Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
We are a family of dreamers.
In 1996, my parents, Tim and Patty Mudge, dreamed of opening their own cattle ranch, and so Mudge Ranch was born. Today, three generations live and work together breeding cattle, growing hay, and maintaining this charming, 10,000 square foot facility.
Years later, after celebrating several family weddings on site, I dreamed of a unique space in which more brides and grooms could tie the knot, and so The Venue at Mudge Ranch became a reality.
Hi there! I am Becky Mudge Black and The Venue truly is my dream come true. Along with my husband, Jeremy, and brother, Chad, we have created a perfect place for any event, a rustic barn built on a foundation of pride, passion, and love.
Our facility is much more than an operational farm these days; it is a venue in which dreams come true even before you say, "I do". Beautifully maintained and offering a variety of picturesque views, The Venue at Mudge Ranch is sure to be the perfect backdrop for your wedding day
We offer one day rentals, included is a spacious bridal room, grooms retreat, unique Fire Pit area with bench swings, air-conditioned multi-stall restrooms, large food prep area with 17x8 ft walk-in cooler, and several different ceremony areas to choose from.
Our barn is almost 10,000 sq ft with over 7,000 sq ft of open seating for your reception. All the rooms are under the barn, just in case of rain, you are covered under one roof. This means you and your guests stay dry even with our crazy Florida weather.
Here at the ranch, we pride ourselves on having a beautiful facility and continue to maintain and improve every day. Let your forever start at Mudge Ranch.

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Becky and the Mudge Ranch team. I got married in December of 2024, and it was a perfect day with no stress! To start, we toured the venue with Becky where she answered all of our questions and we quickly fell in love with the venue! The venue itself is beautiful, from the big barn, to the ceremony area, to the well maintained property & oaks. Becky was my day of coordinator and she was so beyond helpful with setting up a timeline, ensuring everything ran smoothly & allowing me to truly be in the moment and enjoy my day. She was super responsive to all of my questions and never made me feel like a burden. She stayed one step ahead of me the entire day, taking care of things that hadn’t even became a thought in my head yet. The event staff that helped during the ceremony and reception was also phenomenal! They were so kind and attentive to my husband & I, making sure we got plates of food and our drinks refilled. They were so efficient at cleaning up after dinner and allowed our guests and I to ease right into dancing. When planning my wedding, I was told by numerous people that the venue and the vendors you choose will make all of the difference on your wedding day. I am so glad that we chose Becky and her crew at the Venue of Mudge Ranch and I would make the same choice a million times over again!

My husband and I knew we wanted a barn-style venue in SWFL, and as soon as we stepped onto the property of Mudge Ranch, we knew it was the one for us. We were immediately touched by the peaceful beauty of the location. They have everything you would need for any size wedding including perfect bridal suites for the girls and guys to get ready in. Additionally, we loved the fact that they are an all-inclusive venue was very appealing to us as it made the vendor process and pricing much easier and affordable. Their staff was easy to work with and helped make our big day beautiful, especially their in-house coordinator Danielle. If you are looking for a rustic-style venue in SWFL, this is the one!

Where to begin? Becky and her team have crafted such a unique and carefree experience for their brides and wedding couples. Let's just forget that the venue is absolutely gorgeous. One visit there and you will be hooked! But this team approaches the wedding craze with a personal touch. I was looking for a venue that was affordable, but I also wanted to find a venue that was close to all-inclusive, since I'm not a wedding person. Mudge Ranch has created such a unique experience that, if you would like, they will coordinate with every vendor you need for your wedding. You can use their selection of vendors they have or you can find your own. Their wedding coordinator, Danielle, is fabulous as well! Mudge Ranch took all the work out of my wedding. All I had to do was show up. I have absolutely no regrets on choosing Mudge Ranch as my wedding venue. Becky and her team are the absolute best and would do it with them all over again !

I got married at Mudge Ranch 1 month ago, and I was very happy and grateful for everything. Hurricane Ian went through 1 week before and just caused so much hassle for my family and friends; however, everything went so smoothly! The staff were great! The venue was very beautiful! Made the wedding day amazing. I would definitely recommend the Venue to everyone!

Beautiful barn. Looks as if it comes out of a fairytale book. Gorgeous sun lighting through the trees. Definitely one of kind experience. The bridal suite is gorgeous and big, looks like an older vintage garden look. They also have a grooms room which is perfect to make sure the husband to be is there on time. Tons of room for parking, also includes ac bathrooms and a kitchen with an ice maker. The owner is wonderful and sweet. And wants nothing but the best for your special day. So excited to say out I do’s there.

We attended a wedding at this venue recently. We were pleased- the spacious building had everything from comfortable dressing rooms for the bridal party to a large kitchen and nice restrooms. It’s in a beautiful oak hammock great for taking pictures. We highly recommend it.

My grandson was married at this venue in December - it was beautiful. The venue is great. Everything you need is there and very comfortable- rooms for bride and family and groom and family, rest rooms, etc. They even provided blankets for we older people who get cold when the sun sets and we got to keep them! The owners are very helpful in every way. The grounds are beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion you may have.

I attended a wedding at Mudge Ranch on New Years Eve. The property is beautiful and the facilities have everything you need from a kitchen to bathrooms. I have been to other outdoor wedding venues where you have to bring tons of coolers for food and drinks and use Port a Johns or walk down a dark pathway to try and find a restroom. This venue has it all! It was recently built so everything is brand new. I highly recommend this venue for all your future events.

This Venue is amazing. My wife was a photographer for years. We have seen a lot of venues and this one is by far the best. Becky And Chad went out of their way to make our event great. I can’t think of anything that I would change. They are available and helpful throughout the event.

My son got married here. The Venue is beautiful. They have thought of everything. Becky and her team are amazing. Everything was perfect. Someone was always available if we needed anything. I was surprised the day after, when we went back to clean up, someone was there to help us also. We couldn’t ask for it to better. Becky truly goes above and beyond to make the day perfect.

This is a great venue and I have worked in many different venues. This was my nephews wedding and I was in charge of the decorations and setup! We had planned for 300 guest and had closer to 400 show up. Ceremony was to be held outside until weather changed plans. Becky and her crew saw that everything was moved inside in the hour that I was gone to get dressed as this was a family wedding for me.
Everything turned out beautiful and wedding started only 10 minutes late.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a venue that can accommodate such a large number of guests and keep everyone dry in case of rain.?
