About The Ranch
A beautiful setting. A seamless celebration.
To say Sugar Spring Ranch is gorgeous is an understatement. Nestled along a private lake and surrounded by vast open fields and wooded landscape, The Ranch offers a breathtaking setting for celebrations that feel both naturally beautiful and effortlessly romantic.
From the moment you arrive, you and your guests will experience the charm of a one of a kind property thoughtfully designed for unforgettable weddings and events. With indoor and outdoor spaces available, you can celebrate under the stars or beneath our sparkling chandeliers, whatever feels most like you.
Our rustic yet elegant red barn is 8000 square feet and accommodates up to 300 guests. Climate controlled yet open and inviting, the space makes it easy to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor celebrations. With a spacious dance floor, thoughtfully designed amenities and views that continue well beyond the barn, every detail was created with your experience in mind.
And while you're celebrating under the stars, be sure to say hello to our resident pet zebra. Yes, a real zebra. He's a true party animal and one of our guests favorite unexpected surprises.
Your venue rental includes more than just the space. Tables, chairs, linens and an extensive collection of decor are all included, along with the setup and breakdown by our team. From aisle decor to centerpieces, chargers and more, our Wedding Decor Catalog gives you access to hundreds of pieces to personalize your celebration without the hassle of sourcing everything yourself.
