Safari Texas Ranch Reviews

Beth was incredible in the process. Planning a wedding can be an incredibly overwhelming task, and she made it so easy. She was responsive, friendly, and highly effective at her job. I would HIGHLY recommend Beth and Safari Texas for your wedding needs.

Recently celebrated a wedding here in the Magnolia Ballroom for ~330 people. Working with the coordinators went so smoothly and they made sure to answer all the questions we had - regarding anything and everything!

We worked with Cassidy for the event, and during the event she made sure to keep us updated with the status of food and drinks and anything else.
Phenomenal service here! Would love to come back for another event.

We are so happy that we selected the Safari Texas Ranch for our Wedding/Reception venue. Our coordinator ANUSHA, was by far the best person to take care of all of our requests, visions and crazy ideas. Thank you STR and Anusha!!!!

We recently had our wedding at the Safari Lodge. It was breathtaking and everything I imagined and more. Alli helped us along the entire journey and we couldn't be more appreciative for everything she did for us. The communication was amazing and on the day of the wedding, she would consistently check in on us to see if we needed anything. She even above and beyond to help me find a last-minute makeup artist when mine didn't show up. We couldn't be happier to have had our special day here.

If you're debating where to have your wedding, look no further than Safari Texas Ranch. The next time we have an event, we're coming back here for our future daughters Quince, sweet 16, or any event really. We will forever recommend this place to everyone we know.

We had our wedding at safari Texas in October (Roman garden and palm pavilion room). Both areas were so gorgeous. Beth was our Safari coordinator and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is so kind and truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect in ever way. We couldn’t have done it with out her.

Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious!

Safari Texas exceeded any expectations I could have had. Their entire team was so attentive and made my wife and I feel at ease the whole night. Would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to get catering done.

Safari Texas has made my dream wedding became true. Especially Beth, she knows how to take care of everything for me and definitely make everything less stressful. She’s not just doing things for her customers because it’s her job, but she does it because she really cares about them. I would definitely comeback here for my future events.

We would like to thank Alli and Beth for helping to make our wedding day beautiful. They were always professional and always willing to assist us in any way. They made the process enjoyable from beginning to end.

Thank you so much Alli & Beth @ Safari Texas Ranch!
Mr. & Mrs. Rebeles- Wedding 3/11/2023

Beautiful ballroom we had a guest count of around 450 and needed to accomodate for over 60 children. They had high chairs and buffet for the kids and made sure all our needs for our guests were met. Everyone loved the food and the bar was amazing!

Safari is a great affordable venue for weddings. Sohini was our catering manager, and she accommodated all our needs and made everything ran so smooth the day of. We loved working with her and she made our lives so easy. Would definitely recommend working with her!

We do not regret the decision of deciding to go with Safari Ranch as our wedding venue. It turned out perfect and we were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and thoughtfulness that provided by the staff. Our venue spokesperson was Alli and she was very detailed and thoughtful during the whole process. She accommodated to our every needs and was very flexible on our guest’s diet restrictions (providing separate plates based on dietary restrictions). My husband and I were not a couple that wanted a full blown wedding (we did it for our parents), but we do not regret it as everything went smooth and there was minimal stress involved with the assistance of Alli. I also appreciated that they are also not a type of venue who tries to charge for every upgrade (a lot of venues will charge you every dime and penny). We got a lot of compliments on the venue (roman gardens/magnolia) room. We didn’t feel the need to decorate much because the outdoor ceremony area and reception rooms were beautiful.

Our reception event was at Safari Texas Ranch. It is a beautiful venue and they have various sized ballrooms to fit any event and taste needs both outdoors and indoors. They have several customizable options for food / drinks and basic table chair decor..they even had an in-house Indian chef who could cater Indian food..our coordinator Sohini walked us through the entire process smoothly.she was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She worked with us to make critical decisions like guest count which drastically changed due to the Omicron situation. She also helped decide on food options and made appropriate suggestions without any imposition..During the event she kept checking in to make sure everything was smooth.. she immediately made a change to the table setup right when the event was about to start..the staff was very courteous and constantly coordinated any changes..we are very happy we choose Safari Texas Ranch for our event !!

For purposes of describing our experience, I'll just share a letter of thanks that we sent to the venue after they hosted our reception:


Dear Safari Texas Ranch,

We wanted to let you know how deeply appreciative we are of your hosting and handling of our wedding reception of January 22 in your Infinity Ballroom. It really could not have gone better than it did, and we thank your staff for their efforts and hospitality. Not only was it a stress-free and wonderful experience for us, but our guests loved being there and gushed to us with praise - about the food, about the venue, and so on. So thank you again. This was the biggest night of our lives, and everything you did was noticed and felt, and we are so happy.

We’d like to just properly acknowledge with some specificity some of the people / aspects of the service:
The wait staff were so professional and courteous. Everything ran on time. And honestly, we didn’t even notice them. They were invisible in the best possible way, if that makes sense. They did a fantastic job!
The gentleman who were at the two bars were so nice and welcoming to our guests. We received many comments from our guests about what a good job they did!
There was a gentleman who was helping Sohini Tomar the night of our reception. I sincerely apologize - I cannot remember his name :( But as the groom, I spoke with him several times during the course of the night. He was so helpful and conscientious. He did many small things to help us without asking, and asked us about some of the big things. Particularly at the end of the night, he did us a great big favor by having the food and cake packed in such a neat and tidy manner. All of it was greatly appreciated. I wish I could remember his name, but it’s escaping me. Sohini will know!
A big thank you to everyone who we interacted with, even for a moment during the entire A-to-Z of engaging with your venue. The personnel in the office who we briefly spoke with when we dropped off payments. The personnel who hosted us during our tasting. I’m surely forgetting some people, but just know that everyone who helped us was wonderful.
The chefs! The food was incredible. Just to give some context, our menu had both Vietnamese and Indian food items. We know this is probably fairly irregular, and wanted to thank the administration for allowing us to have such a unique food experience for our guests. All of the guests loved it. I cannot emphasize this enough. And the food itself was incredible. I cannot tell you how many people on both sides of our wedding guests asked about the food, where was it from, etc, and just expressed how much they enjoyed it. We’ve all been to weddings where perhaps the venue is an A but the food is maybe a B or a C. We were so happy that the food for our party was incredible. Again, everyone really loved it - and to be very honest, this was a TOUGH crowd who you all wowed, who have all had their share of less-than-great Indian and Vietnamese dining experiences. You all did it beautifully.

