    Amazing Attention to Detail!!

    The George Ranch and Chris were amazing to work with. He is an amazing communicator, and he helped guide us through the entire process. He was flexible and made my vision come to life. I couldn’t recommend getting married at the beautiful property and working with him more!

    Best Day Ever!!!

    Families and Future Families - you will not find a more professional or more personal wedding experience for this most special day!!! Chris Reyes went above and beyond all we could have asked or expected with everything he and his team did to make my daughter's wedding perfect. He was there for us at every turn. All of his vendors are top notch. I cannot say enough about his work ethic and his attention to detail. After working with Chris and the George Ranch, I/we cannot imagine having our only daughter's wedding anywhere else. Best Day Ever!!!

    Old money!

    I got married at George Ranch and I absolutely loved it. The chapel is beautiful and was perfect for the indoor intimate ceremony I wanted. The outside part they have helped make my photos magical and the reception hall was absolutely stunning. It had a stage, area for a sound system set up, windows for natural light to come in, etc. Chris Reyes was so helpful in helping my dream wedding come true. I’m so grateful God helped us discover such a gem for my perfect wedding.

    Great Venue and Excellent Coorindator

    Chris Reyes and the George Ranch were a pleasure to work with. Any ideas that I had for my wedding, they were willing to do/try. Their recommended vendors were excellent. The day came together perfectly! If there were any problems I had no idea about them thanks to Chris! We used the Guy Lodge Hall which was a perfect building for the size of wedding we had. The ranch was beautiful and we got lots of compliments on choosing this location.

    Amazing Experience

    I recently got married at George Ranch and Chris and his team were amazing. I didn't have to work about anything. His team took care of everything down to the last minute!

    Expectations Blown Away!

    I really love this place and it could have gone badly and I would still have loved the entire experience. The Chapel is so quaint and special. The ringing of the bell brought some nostalgia to a simpler time. Then Guy Hall did not disappoint with the lights and the overall look and feel. The old dance hall atmosphere and rustic look was absolutely perfect. it was far more than I could have ever hoped for! Chris was just amazing to work with. He was such a great planner. Gave tips, great communication, exceptionally responsive and overall just an absolute pleasure to work with - I cannot say enough positive things about the entire process. This is the place you want to book! You will not be disappointed!

    I couldn't have picked a better place to get married!

    I got the chapel/bridal suite package.

    The bridal suite was AMAZING with a modern lighted mirror, lots of counter space and plenty of outlets as well as a very modern shower and bathroom. My makeup artist/hair stylist found it to be absolutely perfect for her needs. It was so much easier getting ready there rather than doing it all at home. It was a perfect retreat for my mom and maid of honor, too!

    As for the chapel, it was STUNNING! It's beautiful on its own, but with a little touch of a floral arch, simple pew decorations, and a runner, it looked perfect. No need to overspend on decorating unless you want to.

    We had a small wedding so this was perfect in size. It has 16 small pews and could probably fit at least 65 people comfortably.

    The chapel also has a REAL bell and we had a special someone pull it when we left the chapel. (I mean....really....how many places can offer that?!?)

    There is a beautiful grassy courtyard for brides and grooms to receive their guests outside as well as a large gazebo. Beautiful scenic southern oaks with vintage buildings in the background also offer many photo ops.

    Overall, it was a wonderful and magical experience for us. It was the wedding we've always wanted. We are so very grateful we chose the George Ranch Historical Park as our wedding venue! It was totally worth it.

    Historic beauty for a wonderful price!

    I can’t say anything other than great things about George Ranch and their coordinator Chris Reyes!
    Not only is this the perfect place if you’re looking for a truly historic ranch with rustic appeal, it’s also the most reasonably priced wedding venue in all of greater Houston areas. Looking around at beautiful wedding venues that are out of every normal persons budget is a major blow. George Ranch offers a more than fair price for both the ceremony and reception, and it was the perfect place for us! Chris Reyes is absolutely phenomenal and was 100% upfront and ready to go the second we met him, and not once was he ever pushy or the “sales person” type. He was with us all the way through, answering every question and remaining flexible to our wants and needs (not to mention super friendly!)
    He’ll be there on your special day to make sure everything is where it needs to be and that everything goes smoothly. My husband and I are forever grateful for his help and guidance, and George Ranch is a truly special place.

