    Venue

    Enchanted Ranch was a beautiful and spacious venue for our wedding. The staff was great and very helpful throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. We were a little disappointed to find that the benches outside during the ceremony had been changed from what we had initially discussed, but overall the space itself was lovely. The value we received for the rental fee was excellent, and we would recommend Enchanted Ranch to other couples looking for a charming and accommodating wedding venue.

    We had an amazing experience with Enchanted Ranch, Colby, Penjo, and Ken and all of the staff that helped set up and bartend were fantastic. We had some major issues with our photographer but Penjo handled it amazingly. Colby helped the day go smoothly aside from the delays caused by the photographer issues. And they were so accommodating when we had minor changes to the timeline as the day went on. Her and Colby were truly so amazing and helped my wedding day go so smoothly. Ken was so easy to work with and helped us get everything set up exactly how we wanted it. My mom handled the bar with some upgrades and we were able to get some additions that everyone enjoyed. Their custom cocktails were also fantastic!! Aside from some super minor issues with seating availability, that were resolved in minutes, and a few things totally out of their control, the day was amazing and I'm so glad we picked them for our wedding day. Highly recommend this venue and their staff!!!

We're thrilled to hear that Colby, Penjo, Ken, and our entire team helped make your wedding day special. While we're sorry you experienced challenges with your photographer, we're glad Penjo and Colby were able to step in, adapt to the changes, and help keep everything moving smoothly. That's exactly what we're here for. It means a lot to hear that the planning process with Ken was easy and that we were able to bring your vision to life. We're also happy everyone enjoyed the bar upgrades and custom cocktails—those personal touches can make a celebration even more memorable. Thank you as well for your patience with the minor seating issue. We're glad it was resolved quickly so you could get back to enjoying your day.

    (Translated by Google) The place is beautiful. (Original) El lugar es hermoso

From 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with your event ending one hour early so that time can be used for teardown, cleanup, and load-out. Additional hours are available for $300 per hour.
Many vendors can be your own vendors like catering, cakes, and photography, etc. The exception would be drinks and alcohol. Enchanted Ranch has a license to sell mixed beverages so all drinks and bartending come through Enchanted Ranch. We also offer special package pricing if you use our DJ and/or event coordination.
Yes. We have plenty of space for a food truck as well as a great space to have an outdoor BBQ going. We have had many events where they barbequed the meals right on site.
No. We will do that for you based on your designed floor plan. The final floor plan is due (3) days before the event. We will also take care of putting away all chairs and tables as well! Each vendor is responsible to clean up and tear down what they bring to the party.
Yes. We love our four-legged furry friends. You would need to have a person in charge of watching them and cleaning up after them, but they make great ring bearers for your wedding!
There are no hideen or "gotcha fees" with Enchanted Ranch. We do hold a credit card on file for incidental damages up to $1500. To reserve your date is only $1500 that is applied towards your total invoice.
For the most part we are very flexibile, however, there are a couple of things that we will have a hard time allowing: Fireworks (exit sparklers are ok) Chinese floating laterns Any fake flowers including flower pedals for flower person. Only real flowers can be used outside for decorations or ceremony. Fake flowers indoors is fine. Confetti or glitter of any kind including canon or Mexican eggs Rice Gum or chewy candy
No, but highly recommended. We have learned through experience that every event has curve balls that can derail an event. Having that experience coordination is a pro at hitting curve balls and can help save an event so that your event goes as smooth as possible and is worry-free for you. We offer in-house coordination that is familiar with our property and is extremely affordable and highly recommended.
The initial reservation fee or deposit is non-refundable. We use that to hold your date just for you and nobody else. The total amount is due no later than (30) days before your event.
