Beautiful Wedding Backdrop!!

Loved this venue for my wedding!! Amanda, the day of coordinator was wonderful! I really hope they don't change the ceremony site too much with their plans this summer. The mountain backdrop with the trees just made my day absolutely perfect!!

Value & Excellence!

I cannot say enough about this venue! The property and views are gorgeous and enough to make your decision. But, the perks included in the packages are priceless. The lodge is so pretty with minimal decorations and great mountain views. The decor closet, stocked with tons of candle holders, easel, backdrop props, grass picture wall, etc., is included in the rental price. The staff quickly and seamlessly flips any rooms needed that may serve a dual purpose. And the coordinator, Stacy, is OUT OF THIS WORLD and is also included in the rental price. Stacy is quick to respond to questions and her coordination the day of the wedding is impeccable. She generally anticipated any questions we had and it is obvious she has tons of experience in coordinating weddings. My daughter got married here this past weekend. The plan was for her to get married outside on the hilltop but mother nature had different plans. I can tell you, the alternate plan of getting married in the lodge where the reception would later be was just as amazing as if we were able to do it outside. Flipping the room was flawless! I HIGHLY recommend this venue!

Beautiful Location, Great Facilities

We chose R-Ranch in the Mountains for many reasons - it's ready to go - already set up for beautiful weddings. They had a huge decor closet full of gear you can use. The bridal suite and the groom's suite were huge and well prepared. They offered many areas for the ceremony, and the rain plan was so simple! The best part was the venue coordinator, Stacy, who communicated well, has a lot of experience, and knows how to get things done! She is a professional who takes care of everyone!

R-Ranch Wedding

I could write an essay on how I cannot recommend this venue and their coordinator enough! Stacey was the most amazing coordinator who truly made our day so perfect. She was so responsive and flexible with any request we had and made every detail perfect for us. I will never stop complimenting her!

The venue itself is more beautiful than words can describe. Though not much decor was needed, there was more than enough on site for us to use thanks to previous couples. Being able to access the venue the day before to set up any details we planned outside of the R-Ranch staff setting up our chairs, linens and tables was so helpful and not something you are able to find in many wedding venues. If you have your wedding or rehearsal here, you won’t have any regrets and will likely leave a similar glowing review.

As a bonus, there are even very affordable places to stay on site!

Our Experience at "R Ranch"

Can't give this place enough stars! All the way up until the day of the wedding everything was a breeze. Stacy, the assigned wedding coordinator is just beyond fabulous! She's so attentive, on top of her game, and is always there for any questions. It rained on my wedding day & Stacy handled it like a pro and made everything so easy! I can't recommend this place more!

A beautiful gem in the mountains of Dahlonega!

From the beautiful mountains to the amazing lodge! Stacey is the best wedding coordinator I have ever seen! She helped to make our daughter’s wedding day perfect! R Ranch is beautifully tucked in the mountains of Dahlonega. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

Everything you could want in a venue AND MORE!

If you want to have a beautiful, simple, cost friendly, and elegant mountain wedding, you MUST book at R-Ranch! My husband and I fell in love with this gorgeous venue upon first glance because the view says it all. The reception room is the perfect size for any wedding but especially if you want a more intimate and personal feel. We had about 90 guests and it was perfect! Stacy is absolutely incredible in every way. She is on top of everything with vendors & so pleasant to work with. She made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more on our wedding day! She was serving everyone anywhere she could whether it was getting drinks for guests, checking on family members, serving food, everything!! Not to mention, they have a whole room of decor and accessories that you can use if you need it which is a great way to save money and not buy all your own decor. I would 100% recommend R-Ranch if you want an outdoorsy but still elegant and beautiful venue.

Awesome Experience February wedding!

Very professional and helpful team of coordinators. Beautiful property, and affordable! I loved that we were able to use any of the decorations they had, and that the price of the venue also comes with a wedding coordinator you can meet with a month before the wedding.

Stacy was our coordinator and she was wonderful! She was so helpful when it came to logistics of the ceremony and finalizing what we wanted our decor to look like. She helped us figure all of that out, and she was so fast responding as well when we needed her or had questions about decor. They also give you a list of recommended vendors when you secure your spot with them which was sooo helpful for finding a caterer! Overall I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a North Georgia wedding in a heartbeat. It’s hard to find a place where you feel like the staff really cares about your wedding and wants you to have a great day, and doesn’t just care about the money. Thank you, R-Ranch, and thank you Stacy!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
