What People Are Saying
“We booked the entire ranch for our daughters wedding in March. They wanted to get married quickly and on the anniversary of the date they met. With only 3 months to plan a wedding we were a bit worried about getting everything done. Mary took care of everything, food, decor, Diane did the spectacular flowers… It was such a joyful experience. Everyone has gone out of their way to tell us this was one of the best weddings they have ever attended.”

“Circle S Ranch is a MUST VISIT location!! Whether you are planning a wedding, a family reunion, or just need to get away from the city and breathe in some fresh air! Mary and her crew were beyond hospitable. From day one in our wedding planning adventure to our big day, they made us feel like we were family! Their cozy Inn housed 34 of our immediate family members and wedding party, and there were still beds unused! The beautifully presented meals that this down to earth team prepared for us were absolutely delicious and well planned! We will definitely visit Circle S Ranch again!”

“The perfect place to celebrate a wedding or any special event. The grounds are beautiful, staff is friendly and food is delish!
Highly recommend! It felt like we were in a different world! So peaceful, lovely and picturesque. Can’t wait to get our photos from the photographer. A gorgeous background!!”
