Perfect Venue

Vista West Ranch was the perfect place for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It had everything we were looking for! It was the perfect amount of rustic, country, elegance, and space we were looking for. They were very well priced and were almost all inclusive! We even got to utilize their lodging the night of and their brewery for our rehearsal dinner. Highly recommend. It was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more! Also everyone there is so sweet & welcoming; makes you feel just like family!

Incredible venue, awesome team, perfect day!!

My Husband and I got married at Vista West Ranch on 2/22/2020 and it was literally the most perfect day ever! We got so many compliments on how incredibly beautiful the venue was and I cannot say enough about how awesome all the staff were with responding to texts, calls, and emails throughout the planning process. They were so accommodating with us before the wedding to store decor items we had and Brittany was such a gem in helping us with this. We cannot say enough great things about VWR. They care so much about the couples that get married at the venue and making their day special.

Wedding of my dreams

I toured Vista West Ranch 10yrs ago and fell in love with it. When the time finally came around I knew without a doubt this was the place. I live in North Dakota and could not make it down to tour the venue again, but Brittany made every step of planning my wedding in 3 months an absolute breeze. There was never anything that I stressed over or was concerned about. Brittany helped with literally everything. When we’re setting up and my donut wall was the wrong size, Brittany heard it in my voice and quickly stopped what she was doing and found a solution. When my candy bar was not complete by the time I needed to go upstairs and get ready, Brittany took care of it. Brittany from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for EVERYTHING you did. You made what will forever be my favorite day, so easy and relaxing. I wish I could do a yearly renewal with y’all and the venue. The venue is breathtaking. There’s a sense of peace being out there with the waterfall running and the wind in the trees. Standing on the porch of the treehouse and looking out watching the ceremony sight be set up knowing the time has come, is a feeling I’ll never be able to explain. This venue, this family, the staff, their vendors, EVERYTHING about Vista West Ranch is a godsend and I could not have picked a better fit for our wedding. From the Villarreal’s- we love y’all! #aboutdamntime #isthisvreal #brittanyrocks #yearlyrenewal??

Beautiful Venue, wonderful experience!

We cannot say enough about Vista West Ranch. As soon as we toured the venue and met Stacy and Joe, we knew we wanted to work with them. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the package includes some really amazing vendors, that our guests and our parents continue to rave about. The staff at Vista made everything really easy and we felt well taken care of the entire time. We stayed in the onsite accommodations the night of our wedding, which we loved. Overall, it was a really wonderful experience. We would recommend Vista West Ranch to anyone!

Gorgeous Venue with Great Team

Choosing Vista West Ranch as our venue was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. They were always very kind, communicative and patient. They make everything so convenient by including a DJ, bartenders, and day-of coordinator in their rental price and everyone they work with is very professional and reliable.

We had an absolute blast taking advantage of the on-site lodging at VWR and all of our guests raved about how gorgeous the grounds were! I would highly recommend VWR as your wedding venue!

Absolutely Perfect

Vista West and it’s staff were simply amazing! Right from the beginning they made planning the wedding simple and enjoyable. They were always easy to get ahold of and very organized and were always helpful with anything we needed. The open houses they hold throughout the year with vendors were full of good ideas and were generally fun to go to since you get to eat and have a drink or two.
On the day of our wedding, the venue was beautiful, and our friends and family could not have been any more impressed. The ceremony went great and was well organized from the start. The biergarten was a perfect setting for the cocktail hour and really got things started and got the guests loosened up. After that we had people on the dance floor literally all night thanks to Brandon Shabazz of Premier Entertainment Group our DJ. Those who wanted to relax were hanging out by the fire pit having a few drinks and socializing. It had something for everyone.
Brittany, Vista West’s day of coordinator, was just awesome. We can’t thank her enough. She took all the stress out of the day and was able to handle any of the issues that came up. She kept the wedding moving along and was super friendly and professional the entire time. Thank you Brittany!
To sum it all up, Vista West was perfect in every way we could have imagined for our wedding. You guys are awesome.

Amazing february wedding at the creek haus

When we were looking for a venue I had immediately discounted the creek haus, and almost didn't see the place just because of the price. Although it was everything we wanted in a venue (a beautiful location, housing for guests and more of a 'retreat' vibe), I just didn't think the price was worth it. However, after understanding what was included with the price and looking at other venues in the area, we finally checked out the Creek Haus and instantly fell in love. It was everything we wanted in more.
Leading up to the event, Joe and Stacy and the team were so incredibly helpful, everyone was very quick to respond to any question or concern!
During the wedding weekend, we were able to be surrounded by all of our friends and family stress free, knowing everything was taken care of by the dj, coordinator and of course the bartenders. We have received countless compliments about the wedding and the venue we chose and have already had guests tell us they've recommended it to their friends who have a wedding coming up!

Sweetest Experience Ever

Vista West exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The venue, the vibe, and most importantly the love we felt from everyone at Vista West was unmatched. Stacey and Joe went above and beyond to meet with us personally on several occasions to ensure that our needs were met. They deserve all of the love in the world! They are the most genuine people we have ever met! Our wedding was absolutely stunning, and most importantly, we had peace of mind during our entire wedding planning! Vista West Ranch is the most efficient and stunning venue. Our only wish is that we could do this day all over again, because the entire process was so perfect and easy!

A Dream Venue!

What an amazing place. We decided to get married at Vista West and honestly, we looked at about 20 other venues - this was the only one to prove to be almost all inclusive. It includes the ceremony and reception space, the DJ, the bartenders, the decorations, the coordinator, AND MORE. They are genuine people who are extremely flexible, kind, and a joy to work with. It’s a beautiful space in Dripping Springs and I can’t imagine getting married to the love of my life anywhere else. It was a dream.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
