The Ranch was the most beautiful, perfect venue for our wedding this May. Not only were the greens absolutely stunning and well-kept, but the ceremony space was clean, spacious...
, and beautiful. From the very first time meeting Angie, the venue's wedding coordinator, she was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and you can truly tell she loves her job. She made the entire wedding planning process so seamless and easy for us, and on the actual wedding day, her and her team made the day go by without a single error. The attention to detail and the effort that goes into every aspect of the day was something that eased our mind so much. The food was incredible, and the reception space(s) were perfect-- we were lucky enough to have wonderful weather and utilized the ceremony space during the reception as well (highly recommend this!)
Angie also took care of all of the decor for the ceremony and reception space, making every flower arrangement and the table decor so elegant and matched the exact vibe we wanted. She has the best eye for what looks good and we were so thankful that her and her team were in charge of decor set up and break down.
The bridal and groom's suites were clean, comfortable, aesthetic, and the perfect spaces to get ready (we each had 7 people getting ready) and the best part was that they were temperature controlled! (A big win for a hot day!)
We cannot recommend The Ranch enough, and wish we could do it all over again with the same people! Thank you to everyone at The Ranch who helped make our day so perfect!

We were married in June 2026 on a summer day that was rainy windy and overcast right up till before the start of the wedding. Angelica and her staff held our hands with the confid...
ence of professionals and assured us the outdoor wedding would go off without a hitch. She was spot on! Our wedding in the outdoor courtyard was perfect and we had a beautiful ceremony followed by and short reception outside (for picture taking time) then inside the post and beam barn reception venue for a wonderful meal and reception. The food was delicious and plentiful and it was followed by a great time dancing and visiting with family and friends. The staff at The Ranch was professional, courteous and most helpful to us and our guests which made the day one we will never forget. If you are looking for a location that will provide lasting memories and accommodate a ceremony and reception in one location we highly recommend Angelica and The Ranch.

We were married at The Ranch in July of 2025. We can’t recommend The Ranch Golf Club enough for your wedding. Truly.
There are so many wonderful parts of The Ranch that it’s hard ...
to put them all into words. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it. Even three months later, people still tell us how perfect the venue was.
The Ranch impressed us in every possible way with the details that matter most. The food was incredible. People still mention the braised beef short rib to us, and dozens of guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The entire venue is accessible for wheelchairs and for anyone who might have trouble walking. Everything you need is self-contained, which made the day smooth and easy for everyone. The bridal suite couldn’t have been more perfect. A full house to get ready in and return to whenever we needed a moment to breathe was something we didn’t know would be so important on our wedding day. And the grounds? Perfection. We wanted our wedding to feel like The Shire, and The Ranch delivered . Its well-maintained green grass, natural details, and tall golden fields felt straight out of a storybook. It made every part of our vision come true.
The Ranch speaks for itself. You don’t need to spend thousands on décor or flowers to make it beautiful. We chose simple floral arrangements, and the space still looked breathtaking. The venue’s natural charm does most of the work for you.
We also loved how seamlessly the indoor and outdoor spaces flow together. The reception and dancing take place inside the stunning barn, but guests can wander out into the private courtyard. It gave everyone options, whether they wanted to dance or relax outside, and that made the night feel even more effortless and joyful. And those who were outside still felt like they were right there in your reception since the indoor and outdoor areas flowed so effortlessly thanks to the huge barn doors. It felt like one big venue space.
And then there’s the staff. They are the heart of The Ranch. I didn’t know it was possible for people who weren’t family or friends to put so much genuine care into our day. Angie, the main coordinator, is nothing short of magical. From our first meeting, her calm, grounded presence made everything feel manageable. Wedding planning is stressful, but Angie’s steady guidance and well-trained eye made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Plus, she has so many items you can rent for your day which truly makes The Ranch a one stop shop. Angie is honest, thoughtful, and deeply experienced. We especially appreciated that there was never a hidden cost with The Ranch. Angie was always extremely transparent and honest with us. On your big day, the little touches she adds will make you cry in the best way. She anticipated every guests' need which we received multiple compliments on. She is the perfectionist you want coordinating your wedding day. We can’t imagine our planning process and day without her.
Her team deserves endless praise too. From the moments with her staff in the bridal suite to the last song of the night, they made us feel seen, special, and cared for. We didn’t feel like we were just another event. Their warmth and professionalism made The Ranch feel like so much more than just a venue. The Ranch will always be like a home for one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

My husband and I got married at The Ranch in May of 2025. I am still in awe of how perfect everything was. From day one of meeting Angie I was sold on the ranch. She was SO helpful...
and truly took all of the stress of wedding planning away. I can’t rave enough about how incredible and attentive Angie and her team were the entire day. They went above and beyond to make every single thing run seamlessly and absolutely perfect. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We received so many compliments about the food, staff and stunning venue. Choosing the Ranch was the best decision we made and I highly recommend having your wedding here!

We got married 06/20/25 and had our dream wedding at the Ranch. I cannot say enough good things about Angelica and her team. She was responsive, reassuring and listened so well to ...
any concerns or questions I had, as well as to my vision. She executed our wedding day exactly, if not better than we imagined. Her and her team even went above and beyond to help ensure my elderly grandmother was comfortable throughout the whole event!
Our wedding day was absolutely stress free because Angelica and her team TRUELY took care of everything. The venue is stunning and the food is great! Our guests were blown away throughout the night. We are so happy we chose the Ranch for our big day and have zero regrets! Choose the Ranch if you also want to have an amazing wedding day!

