    Best venue and staff

    This venue was amazing!!! Carrie and Carolyn made the planning process so much easier than I thought it was going to be, and were so great to work with. The venue was beyond beautiful. Our guests kept talking about how great the food was as well. Wonder valley was a thousand perfect worth the price. It is a great deal. We loved how convenient all the onsite lodging was as well. The wonder valley team really worked their magic so I could have my dream wedding. The whole experience wonder valley provided was just amazing. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. So many positive things to say!

    Wonder Valley is where my husband and I were married and celebrated our 10th anniversary. They are a fabulous venue and have a superb staff. Everyone at the resort is kind, friendly and extremely accommodating. When it comes to hosting an event at Wonder Valley, the event coordinators and team are very well organized and communicative to make sure your event or special occasion runs smoothly. Not only that, the resort is so beautiful. It feels like a hidden gem in the middle of Central Valley.

    Wonder Valley Ranch Resort's reply:

    Kaela! Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate you and your family for the returned business and referrals! We are delighted by the amazing relationship and friendship we have established with you and your family and look forward to many years of your return on your anniversary! Congrats on your 10 year anniversary. It is our pleasure to have been part of your special day, yet again!
    -Carrie and Carolyn.

    E + N 11.5.2021

    I reached out to the resort over 2 years ago when we started looking for venues. Ultimately, I came back to Wonder Valley and decided to schedule a consultation. We chose Wonder Valley because its not just a wedding venue, it’s a family owned resort, maintained year-a-round for different camps and events. It is a place that will be available to us for years to come, we can spend Valentines Day here, or even our anniversary! There are tons of beautiful venues, but nothing that felt this personable. We met with Carrie during our consultation and we were lucky enough to have her as our day of coordinator and our go to girl every day leading up to our Wedding day.
    Carrie is a wonderful person! She is calm, collected, has great ideas, and has great resource recommendations for additional wants/needs.
    Carrie and her staff communicated well with us, and made sure we were always on track with updated invoices, arranging the food tasting, and planning meeting. They were available to us when we had additional questions and we were also able to visit the venue if we wanted, we just had to call and let them know we were coming.
    *In addition to this venue, you will need to hire a florist, photographer, and DJ.

    We chose to have our rehearsal dinner catered by the resort and we also stayed the night before the wedding at the resort. I felt this helped us all unwind and get those nerves out before the big day.
    Dinner was good, they had the room decorated for us, and made more than enough food! After dinner, we were able to walk around the resort, check out the reception hall, and the boys even managed to fish in the pond. I met Greg who was available all night for any needs or concerns we had. There were gazebos and nice patio furniture in front of our rooms, we were outside laughing and having a great time until 1 in the morning! From where we were sitting, we could Greg hard at work, setting up the reception hall and making sure everything was in place! I thought this was so cool and it helped make the wedding day less rushed.

    The day of our wedding, the girls and I headed to the bridal suite. It was EARLY and we all stayed up way too late. We met Johnny who opened the room for us, apparently he could tell we were tired because he brought us fresh coffee and creamer! LOL He was very kind and happy to help. He also provided the iced water, and ice for our bottles.
    Later in the morning Carrie showed up and was ready to help in anyway she could. She made sure the additional patio furniture we ordered, was where we wanted it, she made sure the florist had what they needed, checked in with the cook, and made sure our sentimental items were in their places as well. Her attitude is always on point, she’s great! Carrie realized we did not receive our petals for the flower girl to use so she and another employee picked white petals off the roses in the garden. Which was appreciated because I had already accepted the fact that we didn’t have other options. As you can tell, hiring an additional coordinator isn’t necessary. Every step of the way was calm and enjoyable because every staff member had our backs.

    The reception hall is big enough for a lot of guests, and no one feels crowded. Our food was really good, the chef made sure the meat was cooked to our request. (Before the wedding you will have a food tasting, this includes appetizer choices, salads, sides, and main course options). The bar was full of options and fairly priced. We chose to do a cash bar to save some money. Our bartended made THE BEST watermelon mojito, highly recommend requesting it. We had a great time on the dance floor and even got a dance out of one of the servers, she kept in classy and fun. The only thing I recommend is paying extra to have the night last longer. Also, delicate a family member or wedding party person to clean out the bridal suite for you, so you aren’t ending your night with figuring out who’s stuff is who’s.
    At the end of the night we stayed in the newlywed cabin! The cabin is pretty small but it is cute and away from the regular hotel rooms.

