Highly Recommend, Shelby is Amazing!

If you are considering booking a wedding at Safari Texas Ranch, you need to work with Shelby! From our very first meeting to the flawless execution of our big day, she provided amazing support and unparalleled flexibility. Whether we were navigating the initial venue booking process or finalizing the specific details of our catering menus, Shelby was there guiding us every step of the way. She consistently maintained a wonderfully positive attitude and was always genuinely willing to jump in and help wherever she could. Because of her dedication and hard work, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough—she is absolutely amazing!

They went above and beyond

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue experience. From the very beginning, Shelby (the manager/planner) and Allison (the owner) were incredibly understanding, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. You can truly tell how much they care about their clients—they went above and beyond for us every step of the way.

They were so flexible with our vision and made customizations happen that meant a lot to us. For example, they accommodated our request to have crepes served with our Peking duck instead of the traditional bao, and they worked with us to create a banh mi charcuterie board exactly how we envisioned it, down to the specific meats we wanted. Allison even sourced a special Johnnie Walker bottle for our VIP guests, which was such a thoughtful touch.

They also went the extra mile in ways we didn’t expect—when we had some last-minute guest cancellations, they offered us a boba bar so we could still get the most out of what we had already paid for. That level of care and consideration meant so much to us.

A huge shoutout as well to the in-house catering chef—the food was absolutely incredible. The banh mi charcuterie board was a massive hit, and we’ve had so many guests reach out asking where they can order it for their own events!

My Son's Marriage

It was our son's wedding. We selected Safari Texas Ranch based on our previous experiences as guests. It is a wonderful place with multiple venues and can cater to guests of varied sizes. As the hosts of our event, we got excellent service from the management and Shelby, our point person. She was always prompt and eager to help. The food was terrific and tasty. The guests spoke highly about the venue and food. Overall, we could not have selected a better place. It will always be a special place in our memory where our only son got married.

Dream come true

Even my wedding coordinator RAVED about how seamless it was to work with Chloe Jemmerson and Safari Texas Ranch. I was personally BLOWN AWAY! Our vow renewal reception went off without a human hitch (burn ban prevented the fireworks). I could reach out to Chloe personally and she would respond in 24 hours or less (even on her off days)! And the value for the money was phenominal! We paid for our daughter's wedding ten years ago. Safari was definitely a comparable venue. Their current price was comparable to the ten year ago price and even INCLUDED the open bar!! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Awesome Gala Experience

We had a Gala in the Forum room, and the Staff at ST - namely Shelby R - was awesome. They were very accommodating, very flexible, made time for us and made us feel like we were their only customer. Shelby met with us several times and made changes as we needed. On the day of the event, Shelby was there and was able to accommodate a last minute meal change, and provided us with a last minute request of a microphone.
The table settings were very nice and we loved all the options that were available; Shelby was very helpful in that process also.
Would definitely recommend them!

Alexander Hodge Chapter, NSDAR 15th anniversary gala

Shelby was our event coordinator. She did an amazing job. She made selecting our menu and table linens super easy. She made good suggestions and answered all our questions. The food was delicious and the servers were very professional and attentive. Our venue was the Forum room and it perfect for 50 attendee event. Thank you to Shelby & Safari Texas for making our event perfect.

Fusion Wedding

Safari Texas Ranch is a great place to host big life time events like weddings. Right from day one we saw this place we were in love with it with lots of peacocks around the big campus. Our event was a great success from the hall decor to the layouts to the food and drinks. The bartender kept our drinking guests engaged, the chefs had prepared a delicious variety of food items from different cuisines, the servers did a great job making sure our guests were served in time in a courteous manner. We want to give a special shoutout to Shelby who apart from overseeing all the above and was always available with a smiling face to ensure every aspect of the event went smoothly. Not to mention Allison, the owner, is passionate about how this place operates.
We highly recommend this venue!

The best venue ever!

I’m not over exaggerating when I say it’s the best venue ever. The whole process was very smooth from start to finish. Shout out to Shelby (venue coordinator) who was very responsive and patient. The Infinity ballroom was definitely beautiful and had a Disney kind of vibe which was just perfect since I had an acoustic band playing all Disney music at the hallway. Food was delicious and plenty! My guests were full after the fifth dish. Boba bar was absolutely a hit and I’m glad we added it for underage kids. Overally it was a beautiful experience. My wedding couldn’t be successful without Safari Texas Ranch. It was our first option and also the best option. Definitely recommend!
