Such an amazing experience! Beautiful venue, and our ability to have an incredible weekend with our bridal party (all our best friends) outside of the venue was such an added plus. Donna is also like an extra wedding planner, which makes the entire experience flow so much easier. We got married during Covid, after we had to postpone it for a year, so without Donna and this venue I do not know if it would have happened at all.

Hidden GEM.
Wow, where do I even begin? I have spent the past year & half working with Donna at Rancho Mirando to create my dream wedding. My fiancé & I knew we had to get married in the hill country but better yet, wanted that view OF the hill country. I had searched for weeks online for that perfect ceremony location…it was when I stumbled upon Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch that I knew I found it. Immediately booked a tour to visit within the following week, put down deposit & signed the dotted line the second I got there. We purchased the luxury guest package which is a 3 day weekend stay. I couldn’t recommend that package enough! Having time to get to the ranch, take in the scenery, decompress from the stress of wedding planning, take a breath before the fun starts, & not being rushed by needing to clean up/get out at the end of the day really helped create a stress free, relaxing wedding weekend. The Hacienda was big enough for my bridal party to stay, along with their families too! It was just perfect in every way. The pictures are gorgeous but nothing comes close to the view when you’re at the ranch. That Bella Vista ceremony location is the most breathtaking view I’ve ever seen in the hill country! Rolling hills, lush greenery, architecture (Hacienda & Deck House both just gorgeous), luxurious swimming pool, open Pavillion & fire pits are amongst the reasons for choosing this location. Accommodations nearby ranch allowed guests to stay close yet have plenty to do during down time! Donna keeps her ranch in pristine condition as well as builds strong relationships with her clients, who quickly become family! She goes above & beyond to help turn your vision into a reality. I love party planning, organizing, & creating so one of my favorite parts of planning my wedding at Rancho Mirando was freedom & space to allow me to do so! That paired with Donna’s help & guidance, we were able to throw one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen. I will forever cherish the relationship with Rancho Mirando & Donna & will continue to highly recommend this venue to friends & family. Thank you, Rancho Mirando, for helping to create our dream wedding!!

Gorgeous Texas Hill Country Venue
It's unbelievable how gorgeous this venue is. The Texas sunset over the hills was the icing on the cake. Donna is so talented and so great to work with. She transformed the already beautiful venue into a dream. Her handmade plates and flowers from her garden were the extra touches that made the day so much more special.

Wonderful host and venue
I was the wedding planner for a couple who fell in love with Rancho Mirando and Donna, the owner. Rancho Mirando is indeed one of the more beautiful venues especially if you love views of the hill country. Stunning views. Working with Donna is a dream. She is so accommodating and pleasant to work with. and she designs the wedding florals and grows some of the flowers she uses in bouquets and other florals. The getting ready houses and the pavilion are just perfect. She and her husband have designed and brought to life the perfect wedding venue. There are several locations on the property for the ceremony, first look, engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and you can even rent the venue for the entire weekend. I promise you that if you choose Rancho Mirando you will have a one of a kind experience and a very special wedding and reception.

Wedding of my dreams
We just had our wedding September 23, 2022. I can not express how beautiful Rancho Mirando is. From getting ready, to ending the night, everything was gorgeous. A one of a kind venue for all I could have ever dreamed of.

Exceptional!!!
When planning for our wedding, we wanted a venue that would provide a unique wedding experience for our guests. Our checklist included: sites for multiple events and different crowd sizes, outdoor/open air sites, beautiful Hill Country scenery, and proximity to lodging for guests. Rancho Mirando delivered all this and so much more. We utilized every space that Rancho Mirando had to offer, and really felt that having so many spaces provided a new experience with each event. The weather during our wedding weekend was perfect Hill Country fall, but even had things not gone to plan we felt confident in our rain plans with the tent and pavilion on site. We loved working with Donna and Mark; they have become family friends! Their artistry and personalities are poured into the property and really bring Rancho Mirando to life.

Stunning venue, wonderful team
Because of the pandemic, the planning stage for our wedding ended up lasting multiple years. Donna and the rest of the team was so gracious during that entire period while we scheduled and rescheduled, changed plans, etc. And then when the event finally came, it was perfect. We did not find a more beautiful wedding property in the Hill Country: stunning views, gorgeous landscaping and sculpture, and multiple perfect event spaces.

Magical wedding perfection
All of the incredible things said about Rancho Mirando in the other reviews are perfectly SPOT ON and I’m convinced that these people went inside my brain and stole the words straight out of my mouth. Seriously, look no further if you want the most amazing and magical wedding EVER; this venue is breathtakingly gorgeous, every event runs as smooth as freshly churned butter, and there is nothing that Leslie and her team can’t turn into gold.
My husband and I had an absolutely magical, care-free, RELAXING, and amazing wedding weekend and it was without a doubt due to the single most important decision we made throughout the entire planning process, which was to have our wedding at Rancho Mirando. This level of sheer wedding perfection comes from over a decade of experience and the proof is in the pudding. The vision of our dream wedding came to life because of Leslie, Donna, their staff, and the inexplicable magic of Rancho Mirando. Leslie had not only a plan A and B, but a plan C and X, Y, & Z for each hurdle, big or small. As a bride you put so much trust into your venue to carry out a perfect day that you’ve been mapping out since you got engaged or for most, since you were a little girl. I put all of my trust into Rancho Mirando and what came true was a fairy tale that I couldn’t have dreamt of myself. Leslie and her team brought all of my visions to life, each event was coordinated to perfection as Leslie and her staff worked magic behind the scenes and made everything so effortless so that my husband and I could relax and focus on what truly mattered that weekend. My husband, myself, and all of our guests were all completely BLOWN away by the magic that is Rancho Mirando. THIS VENUE IS SO FREAKING AMAZING.

Magic is found here.
We could not have asked for a more perfect venue than Rancho for our daughter’s wedding. The space is absolutely stunning with breathtaking vistas, the reception hall was such fun for a night of dining and dancing both indoors and out with our guests. Donna and Leslie attended to every detail and then some. The flowers were gorgeous and the reception took our breathe away. We had a day to treasure forever from the amazing hacienda that was gone to the whole wedding party to sending the newlyweds off under the twinkle lights. Thank you Donna for your care and thoughtfulness.

Perfect Long Wedding Weekend!
Rancho Mirando is a dream come true!!! My husband and I wanted to get married in the Hill Country to show our friends and family the beauty and magic of our favorite place, and Rancho Mirando was the perfect place to do that. We hosted a long weekend in the Hill Country and Leslie and Donna were instrumental in making all of our plans come to life. The pair helped us from start to finish with anything we could possibly need (and many things we had not thought of on our own). It was comforting to know that Leslie and Donna were on our team and making all of the behind-the-scenes things run smoothly. I got to spend my wedding weekend completely at ease about the wedding itself. No stress here! We hosted our wedding party in the Hacienda and the whole weekend will always be one of my favorite memories. We got to relax and enjoy that special time when all of our favorite people from all over the country were together - something that is unlikely to ever happen again. Having the Hacienda for the weekend was a huge plus for us and I am so happy we had that space to gather with our friends and family. During and after the wedding weekend, I had so many people tell me how fun and beautiful the wedding was at Rancho. Our guests were stunned by the beauty of the place and thoroughly enjoyed the wedding. I would book our wedding with Rancho Mirando again in a heartbeat!

Rancho Mirando was the most incredible venue for this wonderful life event for our son and his bride. The views, the architecture, the florals, the service and the entire weekend were fabulous. Lesli was always one step ahead of us in the planning process and the events. Donna did a gorgeous job on the florals. Thank you, thank you!!

I cant say enough how perfect our entire wedding weekend was from arrival on Thursday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. Donna and Leslie made us feel at home and helped the entire weekend run smooth. They helped with absolutely EVERYTHING. Our guests were amazed by the wedding venue as well as the service provided throughout the night. Not to mention, the beautiful views from the reception site, incredible amenities, and great landscape throughout the ranch. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. We truly had the wedding of our dreams!!

