Outside there was plenty of parking for the guests, and the greenery around the venue made it a wonderful spot to take photos!

I don’t think there are enough words to express how Amazing Amanda and her team are at Legacy Lane Weddings. We booked their package to stay the entire weekend on property and it was the best decision we could have made. Weddings go by so fast but being able to stay on property with our bridal party and family helped feel like we didn’t blink and it was over. Amber always greeted us with a warm welcome and the owners are just as friendly. It truly is a big family there and you can tell everyone genuinely loves what they do. They pride themselves on professionalism and maintaining such a beautiful venue and they do it all with such grace. There is plenty of entertainment for the family staying with you whether they are 2 or 92, there is something for everyone to stay entertained. I was nothing but relaxed as the bride the entire weekend and everything went off without a hitch. Their preferred vendors are vetted and held to the same standards. The owners graciously let my husband fly in via helicopter for a very fun entrance!! I will forever brag about this venue and the staff and would highly recommend you go check it out!!

I visited many outdoor venues for my wedding, but I knew I was looking for something different. As soon as I toured Diamond D Ranch, I knew it was just what I was looking for: secluded, quiet, beautiful views, animals to see if you wanted to but weren’t a part of the ceremony. I knew Diamond D was it for me when I found out that amongst all of the other things I was looking for, they also had outdoor games that guests could enjoy if they didn’t want to dance. The ceremony area venue is beautiful as is and you can keep it as simple as you want (I didn’t have any decorations out there), or decorate it to the nines. The glass enclosed reception area keeps guests dry while still leaving the beautiful views. You can see for miles and the sunsets are unbelievable and unobstructed. Our day of planner, Krista, who also works at the ranch was amazing. She communicated with me for months, answered my 200000 questions and coordinated everything. She made it seem like everything was perfect that day, even if it wasn’t, I never knew about it. The owners were accommodating and so nice. The views alone are worth booking this beautiful place for - but the employees and owners take it to the next level. If you book with Diamond D, you won’t regret it. Unfortunately, I don’t have all of my photos from the wedding, so I only have a few from our engagement shoot which don’t show the beauty nearly enough. Take a tour - the views and venue will blow you away!

Rick at Mystic Dunes was fantastic! He answered every question I sent him (and there were many) throughout the entire planning process. Rick was very open, communicative and set up several planning meetings to make sure we had everything we wanted to create the perfect Pakistani-American fusion wedding. Rick was so easy to work with, had great energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. When the weather turned to rain for our outdoor ceremony he didn't waste a single second and saved the day. He also went out of his way to learn Pakistani/Muslim traditions and was very open and respectful of dietary restrictions and everything else. Rick and his staff made sure everything went smoothly for our perfect day!

Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.
