The Barn is the perfect wedding venue.

Our wedding at TVR was a dream come true. We had two main goals for a venue: (1) we wanted dinner outside and (2) we wanted a dreamy desert backdrop. We visited so many venues, but when we stepped foot on the TVR Barn we knew instantly that it was our spot. The Barn is the perfect wedding venue. We hosted the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner outside on the Barn lawn and then moved the dancing and reception inside the Barn. It was perfect. The saguaro backdrop on the Barn lawn at golden hour is absolutely breathtaking. Dinner under the stars was perfect (they even provided space heaters!). And when we moved the party inside, the staff opened up the Barn doors so it was a seamless, fluid space. I could write a short novel about how great TVR was, but here are the highlights: the Barn has its own kitchen, bar, bathrooms, and parking lot so you have privacy and incredible service from the staff; the ability to open the Barn doors allows you to maximize your use of the space; it is absolutely gorgeous inside and out -- we were showered with compliments from our guests; the food was fantastic; and, although it may feel pricey, you get so much bang for your buck. Last, but most importantly, the staff is incredible. We worked with Hanna and Megan as our venue coordinators and they absolutely killed it. (Shout out to Dillion for absolutely crushing coordination during the reception!) Hanna and Megan were so patient with all our questions and concerns and brilliant with creative solutions. Megan executed our event with professionalism, kindness, support, and creativity. As we worked through the budget, menu, floor plan, and timeline, Meg offered top tier communication, suggestions, and execution. If I could do it all over again, I’d book TVR day 1!

Cullen & Mackenzie's Wedding

Mackenzie and I recently had our wedding at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, and could not be more pleased with the entire experience. A venue coordinator, Nicole Banek was wonderful. We did not have our own wedding planner, but Nicole was able to seamlessly guide us through the process of preparing for our wedding day - keeping us on schedule with our vendors, coordinating with us frequently to answer any questions that arose, and making sure that every detail with us and the vendors was synchronized for the wedding day. She was really pleasant and fun to work with, and I'd highly recommend the Tanque Verde venue and Nicole's professional expertise to any couples thinking about having their wedding at this beautiful and organized venue.

Thanks!

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!
