This outdoor venue was everything we hoped for. It was absolutely gorgeous, everyone was amazingly helpful and friendly, especially Annette! We were able to rent the venue for the entire weekend so we didn't have to stress about setting up and taking down. I had a very DIY wedding and was grateful for all the small details Rock Lake Ranch put into creating this space (plugs in the ceiling out of sight, heaters (it was 27 degrees the night of our wedding) and every measurement for every square inch of their space. The day of they worked with our coordinator closely and everything moved seamlessly. I could not have been happier, this place is amazing.

I think the venue speaks for itself as far as beauty. What you can't see by just visiting is the passion that the owners have for getting the details right. As mother of the bride, I flooded RLR with questions, and never felt I was being a bother, and always felt the support from Annette. She's extremely professional, as is her husband, and they work hard to deliver on the promise of a wonderful wedding day. The venue is well thought out, with the bride being secluded from the groom until the ceremony, the use of stone in the pathways is lovely, and the cleanliness of the facility is very impressive. We had a windy day, but the rain held off, and we greatly appreciate the efforts of RLR in making my daughter's day so special.

We considered many venues for our daughters wedding. The moment we stepped on to Rock Lake Ranch and met Annette.....well , it was a " no brainer ". The property is absolutely beautiful. We immediately booked the event. Annette and her husband ,Mike, helped guide us through all of the arrangements and were there with us tending to all the little details that made the wedding day perfect. It was evident that they take a personal interest in making sure that your event is everything you dreamed it would be. We cannot be more pleased with how things turned out and would enthusiastically recommend Rock Lake Ranch for your special event.

Rock Lake Ranch is incredible! The grounds are beautiful and the staff is AMAZING! Annette (the owner) is prepared for anything and everything and made sure our day went off without a hitch. She was involved in the rehearsal, helping with timing and such. On our wedding day it rained, which is typically disaterous for an outdoor venue. They moved everything under cover and really handled everything! We were able to actually enjoy our wedding day instead of stressing about details. HIGHLY recommend!

I highly recommend Rock Lake Ranch for your Special Day. From Jerry showing us the venue, to owners attending to our every need, and Jen checking to see if anything else would be needed, upon packing and departure. I can not express our deepest thanks and gratitude to Mike and Annette for making our Daughters wedding day so special. It was nice that they had a list of vendors who routinely work with that made things go much smoother. (for I the MOB am not from the Brazos Valley area and going to the Brazos Valley Bridal Show this was very helpful.)

Everyone at Rock Lake Ranch was extremely nice, we worked closely with Barbara, who was amazing- but Annette and Jerry were always available to help us if needed. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and they provide tables and chairs (as well as set them out) which was a huge plus. A month later, friends and family are still talking about how perfect the venue was for our wedding day. RLR is the best!

The Rock Lake Ranch staff was such a blessing! They allowed us to arrive earlier to the venue than schedule without extra charges and helped with any questions or concerns we had. Very professional! The setting was perfect! Our pictures have turned out better than I ever expected and that is in part to the gorgeous scenery this venue provides! I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else! Very reasonably priced and worth every penny! The vendors even let us use any decorations they already had at no extra charge :) I would recommend RLR to anyone. They helped make my wedding be stress free and perfect

Rock Lake Ranch was the best decision my wife and I could have made for our venue. The landscape is beautiful. The lake and dock is amazing. They also have a firepit that is a great hang out spot. The staff is courteous, professional, and personal. They made sure to give us a checklist of things, and they even helped us with our last minute changes due to rain. We signed with them over a year and a half out, and they contacted us throughout that whole time. They made sure to let us know that we weren't forgotten, even though we had signed well in advance.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
