Question

Why three days? Why the Ranch?

Answer

We are blessed beyond measure to be loved by so many people near and far. We could not think of a better way to celebrate the beginning of the rest of ours lives, than to surround ourselves with our friends and family for a long wedding weekend. Moon River Ranch is a very special place that will provide the most perfect environment- conducive of laughing, making memories, and **most importantly** spending this time loving each other.

Question

What should I bring?

Answer

You should bring your swimsuit, attire for outdoor activities, sun screen, and any entertainment equipment you would like! If you think it would be fun, we say bring it! There will plenty of room for football, cornhole, ect. We are encouraging guests to bring a cooler and any alcoholic beverages, if desired, to keep in your room to consume in the time leading up to Saturday. We hope you’ll participate in our rehearsal dinner, aka Foley Fiesta. Dressing in sombreros, serape, and all things embroidered will be applauded. The wedding may be on a ranch, but we would prefer if you would consider cocktail attire instead of overalls for the ceremony. However, we want you to be comfortable!

Question

What do I need to know about on-site lodging at Moon River Ranch?

Answer

When choosing a venue for our wedding, our biggest requirement was enough space to sleep as many people as we possibly could on-site. Our second biggest requirement was finding an environment that would best allow our loved ones to make memories, relax, laugh, and love each other. Our dream wedding includes taking full advantage of this once in a life time opportunity- a chance to have everyone we love most in life together, in one place, at one time. Moon River Ranch is very special to us, because it will allow this dream to come true. The Ranch can lodge approximately 60 guests. Reservations will be made on a first come first serve basis and those staying all three nights will be made a priority. We ask that you read the following lodging information carefully. Please remember, we want nothing more than to make everyone happy, while keeping everyone together.
