olute saint. I highly doubt our day would have been even close to as wonderful as it was without the people running the show here. Could not recommend highly enough. We loved Beth and the owners so much we were sad to be done with everything and not have an excuse to hang out anymore. Lol.
If you're even a LITTLE bit country, you'll love this place.

othly the venue is ran. Both owners and our day of coordinator made sure we had everything we needed and were the kindest people.
We could not recommend this venue and the Wedding Weekend experience enough. The Wedding Weekend package gave us plenty of time to decorate Friday, host a rehearsal dinner in a beautiful and heated barn, have a sleepover with the bridesmaids Friday night, get ready with plenty of space and amenities Saturday, have our incredible wedding loaded with golf carts to transport our grandparents to and from the ceremony site, spend the night after the wedding in a beautiful room, and then enjoy a slow Sunday morning as we gathered everything together. And, the views from any point of this property were incredible. We loved every minute of it!

getting ready areas, it was perfect. Beth, the wedding director, was such a crucial part of our special day. She made sure our rehearsal and wedding day ran smoothly, from start to finish. She was our personal cheerleader. She gave us pep talks, words of wisdom and brought so much excitement charisma to our day. The owners, Mick and Lisa are the sweetest people. Mick took us on a ride to the top of the hill for our sunset pictures, which provided us with the most beautiful photography. We couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing team at HPR. They truly have built something so special. The Hitching Post Ranch will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Beth, Mick and Lisa truly acted like they cared and wanted our big day to go off without a hitch, which it did. They fit right in with our family and friends.
The venue also provides a bartender which was amazing! He did such an amazing job and our guests loved that he was super friendly and knew our special menu.

We had my daughter's wedding at The Hitching Post Ranch last month, and I can't say enough about this special place! We chose the "Wedding Weekend", and so glad that we did! It was...
so nice to be there for the entire weekend, and have time to set up and spend time with family/friends. Everything about this place is beautiful! The pavilion was the perfect place for our casual rehearsal dinner. My daughter and her girls really enjoyed staying in the bunkhouse and the entire venue is absolutely breathtaking. The owners are wonderful people who helped with everything. A HUGE shoutout to Beth, our wedding coordinator. I am so grateful that we had her there. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were all taken care of. She especially made sure that my daughter & her husband were taken care of & had everything that they needed. She was constantly checking to see if we needed anything & ironed out a couple of bumps (oversights on my part, but Beth fixed everything!). We could not have done it without her! I would highly recommend checking out HPR for your wedding. It was everything that my daughter had hoped for & more for her special day!

Where to begin? We can’t say enough AMAZING things about The Hitching Post Ranch & the wonderful, passionate team behind it. Our true dream wedding took place here!!! We had guests...
from 10+ states attend/travel to be at our wedding, and we continuously heard over and over again just how beautiful the venue is; so many guests even told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended!!! This wouldn’t have been possible without the beauty/magic of the venue/surrounding nature, amenities that allowed for meaningful guests interaction/activity, and the absolute dream team of Beth (wedding coordinator) and Mick & Lisa (owners). Throughout the wedding planning year, Beth was an integral part who supported us in making our dream day come true with the upmost care, compassion, professionalism, and extremely thorough knowledge of the industry, timeline of the day, vendors, and day of decision making/coordination! Because of this, we were able to truly take in the wedding year & day without stress. The additional getting-ready-suites & spaces for rehearsal were SUCH an amazing amenity that we did not often see in other venues when choosing where our day would take place, and having the option for overnight lodging the night before & night of the wedding was such an amazing offer for us with so many traveling guests at the wedding & in the wedding party! I swear, there is so much magic, heart, & love embedded at this beautiful venue!! The tree lined pond, green hills, horses in the backdrop, pavilion & patio, real stone fireplace, golden hour, and getting to dance the night away within such sublime nature yet beautifully finished pavilion for a formal event, was something we will never forget and hold dear to us forever.
We could go on & on about all the ways HPR & its team are above and beyond; this place will forever and always hold such a special place in our hearts and for all of our loved ones. Having HPR as the backdrop for your wedding is truly a dream come true, and was everything we could have ever imagined!! If you want your guests to rave about experience, the team at the venue, the beauty, and the added amenities that truly center the couples wishes & guest experience, book HPR asap!! You will be so grateful, like us, that you did so. Thank you so much HPR, Beth, Mick, & Lisa, for making our dreams come true.

