Getting married at Red Ridge was the easiest and best decision I made for our wedding! I was sold as soon as I had a tour and reviewed the multiple package options. The whole staff is so accommodating and pays close attention to detail. I was able to structure out the entire wedding ceremony and reception months before the Big Day. Then, on my wedding day, they were flexible and met my every need. All of my guests have told me how much fun and how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend Red Ridge!

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.

I was looking for a rental that was unique and our cabin stay at Artemis Ranch was our best stay in Texas! From the moment you drive in, you’re transported to an African safari. The ranch is massive. We took a 2 hour tour and got to see many exotic animals roaming around free. My boys were in awe of the zebras, the rino and the giraffes, who they got to feed. The cabin was equipped with everything you need including a pool, hot tub and fire pit for snores. My personal favorite was the many little personal touches to make your stay feel special like snacks for the kids and breakfast items. We received VIP hospitality from Ty and Bill which elevated our stay. My sons want to go back for summer break since we didn’t have time to fish. If you’re looking for a unique experience full of excitement, stay here. You’ll have a hard time deciding which activity to do because there is so much and they are all so much fun!

Nestled in the Texas Hill Country amidst lush greenery, waterfalls and blooming flowers, the venue exudes romance and elegance!

The reception space was equally impressive, with a spacious layout that allowed for both dining and dancing. The lighting transformed the space into a warm, inviting atmosphere as the sun set. We rented the Homestead for the morning of our wedding for all of the bridesmaids to get ready and I must say, SO worth it!

Hilltop hideaway was a beautiful location for our wedding. The home was perfect to bring both families close and to stay and enjoy. The grounds offered several areas to choose from to have the ceremony. We got married in April which could mean rain. The venue had an option for an indoor barn style set up if we needed. Which has a kitchen set up to help serve. Overall we enjoyed the location. Communication with the owners as well as the grounds keeper was top notch.
