Inclusions and requirements can depend on your package and event. Confirm the details with our team and review your agreement before reserving.
Explore the FAQsHow long can I rent the venue?
From 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with your event ending one hour early so that time can be used for teardown, cleanup, and load-out. Additional hours are available for $300 per hour.
Can we use our own vendors?
Many vendors can be your own vendors like catering, cakes, and photography, etc. The exception would be drinks and alcohol. Enchanted Ranch has a license to sell mixed beverages so all drinks and bartending come through Enchanted Ranch.
We also offer special package pricing if you use our DJ and/or event coordination.
Can we bring a food truck?
Yes. We have plenty of space for a food truck as well as a great space to have an outdoor BBQ going. We have had many events where they barbequed the meals right on site.
Do I need to do the setup and teardown?
No. We will do that for you based on your designed floor plan. The final floor plan is due (3) days before the event. We will also take care of putting away all chairs and tables as well! Each vendor is responsible to clean up and tear down what they bring to the party.
Are pets ok?
Yes. We love our four-legged furry friends. You would need to have a person in charge of watching them and cleaning up after them, but they make great ring bearers for your wedding!
Are there any fees and what does it take to reserve my date?
There are no hideen or "gotcha fees" with Enchanted Ranch. We do hold a credit card on file for incidental damages up to $1500.
To reserve your date is only $1500 that is applied towards your total invoice.
What are the restrictions?
For the most part we are very flexibile, however, there are a couple of things that we will have a hard time allowing:
- Fireworks (exit sparklers are ok)
- Chinese floating laterns
- Any fake flowers including flower pedals for flower person. Only real flowers can be used outside for decorations or ceremony. Fake flowers indoors is fine.
- Confetti or glitter of any kind including canon or Mexican eggs
- Rice
- Gum or chewy candy
Is an Event Coordinator required?
No, but highly recommended. We have learned through experience that every event has curve balls that can derail an event. Having that experience coordination is a pro at hitting curve balls and can help save an event so that your event goes as smooth as possible and is worry-free for you.
We offer in-house coordination that is familiar with our property and is extremely affordable and highly recommended.
What is the refund policy?
The initial reservation fee or deposit is non-refundable. We use that to hold your date just for you and nobody else. The total amount is due no later than (30) days before your event.
