    Beautiful wedding

    I attended a wedding at this venue and was honestly so impressed! The entire place was absolutely beautiful, from the ceremony space to the reception area. Everything was elegant, well organized, and created such an amazing atmosphere for the couple and guests.

    The staff was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the event, which made the experience even better. You can tell they truly care about making weddings special and seamless. The venue was clean, spacious, and perfect for photos — every detail looked stunning.
    As a guest, this was one of the most enjoyable and beautiful weddings I’ve attended. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

    Wedding C&T

    I attended a wedding at this venue recently and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The venue itself is beautiful both inside and outside.

    The coordinator, Penjo, did an amazing job keeping everything organized and running smoothly throughout the entire event. You could really tell how much effort and care went into making the wedding perfect.

    The drinks were also fantastic all night long, and one of the coolest parts of the reception was the mechanical bull! The venue allowed it and it ended up being such a huge hit with everyone there. It made the night even more fun and memorable.

    Overall, this venue created such an amazing atmosphere and experience. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and fun wedding venue!

    Amazing Venue!

    (from a bridesmaid) From the moment we all arrived, the staff made us feel completely taken care of — every detail was handled with genuine care and professionalism. The space itself was stunning: beautifully maintained grounds, elegant indoor areas, and just the right atmosphere for both the ceremony and the celebration afterward.
    The coordinator penjo was incredible. she was organized, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on my bestfriend’s big day.
    The venue’s catering was exceptional everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service team was attentive without ever being intrusive. Overall, this place exceeded every expectation we had.
    If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, warmth, and truly outstanding service, this is it. My bestfriend’s wedding was unforgettable thanks to the amazing team and the gorgeous setting.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We recently had my sister’s wedding at Enchanted Ranch Venue, and it was absolutely beautiful! The venue itself was stunning and created the perfect setting for such a special day. Everything came together so beautifully and made the entire experience unforgettable.

    A huge shoutout to our day coordinator, Penjo, who was AMAZING. She kept everything organized, made sure things ran smoothly, and truly went above and beyond to make the day stress-free. Having someone so attentive and helpful made such a difference. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants everything to be perfect.

    Amazingggg!

    As the groom, I can honestly say this venue gave us the wedding of our dreams. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is huge inside, which made it perfect for all of our guests to enjoy comfortably without ever feeling crowded.

    A massive shoutout to our coordinator, Penjo, who absolutely crushed it. She made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and handled every detail like a pro. Having someone that organized and easy to work with on such an important day made a huge difference.

    The drinks were incredible all night long, and our guests are still talking about them. One of the coolest parts? The venue allowed us to bring in a mechanical bull, and it ended up being one of the biggest hits of the night!

    If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, spacious, fun, and has an amazing staff, this is the place. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

    100% recommend this venue

    I attended an event at this venue this weekend, and it was absolutely beautiful and spacious. The coordinator, Penjo, made the entire experience so smooth and stress-free. Everything was exactly as promised with no surprises, and if any issues came up, Penjo was there immediately to make sure everything stayed on track.

    I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to host a celebration or special event. The service, communication, and overall experience were amazing!

    Lovely Space and Fantastic Planner

    I recently assisted with the pet care at a wedding at Enchanted Ranch. The planner for the venue, Penjo, was attentive, calm, kind, and so helpful to everyone who needed it. She always had a smile on her face. I loved the reception area and the groom and bridal suites were very comfortable! Easy parking, too.

    Memorable Experience

    From the moment we stepped foot onto the grounds of Enchanted Ranch, we knew it was the perfect place to say 'I do'. The picturesque surroundings, space, and excellent service made our special day truly magical. Our guests were in awe of the beauty and charm of the venue. Highly recommend this enchanting venue to any couple seeking a fairy-tale setting for their big day! Thank you to Enchanted Ranch team for a great experience especially to Ken and Andrew.

    Penjo was our day of coordinator! We added her service one week before our event and she swooped in and made everything run like a dream. From handling the vendors to making sure we were right on schedule, Penjo was our go-to for everything. She sent us multiple important reminders from arrival times to the venue, timeline, and ensuring we don’t bring any outside alcohol on site and many more. Her friendly and caring approach made us feel like we had a buddy by our side the whole time. If you want someone who feels more like a friend than just a coordinator, Penjo is the one to choose!

    Great Event

    Let me tell you 'bout Enchanted Ranch wedding venue – it's somethin’ special! venue? Gorgeous with breathtaking sunset. Music? Top-notch. But what really stands out? Their hospitality. Ken made himself available whenever we needed anything and he answered all our questions via email and phone calls.
    And Penjo? She's our Day of Coordinator. She's just a Texas-sized blessing! She made sure everythin' went off without a hitch on our big day. Wranglin' vendors, keepin' us on schedule – she did it all with that good ol' Texas charm. Thanks to her, we enjoyed every single moment.
    If you're lookin' for a venue with that Texas flair and a coordinator who'll make your day unforgettable, Enchanted Ranch and Penjo are the real deal. They made our wedding dreams come true, and we couldn't be happier! A mighty big thanks to Enchanted Ranch and Penjo for makin' our day absolutely perfect!

