A Perfect Weekend

We booked Marriott Ranch about a year in advance. We did the weekend package so our whole bridal party could stay together on site. We worked with Stephanie and when she left, Jordan took over a few months before the wedding. It made me nervous.

I had no reason to be, Jordan and his staff were absolutely amazing. They were communicative and organized. Our wedding went literally perfectly, not a single thing went wrong and it was due to their professionalism. The food is amazing, easily the best wedding food I've ever had and multiple people mentioned it to me. We loved the house, the wedding site by the tree, and the reception pavilion. I also felt like it was a really good value and very fairly priced. We did our rehearsal dinner there as well and it was gorgeous and excellent. I feel incredibly blessed to have been married at Marriott Ranch and I would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing Wedding Experience

We had such an amazing time at the Marriott Ranch for our wedding weekend! First, Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She gave us a tour, arranged our tasting, and answered our many questions before the wedding. We really appreciated how kind and helpful she was, and the entire wedding day went incredibly smoothly. The rest of the Marriott staff members were excellent too. Andrea, the innkeeper, made sure that we and our families were taken care of; everyone who stayed there really appreciated it. Second, we chose the Marriott Ranch because of its incredible views. We fell in love with the property when we first visited. The mountain views were fantastic during our rehearsal dinner and on our wedding day. We especially loved how our sunset photos turned out with the mountains in the distance. Finally, the food was excellent (everyone loved the rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner), and the waitstaff and bar staff did a great job. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Outstanding!!

I honestly have no words for how fantastic this venue was. Stephanie was always so attenuative and answered the many many questions my mom and I had. The staff were all so great and respectful. The food was so delicious and the drinks as well! The view, doesn't get any better. It did rain on our wedding day but there was a back up plan and it still turned out so beautiful. Would 1000 percent recommend this venue!

Looking for a special venue for my daughters wedding and celebration!

We began shopping for a wedding venue over 1 year ago and happen to find this hidden gem, the Marriott Ranch in Hume, Virginia. I recall the Saturday, we were out visiting 2 scheduled appointments in Haymarket and in Front Royal and decided to take a back road home to decompress and think about all the venues in mind for the celebration and big day. There were many places, a solid 2 in consideration, some far, others near home base.

We happen to stumble onto the back side of the Marriott Ranch, and paid a short visit to the location, thinking it wasn't really possible. Immediately, the bride and groom fell in love with the place, and so we set an appointment to understand the logistics, costs, and availability. Working with Stephanie initially and throughout the year, she was patient, kind, and timely with information and communication, knowing the emotion on such a day!

I found confirmation with many, saying the Marriott Ranch is/was the place for a wedding or corporate event...they have many activities to accommodate most or all requests for guests and visitors alike, from jeeping, horseback riding, and more!! I now join the ranks to recommend the Marriott Ranch, along with their hotel chains as being the best in the business of hospitality, lodging, and food!!!

Thank you, Stephanie and Marriott, for all your hard work in pulling off such a wonderful day...thanks for making the sunshine break through the clouds...yes, miracles can happen on rainy days!!!

Fantastic, Affordable, Gorgeous Venue

Stephanie at Marriott Ranch is phenomenal! She and her team were perfect from the very first meeting to the last guest leaving on the wedding day... EVERYTHING they did with the highest levels of service and attention to detail. The venue is in a spectacular and easy to access location, with breathtaking views, affordable menus, overnight accommodations, etc. If you are looking for a turnkey solution, THIS is your place, and it fit our budget!! If you are shopping for venues, go visit Marriott Ranch and see what all they have to offer, they will work with you, so don't just go off the info on the website... have an actual conversation with Stephanie, tell her your vision and they will bring it all to fruition for you!!!

Amazing Wedding Venue & Experience

My husband and I found the Ranch during the 2020 pandemic. Despite that, they were able to meet with us and plan an amazing October 2021 wedding. Louise was so responsive, so kind, and has years of experience to help navigate the details and day of planning. Everything felt like southern charm and like "home." The process leading up to the wedding was seamless. They were flexible and patient as we made changes along the way. Day of, it RAINED, but that did not stop them from seeing what I as the bride wanted and making the day still amazing and seamless. All of the staff was there to help myself, the wedding party, and guests any moment. I could not have asked for a better day.

We booked the whole weekend and it was SO worth it. To have those rooms, meals with each other, and just the ease of getting ready the day of, highly recommend.

I cannot say enough great things about the entire team. And the photos, WOW is that venue amazing for dreamy photos. :)

Perfect Venue for our Rehearsal Dinner - All Marriott Staff were excellent

We were so thrilled with the Marriott Ranch as a place to hold the rehearsal dinner for the bride and groom. We had to plan the event from out of state and did not actually see the venue until the day before the event, so we were somewhat apprehensive about how things would turn out. All we can say is that things went perfectly; the venue was beautiful, the staff at the event were incredibly helpful, and Stephanie, who coordinated things for the Marriott was a gem - when she said something would get done, it got done, and done right. The Marriott Ranch is in a beautiful part of the country and we would recommend it as either a rehearsal dinner or wedding venue.

So gorgeous

I am so glad my husband and I chose The Marriott Ranch as our wedding venue. The Marriott Ranch is just gorgeous and we love their on site accommodations. Our guests were raving about the rustic feel, beautiful scenery, and delicious food. Having the ranch also cater the wedding food made the whole process easier and they were great about having vegetarian options. Additionally, the ranch worked seamlessly with our vendors like photographer (Sarah Botta Photography) and wedding cake provider (Sweet Pearlz Cheesecakes). Their coordinator, Louise, Ramsey, is just lovely. She answered all of my questions and made sure that everything ran smoothly from our first meeting through our wedding weekend. Louise was adamant that a bride should be relaxed on her wedding day, which was much appreciated. I would strongly recommend The Marriott Ranch for those looking for a fantastic, friendly, and BEAUTIFUL wedding venue for any season, especially fall. Our wedding was picture perfect and we couldn't be happier with our venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
