No other venue like it!

When we first stepped foot into the barn, it took our breath away! I instantly got all giddy and didn't want to continue the venue search. Having our wedding at the barn was a dream come true! There is no other venue like it in Tucson. The ceremony space on the barn lawn overlooks the saguaro national park with the Rincon mountains in the distance. So picturesque! The lawn is also perfect for cocktail hour. Plenty of room to mingle and even have a few games to stay entertained (corn hole, giant Jenga, Sparky the fake bull to practice your lasso skills). Then you move inside the barn for the reception. So many aspects of the room are so impressive. From the chandelier to the mesquite bar top to the 18 foot fireplace that is the perfect focal point for your sweetheart table. Other than the inarguable beauty of the venue, the staff and food is much to admire. Every vendor that we hired was so ecstatic to hear our wedding was being held at the barn. They love the venue and the staff! And we agree! The staff, especially Hanna, our wedding coordinator, were exceptional! They made us feel like royalty! All staff was so kind, attentive, and accommodating. AND THE FOOD!! Usually wedding banquet food is nothing to even mention. But the food at the ranch is exquisite! Countless wedding guests complimented the food!! We could not have had a more magical and perfect wedding! We have the Tanque Verde Ranch to thank! Can't wait to celebrate all our anniversaries to come. I can guarantee many of them will be spent at the ranch! Thank you!!

Exceeded expectations!

Megan was amazing. She helped with all the details from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the process. Tovia was incredible with helping to take us where we needed to be and assisting with other errands as they came up. Greg was fantastic. He provided more than just food and drinks and was available for anything needed. It could not have gone better. Everyone was extraordinarily helpful and very kind.

Megan loves being able to help couples begin a beautiful new chapter in their lives. She loves perfecting all the little details that go into creating the full big picture. She grew up coming to the Ranch as a child and has always treasured the beauty of the Ranch, so much so that she had her first job in our Kids Program. She went on to gain knowledge in various industries including Restaurants, Catering, Hospitality and Sales, but finds herself back at the Ranch to help create unforgettable memories for our couples. Megan loves to spend her free time with her horses, Martini and Tootsie.

Favorite Wedding Moment: The groom’s face when he first sees his bride whether that be during a First Look or them walking down the aisle

Favorite Ranch Activity: When the horses run down to the main corral to eat dinner. They are always playful and excited to chow down. It's a fun site to see!
