newly built lodge building that can be rented for overnight stays . Rates for the reception hall were quite reasonable, although double if the chapel is rented as well. The selling factor for us was the extended hours, with rental taking us from 5pm Friday for rehearsal and setup through noon on Sunday so we could take our time with tear down. When we were researching for upcoming 2023 wedding, owner Hailey was responsive and helpful. We did end up choosing this venue. This venue was not yet listed on The Knot when we were initially looking about two months ago . I was very surprised then to be back on The Knot and finally see Redbud listed but with all one star reviews. Apparently an event held in early December 2022 allegedly exceeded occupancy and allegedly involved illegal drug use leading to an early ending of a Quinceanera party. It appears all negative reviews posted after this single December event either reviewing generically ( no detail indicating the writers knew much about the venue) or suggesting the owner as racist and afraid to be around Hispanics. Based on our interactions with Redbud, it appeared to us they had previously worked with people of many backgrounds and I can find no prior history of reported issues or negative reviews relating to race or anything else. According to news reports following the event, physical threats were made by some attendees in person at the event and later on social media, against the owner, her family and her staff . The resulting cancellation of a portion of the event appeared to be in response to those threats. The facts of that weekend will play out as will the history of the business. Sharing our experience so far for you here so you can make your decision based on your personal needs and experience and to offer our sincere view free of an agenda to either tear down or build up. I do not know the owner and cant say more than that she seemed accommodating and helpful and our event is later next year. We viewed other newer very nice facilities as well but the combination of Redbud’s uniqueness, reasonable pricing, and accommodating schedule sold us.

Would recommend looking ANYWHERE else first. It’s outdated and really hard to get ahold of the actual owner. Not worth the stress.

I DO NOT recommend this venue, please do your research.
