“Rachel and the Lone Wulff Ranch were an absolute dream for our wedding day. We were specifically looking for a venue where we weren't locked into catering contracts and could have food that fit us best and we quickly found The Lone Wulff Ranch. Immediately upon pulling onto the property for a tour I was pretty confident we were going to book. It has the perfect rustic ranch feel with so many options for your day. The oak tree is magical, the goats add such a fun touch, noodle and the rest of the characters on the ranch just added even more to the experience. In planning the big day Rachel was extremely prompt and professional. She has seen A LOT and she knows what to prepare you for. Her vendor list is top tier, but she lets you book outside of her list if you want which is nice if you want the flexibility. The staff on site during the wedding is amazing. Everyone is all in on you having a magical day and it really shows. The only issue (that I know of, at least) on our wedding day was that the bathroom generator ran out of gas, but Rachel was immediately on it and refilled it in a matter of minutes. This venue has SO MUCH to offer. If it fits your vision, book it. There is so much customization on this property, they have a prop den if you want to keep it easy. We got so many compliments on the venue and how balanced it is for guests. It gives you separate ceremony and reception space all on one property allowing for a seamless experience for everyone. The barn critters were such a fun addition for us, but Rachel also was extremely mindful that they were part of our vision for the day. I will always sing the praises of Rachel and this venue, absolutely would recommend.”