    We wrapped up our wedding weekend the next morning by meeting all of our family and friends, who stayed the night, at the breakfast lodge. Breakfast was buffet style and was everything we needed after a party night.

    As you can see, I could go on and on about this place LOL
    I truly value meaning full relationships and memories and Wonder Valley did that for us. It’s nice to know that this beautiful venue will always be there for us if we want to take a walk down memory lane, or just spend the night away from our busy lives.

    Beautiful Venue! Amazing Staff

    Everyone at Wonder Valley Ranch helped made my day absolutely so special. We had so many people staying the night, the wedding was on a Sunday and we had people flying in from 5 different countries - yet the team at Wonder Valley made sure everything was absolutely perfect for us. The grounds are perfect, the horse-drawn cart came at the absolute perfect time we walked down the isle and everything was just magical. We received so many compliments on how BEAUTIFUL the wedding was and how fun the activities and grounds were on the day before. If you want amazing food (we did Top Sirloin, Sundried Tomato Penne Pasta and Mash Potatoes, Asparagus). No matter your style, I highly recommend Wonder Valley Ranch for your event.

    Everything I ever wanted!

    I always knew I wanted to get married outside, and this was the place that made it happen. I loved that everything was provided for us at Wonder Valley. They set us up with a Bridal Suite and a Honeymoon cottage for the night of! Everything was on time, and the staff and coordinator rocked. Loved every second of my wedding. Plus side, it was beautiful from every angle.

    I couldn't even imagine any place having better service and catering to clients than Wonder Valley! Even more than just the gorgeous grounds for a picturesque wedding, the staff at wonder Valley was amazing from the first time we went to look at the venue. From the very beginning, even after we had to change our date after we put our deposit down, because of a deployment, they came up with a solution quickly and had multiple options and no change to the contract except for the date and room prices! Our wedding coordinator, Madyson, worked diligently to make our night special and made sure we had everything we needed or wanted. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone who is looking for any event! Thank you Wonder Valley!!

    We had an absolutely perfect wedding at Wonder Valley! We are from out of town (planned our wedding from NYC) and the WV staff was nothing but helpful and friendly throughout our entire process. Our guests came for the entire weekend - many from all around the US and several were international) and the staff was incredibly accommodating and bent over backwards to ensure that our guests were happy and had everything they needed. The staff even helped me put welcome bags in every guests room! When we had a few more people than anticipated at our rehearsal dinner, the team jumped into action and got us an extra table. I couldn't have found something to stress about if I tried! Everyone we encountered throughout the weekend was absolutely awesome; from our wedding team Carolyn and Ger to the front desk staff (you rock ladies!) to manager Matt to the wait staff - everyone was ready to help with a smile. The facilities were lovely, and we had everything we could have wanted for our dream wedding. We'll never be able to thank you enough, Wonder Valley! We love you!

    I would love to thank EVERYONE at Wonder Valley for EVERYTHING!!! From the first time I stepped foot on Wonder Valley property to when I left the afternoon after my wedding, my husband and I were treated with the utmost respect!
    Carolyn responded to all my emails (with multiple questions in each one) in a very timely manner. She also went above and beyond on the morning of my wedding to make sure every need of the groom, groomsmen, bride, bridesmaids, family members were taken care of!
    Laura made sure everything went smoothly from ceremony into reception. Any problems or questions she addresses with the Mother of the Bride, so I (The Bride) didn't have to stress.
    Reception staff, Security Gaurds, Office staff, cleaners- every person whom works for Wonder Valley is polite, professional l, and goes above their job to make sure everything is perfect.
    Thank you Wonder Valley!! You made my dream wedding come true and everything went smoothly!! Thank you so much for all of your help! You went above and beyond my expectations! Jason and I appreciate it more then words could say.

    Thank you,
    Mrs. Wilkerson