Absolutely amazing!!
I honestly do not even know where to begin. My husband and I absolutely love Donna and Leslie. Words cannot even describe how appreciative we are for all the hard work they put in to make our day absolutely special! We were so fortunate to come across this venue when thumbing through wedding magazines. We visited multiple venues, but Rancho Mirando rivaled them all. Everything about this venue is perfect! The Hacienda is beautifully furnished and sleeps 16 people comfortably. You feel like the ranch is your home away from home for your wedding week or weekend. The grounds are stunning and create a nice background for lovely pictures. Everything about it will take your breath away! However, the owners, Donna and Leslie, are absolutely amazing! They are experts at helping you plan your wedding and do not miss one detail! They ensure that your special day occurs smoothly, without you having to worry about anything. Leslie makes things happen in a fashion that appears effortless, but it is quite evident that she is working diligently behind the scenes. Donna is also extremely talented and makes beautiful floral arrangements. They are very friendly, professional, caring, genuine women whom we are now blessed to call our friends. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and turned out to be more incredible than we had ever dreamed of it being. This venue is very special, and we are so happy that we were able to experience it and share it with our friends and family.

Simply the Best
Simply the best. From our initial meeting with Donna and Leslie until our departure on our wedding weekend, everything was perfect. I can literally go on for several pages detailing how on point every aspect of the planning and venue were, but sadly I'm limited to 3500 characters so here are the highlights:
Venue - Rancho's location is amazing. My wife and I were searching for a property in the hill country and our expectations were exceed 10 fold. The vista offered from the Hacienda and ceremony site are breath taking. It was a picture perfect backdrop for our vows. Our wedding photos and my wife's bridals are spectacular. From the architecture of the hacienda and it's unique furnishings, to the lavender fields, and of course the vista.....wow! Also, you get use of the Hacienda for the weekend. A great feature for logistics and such a benefit to have your family/bridal party at one location from rehearsal through departure.
On to Donna and Leslie. Love them! From our first appointment to discuss Rancho and its offerings, we were welcomed with open arms. They were attentive from that appointment and remained that way throughout. Always patient and willing to offer suggestions to help with our vision, the budget and maintaining a realistic wedding day timeline. Donna is a botany magician. Her flowers were amazing! I'm not big on florals, but wow, they were stunning! Leslie is a rockstar!! I couldn't have asked for a better planner. She had every detail dialed in for the entire weekend and ensured that Monica and I had the perfect day we had hoped for. She kept us focused without being a nag. We went in expecting professionalism. Not only did we get the absolute best - we got life long friends as well! This is not to diminish the supporting staff at Rancho. All were super professional and made all the little things come together without you ever knowing they were there. My thanks to you all.
Overall, perfect. If you're searching for a property that has stunning views and staff that are a 11 out of 10 - look no further. We didn't sign up for Rancho to get rave reviews from our guests - we did so because of the connection we felt on our very first visit. However, the majority of our guest have commented that this was "simply the best ".

Scottish Highland Wedding Magic in Texas
Rancho Mirando exceeded our expectations for our son and our daughter-in-law’s wedding. The staff's expertise and attention to detail delivered an event that many in attendance declared the best wedding ever! Our family and friends from Scotland agreed that the sunset lawn service overlooking the hills, complete with kilted bagpiper, recreated the romantic Scottish Highlands for a special wedding day. The wedding party pictures are magical, with such awesome background views of the hills and gardens from all over the "castle-like" ranch estate. Thank you to Rancho Mirando for all your preparations, hard work, and leaving us with such great memories!

Best Day of My Life
This was truly the best day of my life, and I owe that all to this breathtaking venue and my amazing coordinator who knew what I needed even before I did. Our wedding day and wedding weekend far exceeded what we could've ever expected or imagined. From the first phone call to Mrs. Donna and Leslie when we were picking our venue, then touring the venue and being speechless at the views and reception area, to developing a relationship over the next nine months that would create a lasting bond. I love talking to our guest and hearing them tell us, "this was truly the best most beautiful wedding I've ever been to." We were able to begin our long weekend on Thursday night just the three of us, us and our daughter, before the chaos, family, and friends would arrive on Friday. That was so special to our family to have this gorgeous home to relax in and the amazing view to wake up to as we were beginning our next chapter. We never left the ranch from Thursday to Sunday and someone made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Leslie and her crew were able to bring every detail of my vision to life from the rehearsal dinner to the reception. My bouquet and reception flowers were incredible! I wish I could do this day over and over again, and not change a thing!

Best day of our lives!
It’s been a month since our wedding and I still have a hard time finding the words to describe our wedding weekend at Rancho! It was and still is breathtaking. I could write a 5 page review, but I’ll try to keep it simple. The amenities—YES!! The hacienda offered an eccentric, yet cozy place for our friends and family to laugh and love together. The lighting and the photos while everyone was getting ready are timeless. We chose the wedding site with the overlook and it could not have been more perfect, seriously! Our guests raved about the beer garden/bathrooms that were used during cocktail hour. The reception hall was designed in a Texas State of Mind- dinner, booze, and all the dance moves! Most importantly were the people running the show. We were greeted with arms wide open! Leslie is top notch. She spent countless hours listening to our wants and needs. If there were any hiccups on our wedding day, we were not aware. Overall, Leslie and her team made us feel like family.
We have talked about the wedding every single day for the last month. All of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and I have to agree with them.

Beyond outstanding.
This venue is like no other. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. My daughters wedding was there this past weekend. Oct. 20, 2018. Leslie and Donna went above and beyond to make this wedding perfect. The views and the property is so awesome. The compliments we received from our guest I have never experienced. The flowers were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen at a wedding. It was just perfect. The guests also made the same comments about the flowers. My daughter and her new husband said they couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding and had the best time of their life. Donna and Leslie are so personable and easy to work with they will be our friends forever.

Rancho mirando is a dream come true!
We had our wedding at Rancho Mirando in May of 2018 and were absolutely blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of atmosphere, scenery and overall experience, the breathtaking views of the Hill Country from every location on the property were almost too good to be true, it was an absolute fairytale. We had sole use of the house and property ALL weekend our entire wedding party was able to stay there, I was able to have my rehearsal dinner on site, live band poolside...I can hardly put the beauty of this place in words. Leslie, Donna and the rest of the staff were nothing but helpful in the run up and during the course of our weekend-we couldn't praise them enough. As my coordinator, Leslie absolutely stole the show, I had no idea what I was doing and honestly, I didn't have to because she was with me every single step of the way from contacting my vendors to zipping my dress, this girl is heaven sent.
As a wedding venue, we couldn't fault anything. This place is a dream come true. Donna provided floral rentals, tablecloths, dishes, glassware, tables, chairs...seriously, I didn't have to do a single thing! There's a full commercial kitchen on site and honestly, if it's something you need, they have it!
Again, we had full use of the property ALL weekend, the room we stayed in was great, full of everything you could ever need...lotion, bobby pins, shampoos, tissues..you name it it was there and all of our guests especially loved being able to relax in front of the window wall in the living area that overlooks miles of the Hill Country..again BREATHTAKING.
The venue played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is a testament to that, from the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

April 28 2018 Koether Wedding
I’m mother of the bride. The entire experience of planning the wedding and the wedding itself was fabulous & perfect. We couldn’t have accomplished our high level of satisfaction without the constant help and support of Donna at RM! Beautiful venue with wonderful people at Rancho Mirando!

What a beautiful wedding venue. Our daughter got married at Rancho Mirando on April 21, 2018. I knew from our first meeting with Donna and Leslie that they knew their business. Boy, was I correct. Leslie was our wedding coordinator and she was the absolute best. She went out of her way to help with every detail from the planning until the last person left the reception. The florals that Donna created for the wedding and reception were absolutely gorgeous. They are both very easy to work with, and we are so thankful to them and all their wonderful staff for making our daughter's wedding perfect!

Not only is the venue & property exquisite but the individuals behind Rancho Mirando are what truly make it special! Words can’t describe how amazing Leslie & Donna were during the planning process. Over a course of time they truly felt like family. They both saw my vision & brought it to life. Everything from late night phone calls to text messages and meetings they assured to make sure I was satisfied with every detail. I’m forever grateful that they both went above and beyond for our wedding. I still get chills as I think about walking into the pavilion for our reception…Everything looked as if it was from a fairy tale. I will admit that my wedding and all the parties apart of it did not make their job easy including all my bad luck leading up to wedding day, but they helped me get through it and made it an admirable story to tell in the years to come. The coordination ran smoothly, the flowers were immaculate, the communication was clear between vendors, the focus on details was there and I felt I always had a friend to call when the planning got ‘tough’… Thanks Leslie! After I got engaged, the weekend following my Father & I traveled to Rancho Mirando. I already knew by the pictures and reviews over the internet that this was the place I wanted to get married! I didn’t know that when I arrived it was much more than I could ever imagine. During a year of planning I travelled to this property during the winter, spring, summer in all kinds of weather & each time the ranch was breathtaking. My husband & I got married in the fall of November 4th, 2017 and spent the weekend on property. The experience of staying on property made wedding weekend that much more worthwhile. My bridesmaids loved the hacienda and felt comfortable with the accommodations. Let’s just say when you arrive you’ll never want to leave! I truly don’t think my fairy tale would’ve came together without Leslie & Donna and all their efforts. They really are the dream team!

