Gorgeous venue

Sally and Becky were so welcoming and the ranch is absolutely gorgeous. We had our wedding 5/15/22 and have gotten so many compliments on the venue. Sally let us view the ranch multiple times for planning purposes and was very prompt when communicating.

A Secret Garden - Most Memorable Venue

When it comes to McCormick Home Ranch, I am speechless. The natural beauty, the spacious different areas that make up the property, and the "father-of-the-bride"-esque house make for such a unique and memorable venue. My now husband and I just hosted a 180-person wedding here on May 21st, 2022 and we could not have asked for a more magical venue to get married at. Our guests, even days later, cannot stop raving about it. Their instagrams were filled with phrases that imply the beauty of this venue and they are not lying. Sally is amazing to work with, and Becky, who handles all rentals, is the same. Every time we stepped onto that property pre-wedding we were always in awe. It was somehow even more beautiful on wedding weekend. The natural beauty of the venue allowed us to save on florals and decor. The jacaranda trees were in bloom, the ease of flowing from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception was so easy, the sheep were a hit among the guests, and it's just so unexpected! When you're driving, you do not expect to be turning into a secret oasis garden! I wish I could post 1000 photos of this venue but they just don't do justice. If you're looking for a place that allows BYOB, bring your own food, and just an amazing experience for you and your guests, look no further than McCormick Home Ranch!

Beautiful Ranch Wedding

McCormick was the first venue my husband and I looked at for our wedding and we knew immediately that it was the right spot. It’s beautiful. And then to see it all come together on the day of our wedding... we could not have been happier. Sally and Becky Mccormick was so pleasant and easy to work with. Sally is so flexible about bringing in vendors and has collected such a great list of recommended vendors that she provides. Becky helped us with all decor and rentals and they were all there ready to go the day of.

My husband and I were married here October 2016 and since the wedding everyone has said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to - their words, not mine =). We had a small unassuming 110 guests and they truly brought the vision for our wedding to life! This was the only venue we seriously considered and we booked the venue in July 2015 for an October 2016 wedding. We hired the on-site Ranch Coordinator who happens to be Sally's daughter-in-law Becky McCormick and she left no detail unplanned throughout our wedding planning process. There are so many options for you to utilize to customize your wedding. The property has so many rustic nooks and crannies for the most amazing photos and visual delights for your guests to enjoy. With such a small guest count, we had our hearts set on a food station format to encourage mingling and noshing as opposed to a buffet or sit-down meal. Though they never had a request for this format before, they were delighted to work with us and did an excellent job planning the layout for the optimal reception experience. All in all, I placed my trust in the venue and their team and everyone, including my husband and I were blown away by the quality, attention to detail and the personal touches to make our big day special. Thank you McCormick! Cannot recommend you enough!

McCormick Home Ranch is a hidden gem. We had our wedding there in September and our guests are still talking about how much they loved the venue! It's full of natural beauty with an intimate feel. We had 150 guests with plenty of room for more. Sally is great to work with and was very responsive to any questions along the way of planning.

We had our wedding here in May of 2016 and absolutely love this venue. Sally the owner is very kind, friendly and responds to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. The home and surrounding areas (such as the garden, back patio, front lawn and barn) are all gorgeous and well maintained. The venue has a large changing room for the bride and her bridesmaids and the groom and groomsmen, which was great for storing the bridal parties items the day of the wedding. There are three distinct areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception which was a nice feature. You can bring in your own alcohol as long as a licensed bar tender serves it and you can choose your own catering company. It is very hard to find a venue that allows you to do both of those things and in the end this will help you save a ton of money. The venue had a very reasonable site fee compared to other venues in the area. This place is a hidden gem and all of our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue and they loved it. The venue is all outdoors and the restrooms are the "fancy portable toilets" that do flush and have sinks in them. I would highly reccomend this venue to any future bride or groom.

Becky was amazing! I could not have done it without her. She was flexible, communicative, and creative. She helped me keep calm and was instrumental the wedding process and day of. Becky helped make my vision come true. Becky was also assisted by Cassie who was so helpful and hard working especially on the day of the wedding. These ladies rock!!!

Our wedding was beautiful and this venue was a major part of that. It was so nice to be able to have the venue all day so we weren't rushed to set up. The venue is also pretty affordable compared to similar type venues and it was really convenient to be able to do our rentals through Sally, she even has decoration type rentals which is nice so you don't have to buy things that you're never going to use again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
