Awarded Best of Zola
When my soon-to-be husband had a table saw accident just days before our wedding, we didn’t know if we’d make it out of the hospital in time to celebrate, let alone how everything was going to come together. We need not have worried. Natalie and the folks at Kimwood Ranch took SUCH good care of us! From the moment we stepped onto the Ranch, we felt like family. Seriously, they helped turn one of the most overwhelming weeks in our lives, into the very best. From all the tiny details, to the big stuff, Natalie was on the ball. She was great with communication and she guided us throughout our planning process. When it came to the wedding, she understood our vision and made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of. And did I mention how beautiful the ranch is?!? Just being there made us and our guests so happy. It’s peaceful. It’s private. You feel like you're in your own little world. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you Kimwood Ranch!
