From the reviews

Stunning property. The staff does a phenomenal job at keeping up with both the animals as well as the overall condition of the facility. I was there for a wedding and was very impressed by their attention to detail and warm hospitality.

★★★★★ — Kendra, Nov 2019

This is one of my favorite wedding venues in the Hill Country! It’s elegantly stunning with picturesque views at every turn, as well as friendly horses and native wildflowers. And the owner, David, puts his heart and soul into making wedding days unforgettable. King River Ranch is truly one-of-a-kind!

★★★★★ — Allison, Nov 2017

WHAT A FANTASTIC VENUE! Seriously!!! I'm a wedding photographer and pretty much am willing to sell my soul to shoot here all the time! The owner is probably one of the most accommodating venue owners of all time. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Jen, Jul 2017

Where do I even begin. We are from the UK and booked King River Ranch for our elopement without ever seeing it in person — and it was genuinely one of the best decisions we have ever made in our lives. From the very first conversation, Aidan and David made us feel so incredibly welcomed and at ease.

Getting married at King River Ranch

King River 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.
