The 1st First Dance at the First Dance Ranch

Our daughter had her wedding here on 9/21/24. The views are breathtaking. The house is stunning. There were deer and hawks adding to the natural scenery. Incredibly accommodating for a day or a longer stay. Amazing kitchen for the caterer. Great people to work with. We could not be happier. Highly recommend!
