“I can’t say enough about how stunning this reception hall is! The photos truly don’t do it justice, it’s even more breathtaking in person.

They were incredibly helpful, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. Their friendliness and attention to detail made us feel so welcome. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, charm, and top-notch service, this is it. Highly recommend!

“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.”

“Beth and Chris are truly the heart and soul of what made our wedding so special. From the moment we booked our venue last December to our wedding day in June, they made everything feel effortless, personal, and full of warmth. Both are incredibly kind, organized, and attentive—always going above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. Their team did a flawless job bringing our vision to life; every photo, décor piece, and little touch was placed perfectly. We especially loved how thoughtful they were in allowing our sweet pup, Hershey, to be part of our pictures outside the venue—it meant so much to us! The entire day flowed beautifully, our guests had the best time, and everything was coordinated to perfection. We are endlessly grateful to Beth and Chris for making our wedding day as magical and memorable as we had always dreamed.”
