The staff was helpful through every part of the planning and coordinating processes
Wonder Valley Ranch is beautiful! Everyone involved in helping us with our wedding was so nice and helpful. They really made our wedding perfect. Our guests loved it as well.
I cannot express how beautiful this property is. We stayed up the night before and had a great rehearsal dinner and did a campfire. They were so efficient and so nice. Every staff member you ran into was so pleasant. Our wedding had a little rain and it still worked out. It’s very picturesque. If you’re at all considering going with this place, go for it!
Wonder Valley is beautiful in so many ways. My husband and I wanted something outdoors with a beautiful scenery and this was the perfect place. The staff was very friendly and helpful with planning. Special thanks to Jamie & Ger you two made our night one to remember.
Ger and her wedding team are amazing! They were so helpful throughout our whole planning process. The wedding garden is absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Wonder Valley Ranch Resort.
Very beautiful place, the staff really works with you to make the wedding that you want to have. My day of coordinator Ger was so amazing she went above and beyond the day of my wedding.
Wondervalley ranch is a great and wonderous place to do your wedding. The Wedding staff was great at accommodating everything we needed. Even though it rained it was still perfect in every way and the wonder valley ranch wedding team did great especially our coordinator Ger. I think the only frustrating part was the guest accommodations, lots of “miscommunications” and unfortunately they had given the bridal parties house rental away and we had a big issue with that, then there was the issue of having mice in the cabin, I had notified staff and manager and all they did was clean the poop that was there, so sadly I didn’t even stay in the cabin I rented the night prior to the wedding. No accommodations just a we’ll clean that for you”.
In my honest of honest opinions wonder valley ranch resort is a great place to do your wedding, the wedding team and coordinator are awesome at what they do, the only thing i’d have to say for future parties is to make sure there is NO “miscommunication” on room reservation because we got a lot of miscommunication that weekend with room stays etc.
Overall again if your just looking to do your wedding somewhere gorgeous and with awesome wedding staff choose wondervalley. Just get your ducks in a row when it comes to room/cabin accommodations
Everyone at Wonder Valley Ranch helped made my day absolutely so special. We had so many people staying the night, the wedding was on a Sunday and we had people flying in from 5 different countries - yet the team at Wonder Valley made sure everything was absolutely perfect for us. The grounds are perfect, the horse-drawn cart came at the absolute perfect time we walked down the isle and everything was just magical. We received so many compliments on how BEAUTIFUL the wedding was and how fun the activities and grounds were on the day before. If you want amazing food (we did Top Sirloin, Sundried Tomato Penne Pasta and Mash Potatoes, Asparagus). No matter your style, I highly recommend Wonder Valley Ranch for your event.
They are very professional and make everything stress free. The ceremony and reception area is beautiful. We are glad we chose Wonder Valley as our venue for our special day!
Wonder Valley Ranch was everything we could have imagined for our daughter's wedding! It was close enough to Fresno but still felt far enough away to feel like a perfect get away. Ger and Carolyn were amazing to work with and always available to help throughout our entire planning process to the day-of. We highly recommend having your wedding here if you want a stress-free venue!
My husband and I were married here on 02/18/18 and it was incredible! Ger and Madyson were absolute Godsends and worked so hard to make sure our day was perfect. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful, we were barely stressed at all. The venue is picturesque and we love how close the ceremony space was to the reception space. We want to return soon for a small vacation.
Wonder Valley was beautiful in so many ways! My husband and I love nature so this was the perfect location for us. I worked with Carolyn and Ger, both amazing ladies! They were very flexible and made my last minute changes work. Very pleased!
Venue was beautiful and staff was wonderful!
Wonder Valley Ranch Resort is a beautiful venue to have a wedding! Our wedding was so magical because of the beauty that already existed there! The staff was amazing to work with! Carrie took care of our finance and many other things. She was always very understanding with our budget and what our wedding image was! It was a great pleasure working with her! :) It was also a pleasure to work with Laura and Larry! They both played a huge part in putting the venue together! Along with Wonder Valley's beauty, they also have delicious food! We would love to go back to see the landscape and eat!
We could not have picked a better venue. From the wedding coordinator to the decor and food everything was perfect. Beautiful venue, private, and romantic. Thank you Wonder Valley Ranch Resort for all your services that gave us our dream wedding on March 8, 2014.
I could not have been happier with Wonder Valley staff and it could not have been a more perfect day. Questions were answered in a timely fashion, the area was beautiful and the staff went out of their way to accommodate all of us. We will pass our happiness on to anyone who chooses to use this venue. We highly recommend this property and we have a beautiful memory thanks to wonder valley!!
We just had our wedding here and it was amazing! But to be fair I do need to split this review into 2 sections.
Wedding:
All the good things you’ve heard are true!! Laura was our coordinator and she did a really amazing job! She walked us through the planning meeting like a true professional. It was quick but very thorough and covered details that even I hadn’t thought of! On the day of the wedding she literally took care of EVERYTHING. We were glad to see that there were plenty of umbrellas set up to keep the ceremony area cool (it was 100 that day) at no extra cost. Additionally, I never even saw my cake vendor and the DJ was all set up and ready to go before I even thought to ask about it. She kept everything running on a schedule and made sure the night ran as smoothly as possible (despite some problems with the DJ). If I could do it all over again I would definitely still have my wedding here!
Accommodations:
This is a camp, not a hotel, and that’s how they run. If you want to reserve rooms for your guests you have to pay a deposit for each room you want that is only refundable after your guests pay for their rooms. Additionally, it seemed like every time a family member called to reserve a room they got a different story about pricing and if they needed to be “on the list” or not. Every time that happened Stephanie was a big help and always helped us get it straightened out, but it was a really big hassle trying to explain the set up to our families and make sure everyone got a room. Despite that, the rooms I stayed in (Sycamore the night before the wedding and a Cottage the night of) were nicely appointed, affordable, and very comfortable. Additionally the Sycamore room was HUGE and a great place to stage everything we needed to set up for the wedding the next day.
I was a little nervous when it came closer to my wedding day because Wonder Valley is bad about not replying to emails very quickly. But everything ended up great. The ladies there were really helpful the day of and made everything run smoothly. They even made sure everything looked gorgeous because my eyes couldn't be everywhere at once. The price was very good compared to other places I had looked at as well.