My husband and I were married here on April 7, 2018. There are just no words to describe how grateful we are for Leslie and her mom Donna and how much we adore them. They made everything...from the planning to the last detail...so, so perfect and easy. We are just over the moon and in love with our wedding. We literally could not have asked for a better wedding planner...Leslie is the best of the best of the best. On top of being amazing at her job, she is also just so friendly and funny and enjoyable to be around, and we really consider her now a friend. She has an insane talent for doing this -- for caring deeply, for making people feel special. And for executing damn good weddings! Donna's florals took my breath away! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rancho Mirando! You blew us away!

I could spend an entire day writing about all the things I loved about having my 11-11-17 wedding at Rancho Mirando but suffice it to say that Rancho is not only EASILY the most gorgeous venue around, but also has the most amazing and easiest people to work with. Leslie and Donna are the mother-daughter duo who run the show and they really could not be any more wonderful. Donna is the décor and floral genius who turned my ideas into a real-life fairytale that easily surpassed even my highest expectations. Not to mention, she’s the nicest woman you’ll ever meet who is also really, really good at what she does! I must also say that it is very endearing how much she cares about making everything perfect for her brides and making sure we’re 100% happy.
Now on to Leslie. Leslie is the wedding coordinator at Rancho Mirando and, while I don’t know many other coordinators out there, I can’t imagine anyone being better at their job than Leslie. There truly isn’t much this girl can’t or won’t do! I knew I adored Leslie the first day we met back when I first toured Rancho, but seeing how helpful, efficient, organized, and in-control she was of every little detail on my actual wedding day was extremely impressive and SO comforting. Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous or stressed out and, very surprisingly, I actually wasn’t because I had so much trust and faith in Leslie and knew she was already on top of everything and then some.
All in all, look no further than Rancho Mirando. Besides the things I already mentioned, having the huge and beautiful Hacienda where you and your wedding party can stay for the whole weekend, plus the breathtaking views and scenery, plus being able to have your rehearsal dinner on-site, plus the fact that your wedding is the only wedding taking place at Rancho on the given weekend you book…it’s really a no-brainer because you’re just not going to find all of those things anywhere else!

Rancho Mirando was, BY FAR, the best decision we made while planning our wedding! My husband and I got married at Rancho this past April 2017. We both went to school in San Marcos, where we met and fell in love with the beautiful South Texas hill country. After we got engaged, we knew we wanted the perfect hill country experience, above all else. We researched venues all over Texas, and made multiple visits - and then I found Rancho! Rancho Mirando sits right on the Devil’s backbone and has unparalleled 360 hill country views unlike anything we’ve ever seen! Seeing it in person literally took our breath away. There is an incredible Spanish Hacienda that overlooks the entire ranch and can sleep 16 people! We were able to have our entire wedding party stay at the ranch from Friday’s Rehearsal Dinner (on site at the Beer Garden) until Sunday afternoon. THAT was the absolute game changer! The ranch was our home for the entire weekend! THOSE were the moments and memories that we’ll never ever forget. As if Rancho couldn’t get any better - LESLIE and her mother, Donna, are the BEST PART! Leslie is the wedding planner and Donna does floral (rentals barn on the property). LESLIE is absolutely a god send and one of the best people I’ve ever met! SHE has impacted our lives even after wedding and treated us like family from day one. She not only thinks of everything (and has it covered), but she was right by our side & made our wedding adventure SO fun! The ranch has everything you can imagine! There are various rehearsal/ceremony/reception sites, & they’re flexible to do whatever you want, so the possibilities are endless! We seriously had so many people come up to us and ask, “Where did ya’ll find this place?!” and telling us that it was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen. I will never have enough wonderful things to say about how magical this place truly is. Rancho Mirando is so much more than just a wedding venue for us, it is now our new home away from home.

It's so hard to put our experience here without writing an essay of how memorable our wedding was at Rancho Mirando.
My husband and I decided to get married on the weekend of Hurricane Harvey! I am more than sure that it was difficult for the staff to have to turn things around for us, but they handled every challenge with professionalism and expertise to the very end! Though almost every single plan we had was not in our favor, Leslie and Donna brought out their big guns and truly shined. Their attention throughout our whole 3-day weekend at the ranch was wonderful! We did a great deal of emailing back and forth about the floral, seating arrangements, vendors, etc prior to the wedding. This form of communication was super convenient for me. The ceremony and reception was set up exactly as I had always envisioned and so much more! Thank you Rancho Mirando for engraving in our hearts an amazing weekend and story to tell our children and our children's children! We can't wait to find a reason to come back! We love you dearly!!

My wife & I just got married at Rancho Mirando on April 22, 2017. We met at school at Texas State (20 min away from Rancho), and we knew we wanted to have a wedding that was a beautiful Hill Country experience, similar to what we fell in love with in college. We visited multiple wedding venues before my wife found Rancho Mirando. She thought it was too good to be true, and judging from the pictures, I thought the same. The pictures are gorgeous, but the real thing is quite the sight to see. We contacted Rancho and spoke to Leslie, who is one of THE driving forces behind Rancho Mirando and its success. When we first met with Leslie (who became our wedding planner) she immediately made us feel like family. She and her team listened to our vision and made it a reality. Honestly, I've heard many horror stories about wedding planning, so I was nervous to start the process. However, we luckily found Rancho Mirando and Leslie, who turned a possibly stressful experience, into a very enjoyable one. Rancho Mirando & its views are beyond what we could have pictured. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the beautiful landscaping, to the amazing (multiple) ceremony locations. We decided to have Rancho for the entire weekend, which allowed us and our wedding party to stay at the Hacienda on the property all weekend. This was one of the highlights of the wedding! Once we arrived at the Ranch on Friday, we and our wedding party didn't have to leave the property until Sunday after wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner Friday night in the "Beer Garden," which overlooks the Bella Vista Ceremony site and rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country. Our wedding experience was one of the greatest weekends of our lives - and it wasbecause of Rancho Mirando and their team, and for that, I am extremely thankful. If you're looking for a venue where you can experience the natural beauty of the Texas Hill country, and feel like you're at home, this is the best decision you will make!

Rancho Mirando is absolutely breathtaking! It was one of the first venues we visited and we were immediately sold. The stunning views and beautiful hacienda where you and your family can stay all weekend were the selling points for us. We also loved the fact that we could have the rehearsal dinner at the ranch the night before so we could we could spend as much time there as possible. Donna and Leslie were wonderful to work with and made you feel like your wedding was the top priority during the entire wedding process. Donna's flowers are amazing and take the reception area to the next level! It was also super convenient having all the rentals (linens, dinnerware etc.) through Rancho Mirando so you don’t have to worry about yet another vendor. I highly recommend Rancho Mirando for your wedding day. Donna and Leslie make you feel like family and make your wedding dreams come true!

Rancho Mirando gave us the wedding of our dreams. What first attracted us to the Ranch was the breathtaking views and stunning architecture, but what truly made us fall in love with it, was the incredible feeling we got every time we were there. The Ranch truly has a magic about it that creates an atmosphere of calmness and peace. The venue was the most important part to me while planning because I wanted to create the right atmosphere with the right vibe for our wedding day. I can truly say we all felt at home there the entire day. And I haven't even mentioned the best part - LESLIE. She is seriously a wedding angel to work with from start to finish!!! I knew nothing about weddings and was the most indecisive bride and she guided me throughout the whole process. She is a miracle worker and knows every in and out there is about weddings. Not to mention, she is just a really cool, down to earth, real person who will tell you exactly like it is - what every bride needs. Donna does rentals and florals and with our very modest budget, she made our wedding look like it belongs on the front cover of a magazine! Donna and Leslie felt like family and made the whole process so much easier and less overwhelming but they really go above and beyond on your wedding day! The whole day was executed seamlessly. Leslie takes care of every last detail and need of the bride and groom, family, guests, the staff - It is truly amazing what she does and how good she is at her job. So many of my guests after the wedding came to me in amazement with compliments on how well Leslie ran the show. You need someone there like her that is going to keep things on schedule and to direct guests/provide for them so you and the groom aren't burdened all day and can actually enjoy your wedding and that is what she did for us! I will be forever grateful to Leslie, Donna, and everyone at Rancho Mirando for giving us the wedding of our dreams with such incredible, beautiful memories!

