Amazing Wedding Spot!

Kohl's Ranch was such an amazing place to get married! The lush green around everywhere made for amazing photos, and the staff was on top of everything and so helpful. We had our entire wedding go to smoothly with all of their help! I would recommend everyone get married here! They will make your day one to remember for sure!

Working with Michael Beers was a pleasure. He was accommodating and professional. All of our guests were so impressed by the food and service of the restaurant/catering staff. I would highly recommend Kohl's Ranch as a wedding venue! It is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding and more affordable than other venues. Picturesque surroundings and delicious food - made for a perfect wedding!!!

I absolutely loved working with Michael Beers and his team. When I look back on the wedding day I cannot believe how perfect our wedding was. The rooms and cabins are beautiful and comfy, the ceremony and reception sites are beautiful year round. Although, we got married on 4/9/16 and it wasn't quite as green as I was hoping so I would recommend May if you want fully bloomed foliage. Michael was so accommodating with the ceremony site, budget, dinner and alcohol options and the entire staff at the lodge is wonderful. I can't say enough great things about our experience at Kohl's Ranch Lodge. I definitely recommend it.
