I knew with my busy work schedule it would be difficult to plan a wedding all by myself and that wedding planners are expensive. Baker's Ranch provides an all inclusive experience from start to finish with their lovely staff and made it so easy. The venue itself if beautiful and has a lot of variety and photo backdrop magic. They were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. You can have design sessions and they can bring whatever vision you have for your special day to life. I'm so glad I got married here.

My Husband ( crazy to say!) and I got married at the Wishing Well Last night and it was truly the most magical night of my life. I genuinely couldn’t have imagined a better night, and all I kept thinking was I hope this night never ends and if I could do it again and again I would. We were one of the many couples affected by the cross creek ranch sudden shut down. With literally only 5 days to plan a wedding that we had spent the last year planning at CCR we were gifted with an angel, Michelle. As for the open barn it was perfect - I loved having it open on the sides because it allowed me to feel more connected to nature, with nature being the main reason i gravitated to CCR in the first place. I’m on my honeymoon now and plan to unplug but I wanted to put a blast out to anyone else who was affected that this place is BETTER! It felt like we were at home, were so well taken care of, and all of our intricate and unique requests that we had spent months planning were delivered on with perfection. Also wanted to give a shoutout to Alta our florist and Holly our old coordinator from CCR who continued to show up for us through the chaos. My takeaway now that it’s all said and done is that sometimes bad things happen to lead us to something better. Thank you Michelle and the fam at Wishing Well, thank you!
