Top Features to Look for in a Ranch Venue

When planning your wedding day to perfection, you want to make sure every single detail is well taken care of, including the venue's must-have essentials. These are the top features to look for in a ranch venue.

Do you need a reception hall? When getting married at your dream wedding location, you will likely appreciate an outdoor patio, a garden, or a dining hall with all the amenities for a fun and enjoyable gathering.

How about on-site catering? You will find that many of the ranches on our app offer on-site catering, but if your preferred venue doesn't serve food, plan your menu and book your catering services in advance. You may have to hire serving staff, too.

How will you entertain guests? Is a hot tub on your fun things to do at a bachelorette party list? Or a pool table for your stag do? Perhaps you want to hire a live music band and may need a large dance floor. Check with your venue if they can accommodate your wishes before booking.

Pros and Cons of Events at Ranch Venues

Between remote locations, beautiful landscapes, and a laid-back atmosphere, a ranch venue is a stunning location for events, but it does come without its cons.

Advantages

• Ranch wedding venues are large properties, and if you want to stay on-site, you will likely find a great room, a bridal suite, or other types of comfortable accommodation.

• Ranches offer picturesque surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere away from the daily grind. If you want to escape completely, find yourself a Texas ranch with restored historic cabins, ideal for a wedding party, a bachelorette or a retirement.

• Ranche venues provide unique wedding photo opportunities due to the gorgeous backdrops and atmosphere.

Disadvantages

• Outdoor celebrations in the natural surroundings are left at the mercy of nature. If a wedding by the creek is what you want, make sure you have an indoor backup plan in case of inclement weather.

• Most ranches are located in the countryside, far from the excitement of the city, public transport, shopping, and attractions. If you are not here for the scenery and relaxing vibe, a Texas ranch may not be the perfect spot for your celebration.

• Parking can be another challenge with ranch weddings. Guests may have to park on the grass or dirt roads, which could be tricky for those wearing high heels. A valet service may come in handy in this situation.

Planning Your Ranch Event

We take care of all the details when you book the perfect Texas ranch or wedding venue, including this useful guide for seamless planning.

Create a Guest List – Ranch weddings can be over the top, even when it comes to the number of guests. Don't let the large space trick you into inviting everyone you can think of. After all, you want to be surrounded by the people you love the most.

On-Site Lodging – Ranch wedding venues are typically further from the nearest city, and some guests won't be able to travel back, especially if they've had a few drinks. Check if the event venue offers on-site accommodations for guests traveling from afar and guests who want to enjoy the beauty of ranches for a little longer.

Consider the Catering – Whether you're throwing a birthday bash or an engagement dinner, food has to be on top of your list, especially when you are on a ranch far away from city takeouts with instant delivery. If your chosen venue doesn't have on-site catering, arrange for food to be delivered on the same day of your event.

Saving Money on a Ranch Venue

Ranch weddings and parties can empty your wallet fast if you don't plan carefully. We help you find ways to host an unforgettable event without the hefty price tag. Booking a ranch property on the Giggster app will cost you as little as $20/hour.

Take advantage of all-inclusive packages.

It's hard to resist deals and discounts, especially when planning an event on a tight budget. Many ranch event spaces offer all-inclusive packages that can help you save money on catering, accommodation, decoration, or event planning.

Book outside peak seasons.

Summer is the most popular wedding season and undoubtedly the most expensive. Booking your event in early October or late April may not only help save a ton of money, but you are likely to enjoy more pleasant weather than the scorching summer heat.

Choose your vendors wisely.

Between decorations, food, entertainment, cake, and party favors, your event costs can skyrocket if you don't do your research. Look for local vendors, friends, or family members who can help with some aspects of the event planning. Or choose a venue that can offer you a list of reputable vendors with decent prices.
