This aesthetically, logistically flawless venue offers endless options of the finest lodging, dining, wineries, tourist destinations in the immediate area.

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of King River Ranch! Absolutely everything was incredible! My Husband and I fell in love with the look and feel of the venue from the first moment we stepped on the ranch and met the owner David. He made us feel right at home and the venue was the exact place we had been looking for to get married! King River Ranch staff will even help you with floral design, vendor referrals, rentals, wedding decorations and make sure it is perfect for the best day of your life. They are experts in floral design and can help you make your wedding dreams turn into reality. The view from the ceremony site right on the Pedernales river was breathtaking. The whole place just has a magical feeling to it, The Barn, the ceremony site, the lawn areas….and all the beautiful animals that live on the property including the ranch horse King! The honeymoon suite is just beautiful, such a lovely place for the bride to get ready with her bridesmaids and for the couple to stay the night of their wedding. I could not have asked for a better venue to get ready with my best friends and it is a day I will remember forever. The groom and groomsmen have their own room to get ready with a TV to watch all their sporting events and can walk down to the Pedernales river to hang out with their buddies. My husband loved being able to use this ranch during the day! We also took our engagement pictures at the ranch which was so much fun, and I could not have asked for a prettier background for our save the dates. It was amazing to be able to meet our photographer before the day of our wedding and he also became familiar with our wedding site! People often ask us what the best part about our wedding day was and for both of us the best part about the day was dancing the night away under the beautiful hill country stars. We had several people come up to us saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and everything was so perfect. We highly recommend King River Ranch, David, and all his staff. They go above and beyond to make everything perfect for your dream wedding. We keep in touch with everyone we met during our wedding journey and so lucky that we stumbled upon this magical venue. Thank you, David, and KRR Staff, you made our day the most special day of our lives. Love You KRR! Jordan & Chase.

  • Starts at $300

This venue space is perfect for elopement's and small weddings. The spacious terrace is surrounded by a beautiful garden and the tranquil sound of the waterfall. The covered pavilion is easily transformed to accommodate your ceremony in case of rain or simply used to set up beverages, food, cake. Changing room for the bride is conveniently located next to terrace. We offer a simple and relaxed setting.

  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe
  • Perfect for a micro-wedding
  • Surrounded by nature

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • On-site parking not available
  • Small venue, not ideal for a large guest lists
We were blown away with the waterfall terrace. This venue is great, especially if you're looking for something that's budget friendly. My husband and I were engaged for almost 3 years, so when we decided it was finally time to get married, we didn't want to wait very long to do so. We planned our wedding in just a few months. We wanted to find a venue that would host a good amount of people without breaking the bank. We also didn't want to stress out about decorating or making a lot of preparations. The waterfall terrace was great for this because there's a LOT of greenery, flowers, flowing water and beautiful decor already present at the venue. The bridal suite was gorgeous. The decorations in the room are simple but they go a long way in photos. The altar is already set up for you in the way that you want it before you arrive, tables and linens are provided along with chairs. There are multiple spots within the venue for gorgeous photos, especially on the balcony. It couldn't have been more simple for us. The host is extremely accommodating and flexible. She really took into account what we wanted and worked with us every step of the way. She was always willing to answer my questions and was readily available for phone calls or texting. You can't rent the venue for a full day, however, you can rent it for 4 hours or less and we found that 4 hours was stress enough time to do all of the traditional wedding things. We hosted a ceremony with 40 guests, did photos, dancing, food, cake, etc. We did have an after party at our house after our 4 hours was up at the venue, so that's something that other couples could consider if they want a budget friendly venue but still want to spend a whole day with their friends and family. Overall, I am so happy with this venue and I'm so grateful I found it here on Zola and I wouldn't change a thing about our experience.

Not only did my wife & I get married here (twice, thanks to the covid shutdown!) & have our son baptized in Star Hill's Chapel, but I've also worked with the Star Hill family as a wedding cake vendor for over a decade. I can say without hesitation that it's my favorite venue to work with & a consistently stunning backdrop for your most special celebrations. Matt, Adam, & Renee are so easy to work with & adopt every couple into their family. They're loving & genuinely care for their clients, which is rare in such a booming industry. On top of their good character, the pricing is fair, the property offers a wide array of charming indoor & outdoor options, & they make it easy to either hand-pick each of your vendors or receive vetted recommendations from their list of preferred vendors. Our wedding guests still talk about this amazing venue 3 years later!

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Deep Eddy Distillery and truly couldn’t have been happier with the experience! We went in sight unseen and were a bit nervous, but Stacee was incredibly helpful from the start—she sent us detailed videos and answered all of our questions so we could feel totally confident. The space ended up exceeding all expectations. One of the biggest highlights included the included photo booth—it was a hit with our guests! Beyond that, the staff was warm, friendly, and made everything feel easy and welcoming, which was such a relief with so many out-of-town guests. We also really appreciated how flexible the venue is. It’s one of the only spots in the area that has an indoor space with A/C (so important in Texas heat!), the ability to bring in your own caterer, which gave us so much freedom to personalize the dinner, and a layout that works great for both small and large groups. The whole experience felt relaxed, fun, and personal—exactly what we hoped for. Can’t recommend Deep Eddy and Stacee enough for anyone planning an event in the area!

We reserved the Tobacco Barn for the ceremony to include a buffet-style dinner and plenty of room for dancing afterward. Due to the heat, we rented portable AC units and fans for the barn to keep the temperature down in the Texas heat. The 3-day weekend event was a success with no issues and no complaints. The staff went above and beyond to ensure all our guests, accommodations, and the wedding ceremony were perfect. Many of our guests said they want to return to Cedar Break for a personal getaway in the Texas Hill Country again. If you are looking for a wedding venue with onsite accommodations, this is hands down the place to get!
