Amazing place especially for the entire weekend for your wedding

I couldn’t recommend the Peninsula Ranch more than I do!!! I still get comments and compliments on our choice of venue from EVERYONE! If you are able to afford the whole weekend with the lodge and cabins, I highly recommend it. We had myself, my husband, his immediate family, my immediate family, all of our bridesmaids, all of our groomsmen, and our grandparents all come stay the entire weekend. It was absolutely beautiful such amazing experience. We did cater all of the meals, but I could not recommend it more to everyone! Trampas and Stacy were the absolute BEST & so easy to work with. They came to our every beckoning call and our day couldn’t have happened without them. 1000/10 recommend!

Best venue to have your wedding

My husband and I picked Peninsula ranch for our wedding and every part of the experience exceeded our expectations from the moment we toured the grounds, the ceremony space was absolutely beautiful, lush landscaping, amazing views so many cozy spots for photos. The owner was always responsive, the staff super friendly and they handled so many details we didn’t even have to worry about them. They also were helpful with vendor recommendations. We got married there with about 100 gas and everyone said it was one of the most joyful weddings they’ve been to truly this Venue is a gem highly recommended.

Unique, Authentic, & Gorgeous!

Peninsula Ranch was exactly what I was looking for and needed for our wedding. I needed somewhere by a real body of water without weird thin walkways and goofy looking bridges getting to it. The site is right on the lake but has enough trees that you aren't windswept. Everything is 100% natural beauty. If you're not a fan of the insanely priced barn wedding venues that are the furthest thing from authentic, but still want a beautiful upscale space, this is it! It's so pretty it needs minimal decorating inside and out and shone all on its own. The biggest perk however was the manager Angie, who was so truly helpful and flexible and respectful! She answered any question at any time of day ASAP and made planning feel so much easier. This venue doesn't require specific vendors which helped a lot with cost, but everyone we used from their recommendations was great and on time and affordable. I'm incredibly pleased with the staff and location and our photos of the venue and the area! Thank you Angie and Peninsula Ranch!

We decided on Peninsula Ranch and Lodge for our wedding in October 2017. The long walkway under two archways which takes you right down to the waterfront made a beautiful isle and location for our wedding. After we were married, we moved the reception inside the event center, it has a rustic feel, lots of lighting, a full kitchen which was exactly what we were looking for. Stacy and Trampas would check in on us periodically and would assist as necessary. We also used the breathtaking lodge for all of our out of town guests to stay in. We even had local folks ask us if it would be ok to check out where we were staying (we stayed in the suite downstairs). Everyone loved what they saw. One morning we woke up to a zebra and a donkey chilling outside our balcony, how cool is that? Needless to say we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this location, you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely perfect

Peninsula Ranch is by far the best place to hold any event. The staff is very easy to work with and the entire venue is beautiful. I would book this venue for any event you can think of. The hall, the lodge, the water front wedding spot, 100% perfect. This place was a special highlight of our wedding day. We will definitely book future family events at this venue!

We had an absolutely amazing time. Everything was so beautiful my guests could not stop talking about it. The view of the lake behind my wedding was gorgeous, all the wildlife was amazing. Stacy and his crew took very good care of us, we will definitely come back for another event.

What a blessed day we had for our wedding. The staff were so accommodating.The Ranch is the most perfect place to have a wedding. My wedding party stayed at the lodge and it couldn't have been better. We sat on the patio cooking steaks and potatoes the night before after we decorated the event center and gazed at the stars. I said a prayer for blessings for our new journey starting in the morning. I recommend the weekend package to everyone. There was no stress, just a beautiful serine setting to start my new life with Pete. I AM SO IN LOVE!
