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!

Outstanding Experience

This wedding venue was absolutely perfect in every way! From the moment we arrived on the day of the wedding, we were captivated by the stunning, well-manicured garden. The vibrant dancing peacocks added such a magical touch, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The venue was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. As for the food – it was a true highlight of the day! The blend of Indian and Cajun flavors was absolutely delicious, with each dish bringing its own rich, bold taste that wowed our guests. Every bite was a delightful fusion of spice and flavor, beautifully prepared and presented.

We were initially a bit nervous when we learned our original event planner could no longer be involved as she had to quit for personal reasons but Shelby, the new event manager who stepped in just a month before our event, exceeded all expectations. She did an outstanding job picking up where things were left off, making sure every detail was in place and that everything ran smoothly. Her dedication and professionalism truly made the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was impeccable, and we were so grateful for her calm and organized approach during the final weeks leading up to the wedding. Highly recommend this venue for its breathtaking setting, exceptional service, and mouthwatering cuisine!
