“The Cedars Ranch is an incredible venue! Let this place take your breath away, as it did ours. You will cherish the experience for the rest of your life!”
Sara + Shane Kullberg-Ronder, 11.2.19 Wedding
The Cedars Ranch has been thoughtfully designed to include a range of beautiful indoor & outdoor spaces for your special day.
Designed by award-winning Canadian architects, The Acre, in conjunction with local award-winning architects, HA Architecture, our venue facilities include our gorgeous light-filled great hall (seating 180), beautiful outdoor tree-lined plaza (seating 250), high character event bar, luxury eco yurt (bridal suite), groom's lounge, organic flower garden and gazebo, and our picturesque outdoor ceremony site under our majestic live oaks (seating 200).
Great Hall
A unique contemporary wedding and event space, our great hall has been intentionally designed to let you enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while being inside. With reception seating capacity for 180 guests, our great hall's open-air slatted wall features allow the structure to cool naturally, and help guests feel immersed in the surrounding beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Now with retractable clear wall panels, you and your guests can stay warm while it's cold outside too.

Our Values
Authenticity | Celebration | Community | Leadership | Wellbeing | Sustainability
One of the things that's most unique about our venue is that we lead with our values. Our venue was designed for connection - to each other and to nature. We worked with award-winning architects to design a venue that is both modern and highlights the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, while being as environmentally responsible as possible.
Sustainability
Your wedding is guaranteed to have a minimal environmental impact due to our venue's green design and eco-friendly practices including: solar panels powering the entire venue with renewable energy; harvesting of rainwater; native and water conscious landscaping; and mandatory recycling and composting practices. Read more about having a green wedding at The Cedars Ranch here: Green Wedding Guide.
"This unique venue is unlike any other in our area due to its sustainable core values. Watching The Cedars Ranch evolve has been invigorating due to the uniqueness of its architecture and wellness concept. Bill and Marilyn's vision of modernism that is organic and natural is such a refreshing vibe and one that our company thrives on. We encourage our couples to find a venue that really suits their lifestyle and portrays their personality. We feel that The Cedars Ranch does just that!"
Kimberley Bentley, Silver Thistle Weddings + Events
Wellbeing
We are a wellness retreat as well as a wedding venue, and want to help you reduce wedding day stress. We encourage you to incorporate wellness into your wedding day. Consider bringing in someone to lead just you, your wedding party, or you as a couple, in a yoga class or meditation the morning of your wedding.
For peak season Saturday weddings, we give our couples from Friday at 3pm to Saturday at midnight. We really encourage a stress-reduced wedding and this allows time to start setting up Friday and also to hold rehearsal Friday evening.
It's so easy to get caught up in the details of the day and having everything be perfect. We want to encourage you to plan your day in a way that allows you to be very conscious and fully present with each other and within your self. The joining that is marriage is very spiritual and yet can be lost in the busyness of the day.
Marilyn Orr, our resident Luv Life Coach, has prepared a special wedding support sheet to help you be fully present on your wedding day. Send us an email and receive:
