San Antonio Venue Tour…Ranches & Resorts

Looking for that true Texas atmosphere at your wedding?  We are taking a venue tour this week of the area’s Ranches & Resorts. We have the run down to get you started on your wedding venue search.

Eagle Dancer Ranch Wedding Venue

 

Situated on the bank of the Guadalupe River just north of Boerne, Eagle Dancer Ranch makes an ideal wedding venue for brides looking for that perfect Hill Country wedding.

Your ceremony begins under their towering oak trees with a nearby fountain pond. 

Receptions are hosted in the unique, fully restored historic barn. From the outside, you feel the history of the barn in all its rugged beauty. Once you walk under the outdoor chandelier and through the doors you’ll be taken with the soaring ceilings and gorgeous center chandelier. 

The Eagle Dancer Ranch Wedding Venue is conveniently and perfectly located along the gently sloping banks of the famous Guadalupe River north of Boerne and just east of the town of Sisterdale. Everyone who visits acknowledges that Eagle Dancer Ranch is one of the most picturesque ranches in the Hill Country. It encompasses serene hills, valleys, and a pronounced cliff escarpment bordering Werner Creek, Jacob Creek, and the Guadalupe River. These rolling green hills, towering live oak trees, fertile valleys, and clear creeks and rivers make Eagle Dancer Ranch a one-of-a kind place to visit.

Circle J Ranch

 

Circle J Ranch offers a true ranch experience for your wedding. 

Start your day settling into the rustic and elegant bride’s room. Decorated with a beautiful balance of modern and farmhouse pieces, you’ll at once feel more comfortable and relaxed to begin your wedding day. The groom’s room is equally comfortable and stylish, with enough space for the boys to get ready and kick back until ceremony time. The attentive staff and surrounding landscape puts you, your wedding party, and your guests perfectly situated on your own little piece of Texas.

This working 73 acre cattle ranch started as a husband and wife passion project, with the wedding venue being built a few years later. Two mirrored oaks make up a popular Hill Country wedding ceremony location. The property has a historic stone building, perfectly crumbling and lined with moss that makes an excellent photo backdrop.

The spacious and airy barn can host up to 150 guests with plenty of room for catering and dance floor space. All the essentials are included. Tables, chairs, and linen all get you started on your planning process for the wedding ceremony and reception.

If a ranch-style wedding is what you have in mind, don’t miss out on seeing Circle J Ranch.

JL Bar Ranch, Resort & Spa

 

A wedding at JL Bar Ranch is truly a memorable experience.

The resort is just past Junction in the Texas Hill Country. Aged oak trees and prickly pear cactus dots the 13,000 acres the resort is situated on. You’ll feel pulled into the elegance and privacy of this unique location from the moment you pull in front of the Main Lodge. 

Couples love to host their ceremony at the Wedding Tree or in front of the Main Lodge. Each provides an idyllic backdrop for a romantic feel and beautiful photo shots.

Receptions can be hosted up to 500 guests, with both indoor and outdoor reception sites available. Host your event inside the wooden beamed wedding space, or out on the lawn in several fantastic locations. Thankfully, catering is provided onsite. This is ideal for couples looking for a single-vendor approach to many aspects of their wedding reception.
