This is the absolute best place to get married. We had an amazing rehearsal and wedding night here. It is so beneficial that they offer a wedding eve package for your rehearsal that includes the houses on the venue. Our family/friends were traveling out of town and this was very convenient, plus the houses are incredibly beautiful and well put together. The catering being incorporated into the venue created so much ease it was unbelievable, plus the food is soooo good, our guests raved about it. Many said this was the best wedding food they had ever had! I could go on and on about how amazing the Orchard is. We are so grateful to the team there and Tess who was our day-of coordinator. Tess was fantastic!

We held our wedding here and the flower aisle was beautiful. The barn has a few decorations, but is also a blank slate. We didn't want a "country" themed wedding, but still a rural one, so we added some ribbons and other touches to make it more aligned with our style. Everyone said that the wedding was so "us". Shelbey and Sebastian were so helpful and accommodating. Shelbey was able to create a custom package for us. Even when it was threatening to rain, they kept an eye on the weather and helped us come up with some alternative options, just in case. They also coordinated chair delivery and setup when we were busy and trying to decide whether to have the ceremony inside or outside. Communication was also excellent. I was planning from a different state, so I had a ton of questions, and Shelbey always responded in a timely manner and thoroughly. Highly recommend Mesa Ranch for any event!
