“I would highly recommend getting married at Riverside Ranch. Freddie even took us to the ceremony on the back of his truck and we did the pontoon ride down as our entrance into the reception, all of our guests thought the day was amazing and everyone commented how beautiful the ranch was.” Casey W

Chris and Fred were very accommodating and have a very beautiful location. It was very convenient having the ceremony and reception in the one location. We had so much fun rocking up to our reception via pontoon and enjoyed having a bon fire. Thank you so much!

Banquet dining or cocktail style?

Will it be better to have a banquet dining or cocktail style for guests of around 100 or more??

Riverside Ranch - Weddings

We notice more and more of our couples opt for cocktail style catering combined with a few tables and chairs (to seat approx 40). Share entree and dessert platters make it easy for grazing in a cocktail style reception. Due to the vibe of our outdoor rustic venue a cocktail style reception suits our more casual atmosphere. Yet couples are still choosing sit down dining even if they hire food trucks, ie. gourmet pizza, paella, gnochhi, etc.

how important is it to view a venue in person?

Riverside Ranch - Weddings

A MUST DO! We've found couples repeatedly say our venue is better than the website and video, yet often they say this is not the case. With the financial outlay for your venue, if you cannot visit at least have a family member or close friend visit and take photos. Also couples have booked with us because they have felt comfortable meeting us and discovering our casual, relaxed attitude. 

is it best to book vendors who have worked together before?

Riverside Ranch - Weddings

Booking vendors that are familiar with one another does make life easier for you, as well as the owners, planner and vendors. Once couples book with us we supply them with a preferred 'supplier's list'.