I cannot say enough about this incredible venue!! We knew from the first moment we stepped onto the property that this was the place. The facilities (including the house on the property, reception pavilion, and beer garden) are absolutely stunning...however, they do not hold a CANDLE to the view from Bella Vista. My husband and I were married in that location on 4/8/2017, and it was the perfect start to our marriage. The guests' minds were blown. It is just the most beautiful ceremony location. Come visit, and you'll see what I mean. We rented Rancho Mirando from Thursday-Sunday, and it was so much fun to have the wedding party stay with us for a few extra days. We were able to have down-time together, catch-up, and laugh into the night. We all woke up together, drank our coffee, and looked out over the beautiful land. Having the ranch for the entire weekend: highly recommended.
Additionally, Leslie and Donna were a PLEASURE to work with. They have an adorable mother-daughter relationship and were honestly a part of the family by the end of the wedding weekend. I believe my mother invited them to our next family reunion... Leslie served as our coordinator, and Donna provided the rentals and flowers. No complaints. It was all fantastic.
Guys, seriously consider this option for your venue. I'm not kidding.

Rancho Mirando has the most beautiful views and has such a unique style. All of guests were blown away by our ceremony site, the hacienda, and the reception hall - there is beauty everywhere you look! Leslie is an amazing coordinator that can help any couple exceed their expectations for the vision of their special day. She is so wonderful and sweet to work with! My bridal portraits and wedding pictures at Rancho Mirando are absolutely breathtaking, and I cannot imagine having my wedding any where else.

I swear every single one of my guests have asked me, "Where did you find this place?!" How lucky am I to have found Rancho Mirando for our wedding!
Every inch of this property is stunning. We had the property for the weekend so our rehearsal dinner was held there on Friday and the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception on Saturday. Even with all of these events happening in the same place, they were each at a different location within the venue because there were so many beautiful places to explore and enjoy.
The house was a haven for me and my bridesmaids the whole weekend. We all stayed there together on Friday night and stayed up late under the big beautiful tent and chandelier talking about life and the big day to come. We woke up on Saturday morning to incredible views that were both calming and romantic. The house provided everything we needed for the chaos of getting ready, not to mention the decor and color made for THE CUTEST pictures!
In fact, my photographer snapped pictures of us all over the place! We took first look pictures in the courtyard filled with flowers and gorgeous vine covered walls, and after the sunset, there was a full moon photography session close to the lavender fields.
Once the reception started, we had a couple of babysitters stay at the house so guests and family members were able to let their kids hang or sleep in one of the many bedrooms while they continued to party, but the parents were never far away as everything is so close on property.
It was also such a joy to stay there with my new husband and not have to travel far after an exhausting day. After all guests left, we stayed up late drinking and reliving every moment together with the company of a few close friends and family.
The day after I woke up a couple hours before anyone else, sat outside drinking coffee, took in the amazing views and thought about all the happiness I had just experienced. It was a perfect moment I would never trade it. This venue a

I had the most perfect wedding at Rancho Mirando! First of all, the grounds are simply amazing. All of our guests (including me!) were blown away by the views, as well as all of the different areas around the ranch that you can use for different events. You really can't beat having the venue for the entire weekend. I was able to do a lot of the decor myself (I did all my own flowers) that I really would not have had time or room to do elsewhere and it helped make the day extra personal! Leslie is amazing and will absolutely take care of everything you need all weekend! I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day because anytime anyone needed anything, Leslie was there to help! Rancho Mirando is perfect if you're looking for a full wedding weekend experience.

I find it difficult to put into words the reverence I have for Rancho Mirando. I had my beyond beautiful wedding here last December. It was one of the best days of my life -- if not THE best -- not only because it was my wedding but also because this place is just magical. So magical. I fell in love the moment I saw the pictures online, but none of them do it justice. From the fantastic, attentive and warm mother-daughter duo that runs the ranch (Donna and Leslie) to the ethereal landscape, amazing accommodations, options for different ceremony/reception sites, to the absolutely charming decor, you cannot do better for your wedding than Rancho Mirando. Donna collaborates with you on the overall vision, centerpieces, cutlery and the flowers. She is AMAZING with floral arrangements. She took my vision and made it an even more beautiful reality than I could have ever imagined. Leslie was fantastic. She really knows how to manage relationships and focus people's concerns on the bride and groom. She truly is a bride's best friend as many others have attested, making sure to de-escalate and resolve any potentially negative situations. This is crucial for ensuring a happy, drama-free wedding. She also manages all of the time logistics. She is exceptionally organized, and I don't know what we would have done without her. Everyone kept asking me how I was so calm on my wedding day, and it's because I felt like everything was taken care of and I had nothing to worry about, all thanks to Leslie and Donna. If you have the opportunity to get married here, please do it. It will be the best decision of your life. But don't just take my word for it: all you have to do is visit this breathtaking place and meet Leslie and Donna to know that's true.

This is such a lovely, Mexican looking hacienda venue in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. It is very versatile- you can have a romantic, glitzy wedding, or a more casual, rustic wedding. Donna is a delight to work with. She is very talented in all areas of weddings. She even does flower arrangements and makes her own beautiful dinnerware. We will definitely recommend it to others wanting a Hill Country wedding.

WOW !!! What an experience , Best wedding venue ever! All of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was; it doesn’t get better than having a view of the hill country as your backdrop! Besides the amazing landscape, Rancho Mirando had so many extra features we simply couldn’t find anywhere else – Our wedding party stayed in the ranch house that’s included as a part of the venue contract, Also, if you’re looking for an outdoor venue, you might’ve noticed it’s difficult to find one with all the extra's that Rancho Mirando offer...You have the whole ranch....With a beautiful pavillion and sites for the ceremony... Their restrooms are beautifully done, and we actually had guests comment to us how beautiful the restrooms are (not even joking). Most importantly, Leslie (Co-Owner) is one organized lady – Her mother and her are a great team...They had prompt answers to our many questions, and with the venue being family property, she knows it extensively and is able to provide the best advice based on her years of experience in the area. Thanks for everything, Leslie my daughter and I can honestly say that we have a new family with Rancho Mirando.. You made us feel like family and made sure that we had the perfect wedding...Leslie and the staff's spirit just spills joy and happiness...What a blessing she was, They made sure that our daughter and son-in-law had the wedding that showed their love and commitment to God . She understood what they wanted to share and made sure it was shared...My husband made a arbor to share their washing the feet ceremony and they had no problem helping us and getting to make it look just write...
My husband and I wanted a perfect wedding for our ONLY DAUGHTER ....We scored 100 percent....Thank you again.

The ranch is breath taking and Leslie, Donna, and staff truly made every effort to ensure that my "Type A" daughter had her perfect day. My daughter has dreamed about this day all of her life and finally met the man of her dreams and Rancho Mirando ensured that all of her visions came to life. They far exceeded my expectations and I will be forever grateful for making my daughters day so perfect.

I cannot say enough about Leslie, Donna, their staff, and the ranch itself. To start with the ranch is a beautiful and special place. The back drop of Texas hill country is beautiful any time of year (even in December when I had my wedding). The buildings on the ranch are very architecturally pretty and fit well with the surrounding hill country. I had more of a wedding weekend in that the entire guest list was invited to the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding on Saturday. It was really nice to be able to have multiple events all in one place but have different locations on site for each event. We were able to use the large clear tent on property for the BBQ rehearsal dinner. I chose the new Bella Vista ceremony site and could not have had a more picturesque sunset wedding. All around the property is laced with christmas lights and hanging lanterns that are all lit up and night and just magical. There were also several fire pits that we had lit on both nights. At the rehearsal dinner instead of dessert we put out ingredients for s'mores to roast over the fire pit and it was a huge hit with kids and adults a like. The last piece of the property we used was the hacienda. It is where we housed the bridal party and myself and my husband. We checked in on Friday afternoon and stayed for the weekend. It was so relaxing not to have to worry about driving anywhere for anything! As nice as the property is the Staff makes the place great. I used Leslie as my wedding coordinator. I couldn't ask for better. She held my hand through every step and made my whole family feel very included and comfortable. Leslie went over and above to make sure my day was special, Donna's rentals and flowers are A+++ the best. She made my wedding really beautiful and had awesome design suggestions. My flowers and center pieces were incredible. I can't say enough good things about Rancho Mirando and Leslie and Donna. Go see for yourself!