    Johnson Wedding

    George Ranch Historical Park is a beautiful place to hold your wedding or any event. They are super easy to work with and they have everything you need for your event. I would do it all over again and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of holding an event.

    Amazing and professional

    This was the best decision we made for our wedding venue. Everything was perfect from the chapel to the reception hall. All the vendors provided great service and were extremely professional. Highly recommend.

    George Ranch Chapel = GORGEOUS

    We worked with David and his team. Everything was beautiful and they were all very easy to work with. All of our guests commented how special the ceremony was!

    Beautiful space

    Our June wedding reception at the Guy Hall Lodge was beautiful, fun, and so memorable. We appreciated Chris' help throughout the process of wedding planning and his attentiveness the week of the wedding. This is a beautiful, rustic, and charming venue with great photo opportunities throughout the space perfect for a small/mid-size wedding. We are so glad we chose George Ranch for our reception!

    The best!

    Where do I even begin? If you grew up in the Fort Bend area, you likely visited the George Ranch in 4th grade. I never imagined I would have my wedding here. We looked at a few venues around the Sugar Land/Houston area- all costing a fortune with no real benefits. We thought we'd see about the George Ranch... upon meeting David we were hooked right away. He was so kind and didn't feed us any BS- straight to the point & took care of all our questions and needs. The cost couldn't be beat. David's vendors were phenomenal- from the food to the music! As the planning steered more into decor and other fun stuff, we were introduced to the coordinator Chris. He is the BEST. Just like David in that he was also very responsive and took care of everything. Everything I asked for, Chris was right on it. Sending lots of pictures of table settings and ideas. He has such a great eye for decorating and making your visions come true... actually he surpassed my visions. I saw the hall fully decorated when we arrived the day of the wedding after our church ceremony and about cried- it was more beautiful than I could have dreamed. Chris went above and beyond, the hall was gorgeous. The charm of the historic hall really gave our reception that extra special touch. Our guests had nothing but nice things to say- everything from the decor, the food, the bar, and atmosphere was fantastic. David was in attendance and danced with us, while Chris buzzed around making sure everything was perfect and that we always had a drink in our hand. We can never thank David & Chris enough for everything they did to make our wedding so wonderful; they have both really become part of our family. If you're looking for a venue that will genuinely care about you and what you want for your wedding, I highly recommend booking the George Ranch. We wish we could relive that day 100 times over!!

    Incredible Experience

    The second I stepped foot on George Ranch Historical Park, I knew it would be the perfect venue for us. They offer an all-inclusive package that literally has everything and anything you could possibly want for your wedding. We decided to use some of our own vendors, for example we hired a pizza food truck, and the workers at George Ranch were so easy to work with and beyond accommodating to our requests. I have to give a special shout out to Chris; he decorated the chapel and reception hall for us and was so easy to talk to and work with. He let us make any changes we wanted, and his wife even helped put together flower bouquets for us. After our small private ceremony Chris drove us around the park with our photographer to get some special shots at the historical sites. Then during the reception, he was actively ensuring everything went to plan and on schedule.

    I loved our wedding and George Ranch made our dreams come true.

    Bigger & Better in Texas!!!

    So the song goes...The stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. Well, the stars at George Ranch Historical Park, namely David & Chris, both have big hearts & bright ideas when it comes to planning & preparing for what I would have to say was the "perfect" wedding! Our daughter was looking for a special place for her special time. The Ranch speaks for itself as far as a venue. It has character, history & charm. Put that together with a team like David & Chris and you couldn't ask for a better package anywhere. From the moment we first toured the venue to the final dance at the wedding reception they were there for us. Our out of state guests who had never been to Texas got the complete "Texas" experience from the moment they walked into the historic small chapel, to the outdoor games and finally to the historical hall where we dined & danced and even stepped outside to view the "Stars at Night deep in the Heart of Texas". Thank you David & Chris for making our daughter's wedding one full of Texas-sized memories!!