The owners, wedding planner, and staff were present at every turn, not only on the day of the wedding but throughout the entire planning.

From a father's perspective, I cannot express enough how HPR made everything so easy and perfect. Thank you!

The only words I can think of to describe this venue and their attentive staff is first class. The owners were extremely accommodating to any and all of our requests, to the point ...
where the only thing we had to do when we showed up for the big day was be there and have a great time. The wedding coordinator was thorough, thoughtful, and caring with anything and everything we threw her way. We truly could not have asked for a better experience when it comes to the magnificent people that surrounded us and they truly made our day perfect. Even with all of that being said, the most incredible aspect of this venue is the breathtaking scenery and incredible opportunity for memorable landscapes to capture for the rest of time. The property is riddled with the types of views that you dream of when you think of how your wedding day looks as a child. If you are looking for a venue that will make your big day special and memorable, you cannot go wrong with The Hitching Post Ranch.

Beth (the wedding planner) is the most organized and accommodating person you will ever meet. Some specialties included are wedding planners, bartenders, sunset photos, and parking attendants. There is a huge getting-ready space for the wedding party and lots of space to dance the night away. I would recommend the HPR to anyone. I received more compliments on the venue and staff than I could ever have imagined. You will not regret booking here!!

with an amazing outdoor country feel and gorgeous views for miles. Our day couldn't have been more perfect from the weather, view, and the amazing staff. This venue had so much to offer to make your day spectacular. Everyone's focused on helping out any way they can to ensure everything does as planned. Mick and Lisa treated us like family and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Beth helped ensure the day was stress free with her amazing organization skills and her fun personality. I was stress free due to Beth having a well planned timeline of events and communication with all vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. The staff checked in several times throughout the day and even had amenity baskets in case we forgot something we might need. We really enjoyed the horses and the guests loved getting to take pictures with them. Sunset pictures overlooking the prairie was one of our top highlights of the night and we were able to get gorgeous pictures. This venue also has a bunk house where the bridal party can stay the night before the wedding and a bride and groom suit for overnight stay the night of the wedding. They truly thought of everything. Thank you so much Lisa, Mick and Beth for everything you do. You all made sure we had the best day ever!

Our wedding was May 13, 2023, and many of our wedding guests, complimented how beautiful the venue was including the ceremony site and the reception barn. I will always suggest the Hitching Post Ranch as a place to get married, as it truly did make our wedding day the best day ever.

They’re just all of us enjoying the space ❤️. Pictures can’t even do justice to the beauty and love.

xecuting our wedding even from out of state as smooth as we could have ever hoped. Love, love, love HPR.
The long answer of why we loved it here:
The owners, Mick and Lisa, along with the wedding coordinator, Beth, were there every step of the way to help make our wedding dreams come true! The ceremony area is incredibly beautiful with the large pond and rolling hills in the background which made for absolutely incredible photos. The reception area was also beautiful, big, and versatile! I also 100% recommend booking the whole wedding weekend as it made everything SO easy and so much less stressful. I was planning my wedding from out of state, so being able to stay on site all weekend, have all our events in the same place, and not be worried about rushing for setting up made the final execution a million times easier when I finally arrived back in Ohio the week of our wedding. We had the rehearsal there Friday, the bridal party stayed in the bunkhouse Friday night, got ready in the beautiful bunkhouse Saturday morning, and then my new husband and I stayed in the honeymoon sweet Saturday night. It made everything SO easy. And not to mention the honeymoon sweet is dreamy and wonderful and they even have breakfast for you in the morning as well. It even absolutely poured down raining during our ceremony but they ran everything so smoothly we had no problem moving inside and making things perfect. And the indoor area plus covered dance floor made it perfect even in the rain! Being able to bring in your own alcohol for your signature cocktails is also such a bonus if you're looking to save a little money on vendor prices. If you are looking for the outdoorsy wedding of your dreams, look no further. Love you HPR, thanks for making our wedding the most incredible weekend we could asked for!