Our family loved the venue and staff at Rancho Mirando. The wedding planner Leslie was loving, kind and very professional. Leslie took the stress away from the day as she had everything under control. The venue is beautiful and the accommodations were splendid. We would do everything exactly the same as it was a perfect day.

From the moment I found Rancho Mirando online, I knew I HAD to get married there. The views are breath taking, and the variety of ceremony and reception options offered were so beautiful and unique. I always dreamed of a Texas Hill Country wedding and Rancho Mirando is something out of a movie. Actually no, it's BETTER! Being able to stay on the property in the Hacienda from Friday to Sunday was unheard of when shopping for venues, and after visiting the ranch and meeting, Leslie and Donna I fell in love with it even more! Leslie was my wedding planner and Donna took care of all our florals and rentals. This mother-daughter team truly creates the most magical and comfortable experience, which was important for me being someone who is more reserved but at the same time a perfectionist. :) We booked Rancho Mirando in June 2015 and had constant communication discussing ideas, questions and sending Pinterest photos up until the day of my wedding in February 2016. Leslie makes you feel like you have known her for years, which made it so easy to put all my trust in her for my big day. Her recommendations for everything from the DJ and caterer to the cake and our officiant, were more perfect than we could have ever imagined and exceeded our expectations. The whole weekend went flawlessly and we didn't have to worry about a thing! It seemed like anytime my husband or I needed anything, Leslie would magically appear and ask if we needed anything or she had already read our minds. We were blessed with absolutely perfect weather that weekend, and our guests raved about the stunning views and architecture. It was honestly above and beyond anything we could have ever dreamed! Leslie and Donna are rockstars, but I also have to give credit to their staff for piecing together the most AMAZING weekend event. Shout out to Erin and Zack for everything they did too! Rancho Mirando is truly something special, and I hope all of my friends get married there so I can go back! :)

My wedding here could not have been more perfect and magical and I owe it all to Leslie and Donna and their staff at Rancho Mirando. Every girl dreams of their wedding being this picture perfect fairytale and thanks to these two amazing ladies, my wedding was more than I could have ever asked for. I was new to the state when I was looking for a venue and was weary of having a wedding in a place where I knew no one and had no where to turn for references. I got lucky and found this dream location at Rancho Mirando and immediately knew upon touring, this was going to be my wedding location. I had to plan the bulk of my wedding myself due to my family being out of state but Leslie and Donna really stepped up and helped me make my dreams come true. I was beyond excited when they made it so easy to plan, from the ceremony, to florals and decorations, and even the day of coordination, Leslie and Donna were my “fairy godmothers” making sure everything would be perfect. I cannot say enough about how blessed I felt to be able to have my wedding at their venue but I was even more blessed to feel like family with these ladies. They went above and beyond their roles for my wedding. The final product of my wedding blew our friends and families, myself included, away; it was literally a New Year’s Eve wedding fairytale. Upon entering my ceremony site I started crying because everything was picture perfect. A wedding is a moment you dream of forever, everything was so incredibly perfect and I knew at that moment, without them, none of it would have been possible. Thank you Leslie and Donna for being my fairy godmothers.

BEST WEEKEND OF YOUR LIFE...I don't even know where to begin! The ranch by itself is absolutely stunning. My husband and I were sold on this venue the moment we drove on the property. It has the best views that will lend to some amazing pictures...everyone will think you spent a million dollars on your wedding because your big day will be so breathtaking, I promise. I wanted to use the entire venue so I had my rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in different areas of the ranch which are equally beautiful. Our entire wedding party stayed in the gorgeous hacienda on site the whole weekend and holy moly...we had SO. MUCH. FUN. It was just so incredibly PERFECT.
LESLIE and DONNA...I love you ladies! These two beautiful women will make your wedding dreams come true. They make the process so easy and make you feel like family. Leslie goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly (and it will) and does not miss a single detail. She is your best friend and is an OUTSTANDING wedding coordinator. Donna provided all my décor and floral and I could not be more happy with the turnout. I really felt I could trust her taste in design...you can literally show her any pinterest photo and she will make it come to life.
You will LOVE this property and so will all of your guests. I can't tell you how many friends and family told us this was the best/most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. We cannot wait to find another excuse to return to the ranch.

Rancho Mirando is the PERFECT venue for your special day! The owners / coordinators (Leslie and Donna) are genuine, down to earth people that will do all they can to make your dreams come true for your wedding day. The venue has the most gorgeous views and makes the perfect backdrop for each moment on your day. I love nature and elegance and Rancho Mirando is the perfect blend of both. I scoured the internet and looked at ALL venues in Austin and nearby areas; this one took my breath away and was the perfect option to have a place where I could spend the weekend with my family (not feel rushed) and enjoy the days leading up to the wedding. Leslie & Donna are very knowledgeable and ensure you have all your ducks in a row before the event. On the rehearsal day and wedding day, they are on-site to ensure all goes according to plan. They keep everything on track, so the bride, groom, and family do not have to worry about details once they are on-site. My rehearsal dinner was the perfect, casual pre-party prior to the wedding. Leslie was on-site ensuring all went smooth. She is so down to earth that I spent a couple of hours chatting with her….felt like we were long-time friends. The day of the wedding, Leslie helped to ensure all of the details were addressed, and anything I needed, she was on top of. Donna and Leslie helped make last minute flower arrangements, boutonnieres, corsages…all of which looked amazing…while simultaneously making sure everyone and everything else was in place. The day went exactly as I envisioned it and surpassed my dreams! The venue and views made the most incredible backdrop for the pictures. EVERYONE that attended the wedding had the most intimate, special, amazing time, and most (if not all) said our wedding was the best they had ever attended. This is all thanks to Donna and Leslie’s talents, as well as the amazing beauty of the venue. Their goal is to make your dreams come true, and they succeed! CHOOSE RANCHO MIRANDO!

Rancho Mirando is a gorgeous venue to have a hill country wedding and the staff is amazing! The ladies of Rancho Mirando, Leslie and Donna, made planning easy and fun and they did a phenomenal job of creating everything we wanted. Every guest I talked to was blown away at the beauty of the ranch and at the floral arrangements created by Donna. It was a truly memorable weekend and being able to stay at the ranch for the entire weekend with our wedding party topped it off. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding in the hill country, you won't be disappointed!

Rancho Mirando was everything I could have ever dreamed of for my wedding venue. It was absolutely perfect. Every time my fiancé and I visited the ranch we would walk the property and fall more in love with its beauty. The owners, Donna and Leslie, are amazing to work with and make the whole process of getting married extremely easy and stress-free. I cannot express enough how wonderful Donna and Leslie are and how beautiful Rancho Mirando is. My husband and I already talk about revisiting the ranch for our anniversary. March 28, 2015 was one of the best days of my life and I owe that all to Donna and Leslie and their gorgeous property! I will always have a special place in my heart for those two ladies. Thank you for everything!!

I followed my daughter Leslie and daughter in law Kristin as a Rancho Mirando bride. I happen to own the venue , but seeing the experience as a Bride makes me appreciate our uniqueness and we actually added a full 24 hours to our package after my wedding. The Hacienda was our family private residence that we now share with 16 of our Bride and Grooms family and friends. I hand picked the furnishings from all over the world and had a professional scenic painter live on the property for a year to hand plaster and faux finish the Hacienda to look like a centuries old Interior Mexico Villa. Staying for 72 hours with all your family and friends adds a special experience to a wedding. Leslie was my coordinator and she made sure everything was as perfect as it gets. My now husband , architect Mark Canada designed and built Bella Vista our new ceremony site for us. Every detail was considered and walking the 130 foot arbor with beautiful grasses and landscaping is a magical experience . The 25 mile long view will take your breath away ... I am 62 years old and May 2, 2015 was truly one of the best days of my life !