The Ranch Golf Club is a spectacular wedding venue. It is beautiful, reasonably priced, and has an awesome staff. Angie the wedding coordinator is super kind and flexible, and she ...
seemingly has endless energy. The assistant staff is very friendly, and the chef makes excellent food.
One example of the exemplary service is how they handled potential bad weather. Our ceremony was supposed to be in the courtyard adjacent to the barn, but there was a surplus of ice present there 2 weeks before (March wedding). To deal with this, Angie offered us the patio next to the 1st tee for FREE, even though it is normally significantly more expensive. We happily took our deal, especially since the view there is gorgeous. She also let us wait until 2 days before to officially decide if we wanted to do the ceremony indoors or outdoors. Crazy flexible.
The day of our wedding, Angie and the staff worked their magic behind the scenes to make our day perfect. They made sure that everyone was taken care of and allowed us to be worry free and really enjoy every moment.
Between the location, the enchanting reception hall, and the incredible staff, we couldn’t think of a better place to get married.

The Ranch itself is absolutely stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for our day. Having the farmhouse as our bridal suite was an amazing perk; it was so convenient to be right on-site and made for a relaxed, memorable, and fun getting-ready experience. We’re so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable!

The day ran so smoothly and the team kept us on schedule which is hard to do with so many parties involved. Angie, you and your team are amazing! I would recommend The Ranch to anyone!

My husband and I got married on June 16, 2023 at The Ranch Golf Club. About a year ago, when we first stepped foot on the venue grounds and walked in the gorgeous reception hall, w...
e just knew that it was exactly where we wanted to have our big day.
First of all, Angelica, the venue coordinator, is absolutely amazing and she was right there to help us with anything and everything! She was incredibly responsive and was very supportive of my crazy DIY dreams. I am a super controlling and perfectionistic type of person and Angelica really just understood the assignment and made my vision come true! She made us feel so special and she was genuine about her excitement for us. She is so dedicated and you can tell that she LOVES her job! She also did her best to give us ample time to set up our decor and she jumped in to help us right away!
The bridal suite is such an amazing perk to have right there on the grounds! When we arrived in the morning, we walked into a kitchen full of delicious food and mimosas that I had pre-ordered along with our wedding package.
The staff was phenomenal! There were so many people there to help us make our day perfect. We got a little bit of rain right as our guests were arriving and the staff jumped into action without hesitation and started passing out the rain ponchos we purchased. They moved quickly and efficiently, making sure everything was going as planned even though the rain threw us for a little bit of a loop! Every single person who works at The Ranch is so kind! The cooks, the gals in the office, the golf shop sales associates, everyone!
The food was delicious and we continue to get compliments on how tasty everything was! We had the ice cream sundae bar and Mrs. Murphy's donuts to pair! Delicious! Our guests also raved about how we had 2 bars available for them during cocktail hour! That was a hit!
Lastly, the grounds are beautiful! We aren't big golfers, but the rolling hills were perfect backdrops for our photos! We did our first look under a tree behind the bridal suite overlooking the mountains in the distance. The golfers were very respectful and were quick to offer kind compliments and a "congrats!" as they drove by us.
Everything about our day was seriously amazing. We are so happy that we decided to get married at The Ranch Golf Club!

Words can't describe our gratitude for Angie and the Ranch Golf Club team! We were first attracted to this venue for its price--renting out the Ranch for our wedding was significan...
tly cheaper than many other similar venues (and it included more things; ex. all the twinkle lights and drapery we would have to pay extra for at other places). However, what really stood out throughout this process for us was the incredible staff. Angie was patient and kind, bearing with us through every changed decision and request; she was flexible in meeting our needs and worked so hard day-of to make everything run perfectly smoothly! Angie's team of Abby, Bryan, Amanda, and Chef Steve were also fantastic...they treated us like celebrities all weekend making sure that we were taken care of at all times. All guests kept commenting on how smoothly and effortlessly our wedding ran, and all that was thanks to Angie and her team for all their behind-the-scenes work. We couldn't more highly recommend the Ranch to anyone interested! We will be back for all our events in the future.

My husband and I were married at The Ranch Golf Club in June and it was honestly the perfect venue for our relatively small (~100 guests) wedding. The price was very reasonable for...
the area and the food was absolutely outstanding! Months later our guests are still talking about how great the short ribs were!! We had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, but a last-minute rain shower changed those plans! The staff at The Ranch quickly moved all of our decorations inside and made the space look more beautiful than I could have imagined. They even sent covered golf carts to shuttle my bridesmaids and I from where we were getting ready to the barn. However, the absolute best feature of the venue is their event coordinator Bonnie. I cannot even count the number of times I said “I love Bonnie!” throughout our wedding planning process. She is absolutely spectacular and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make any special accommodations that we requested. That woman deserves a raise! I don’t know how anyone plans a wedding without “a Bonnie”. We love you!! <3

irelessly on the day of the wedding to make everything perfect. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it was a little difficult for us to keep in touch leading up to the wedding (Bonnie seemed to prefer texting and I prefer email) and we had some expectations that were different-specifically about the food tasting and some questions around beer options. But they made things easy for me and my husband as well as for the bridal party on the wedding day-making sure there was food and drink set aside while we were taking photos. They also worked closely with our awesome florist so that I didn't need to worry at all about decorating the space, and the end result absolutely exceeded my expectations. All of our guests commented that it was a perfect day, and the staff at The Ranch helped make that happen.