Our daughter was married at HPR last season. The attention to detail and beauty of the property were outstanding.
The team was available and helpful to not only the wedding part...
y, but the guest, and caterers as well.
Prior to the wedding the coordinator, Beth, was knowledgable and guided us in selecting florist, caterers, hair, makeup, and DJ. We weren’t getting a reply from one of the hired services. Beth immediately handled the problem and took what was a stressful situation off our plate.
Thanks to the owners, Mick and Lisa, for an amazing weekend.

If you want a super laid back do-it-yourself kind of wedding, this is your place;if you are someone who needs consistent set plans and guidance sprinkled with a little elegance, yo...
u may want to look elsewhere. I booked this venue with full on Sweet Home Alabama vibes. I am a city girl but with coronavirus still somewhat at play, we booked this charming country outdoor venue to ensure some social distancing.
We initially loved the venue but what we were not told is that during the time of our wedding, they would be undergoing remodeling to the venue bathrooms and the designated area where we had our rehearsal dinner and got ready the day of.That upset me because it was not included in our contract nor was it aesthetically pleasing at all, no flooring & finishings, and we were not warned that they were going to be doing this until we arrived for our wedding weekend. I had to purchase a carpet myself for women's bathroom as they only had plywood flooring and guests were having to walk through wet grass in heels to get to bathroom as they did not yet have an entrance.
The venue is owned by a sweet couple who basically run the entire operation with some family, along with their friend who is the wedding coordinator. Very nice people, but not big on organization/planning. Ie- the day of the wedding my coordinator said they would be there in the morning to set up.The day came, my florists show up, and coordinator is not there, nothing is ready, so my parents and friends scrambled to set up tables. We had the venue until 11pm, but venue owners instructed dj to announce last call at 10pm.Little things like that, where we were told one thing by the venue and then those things never came to fruition, continued to happen which impacted my final review of venue.They offered us wedding props but said we would have to pay to rent them-fyi there is a much nicer venue down the road (who is booked out 2 years) that lets you use all props for free and charges the same amount as HPR.
The weekend package includes wedding coordinator and shuttle bus amongst other things. Only crucial benefit in opting for weekend package is to ensure there is not a wedding at the venue the night before yours. The wedding coordinator was kind but did not do much the day of the wedding or prior,I felt that I did most myself. Ie-I had to call someone to escort myself and my entire wedding party by golf cart to the reception as I could not walk in my dress and my wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found.We also had little details promised to us for the reception that were not given because they told us they simply forgot. We were also told the venue had wifi for guests by the owner the day we toured the venue, but again this was not true as I asked for the wifi info during our wedding weekend and was told they did not have it by the same person who said they did.
The reception area is beautiful and a huge part of why we committed to this venue. Beyond that, much of the the venue is travel by foot and all locations are just far enough away that, in a dress/heels/tux you really want to be diligent about how much you have to walk- separate areas of the venue include an area to get ready, the ceremony, to the reception.There is uphill/down hill, gravel and grass torrain.This is also why it was upsetting when my wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found when my and my wedding party needed to be introduced at our reception-we ended up being about a half hour late.
Much love HPR!

This provides a space for the bridal party to stay the night before. We were also able to have our rehearsal dinner there and spend the whole weekend with our family and friends. It was amazing to be able to set up early on Friday, have fun Saturday night, and then come back Sunday for clean up. Absolutely worth it. There is also an amazing space to get ready, with private rooms for the ladies and gents and a spacious common area to hang out for the day. You cannot beat the views and spaces for the ceremony, reception, and pictures. They have also added on a ton to the reception area that makes it perfect for the celebration. We cannot recommend this venue enough to any couple looking for where to spend their wedding day!

A gorgeous, spacious pavillion nestled inside rolling hills, beautiful trees, and a serene pond provided stunning pastoral ambiance. Sunset photos atop their hills gave us the most incredible wedding photos. The Hitching Post Ranch is bar none the best wedding venue in the area.

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful our wedding was here at the Hitching Post Ranch! The ceremony site offers an amazing natural backdrop. The reception area is functio...
nal and extremely beautiful. There are many amazing locations for beautiful sunset portraits too! Not only is the venue amazing, but the owners make the experience all the better! Mick and Lisa were so involved in making sure our day was just how we pictured it. You are not treated as a couple getting married, but rather as a part of their family; this sets them apart from all the other venues we visited and had solidified our choice before we had even seen the whole place! We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding, the wedding of our dreams!
