    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.

    Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch's reply:

    It was so fun to work with you and I loved your red dress and the merged cultures that made the wedding so special!! Thank you !!

    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.

    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.

    Dear Glynis,
    You were a dream to work with and did a fabulous job giving Kyra a perfect wedding! You can come work here anytime :))

    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.

    Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch's reply:

    Thank you Sneha for the lovely review. We both look forward to following your careers and seeing how your life unfolds. And visiting with your parents in their new Mark Canada house :))

    Great Wedding in 2021

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Rancho Mirando Luxury Guest Ranch's reply:

    Thank you so much Kristina. Mark and I really enjoyed getting to know you and Dan and meet the extended Swiss family. Even without a wedding it was such a beautiful weekend!!

    Amazing wedding venue in every way!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    We could not have wanted a more beautiful place for our daughter's wedding. Donna and Leslie did everything in their power to make sure our daughter's special day was truly special. Would highly, highly recommend having your wedding at here.

    Incredible experience!!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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.
