From the reviews

10/10 would recommend CWR for your wedding!!! Christine was so patient and accommodating. She made our wedding and reception seamless! She even made me & my husband a plate while we were taking pictures so we would have a chance to sit down and eat.

We had our wedding here, and it was absolutely gorgeous! It is such an incredible venue, and Chris is such a sweetheart! She made sure we were taken care of the whole time, while still letting us have our privacy! I definitely recommend this beautiful place for formal events!

★★★★★ — Jade, May 2024

Great place for weddings or events. The grounds are excellent and beautifully rustic. There is plenty of space for all the needs of your event and photos for your memories. The pond is a great place to unwind or fish. Was very impressed with the entire experience.

Getting married at Civil War Ranch

Civil War Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