    Wedding May 2021

    If you're interested in getting married at George Ranch then you need to contact David. He is very professional and was very receptive to our wants and needs for our special day. There is a Gazebo if you want an outdoor wedding ceremony, or a Chapel if you want an indoor wedding ceremony. David was kind enough to set up both options for us so if the weather was clear we could have gotten married in the Gazebo, but since it rained we were able to get married in the Chapel. For the reception there is an indoor location, or there is also an outdoor covered pavilion that we chose to use instead. George Ranch also has multiple places for wedding photos on location (both indoors and outdoors). George Ranch is also located in a low traffic and quiet area where you can enjoy your wedding with family and friends. George Ranch is also VERY AFFORDABLE and depending on your wants and needs David can work up a price that is good for you. We chose our own catering service for food, but David does have connections to catering services to get all your meals ready for your big day. Lastly, we chose George Ranch for our wedding instead of Galveston and a bunch of restaurants and banquet halls around Houston. George Ranch is a spot you can definitely enjoy your big day. Photo spots : Gazebo, Chapel, Pavilion, Fields with flowers, Houses, Tree House, Flower Areas, Paths & Walkways, and a bunch of other places we didn't even use. Time: Early morning, mid-day, or late afternoon. Parking: Huge parking lot fits easily over 100 cars and maybe even 200-250. Price: About 1/4 of the price everywhere else was going to charge us. We did have a small wedding and did own own catering. I think the venue for 4 hours was about $600 and then we did our own catering for about $600 also. Lastly, David didn't tell us no a single time. He was very accommodating to our wants and needs. The answer was always yes he could do it.

    Perfect Venue!

    George Ranch is the perfect venue that met all of our wishes for our wedding! It’s far enough in the country, but close enough to the city. The drive is easy and you don’t have to worry about taking winding back country roads to get to it. The property is breathtaking with trees that are older than Texas. The historical buildings are amazing and well taken care of. With those two combined you hardly need to decorate or do much to make it look good, which saved us from a lot of extra money and work. It’s also a HUGE property that has an endless amount of places to get amazing photos. Ashley the event coordinator was such a joy to work with. She is so calm and sweet and that really helped while planning an event that is notorious for being stressful haha. If my husband and I were to do it all over again, we would 100% go with George Ranch. It’s almost been a year now since the wedding and people are still raving about the place! It was seriously a dream come true.

    Wedding of my dreams

    I don’t even know where to start expressing my love of this venue and for Ashley. The pictures on the internet do not to the chapel and the grounds justice. We fell in love the moment we first showed up to view the property- it was the first venue we toured and we immediately knew we didn’t need to tour any others- that this was the perfect place for us. From the beginning I felt like Ashley understood my wedding vision and was always on the same wavelength even sometimes ahead of me reading my mind. She was the saving grace for my anxiety and if I ever felt overwhelmed or had a 1000 questions/thoughts she always immediately calmed me down and made me feel so reassured and at ease. I trusted her the whole process and let me tell you when I say our wedding day was perfect because of her - it was perfect because of her. Every little detail was so beautiful. She brought my ideas, thoughts and Pinterest pictures to life. There literally wasn’t a single thing I would have changed after the fact. It brought tears to my eyes once the wedding ended because it was the wedding of my dreams. Ashley felt like a friend not just our wedding planner.

    If you see this Ashley we love you and can’t thank you enough!!!

    Absolutely a dream come true

    I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed planning my wedding with Ashley at the George Ranch. She helped make my wedding planning so much fun and stress free! She went above and beyond to make sure our special day was excellent and exactly what I had envisioned! Every bride needs Ashley! Her staff is amazing as well and so much fun to work with. I will forever love this venue and recommend to anyone looking for a place to get married! Or host any kind of event! Thank you again Ashley and George Ranch!

    Our spectacular wedding.