And finally, a HUGE thank you to Sohini Tomar, who was our point of contact throughout the whole experience of planning and executing on our reception. She was so easy to work with, and we were always sure that Sohini listened to us and was able to address our particular concerns or sticking points to the best of her ability. That is honestly all you can want. We know for example that Sohini helped make sure that some late arriving guests were properly fed and seated, and it means alot to us that she was able to make them feel welcome without a hitch. Again, everything on 1/22 went beautifully, and we know how much of a big role Sohini played in making that happen for us.

We’ve tried to capture some of this feedback for you, so that we can properly acknowledge what a great experience you’ve provided to us on such an important occasion for both of our families. It’s not just our own feelings and observations, but the feelings and observations of our family and friends who also helped us considerably on that day and were also appreciative of all that you did, and the feelings of our guests who really just enjoyed the event and were happy to be there with us. That is to say, there’s been alot of feedback and it was all good.

There’s an expression that kids these days use: giving someone their flowers. Which is to say, making sure that someone deserving of praise and recognition is properly appreciated and acknowledged. We hope this letter gives you the feeling of receiving a bouquet of thanks from us. That is very much our intention :)

With the utmost appreciation,

Shourjo, with Mary

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at Safari Texas Ranch. Alyssa was especially helpful - from our first contact to the day of the event she was always available and working with us to help us plan the ideal day. We picked from the Halal Indian menu which had a great range of options, and again Alyssa was very helpful in putting together a menu that catered to all of our guests. Our ballroom was ready to go at 10 am the day of our event, and the staff on the day of the event were very friendly, professional and courteous, and the day-of coordinator helped ensure everything ran smoothly. The gold chargers and Chiavari chairs we added really helped make the room look even fancier, while the food was a big hit with all of our guests.

The only negative experience we had was with a person who claimed to be the owner of the property. Three hours before our event, as we were setting up the room, the gentleman came in, arguing loudly with other customers, and sat at one of the tables we had already set up with our wedding favors. We didn't say anything and this went on for 20-25 minutes. When they left, we went to go fix the seat where he had moved everything around, and in that time he came back and yelled at us to "let him sit on HIS chair." This was extremely unprofessional behavior and unnecessary stress added to our day mere hours before our event. This individual needs to learn how to deal with customers, as he was the only negative part of our experience with Safari Texas, where the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and professional.

Alyssa Box at Safari was superb! She worked with us and gave us such an awesome deal! She was extremely professional and knows what she is doing! It was a pleasure working with her!!!

Just wanted to reach out to Safari Management and Staff and say "Thank You so much for all your help and guidance in making my Daughter's wedding a great success".
Kudos to Sohini. From start till the end, we could not have asked for any better support, you were very cooperative and easy to work with. Along the journey since last one and half year, you have exceeded our expectations. We all are very grateful to have you on our team from Safari. The venue was great and all the setup and amenities were awesome.
Sohini, You have always been smiling even when we throw curve balls at you, not an easy job, including the last minute change for relocating the DJ table.
I would acknowledge all the staff that supported our event.

Had the best experience i could have ever wanted from Texas Safari Ranch! Alli was wonderful and helped out so much throughout the entire process. They made sure everything that we asked for was what we got the day of our event. From the venue to the table set up to the food, everything was perfect! Tyler helped us throughout the day of the event and he made sure everything was running so smoothly! Thank you so much to the great team for helping us out!

Fast and very reliable. They did everything I asked for and more

Overall outstanding experience. Both office staff (especially Alison) and planning/support staff (especially Sohini) provided great service. The Indian food cooked on site was authentic and delicious. We strongly recommend this venue.

Sohini at Safari was very nice and professional, loved working with her. Her team made sure everything was as planned for the day of our wedding. The food was amazing - we had in-house catering of Indian food and the guests loved it. The veranda ballroom was beautifully decorated on our day. Servers and staff were nice and professional and did everything in a timely manner. Everyone was well taken care of. For the extent of their services, it's a great deal for the value. The team was very flexible with many of our requests. Sohini is very attentive to detail, easy to work with, quick to respond. She was very cooperative with our event coordinator as well. We highly recommend Safari Texas Ranch for events.

Sohini made everything perfect. Exactly what I imagined.

We just had our rehearsal dinner at the Safari Lodge and our Wedding Reception in the Grand Ball Room! Everything was amazing and it was so easy working with Alyssa planning the events. I have attended many functions at Safari Texas and have hosted a few and I am NEVER disappointed. ALWAYS EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!

We had our son's graduation in May 2021 and we had an excellent event yesterday and the guests have been pouring accolades over the arrangements and the quality of the food. The entire staff was professional, courteous and were on top of their game. Special thanks to Alyssa Box for being there for almost of all of the event and making sure our needs were met.
