Canyon Run Ranch was the wedding venue of our dreams! Amy was always prompt in her communication leading up to the day and went above and beyond to ensure all of our questions and concerns were answered. My sister is in a wheel chair, and we were concerned about her ability to move through out the venue, but Amy ensured she was able to access everything from the ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception barn! The venue itself is gorgeous. The pictures do not do it justice at all; it is straight out of a fairy tale! We used their recommended vendors list for catering and had 0 issues with the service. We also went with craft event bar for the DJ, alcohol, and planning services and I cannot recommend them enough. It made the entire day seamless so that both myself and my husband could relax and enjoy the day! Also, wedding cat was a fan favorite!

I got married on August 9, 2025 at Magnolia Hill Farm, and from booking all the way through my wedding day, my experience was absolutely exceptional! Both Ashley and Coty are truly some of the most genuine and caring people I have ever come across. They went above and beyond to make my dream day a reality and supported me in every way possible. The venue itself is absolutely stunning,every detail is so thoughtfully cared for, and you can tell how much love and pride they put into maintaining the grounds. From the gorgeous ceremony space to the reception area, everything felt magical and timeless. Being an out-of-state bride, I did most of my communication with Ashley over the phone, and throughout the entire process she made me feel like I had a best friend walking alongside me. She was patient, reassuring, and always ready with helpful guidance. That level of personal connection is so rare and something I will always cherish. On the actual wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. Ashley and Coty made sure I could just be in the moment and enjoy my day without stress. My family and guests were blown away not only by how beautiful the venue was, but also by how warm and welcoming the Magnolia Hill team is. I am forever grateful for Ashley, Coty, and Magnolia Hill Farm. They don’t just provide a venue,they provide an experience filled with care, love, and genuine passion for what they do. If you’re considering this venue, don’t think twice. It will be the best decision you make!