    Two words: Natosha Dickerson (soon to be a bride herself, so I’m not sure of her married name). She was my wedding coordinator responsible for our flawless wedding that we held at the Guy Lodge Hall in the South Yard at George Ranch Historical Park. This woman is an extremely talented and sharp professional. From the beginning, from the first phone call, she was warm and extremely helpful all the way until the end. She is always cheerful and on top of everything, she never forgets anything, nothing makes it past her without her knowledge. She makes the George Ranch Historical Park look incredibly amazing. It was an honor to work with her and have our wedding held in this little slice of history. It was basically the wedding of my dreams. It has been two weeks since our wedding day, and we are still basking in the glow of the fond memories we made there. The entire time we were working together with Natosha, I was thinking, “How can two plain civilians plan a large scale event? Something will go wrong if not everything would go wrong.” But nope, I was amazed at how easily it fell together with Natosha’s help! She didn’t seem worried whatsoever during the entire planning process but I was over here just trying to be cautiously optimistic, and she was at ease for good reason. No hitches, no missteps, just a stellar time surrounded by our friends and family! The George Ranch has very competitive pricing, and upgrading something was no big deal as we wanted to upgrade the bar as we approached our wedding date. They provided an insanely great DJ (DJ Tom), uplighting, delicious food by Schultze’s, friendly, professional staff who made our night a dream, and unforgettable memories. A huge thank you to George Ranch for providing the gorgeous atmosphere and to Natosha for providing smooth guidance throughout the process!

    Beautiful Site, Great People

    We booked the gorgeous wood church for our wedding ceremony on a Saturday morning. To ensure we had the area all to ourselves, they do not book any of the other buildings during our time - that's really special because they are basically agreeing to forgo possible income to make you the focus!

    They were also open to us changing our minds between the gazebo, to the church, to back and forth between inside and out because nothing else was booked.

    The event team was wonderful and very responsive to my multiple requests to come out to measure, walk my coordinator through the ceremony, walk my photographer through the site, and random other visits needed to plan out the perfect wedding.

    On the day of the event, the event staff were there in the shadows ready to help if need be but thankfully it all went off without a hitch so they weren't needed.

    Overall the location was beautiful and the staff made it all a pleasant experience both leading up to the special day and on the wedding day itself.

    I cannot recommend GRHP enough, you won't be disappointed choosing them!

    Great Venue!

    We held our wedding ceremony in the Beasley Chapel and loved the venue. It’s simple yet beautiful and turned out exactly as we’d hoped. We had around 50 guests, and the chapel was the perfect setting to not feel overwhelmed by the building size. It certainly would easily accommodate larger numbers though. Natosha and the other staff were a pleasure to work with and helped everything run smoothly. Overall, this is a budget-friendly wedding venue with a beautiful backdrop and friendly, helpful staff. I’d highly recommend it.

    Fran, the whole team and George Ranch as a venue were absolutely amazing. Fran was very accommodating, responsive, helpful and so friendly. The rest of the team was always willing to jump in and help in all aspects of the planning process, the rehearsal dinner and the actual day of. The venue was simply beautiful, amazing, affordable and perfect. Anything a couple would want in a team and venue, George Ranch has. A lot of venues offer "cookie cutter" weddings, but George Ranch allows you to have your own wedding in your own way, which we loved. Thank you so much for all you did for us...we couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Very happy I decided to have the wedding and reception there. It poured the whole day of the wedding(we planned on having an outside ceremony) and they did a fantastic job relocating in a timely manner. Great experience! They were all very kind and offered to help with anything and everything.

    My sister was just married in the Chapel at George Ranch. Her reception was in the Lodge Hall and it was BEAUTIFUL. Fran worked with us throughout the entire process and we couldn't have done it without her. This venue is beautiful indoors and outdoors. It went perfectly for my sister's rustic, country "get together." Fran was there during the whole event and even opened the doors for our guests! She is wonderful and George Ranch is drop dead gorgeous.

    Our wedding at the George Ranch was absolutely beautiful, rustic, Texan-feeling, and everything that my husband and I wanted it to be. Fancesca was our planner and she was extremely responsive, flexible, and pretty much did whatever she could to make everything exactly the way that we wanted. If you want a real, Texan wedding, I highly recommend the George Ranch. All of our guests were raving about beautiful and personal it was.

