John S. Married on 05/14/2022Amazing wedding weekend experience
Having a wedding at Circle Bar B was such an amazing experience. The staff was so friendly and hospitable throughout our stay. For example, the head chef was very accommodating with my wife's food allergies. The food was amazing, some of the best food I've had at a wedding. Kathy (the owner) and other staff members welcomed all our guests and made everyone feel like they could relax and enjoy their time. Having our friends and family stay on site for the weekend was so fun. Staying overnight made all the difference because that gave us and our guests the opportunity to reconnect outside of a single busy night. We all enjoyed the pool, game room, horseback riding, and gorgeous open space in general. The ranch is beautiful and we didn't even have to decorate because of all the greenery and views. We had the time of our lives and we would choose Circle Bar B again in a heartbeat if we were to do it over again. We are so grateful to Kathy and the rest of Circle Bar B staff. Thank you so much!! -

Leah L. Married on 09/18/2020absolutely amazing
I couldn't be happier with choosing to have our wedding here. We were looking for a venue where our friends and family could stay and with flexibility on how we spent the night. Additionally, we wanted AMAZING FOOD. Bar B delivered on all fronts. I absolutely love this place and want to go back both as a couple and also to hopefully have another event in the future. Kathy and the whole team are fantastic. They really know how to throw a good party and be amazing hosts. 11/10 recommend -

A dream come true at the Circle Bar B Ranch!
After postponing our originally scheduled wedding in 2020, Kathy and her entire team at the Circle Bar B Ranch worked with us to pull off our dream wedding in 2021. We cannot say enough positive things about the space, the experience, and the staff. From the food to the property and even the bartenders, the Circle Bar B Ranch went above and beyond our expectations to take great care of us and all of our guests. This is such a special property and we look forward to going back and celebrating future milestones there together. -
