Montesino Ranch is a husband and wife-owned venue hosting weddings and events in Austin, Texas. Montesino means “mountain destiny,” and this 225-acre working ranch covers sections of Montesino Mountain’s surface, canyon, and valley. Surrounded by wildlife and stunning natural vistas, it offers a tranquil setting for one-of-a-kind celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

The Montesino Ranch property boasts rustic architectural features formed from reclaimed materials native to the area. The farm is home to many animals, including a free-roaming herd of miniature Hereford cattle, dwarf Nigerian goats, and beautiful horses. Owners Scott and Brenda Mitchell strive to provide a relaxed and happy environment for their resident animals and local wildlife, limiting damage to natural habitats as much as possible. You can host your ceremony in Mountain View Pavilion, an outdoor spot perched high on the edge of Montesino Mountain Preserve. Here you can exchange vows before a dramatic arched cedar structure, applying personal touches with flowers and decor. After you tie the knot, you can explore endless photo opportunities with your photographer while your guests mingle over cocktails. Later, you can reunite in the Cedar Pole Barn with Loft overlooking the front farm acreage for a celebratory dinner reception. The size and versatility of this simply furnished space also makes it an ideal choice for indoor ceremonies. After a day full of festivities, you and up to 18 guests can retreat to their Studios and Pine House accommodations to rest and recharge.
