South Wind Ranch

r a more beautiful day! 💍🤍

azing! I definitely would recommend her she is great at what she does!

dream big. She helped us step out of the ballpark and create a wedding full of galaxy colors, Disney, and encouraged our dreams to go the extra mile. She helped us find a laser light show, in order to fulfill my husband's dreams. Jessica is so sweet, excited about making your dreams come true, and will share her love as long as you're willing to give her the chance. We, the Greeleys, absolutely loved working with her.

. Ashley was hands down the best wedding coordinator ever!! She made wedding planning a breeze and was quick to respond to all questions/concerns. On wedding day, she made things easy while making sure everything was running smoothly! We laughed a lot together and checked the Volunteers score! The ranch itself, is a true beauty. Every inch and every aspect of the ranch was just perfect! You can tell that a lot of thought and design was put into all parts. The bridal suite provided the perfect place to finish getting ready for the day. The ceremony area overlooking the pond at sunset was exactly what I had envisioned. The reception barn/patio had such modern amenities while still having the rustic look. The cigar lounge was the perfect touch for my fiancé.

r we stopped by, and even came to thank us on our big day! His son Josh and his staff handled our alcohol package and took amazing care of our guests. We had a guest who had many allergies and they made sure he knew his options. Another HUGE shoutout goes to my fabulous florist, Jessica Nepsha. I am blown away by not only the beautiful flowers she provided, but her incredible work ethic. She made any and all small requests I had perfect. I strongly recommend her!!! And Hannah my wedding coordinator made sure everything was PERFECT so there was no stress the day of. Overall, THE VENUE AND SUPPORTING STAFF ARE ALL INCREDIBLE. Give them a chance for your big day, you won’t regret it!

rdinator was awesome I could not have asked for someone better. She made sure everything was set up the way I wanted and that everything was done correctly. She handled everything on our wedding so that I didn’t have to worry about any of it! The owner was great, he was there to help drive people around and make sure everything went smoothly. He was so much fun to work with and runs a very efficient, amazing venue. They include so much if you book this venue and they have some different packages depending on what you want. They go above and beyond for each couple or group that books with them. Would 10/10 recommend using South Wind Ranch as a venue for your wedding or event!

SWR team enough.

ible and rainy weather - and that was all made possible by Ashley and the SWR team. Like any bride, nobody wants to even consider that there could be rain on their wedding day. As our day got closer and closer, we realized that the threat of rain wasn't going to just be a threat, but a very disappointing reality. I was devestated because I had always dreamed of getting married outside; however, Ashley made Plan B look like it should have been Plan A the entire time. She was there for me the entire week of the wedding (and way before that!), being a constant source of comfort and assured me that even if we had to move to the rain plan, that it was going to be beautiful. She was absolutely right. She and her team transformed the barn into a winter wonderland for our ceremony and reception, and even went so far as to change the layout for our ceremony hours before so we could open the doors up and still get a sense of being outside. After walking down the aisle, Ashley and her team opened the barn door right as I took my place next to my husband and I had multiple guests tell me that it looked like a fairy tale with the doors magically opening! Ron (the owner of the ranch who is one of the most fun people you'll ever meet!) even drove me and my girls down to the ceremony space in his car so we wouldn't get wet - every small thing you could ever want or think of, SWR provides and does it before you can even ask. If you are looking for a place for your wedding, I cannot recommend SWR enough! I never thought I would get married in December (I always wanted a Fall wedding), but was changed my mind after visiting SWR. There were no Fall dates available at the time, and I was hesitant to get married in December - but I changed my entire plan/vision after visiting the ranch and I couldn't imagine my wedding being anywhere else or at any other time. The venue is gorgeous (even in the rain), the staff is top notch, and the amenities (including the bridal suite you can stay at the night of your wedding or the night before as well if you do the weekend package) are second to none. You will not regret having SWR host your special day - thank you SWR for making all of my wedding dreams come true! You guys are simply the best.

y and Ron are not only FUN to work with but extraordinary at what they do. I had help with everything I needed, and was barely ever stressed. It is such a beautiful venue and to top it all of……my guests were telling us it was the BEST wedding they’ve been to all year. I can go on and on but trust me, TAKE THE TOUR. Go see for yourself and fall in love like we did. I have zero regrets and it really was the BEST DAY EVER.

f and owner made the process extremely easy, not to mention that it's a BEAUTIFUL venue. We had so many compliments on the big day.

Wind Ranch!

om and I felt like royalty, and they made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of. The bridal suite is such a special touch to the venue. We got ready there, and it was very clean. They manage to clean and turn it over super quickly! Cons: I did opt to do a partial planning package through the venue, and while I found my planner to be incredibly kind, I think she may have taken on too much. She was head planner for 3 weddings that weekend, so she had a lot to juggle. She was not very responsive when I would reach out to ask her questions or make a request. It was common for me to have re-send a text or email after a week of no response. I know I paid for only partial planning, but I do feel like I did about 75% of the pre-wedding stuff on my own. Again, on the day of, she exceeded expectations and went above and beyond though!

ktail hour to the end of dancing. The bridal suite was clean and perfect to get ready and spend the night in. Great job in the facilities! One part we were not satisfied with was the wedding coordinating team. We signed the contract in February of 2020 so had full planning and coordination included in our contract. South Wind Ranch assigned us 4 different coordinators throughout our planning process because the previous 3 had quit or were fired. The last coordinator we were assigned was a week before the wedding and was not responsive or answer our questions. The head of coordination said she would be there day of and was no where to be seen. On wedding day, my family and I showed up to the venue at 1pm and it was a mess. There were desserts from the previous night all over outside with ants in it, the cushions were soaked with water but left on the couches, trash cans were full, and a lot of debris / trash on the floor. We had to pick up all of that because now day of coordinator had to run out for ~2 hours to do an errand (3 hours before the event). Needless to say the prep for the event was extremely stressful with missing nametags (the groom and maid of honor) and a dirty venue. Meanwhile I had to go up and get ready and leave my parents scrambling to get the barn ready. Another coordinator was there but meeting with another couple the whole time. We were very disappointed with this and it caused us a lot of stress hours before the event. They were helpful during the event in terms of making sure we had the things we needed and having things organized at the end of the night to pack up the next morning, but the prep work left a lot to be desired. Thankfully we had a great DJ, Audiografs, who helped coordinate the reception and make sure everything was on time and flowing well. Also make sure to get everything in writing. We had issues with the linens being included but then the venue changed the service and they weren't willing to give us linens. Thankfully I found the email stating linens were provided and got that taken care of. One other thing I was the walkway to the barn. We had two guest fall (one on the bridge and one on the gravel). When we did our tour of the venue and in our contract, there was supposed to be a golf cart to transport guest to and from their cars and take us up the hill for pictures, but that was nowhere to be found. I didn't even have a golf cart from the bridal suite to the barn, so had to walk in heels and my dress down a very steep hill which was not the easiest. I also sent all this information the week after my reception to the owner and heard nothing back. If I would have heard anything back about the situation I would have given the venue better rating and review. Just wanted to let other couples know, communication was very poor. Despite the stress of the coordination and some logistics, I had a wonderful reception with friends and family.
