Truly couldn’t have been better.

Me and my fiance are from LA and wanted to have our wedding in Texas under the solar eclipse. We had dreamed of this day for 8 years but planning the wedding for 18 months. So we wanted it to be perfect. We booked the venue before even seeing it in person because we were in LA. When we made the trip to see it it was better than we expected. It was perfect and Carol was so kind.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding. Everything went better than we had hoped and it was perfect. We enjoyed every second of our wedding thanks to Carol and Willem. Even our guest couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the venue was and how helpful Carol and Willem were.
The venue was also so beautiful and huge. It was perfect. We had some friends stay on the property and they all loved the river and everything. Couldn’t have dreamed of a better venue.

Absolutely perfect!!!!

King River Ranch is WONDERFUL!! The site is absolutely gorgeous, has everything needed for day-of and overnight accommodations, and the staff is AMAZING! Seriously, I would change nothing. Amy's coordination left nothing to be desired; she is super organized and so easy to work with! I felt so lost when I started, and she made the process so easy! The hair & makeup/dressing area for the girls is awesome and has a nice calming view of the river. The guys' area is very comfortable, as well, with plenty of stuff to entertain them throughout the day. Wish I could relive the day there over and over again!!

For an unforgettable, beautiful wedding day, choose King River Ranch!

I am so happy that we had our wedding at King River Ranch. It was absolutely perfect. Amy was amazing and helpful all the way, and the location could not have been more beautiful.

First of all, it made such a different to be able to stay at the ranch for the two days leading up to the wedding. We were able to do most of the decorating before the rehearsal, and for a DIY couple like us, having the extra time made our actual wedding day stress-free. We were also able to enjoy some really special time with friends and family who came from far away by having the extra time there.

The ceremony space was beautiful - all our guests had something positive to say about the beautiful grounds. The barn was beautiful and spacious, and overall we couldn’t have been happier with how the day went.

The last comment I have is about the awesome animals at the ranch! If you love animals, consider have your wedding day here. Our families and friends’ kids loved feeding the goats, horses, and ponies, and we got some great wedding photos with Cooper, the white horse.

Choose King River Ranch for your wedding - you won’t be disappointed!

You don't need to star in a Disney movie to feel like a princess, KRR will take care of that for your wedding day!

To put it simply, King River Ranch will make your Texan/ranch wedding fairy tale come true. My husband and I visited numerous ranches in the Texas Hill Country to find the perfect venue for the day we say "I do". When we arrived at KRR, David was so welcoming and friendly we were immediately comfortable and couldn't wait to hear details and take our tour. Words cannot describe how wonderful the team is at this venue and how their attention to detail is truly just impeccable. The venue is designed for the perfect wedding from how the ceremony site faces the river for the perfect sunset behind you while you say your vows, to the absolutely breath taking bridal suite and lounge for the day-of rituals, not to mention your reception will feel like something out of a bridal magazine with how beautifully ornate its designs are even before your florals and decor. David and his two sons did all of our florals and decor; I don't know how else to describe it other than magical. We had also hired Amy from Avenue Q Consulting out of KRR as our wedding coordinator and we couldn't have made a better decision. She knows the venue like the back of her hand, and is not only the sweetest person you'll get to know, but she is ALWAYS on her game with vendors. Amy will keep your mind at ease and keep you calm for your big day! KRR will accomodate to your every need and make you feel like you aren't just getting married there but that you've become part of their family. Our guests are still talking about how incredible and beautiful our wedding was and it's all because of the team at King River Ranch. Now that KRR has lodging on site (it wasn't quite ready for our wedding), I know my husband and I want to gather up some friends and stay there for another weekend to enjoy the scenery/wine country and get to see Amy again! Couldn't recommend King River Ranch enough, it will just make all of your dreams come true for your perfect wedding day.

This was, is, and always will be, without a doubt, the best venue I could ever imagine. When we first started wedding planning, we had a list of FORTY venues that we looked into, researched, stalked reviews for, and we ultimately ended up touring 8 venues. In our spreadsheet, we had a 'First Impressions' column, in which I wrote, for KRR, 'I LOVE THIS PLACE AND WANT TO MARRY IT!' Once I visited the ranch, I put down my Google machine, and said 'THIS IS IT.' I am from Texas, and my fiancé is from the East Coast, and we wanted a venue that was 'Texas' but also classy, and man-oh-man did KRR deliver.

David Hahn is the dream venue owner; he will tell you that you will not be worrying about ANYTHING on your wedding day on their end, and you won't believe it, because HOW can that be real, and then the wedding day will come, and the only stress will be about the fact that your father, the father of the bride, somehow forgot to bring his pants to the wedding day (true story). I have no idea if anything went wrong on the day of our wedding, but believe me, if it did, it was immediately fixed and I was none the wiser.

My family and friends could not stop gushing about the scenery, and I heard from more than one person that 'every picture [they] took with an iPhone looked like it belonged in a magazine'.

I have so many amazing feelings about King River Ranch, and every single person who works there. If you have any questions about whether you should book here, please contact me. Booking this venue was THE easiest and best decision of my wedding planning (minus picking my hunky groom, that is).

I am not even sure where to begin. Our wedding day was PERFECT and I owe a lot of that credit to David Hahn (venue owner) and his staff. From the moment we pulled into the ranch for our first tour we knew that this was going to be the place we were going to get married. The ranch is so beautiful and absolutely breathtaking (and there are cute animals too). David provided us with more guidance than we could have ever hoped for. He answered every question that I had (and I have a lot of them) without hesitation, even if it had nothing to do with the venue. Not to mention he was also our florist and did an AMAZING job. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue with an amazing staff, you owe it to yourself to at least check it out. I would recommend this place 10 times out of 10. So thankful we chose The King River Ranch for our wedding venue.

This venue was absolutely the best! What a magical evening at KRR, the wedding was perfect thanks to David and Willem! The ceremony site, King Barn, and the house for the wedding party to get ready, allowed us to have such a memorable day. Beautiful setting on the Perdernales river with breathtaking views, provided the perfect setting for our special day. Hands down the best venue in the hill country!

David and his team at KRR were wonderful to work with in every way. As a pastor for over 30 years I had a heightened level of expectation now as the father of the bride who was also doing the service. KRR delivered in every level. Trust is a word often tossed around lightly in our shallow world today, but KRR displays an "Old School" style of trustworthiness. We traveled over 400 miles to be with family that drove in from Houston and Dallas so the trust we placed in David over the phone was well placed. We are still revelling in the joy of the event and venue days later.

This is a wonderful venue with beautiful, rugged scenery and the pictures on the website are what you will see in person (according to the season of course).

I cannot say enough good things about KRR! I have been in many venues over the years and nobody has done it better than KRR!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We loved getting to work out at King River Ranch for florals and rentals, the quiet country location makes for a great event! They have the perfect reception area that gives you a barn feel that you customize to your style!

The ultimate gorgeous Hill Country barn! This is no ordinary barn, but lighted by chandeliers, a sparkling pond in front, Hill Country hills rolling away, and then a river really runs through it! King River Ranch is magical, and the creative force behind it, is a joy to work and design with! This is definitely the premier wedding destination venue nestled not too far from Austin or Fredericksburg!
