🌟 10/10 - A Dream Wedding Come True! 🌟

Our wedding at Tanque Verde Guest Ranch on November 9 was simply magical, thanks to the incredible team that went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Our coordinator, Megan Ayes, was phenomenal. She was always 10 steps ahead, anticipating every need and handling every detail with precision and care. Megan truly understood our vision, took care of our unique ceremony requirements, and added such thoughtful, personal touches throughout the day. She managed nervous family members with grace and was such a calming presence—her work made everything feel effortless and stress-free! She even had our suite perfectly prepared with the most elegant, special touches that made us feel right at home.

The banquet staff was also outstanding, working tirelessly to accommodate dietary needs and seamlessly adjusting to changes as the night went on. They even kept the fire pits going all night, which added a cozy, magical atmosphere for us and our guests. The entire experience felt like white glove service from start to finish.

We can’t thank the team at Tanque Verde Guest Ranch enough for creating the wedding of our dreams. It was everything we hoped for and more. We’re already looking forward to returning to celebrate and relive these beautiful memories for years to come.

The Perfect Setting

The TVR was the perfect setting for our microwedding. We came all the way from Canada to have our wedding here! Giovanna made sure everything was arranged just how we wanted it, and the day of was seamless. The staff were so friendly and made sure all our guests were so well taken care of. Our driver, Michael, took us up to the Old Homestead for our sunset photos, he was an absolute angel and made our evening. We also stayed the night there after our wedding and the room was so cute and romantic with a fireplace, chocolate covered strawberries, and sparking wine! This place is certainly something special!
