So Red Ridge is a 10/10! Bethany and Chris are seasoned pros. Their preparation and organization paid off for the wedding. They kept the bride and groom on schedule, ensured their choices were followed for every option, and Cari got ensured their vision came to life. This is truly an all inclusive venue with so many beautiful additions. They mentioned the sunset would be beautiful and the views on the hill would be stunning. Every view was gorgeous both inside and out, and honestly they undersold the looks. The pictures are amazing. Bethany oversaw everything to ensure a magical evening. The staff working on the night of the wedding were so prepared. The food was fantastic and plentiful. The bar under the covered patio created such a fun environment. They encouraged the bride and groom to create specialty cocktails which added a fun flair. One special touch was to respond very late at night to find the missing wedding certificate which was extremely appreciated! We would trust them again and highly recommend them to anybody.

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of King River Ranch! Absolutely everything was incredible! My Husband and I fell in love with the look and feel of the venue from the first moment we stepped on the ranch and met the owner David. He made us feel right at home and the venue was the exact place we had been looking for to get married! King River Ranch staff will even help you with floral design, vendor referrals, rentals, wedding decorations and make sure it is perfect for the best day of your life. They are experts in floral design and can help you make your wedding dreams turn into reality. The view from the ceremony site right on the Pedernales river was breathtaking. The whole place just has a magical feeling to it, The Barn, the ceremony site, the lawn areas….and all the beautiful animals that live on the property including the ranch horse King! The honeymoon suite is just beautiful, such a lovely place for the bride to get ready with her bridesmaids and for the couple to stay the night of their wedding. I could not have asked for a better venue to get ready with my best friends and it is a day I will remember forever. The groom and groomsmen have their own room to get ready with a TV to watch all their sporting events and can walk down to the Pedernales river to hang out with their buddies. My husband loved being able to use this ranch during the day! We also took our engagement pictures at the ranch which was so much fun, and I could not have asked for a prettier background for our save the dates. It was amazing to be able to meet our photographer before the day of our wedding and he also became familiar with our wedding site! People often ask us what the best part about our wedding day was and for both of us the best part about the day was dancing the night away under the beautiful hill country stars. We had several people come up to us saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and everything was so perfect. We highly recommend King River Ranch, David, and all his staff. They go above and beyond to make everything perfect for your dream wedding. We keep in touch with everyone we met during our wedding journey and so lucky that we stumbled upon this magical venue. Thank you, David, and KRR Staff, you made our day the most special day of our lives. Love You KRR! Jordan & Chase.

I can say without hesitation that it's my favorite venue to work with & a consistently stunning backdrop for your most special celebrations. Matt, Adam, & Renee are so easy to work with & adopt every couple into their family. They're loving & genuinely care for their clients, which is rare in such a booming industry. On top of their good character, the pricing is fair, the property offers a wide array of charming indoor & outdoor options, & they make it easy to either hand-pick each of your vendors or receive vetted recommendations from their list of preferred vendors. Our wedding guests still talk about this amazing venue 3 years later!

There’s an attached kitchen for food prep, a bridal sweet, an elevator for easy loading/unloading, chairs/table’s available for a reasonable price as well. We were able to coordinate getting into the space the day before for set up. The only issue was getting security set up for the day of. You have to work with the local police department and i didn’t even know if they were actually coming until they showed up. But Noel personally spoke to the chief for me and ensured it wouldn’t be an issue.
