Unique, Authentic, & Gorgeous!

Peninsula Ranch was exactly what I was looking for and needed for our wedding. I needed somewhere by a real body of water without weird thin walkways and goofy looking bridges getting to it. The site is right on the lake but has enough trees that you aren't windswept. Everything is 100% natural beauty. If you're not a fan of the insanely priced barn wedding venues that are the furthest thing from authentic, but still want a beautiful upscale space, this is it! It's so pretty it needs minimal decorating inside and out and shone all on its own. The biggest perk however was the manager Angie, who was so truly helpful and flexible and respectful! She answered any question at any time of day ASAP and made planning feel so much easier. This venue doesn't require specific vendors which helped a lot with cost, but everyone we used from their recommendations was great and on time and affordable. I'm incredibly pleased with the staff and location and our photos of the venue and the area! Thank you Angie and Peninsula Ranch!

Meadows at Peninsula Ranch - Wedding

Meadows at Peninsula Ranch was a beautiful venue for our wedding. Getting married w/ the lake just behind the alter was picturesque. Everything was so gorgeous. Our family and guests stayed the whole weekend in the lodge at the venue and the accommodations were amazing. The staff is very helpful, quick to respond and polite. Our wedding day was gorgeous and flowed smoothly. We highly recommend this venue!! Everything turned out beautiful and amazing!

Absolutely perfect

Peninsula Ranch is by far the best place to hold any event. The staff is very easy to work with and the entire venue is beautiful. I would book this venue for any event you can think of. The hall, the lodge, the water front wedding spot, 100% perfect. This place was a special highlight of our wedding day. We will definitely book future family events at this venue!
