History

The ranch has been a working ranch since 1860, having passed through six generations of the same Stewart family. They have taken pride in the property and, just over the last few decades, have decided to expand it with the Inn. The Inn opened in 1998 for their first wedding, and they have since added quite a bit to create the lavish venue that is there now. They love sharing the heritage and breathtaking scenery of the countryside with couples who are entering such a beautiful time of their lives.

Beyond my expectations!!

Circle S Ranch is a MUST VISIT location!! Whether you are planning a wedding, a family reunion, or just need to get away from the city and breathe in some fresh air! Mary and her crew were beyond hospitable. From day one in our wedding planning adventure to our big day, they made us feel like we were family! Their cozy Inn housed 34 of our immediate family members and wedding party, and there were still beds unused! The beautifully presented meals that this down to earth team prepared for us were absolutely delicious and well planned! We will definitely visit Circle S Ranch again! Might be our anniversary spot!

Great experience

Mary helped us have a perfect wedding weekend! They helped with every request we had and made amazing food. They’re very nice and accommodating and replied very quickly whenever I had questions. They were our venue, caterer, rehearsal, and hotel for our immediate family and wedding party.

A Wish Come True

Perfect stress free wedding

We booked the entire ranch for our daughters wedding in March. They wanted to get married quickly and on the anniversary of the date they met. With only 3 months to plan a wedding we were a bit worried about getting everything done. Mary took care of everything, food, decor, Diane did the spectacular flowers. Since it was an early March wedding the decision was made to have the ceremony in the barn. The bride and groom really wanted to make the barn feel more intimate and romantic which Mary and her team accomplished. We checked in Friday and were able to relax and enjoy the ranch. The wedding party spent the day horseback riding and taking longhorn tours. We had a great rehearsal followed by an intimate dinner in the great room by the huge fireplace. Later that night we had a bonfire and s'mores. The wedding day was so relaxing. They fed us breakfast and lunch while we were getting ready. The groom wanted to add some of his Dominican heritage to the reception dinner and Mary and her team didn't hesitate to make that happen. After the reception we were able to go back to the house where there was a late night snack waiting for us. Sunday morning they served us breakfast as we packed up and headed out. It was such a joyful experience. Everyone has gone out of their way to tell us this was one of the best weddings they have ever attended.

Amazing Destination Venue!

My brother was recently married at the Circle S Ranch, and it was the most magical weekend we could have ever imagined! The staff was amazing and helped us with whatever we needed, from extra food to sewing kits! They are family and pet friendly, and there was nothing that was overlooked! The food was delicious, and the wedding was breathtaking! If you are looking for a local destination wedding where your family can all stay together in an amazing 12 bedroom country Inn right on the property and have farm to table food, there is no other place than Circle S! You will not be disappointed!

One of the best venues I've been to. There are so many amazing natural backdrops, sun-lit prairies, and fuzzy animals. It's just downright a photographer's dream. Theresa is great to work with. She is super accommodating. If you love the outdoors and you want an amazing place to gather with your family and friends, this is your place! What a gem.