We wanted a spring wedding and an outside ceremony, so naturally Texas Hill Country was where we looked at venues. From the moment we drove onto the property, I fell in LOVE. It was unlike any other place we had visited, the view was breath-taking and Leslie made me feel like we had been friends for a lifetime. My husband (then fiancé) and I spent 2 hours just talking about our vision and touring this amazing venue. We even missed our next appointment b/c we didn't want to leave! We ended up booking that day and chose April 4, 2015 as our date.
What I loved about Rancho Mirando were all the options- they have TWO outside ceremony sites, a gorgeous pavilion for the reception and a tent lit by chandeliers and tea lights which was perfect for a rehearsal dinner. You are able to rent the ENTIRE venue for the ENTIRE weekend. On top of that, you stay in "La Hacienda" and are able to have family or bridal party stay with you there. Leslie and Donna have seriously thought of EVERYTHING!
Rancho Mirando is beautiful, romantic and one-of-a-kind...I PROMISE there is nothing else like it. Having Leslie as my coordinator made the planning much easier! She made it easy to stay organized and offered such valuable suggestions. One thing I miss most is being able to talk to her on a regular basis! They honestly make you feel like part of the family.
I will never forget all that Leslie and Donna did to make my "big day" so perfect. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous and Rancho Mirando played such a big role in making the experience more than we could have imagined. Rancho Mirando will always hold a special place in my heart and we can't wait to go back and stay for our anniversary. YOU MUST see for yourself- you will fall in LOVE!!!

Stop reading this review and go book your wedding at Rancho Mirando. This is by far the most breathtaking venue and Leslie will make sure your wedding is perfect. Being able to stay on the ranch for the entire weekend also relieves a lot of stress that goes along with wedding logistics, and provides peaceful morning views as you get ready on your big day and beautiful sunsets as your say goodnight to loved ones. Also, Leslie will make sure you have a wonderful weekend. She was so professional, personable, organized and creative. Though she was hired as our day-of-coordinator she answered our endless number of emails and helped more with planning than your average day-of-coordinator. This was much appreciated since we were out-of-state. Donna, was also such a pleasure to work with. She made the rental process easy and created the most beautiful bouquets and floral centerpieces. I cannot thank them enough for helping us create a fairytale wedding that everyone is still raving about. Being able to have both families stay in the house also brought everyone closer.

Hands down, this is the most beautiful spot in the Texas Hill Country. We attended a Rancho Mirando open house in July 2013 and immediately grabbed the closest person who looked like they worked there to book our date. Throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, figuring our decorations, rentals, etc., the Rancho Mirando team was exceptional. Leslie and Donna are truly some of the sweetest women alive. It is hard to express the feelings that we now have when we think about the service we received. It can only be said that you become a part of the family. They truly treat your day as if it were your own and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. Also, as with most weddings, we had a 1000 questions that all came up on 1000 different days and Leslie was always willing to respond to an email or phone call to help us out. We cannot express the gratitude we have for everything they have done for us. We are truly in awe of the service we received! We are proud to call Leslie and Donne friends! You will not regret anything you receive from these great people and will only wish you had made the decision sooner!

The most magical wedding for our daughter and son in law and all our guests.
Rancho Mirando provided a perfect venue for our daughters wedding. The dynamic duo team mother/daughter Donna and Leslie took care of every detail to make our weekend flawless.
The breathtaking views , beautiful property with a gorgeous home and three different locations for the rehearsal dinner , wedding and bridemaids brunch to make it a perfect venue for our daughters wedding. Every event went smoothly and our guests had a wonderful time.
Thank you to Donna and Leslie and all the staff at Rancho Mirando for the most beautiful wedding. Everything was with Texas hospitality , first class and grace.
You hard work , many long hours and attention to every detail made the wedding so magical for our daughter. My husband and I would highly recommend Rancho Mirando for the perfect wedding.

Rancho Mirando was the only venue we visited and when you do for yourself you will see why. Once you meet Leslie and her amazing mom Donna (who is in charge of florals and rentals) you will LOVE them both. Not only will you be in love with the ranch, which you have the entire weekend you will have them by your side the entire time to help you plan and to keep you sane. Your wedding day itself will be perfect, Leslie goes above and beyond. This is the place to get married, please don’t bother looking anywhere else!

I would give Rancho Mirando more than 5 stars!! Before we even visited the ranch we knew that we wanted to say "I Do" there! The views are stunning and the atmosphere is ideal for an outdoor Texas Hill Country Wedding! We absolutely loved working with Leslie and the rest of the Rancho Mirando team! From the beginning of our planning to our wedding night Leslie and Donna were there answering my multitude of questions and reassuring me that everything would be great! They were so thorough and genuinely wanted to do everything they could to make our wedding weekend perfect! We were able to relax and enjoy the weekend since we stayed on property in the "hacienda"! We felt right at home! We just got our photos back and we're still mesmerized by the beauty of the ranch! Thank you Rancho Mirando for making our wedding so magical!!

I am soooo unbelievably happy I got married at this venue. Having the place for the entire weekend was a life saver, especially since I got sick (of course) and had to move slowly with the setup and everything. The girls there were incredibly helpful, even when one of them was pregnant and on bed rest. We had them do our bouquets and they turned out beautiful. Seriously, with all the set up and planning that went in to even our relatively small wedding, I can't imagine having only a limited amount of time the day of. I couldn't be happier and definitely would recommend this venue!!

Rancho Mirando is the most beautiful venue in the Hill Country. My experience as a bride here was marvelous from beginning to end. Leslie and Donna are absolutely wonderful. They are sweet, kind, and very helpful. Both of these lovely ladies will feel like a part of your family by the end of the wedding process. Leslie was very hands on and was always quick to respond to my questions. The venue was the most important aspect of the wedding to me. I was looking for a venue that had a breathtaking view, a gorgeous site, and staff that was nice and easy to work with. Rancho Mirando offered all of this and more. My guests were in awe even before they arrived at Rancho Mirando. The drive to the property is GORGEOUS, which is exactly what you want to see when you drive through the hill country. I received many compliments on Rancho Mirando during and after the wedding. I could not have picked a better venue for my wedding. Rancho Mirando was perfect.

Leslie and Donna did an outstanding job helping me plan my wedding!!!! I can honestly say they went above and beyond the call of just venue owners!!! Every step of the way Leslie was there to help me get through anything!!!! The wedding planning process was actually really fun and come wedding day (thanks to the staff) it was stress free!!!
Rancho Mirando is more than just an ordinary wedding venue! Its raw and natural beauty added so much more character to my wedding that was truly priceless!!! Rancho Mirando, Leslie, and Donna will forever have a place in my heart!

Rancho Mirando is just easy to say in one word AWESOME. Leslie and Donna made my wedding a dream come true. I can not tell you how many people were blown away with the Ranch and how lovely everyone thought it was. If you want to get married in the Hill Country choose Rancho Mirando. You will not regret it. I still can't beleive how beautiful everything went and turned out. Use Donna for your florist and rentals! She took my vision and made it real even though I really never could make a true decision on the flowers. She did exactly what I wanted!! I never thought I would say this because I do not enjoy planning social events or parties in anyway but I wish I could do it all over again because Leslie and Donna made it fun! I am still so excited about how beautiful my wedding day went and the rehearsal dinner was AMAZING!! I could go on and on and on!!!

I could go on for hours about how great it was to work with Rancho Mirando and their owners Donna (mother) & Leslie (her daughter) for our wedding on 1/18/2014. I can’t tell you how great it was to have their hard work and support; I don’t know who worked harder on my wedding them or me. They have made a friend for life and I miss them every day since my wedding. The venue itself gives you extra ordinary flexibility and value for all you get; you must at least drive out there and meet them. They were also extremely good getting back to us, often within minutes. You have the house for a 3 day weekend with enough space for 14 people in an elegant brightly colored house with lively Spanish architecture and colors. The property is very impressive with multiple locations for the wedding, cocktails, and reception. I had our wedding at the wall, cocktails at the tent, and the reception at their beautiful reception hall. They make a great team and they helped make the rental & florals for our wedding painless for us. They made our yellow & orange color theme possible for a bright wedding full of life and more beautiful than I could imagine. I was thought I would only get a festive wedding but they were able to turn it into my dream wedding. The guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was. While other venues only sell you a time slot they are completely committed to making your wedding a success. Examples: Donna jumped on board making small painted potted trees for each of the 120 guests with a massive amount of manual effort including their table numbers and names with very little time to do it; the night before the rehearsal dinner Leslie insisted I let her track down a garter and dye it orange so I could get a good night’s sleep. They made us feel like an extended part of their family and made our wedding the best it could be despite our wedding coordinator (Alisha Anderson, separate review). They cared as much about the wedding as us. I love Rancho Mirando.

