    My wife and I got married at River Fort Ranch on 5/25/25, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The staff were incredibly friendly, organized, and always attentive. The venue itself is such a gem. Each area of the property has its own charm, which made it easy to create different moods for each part of our celebration. Our guests kept commenting on how stunning everything looked. We’re deeply grateful to the team and would recommend this venue without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding location that’s both stunning and sincerely welcoming.

    Our daughter and new son-in-law were married here in November, 2025. What a great venue and the service was excellent. We had good cooperation and participation from the employees and they helped us at all stages of the preparation and ceremony. We had a wonderful wedding and I would recommend this venue if you want a great event experience.

    This year was our second year (in a row- that is how great this venue is!) celebrating our company's annual Christmas party. The property and its uniqueness are beyond belief. I especially was fond of the covered wagon hotel room.The rest of the facility is just as amazing. You will be awed by that alone. However, the warmth, knowledge and caring of the staff is what makes this place even more unbelievable. Do not hesitate to book anything at River Fort Ranch!