    Great flexibility

    Ken was very easy to work with, his response time was almost instant. They are willing to accommodate you in most instances. This is a small concert venue to has a lot of extra things like lights, sounds, an actual bar, several TVs that most venues don’t have. The only downside is you can not drink until the bar opens. Great for DIY events.

    Great Venue

    What I like the most about Enchanted Ranch is the layout of the venue. I walked around the property during the reception and the site has great plans. The venue looks young but dignified. I think the place would only look better and better each day. The structure is huge and all surrounded by glass windows. I suggest seeing the brides changing room!! It's simple with a great twist of elegance. Great customer service from staff.

    Almost 5 stars!

    The goal for my wedding was to have a clear tent where you could see outside, the venue is exactly that! The only cons we experienced was that the cleanliness wasn’t as expected. The first tour we had of the venue was perfect! But the day before the event we found it way more dirty than it was! Jessica was great! She helped us so much throughout the event and we very much appreciate her help. The day of the event it was literally HAILING but because of the clear windows everywhere, our pictures still came out great!

    Very unorganized

    My wedding was this past weekend. The venue does not have centralized a.c but has large commercial units that did not cool down the place enough. My guests were super hot and uncomfortable. At least some shades would be nice. I was very upset with this venue. The bridal suite was very hot as well. I was wearing a ballgown dress and dripping in sweat underneath. My catering vendor was very upset as well. On top of that the owner is very unorganized. He told us the day of we had to pay a deposit of $750! Like we weren't busy enough. He also told vendors the a few days out that they needed to be added on to their insurance. The place has potential but it won't be in business for long if they keep running it the way they are.

    Do not book here

    If I could give negative stars, I would. My husband and I were supposed to get married on November 30, 2024, and working with this venue was the absolute worst experience of our entire wedding process. We ended up changing venues one week before our wedding, and it was the best decision we could have made. This business has also been reported to the BBB, and nothing has been resolved. Communication from Ken eventually stopped altogether.

    Why I would never recommend this venue:

    Unreliable promises about the bar.
    When we booked in January 2024, we specifically asked for Miller Lite to be available at the bar. Ken initially said yes. Months later, he changed his story and said he would only buy a few cases — enough for 8 groomsmen to drink 5 beers each. We had 220 guests. He refused to order more because he “didn’t want leftovers,” and then said that if there were leftovers, we would have to buy them from him.

    Ugly, inaccessible ceremony setup — and more broken promises.
    On a later tour with my coordinator, he had added cinder block benches that looked terrible, the wood wasn't even finished. It would've given someone splinters. I told him they were ugly and not what we agreed to. He had originally promised white chairs, but after many emails back and forth, he still refused to remove the benches and only said he might push them to the side. My grandmother uses a wheelchair and would have been completely excluded from the ceremony space because of this setup; which it was not originally shown as.

    False claims about sound equipment.
    During our initial tour, he told us the venue would have an outdoor surround sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour by the time of our wedding. That turned out to be another empty promise.

    Catering issues that made no sense.
    Our caterer visited the venue and discovered that the two restaurant-style coolers on-site were not allowed to be used. That left him with nowhere appropriate to stage or store food. How is a caterer supposed to operate under those conditions?

    Rude, condescending communication.
    After months of emails, Ken became increasingly rude, dismissive, and unwilling to work with us on even basic concerns. The tone alone was enough to make us question staying — and ultimately, it confirmed that leaving was the right choice.

    It’s honestly sad, because the venue itself is beautiful. But the owner made the entire experience a nightmare. I would never want another couple to go through what we went through. Switching venues saved our wedding, and I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

    Horrible acs do not work

    Do not book! 🙅🏽‍♀️
    I rented the venue for my wedding on September 4th and the amenities were not up to part. We got there the day before to drop off some things and it was very hot so we made sure to let them know it’s very hot here will the Acs be on tomorrow (the day of my wedding). They assured me that everything will be fine the day of the event we rented the venue since 1:00pm so my coordinator could set up. At 5pm it was extremely hot and the ACs were not even on?! My guest were sweating and my grandma had to be taken to the bridal room because it was too hot for her. When I emailed them a week later I told them I wanted to be refunded the same amount that they would have charged me for the accidental fee. They then said “there were damages” but that I wasn’t charged? (How convenient) a family member drove through the grass so we can load up the materials we had and they said that we ruined there grass. They also said that my family member was abusive? Which is crazy because when we asked if they could help us load up and asked for guidance they said “oh.. we’re not getting paid for that”CRAZY... The lady that dropped off my cake also said there was water everywhere on the floor when she arrived apparently the AC’s had broken and leaked. But they lied and said that they broke when they turned them on at 5pm? Which is crazy right because the venue was booked since? 1pm also! Let’s not forget the Classic response I got from them
    “It is also hard to keep the reception area cool in the afternoon when it is the hottest... So that you know, all available units were turned on earlier in the morning to get the place cooled down and ready for events, however your vendors would leave the doors open during their load in and all of the coolness that did build up ultimately escaped through those open doors. “

    So If you want your guest to be sweating non stop + in the small time that your vendors load ALL of the AC will apparently escape.. & that’s if they don’t lie to you like he clearly did when he said the units were on in the morning when we told them to turn it on at 5pm? Because they were not on. & when I have prove that the AC leaked and broke & so they clearly were not prepared.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY. SALVEN SU DINERO.