This is hands down the most beautiful venue in the Texas Hill country. The views are incredible and the guest house was perfect for accommodating us and our bridal party. Leslie and Donna were great to work with and took care of every little detail. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

What can you say about this Venue to express the beauty and overall feel of comfort. Both Leslie and Donna were so helpful and kindhearted. They both did so much to make our wedding feel special and warm. Donna and my mother worked together on the decor and I could not have been happier with all the work they did. It was beautiful! Not that the Ranch needs any help there.
Leslie and Donna made my family and I so welcomed on the Ranch. The hacienda was perfect. We were able to all get ready and yet still enjoy the time we had. Which is all you can really hope for on your wedding day.
Sarge had a blast too!
Thank you again Leslie and Donna, you two are some very sweet ladies!

I got married here in October 2013 and could not say more nice things about this venue and the mother/daughter team that owns & runs it. If you're looking for the best hill country view with owners who will treat you like family, look no further! Donna did our rentals and flowers for the wedding - she did an amazing job!! Leslie was more of my go to questions and logistics. They both were so helpful throughout the planning process and the wedding itself. Alicia, the in house coordinator for day of only also did a great job! I would highly recommend this place and wouldn't change a thing about my experience!

It has been 3 weeks since our wedding, and my wife and I are still in LaLa Land! What a breath taking venue! The drives in and out set the mood. My mother is still commenting on the town and Ranch. She was amazed at the scenery and elegance from top to bottom. Even her stone cold husband mentioned it was better than his daughters in Maryland....and he never compliments anything! The ladies involved made you feel taken care of. Every request was met with a YES and in haste. I would recommend this place for any event. I know it will always hold a special place in our heart! And we can't wait to go back again just to relive our perfect wedding day!

After looking at countless venues and attending numerous bridal expos, my husband and I fatefully fell upon Rancho Mirando and into the experienced and reassuring hands of Leslie, the head honcho at the Ranch. When we arrived at the ranch for the first time, we instantly knew that Rancho Mirando was where we wanted to get married. The views of the Texas Hill Country are by far the most beautiful and the house was able to accommodate both of our families, which ended up being our wedding gift to our parents. I pride myself on being a pretty easy going person but the idea of planning an out of town wedding with a guest list of 150+, I began to stress out. Luckily, Leslie saw my vision and helped with the tiny details that I never even thought about. Her vendor recommendations were top notch while also staying in our budget. The day of the wedding came and I woke up feeling at ease without the least bit of anxiety. I even took a nap I was so calm! The Ranch was full of warmth from the beautiful Texas sunset that overlooked our ceremony. The reception hall was filled with cool air from the open (and shut if you want) floor to ceiling windows. We had the most amazing wedding that we still have friends and family talk about how stunning our venue was and how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. I can really only give credit to Leslie, Donna and El Rancho who took my Texas Hill Country dream and brought it to life. I cannot express how special they and the Ranch are and I promise that you will too if picking Rancho Mirando as your venue.

My (now) husband and I were looking for a place outside the city with a nice view of the hill country. We wanted our families close to us as they were coming from overseas. We looked at about 10 places and we stopped looking after visiting Rancho Mirando. This place is much more that a wedding venue. The view is jaw dropping, the beautiful Mexican-styled hacienda was able to accommodate our families, and the fact that you rent it for the entire weekend made it much easier for planning and finishing my DIY projects. We had a small intimate wedding, but always received ample attention from the owners Leslie and Donna. We visited Rancho Mirando at least three times before the wedding and emailed constantly with both the owners and always received an answer within 24 hrs. They helped us plan every detail before the wedding and coordinated the entire event the day of the wedding. Although, our package included the basic chairs and tables, they have also rentals for anything else you may require (décor items, linens, serving ware…) at lower costs at the location so you don’t have to pay for delivery. All and all Rancho Mirando gave us the opportunity to have the wedding we had always wanted and we thank Leslie and Donna for making it all possible.

Our daughter and son-in-law were married at Rancho Mirando last year. We lucked into finding this so close to home and at the time it was not yet a wedding venue. Once we met Leslie though we had no doubt it was perfect place for the wedding. Over the following months Leslie thought of everything that we hadn't considered and made it happen. The wedding wall (beautiful) went up only a week before the wedding, the gorgeous covered patio for the reception was just completed, yet we showed up to see candles and lighting that was just perfect. We were able to pick our own caterers, cake baker and bartenders, but she also had lists of recommendations she offered. The ranch itself is beautiful and overlooks Devil' Backbone so the view is breathtaking. Leslie and her Mom stepped in and did EVERYTHING behind the scenes and it seemed as though everything just took care of itself, but of course they were behind the scenes making it look easy! We can't say enough about this venue and Leslie was like family by the time the wedding actually took place. She's really the wedding planner most want, but few can afford and compliments this property beautifully. We had several venues lined up to see, but after meeting Leslie at Rancho Mirando and walking the property, we cancelled all the other visits....it's that good. Linda Cullitan

Among many decisions we made for our wedding, one decision we were highly satisfied with was selecting "Rancho Mirando" as our wedding location. This is one of THE BEST location in Hill Country with amazing scenic views, enough to put your guests in awe. Leslie, our Coordinator was not only highly professional, understanding, people oriented but also helped us thoughout the wedding process with almost every detail. All the vendors chosen (especially the Caterer, DJ & the Photographer) based on Leslie's recommended list of vendors were extremely talented and professional as well. All this was further substantiated by the compliments we got from all the guests later.
I would HIGHLY recommend Rancho Mirando Guest Ranch to anyone planning to have one of the most memorable moments of their life.

“Hey Four Seasons, the brides are calling and they want their deposits back! You’re pretty and all but oh so boring and typical” QUEUE IN RANCHO MIRANDO TO THE RESCUE HERE!
This review is long overdue. My wife and I were actually the 1st couple to ever book a wedding at Rancho Mirando and our experience was nothing short of amazing!! My wife and I simply refer to Leslie and Donna as the dynamite duo!! These woman do it all!!! Marriage counseling prior to walking down the isle? They can likely assist, I put nothing past the dynamite duo!
The grounds are stunning!! The options seem to have no bounds!! There are so many different places you
can marry on the grounds and all a wise choice!! Our wedding party was able to stay with us on grounds in beautiful sleeping accomodations! And with the dynamite duo doing all the work we were able to RELAX!!! I have been in a lot of wedding parties and relaxing seemed out of the question for those poor joes!
It was beautiful. It was easy. They do everything, it's all your vendors rolled into one.
5 stars is simply not enough for Rancho Mirando!!!!!!!

I wanted unique and beautiful! A place where my guests had an awesomely unique experience! For an over the top one stop Luxury shop, look no further! Catering options w/out the restrictions! Beautiful china/cutlery, crystal options and alike! Rancho does it all! Leslie has a gift of taking your idea and letting you know which different unique accessories the Rancho has to really bring it to life!

My wife and I had our wedding at Rancho Mirando in November 2012. It truly exemplifies the traditional "Hill Country Wedding" as you can read from the other reviews of the grounds, and YES they are Gorgeous. The grassy area offered for the ceremony provides a 360 degree view of the infamous Central Texas rolling hills and strategically placed on the highest vantage point of the property the view from the reception is breathtaking! Also the Mother/ Daughter (Donna/ Leslie) duo of the venue Owner/ Operator(s) helps alleviate the stress of wedding planning. We've been told by multiple guests this was the most Beautiful Wedding Venue they had ever seen and we couldn't agree more!

My Husband and I had our wedding here March 2013. There are not enough words to express how amazing this venue really is and how sweet / hardworking it's owners / workers are.
The grounds are beautiful all year long and you have an amazing view no matter where you go on the property. Plus you have the best of both worlds...an indoor and outdoor venue and a large house for your wedding party or family to stay and get ready for the big day. And for those out of town brides, they even provide decorations and other rentals to make the wedding planning that much easier.
The owners / workers were so easy and great to work with. My wedding day started off a rainy, stressful mess. But those ladies did everything in their power to keep me calm and make my wedding day a one of a kind with or without the rain.

I had my wedding here in September of 2013 and it was amazing!!! Leslie and Donna were a dream to work with and made us feel so special! TOP NOTCH team! They were super friendly and laid back, but very professional and experienced! Our guests went on and on about how beautiful of a venue it was and how they had never been to a wedding like it. It was my dream wedding come true! It has amazing views and a magical feel to it at night. All the lights around the trees and the hanging lanterns add to the ambiance. Thank you so much Leslie for keeping me calm when I was stressing about everything coming together. It all turned out amazing and I thank you sooo much! I’m so glad that I got married there and I now have beautiful photographs that I will cherish for the rest of my life!