    I haven't gotten married yet, but have been working with my event planner, Andrea, and she has been VERY responsive, and helpful with making sure that we get what we want. They are reasonable in pricing, and willing to work with you. They have packages set up, but also allow you to create your own, which is nice for couples that have smaller budgets. The scenery is to die for! The moment I stepped foot onto George Ranch Historical Park, I knew that it was where I wanted to get married. I am looking forward to our wedding day, and can't wait to finish planning!

    Mother of the Bride

    We held our daughter’s wedding reception at George Ranch and it was beautiful. The grounds were gorgeous in November and the care to detail was fabulous. Every element of the plan was executed and the vendors and staff were so friendly and supportive. Lots of positive comments and compliments were heard from those who attended. Chris was easy to work with and went out of his way to make sure our vision was reached.

    Beautiful Venue!

    We recently had our wedding ceremony at George Ranch. The venue is amazing, especially for taking outdoor photos! We also loved the separate bride and groom spaces for getting ready which were a quick walk from the Chapel. In addition to the great location, we also really appreciated the kindness, thoughtfulness, and flexibility of the George Ranch team, specifically Chris and David. We had a perfect day and are so thankful we found this beautiful venue!

    Beautiful Wedding

    George Ranch was an absolutely gorgeous venue and Ashley was wonderful and very helpful! Great location for a small wedding! My only complaint is 4 hours is not enough time and the wedding felt SUPER rushed. But we loved the location and everything turned out wonderful!

    Great people to work with. They are a little laid back but it all gets done and the ranch is beautiful even on a wet rainy day. Highly recommend this venue for a rustic Texas style wedding.

    George Ranch is a wonderful venue, it is really country and simple. Everything is included with this venue except the officiant, flowers, photographer and decorations. The only bad think I would say is you only get the venue for 4 hours which I felt like wasn't enough time I felt rushed to leave the place. Other than that the venue and feel of the place was amazing!

    Sweet Rustic Venue, Beware of their DJ

    The Good:
    George Ranch Historical Park is a unique, cute, rustic venue here in Richmond, TX. They are known for their historical tours and reenactments, but they also have a private events section (with plenty of parking!) where they host weddings. They have a beautiful small, antique white wooden chapel, gazebo, and dance hall/reception area. They also have an area for the bride to get ready. Natosha is the coordinator for the venue. She is amazing. She is very responsive, professional, kind, respectful, and accommodating. I made many trips to the venue throughout the course of my wedding planning and she was always happy to have myself/my family over. She was very responsive in answering phone calls/emails. I never had a question go unanswered. George Ranch requires you to use their vendors (outside of cake/florals). Shultze's BBQ did the BBQ catering - the food was great. We were also able to set up the venue a full day before the wedding.

    The Bad:
    They also force you to use their own DJ - DJ London. She was the worst vendor of all (and by far the most difficult to work with according to my outside wedding coordinator we hired - who has years of experience). During the initial consultation with the DJ a week prior to our wedding, there were red flags. DJ London was very disorganized, constantly misplacing the timeline I had given her. She marked up the timeline during our meeting, trying to change times/order of events and add her own events. We discussed how to proceed with each event (first dances, speeches, prayers, exit, etc.) during this meeting. My coordinators also discussed this with her before and during the wedding.

    The actual wedding day with DJ London was a nightmare. She was incredibly disorganized and all over the place. She made strange choices - like forcing the guests to stand through all the first dances, forgetting to cut the first dance songs at the appropriate time, did not know how to perform the anniversary dance we did in lieu of a bouquet toss (which was discussed with her numerous times, and she assured us she had done this before and knew what to do), forced guests to stand around us during the cake cutting, ignored our exit plans and tried to do her own exit within the hall, among other things.

    My coordinators tried numerous times to redirect her. They even requested to take the microphone and make the announcements, as the DJ was not doing them herself. The DJ flat out refused. DJ London also would not communicate/work with my coordinators - instead preferring to defer to the best man.

    DJ London was given a list of carefully curated songs that my husband and I wanted to be played. This was discussed beforehand and we were told it wouldn't be a problem. However, during the reception she played whatever music she wanted and ignored our playlist.

