Clean, the staff was great. The catered food was delicious. The restrooms were clean. The dining area was gorgeous. The chandeliers were a beautiful touch. The lawn area was very well maintained and enjoyable with fire pits at each seating area outside.
We held our 100 person wedding here in October. The venue was amazing from start to finish, particularly Leslie who is the most amazing event planner. The food was phenomenal, the bar service was flawless, and the room set ups were perfect. I would whole heartedly recommend River Ranch for your next event. Particularly great venue if you are having a lot of out of towners and you want a Texan flair
