Civil War Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the beginning, their communication was exceptional - every intricate detail was acknowledged, respected, and their response time was always prompt. This was especially helpful since we planned our wedding from out of state and were only able to visit the venue once prior to the big day. The value we received at Civil War Ranch was incredible - the space rental fee was very reasonable, and the carriage ride trail on the property was worth every penny. On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond, assisting with the placement of our decor and the design of our gift table while I was getting dressed. Thanks to their attention to detail and professionalism, our wedding day was truly perfect. We highly recommend Civil War Ranch to any couple looking for a beautiful, affordable, and stress-free wedding experience.
