From the reviews

Son Ray Ranch was awesome with very accessible opening for equipment set up. The kitchen area with bathrooms were nicely placed. The venue holds a very clean and crisp country look. With perfect and ample parking this venue is set for a laid back country vibe.

★★★★★ — Keith, Dec 2022

I love working events at the Son Wray Ranch. It really is a wonderful large venue especially the outdoor ceremony space. I do have a few things to note however. There is no wifi not even for b&g or vendors like djs, All the outlets are at chest hight which is awkward. The floor is uneven.

★★★★★ — Brian, Apr 2026

Enjoyed a family wedding and reception at Son Wray. Everything was great, from the setting, ample parking, kitchen and the open room. The owners certainly have a well thought- out offering and supply the basics (like tables and chairs) so you only have to think about bringing the finishing touches.