    Having her as a DJ was truly embarrassing. My guests even noticed - I was approached by several guests after the wedding questioning if the DJ was even sober. She mingled with guests on the dance floor, dancing and singing along with the microphone. She was very energetic, but not in a good way.

    After the wedding, I notified the venue we were displeased with the services provided by the DJ. In George Ranch's response, they apologized and said she has a lot of "energy" and it may come off the wrong way.

    If you are a bride considering George Ranch, I would strongly encourage you to question the DJ they try to provide you. They do offer a live band instead of a DJ. If they try to force DJ London on you, run away. Another good option would be to do the ceremony at the ranch, then do the reception elsewhere.

    There were other minor problems with the venue. I chose not to use the bridal dressing room there, as it is very small and they do not allow the consumption of alcohol. We requested yard games be set out for the guests during the cocktail hour, but they weren't. They refused the allow the appetizers for the cocktail hour to be served in the post office (which is where all the other food was being served).

    Overall, George Ranch is a sweet and romantic venue, perfect for a couple looking for an intimate country wedding. They offer a wide range of packages, and really work with you to fit your budget.

    Poor communication

    David Comerota was very rude, dry, and unprofessional throughout the wedding planning experience. Talked down to me, complained repetitively, didn’t document everything and therefore messed up my wedding rehearsal, and lastly doesn’t answer calls. However Chris Reyes was highly helpful and responsive!

    The venue was amazing and speaks for itself. Our wedding coordinator, Jane, was helpful and responsive. Friends and family who helped pick up after the wedding felt rushed and the staff started clearing centerpieces from the tables even before we left. We would recommend this venue to others, but would warn to discuss process issues before booking.

    George Ranch Ups and Downs

    I chose GR for the unique tree house. That part was great! Everyone had a good time, but the behind the scenes before the wedding with the coordinator was not so pleasant. We were told one thing and then when it came down to it, we were told that we had to pay for things that we were told would be thrown in.

    We wanted to use our own cater and would pay to do so, but were told NO several times and then finally less than a month before the wedding they stated we could for a fee. It should never have been this difficult. Natosha was just not very friendly or accommodating. Ashley however was very helpful with taking us around for my photo shoot, but I do not think Natosha is a people person and did the bear minimum, which was very disappointing. She just seemed put out, several people that was helping with my wedding felt that way and they did not even know the back story. I also feel, for what you get from GR it is over priced, but I am still glad I was able to have a beautiful wedding at the tree house any everyone had a good time.

    I am the MOB, who researched and recommended the venue to my daughter. Since I feel responsible for the choice, I feel like I have some valuable input.

    We loved the historic sight, the grounds, the dance hall, the historic home which the staff provided tours for our guests at no additional charge. We really appreciated that, although I don't know how many of our guests were able to take advantage of it.

    The catering was good, but getting the menu we wanted was challenging. We asked for a tasting, none was scheduled. The jalapeño mashed potatoes were too spicy, and there was no other starch option. Since they require that you use their catering, insist on a tasting. But overall, the food was fresh and tasty, and within our budget.

    Beyond that, our frustrations were with staff. We worked with Kristi who is very sweet, but she needs to just say no! She told us some key details could be worked out, when they definitely could not. She should have said so, it would have saved us lots of trouble before, and anxiety at the event. Also, bride provided clear diagrams, which the coordinator said were great, yet the sight was still not set up as requested, and decor which we set up was changed. The lovely brides changing area was locked when bride arrived at reception, and a/c was never turned on. This is Texas, it was hot! Reception service was insufficient, promised cake service not provided, bartender and servers were rude to me and our guests. Finally, I made the deposit by my personal check, and all payments on my credit card, the receipts were mailed to the GROOM!

    This gorgeous, rustic venue is easy to fall in love with, but trust your gut! If you don't want many customized details, just let them do what they do. But if you think that maybe the staff is not on board with your vision, you may be right. Although we love the venue, I would not recommend due to service issues.

    Coordinator was rude, she told me I was only allowed 2 hours of photography, tried to send in the bridesmaids and bride before the groomsmen and groom. Didnt put out a knife to cut the cake, and then lied about our cake platter being thrown away.