I am writing as a parent of the bride. I can say without any hesitation that Rancho MIrando is an absolutely fantastic wedding venue. Our event was beyond our dreams ( and we planned all of this long distance). The first thing that is impressive is the site itself and I will say that the real place is 100% better than the great photos show. The best part of our experience was the owners and staff. Leslie and Donna were miraculous. There was nothing that they would not try and nothing that they did not achieve with grace, calm and efficiency. We even weathered a rehearsal dinner under the "tent" as the tail-end of a hurricane blew through!! They are truly lovely people whose goal is to give you the best darn wedding you can hope for. The value of this venue is evident when you realize that 14 people get to stay on the Ranch for an entire weekend. We had late night s'mores and a Sunday brunch for the out-of town guests that we were able to prepare ourselves in the hacienda.
So my recommendation is thus: Rancho MIrando will be the best choice you will ever make. Take the time to visit and experience the charm and beauty of the venue and meet Leslie.

There could not have been a better and more beautiful venue for our wedding than Rancho Mirando. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing this place is! Leslie, the owner, is absolutely incredible. She continuously went above and beyond to do everything we could ever ask (and many things we never asked) to make our day perfect. She is one of the most genuine people we have ever met and could not thank her enough. The venue is gorgeous and the rentals are very high quality and fairly priced. Alisha Anderson worked as our in house coordinator and did a great job on the day of to make everything run very smooth. We did not worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Having the lodging and venue for the entire weekend takes away so much stress and allows for a very personal experience! Rancho Mirando is stunning and we absolute recommend this venue to anyone! This is the perfect venue for the wedding of your dreams!! We still have guests commenting on how unique and beautiful it is!

Much could be said about how amazing Rancho Mirando is but nothing we can say would compare with the sense of amazement you get the first time you walk out the doors of the main house and are greeted by the beautiful Texas Hill Country. In the months of planning that were to follow we sincerely appreciated the steady guidance and flexibility of owners Leslie and Donna. At each step of the way they remained readily available and responsive, even through construction of the beautiful new reception pavilion. We appreciated their understanding of our vision for the wedding and their ability to work within our budget to help us realize our dream wedding day. From the moment we arrived on Friday until we departed on Sunday everything ran exactly as we were told it would. Leslie and Donna were constantly available while giving us our space to enjoy the weekend with family and friends. As the Saturday evening ceremony came around and our friends and family had gathered, all the stresses of wedding planning were a distant memory. Saying “I do” in the glow of a spectacular Hill Country sunset we were as happy and satisfied as a bride and groom could possibly be. After a cocktail hour around the pool and grotto area our guests moved up the hill to the stunning new pavilion for a reception we will never forget. After dinner, our guests had a great time dancing the night away on the indoor/outdoor dance floor until it was time for us to depart. We cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have a multipurpose facility like Rancho Mirando for our wedding weekend. The ability to have the rehearsal dinner, lodging, pre-wedding preparations, ceremony, and reception on one site significantly reduced stress and allowed us to enjoy our weekend. The design of Rancho Mirando meant that each event had its own unique character and left us with the feeling that each event was its own. We had the wedding weekend of our dreams at Rancho Mirando and couldn't be happier!!

It's all about location! Where you have your wedding, is what sets the rest of your wedding plans. Rancho Mirando is phenomenal and a truly magical venue. The architecture and landscaping is just the start of this ranch's awe and beauty. My husband and I originally had our wedding set to be at a church, that is until we met Leslie and visited Rancho Mirando. Once you step foot on the grounds, you know there is no other choice. In front of the Hacienda is an awe-inspiring area overlooking Texas Hill Country with sensual lavender, peacocks, stunning landscape, and a covered walkway any bride would be lucky to walk down to meet her groom. The Hacienda itself is so warm, inviting, and perfect for rehearsal dinner. Not to mention all the glorious rooms and space that allowed my family and maid of honor to stay with me all weekend. Behind the Hacienda is more astonishing landscaping and two covered areas where I had my reception. The guests traveled from the awe-inspiring front (where we held the wedding), around to a breathtaking tent under the sunset and then stars. It was truly magical, and Leslie made it all possible. She is down to earth and amazing to work with. She helped to ensure the entire weekend was all about us and that we had anything and everything we could ever need.
My immediate family stayed at the ranch with me Friday through Sunday, and all of our guests were able to have affordable accommodations nearby. There is plenty of parking for everyone. Included in the pricing, is the ability to have some of your guests stay the weekend, as well as the ranch providing everything as far as tables, chairs, linens, tableware, vases, votives, etc. It was awesome, I did not have to go through the craze of rentals. It is truly a complete package!! This review could never do Rancho Mirando and Leslie the justice they deserve. Check out the website and meet with Leslie just once, and I promise your search for the perfect venue is over.

WOW!! I can not even begin to express how incredible this venue is! The views, the versatility of various locations for the events from rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception and even day after....each breathtaking! We had a PERFECT wedding weekend at Rancho Mirando and used every space we could on the property as it is just spectacular! The Hacienda was a perfect place for bride, mom's and bridesmaids to stay the night before the wedding and get ready day of...many special moments together! Was also a very special touch for the bride and groom on their wedding night. The views, the venues, the staff......simply amazing!!
Donna did all our florals and decor working well within our budget to create a simply stunning wedding and reception. It was just beyond our wildest dreams! We also used her handmade dinnerware which provided a unique and special touch to our tables. I can not express how wonderful (and easy) it was to work with her and every detail was perfect. Our guests were blown away throughout the whole weekend and truly our vision came to life.
Leslie managed the flow and set up and was there for every need that we had while staying on the property. These ladies are truly a delight and we felt like they were part of our family with the warmth and special attention we received. Every aspect just amazing.
I can not recommend Rancho Mirando enough for your wedding weekend. Whatever your vision, whatever your dream for your wedding weekend this is the place to make it come true.

From the moment I met Donna at Rancho Mirando, I knew this is where I wanted to get married. The property has several beautiful areas you can choose from for various wedding events like rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. It is all yours for the weekend, no sharing with other weddings. The views are spectacular. I love that there is a house where you can stay the entire wedding weekend so that you spend more time with your family and less time on logistics of getting to and from places.
Besides this, Donna made me feel so welcome by asking lots of questions and trying to get to know us and understand our vision for our wedding. She made me feel like ours was the only wedding she was working on (and that wasn’t true!). Other venues immediately discussed contracts and pricing and made the experience feel very impersonal. Donna is an amazing florist to work with because I knew nothing about flowers, and she understood my vision and still create florals beyond what I imagined! Guests raved about how beautiful they were. Donna is also a talented ceramic artist. When I fell in love with her handmade china, she worked all year to make enough for us to have at our wedding!
Leslie, her daughter, was invaluable as our coordinator. She thought of so many details that we never would have thought of when reviewing our contracts and planning our schedule. She has lots of experience with weddings, and when I didn’t know what decision to make, she was always able to provide great advice. On our wedding day, she was able to keep everything flowing smoothly, and still attended to my husband and me constantly. Through the chaos, she always seemed calm. She even brought us wedding cake at 2am!
We are still glowing thinking about our special day. Many people complimented us on the amazing venue, florals, and decorations, but really, we owe this to Rancho Mirando. It is without a doubt the best vendor we hired. They really went above and beyond for us.

I was thrilled with my wedding weekend at Rancho Mirando. Leslie was beyond helpful, and she was great at easing my fears of the rain taking over our day. She and her team did an amazing job at transforming the reception hall with the gobs of decorations and candles and themey trinkets we brought - we had a lot going on! Donna went above and beyond to get the navy anenomes I wanted in my bouquet, despite them being a tough flower to get at that time. She even helped carry my little arthritic dog/ring bearer down the stairs to the aisle. My cousin's from Cali who are very well traveled, said it was the nicest wedding venue they have ever been to. Our friends and family still talk about our day many months later. I'm so glad I chose this venue...we booked it site unseen (only via web) over a year in advance and had no regrets!

Leslie with RM is absolutely amazing. She made our experience easy and less stressful than it typically is. Rancho Mirando is a great value and it was nice to have a mini-destination type feel. The venue is gorgeous. The placement of ceremony wall is the only downfall. The sun sets directly in your face so if you're having an evening wedding, keep that in mind.
