Wedding Week: The Venue- Moon River Ranch

header1

For me, finding the perfect venue was one of the most crucial aspects of planning the whole wedding. It sets the style in which every other detail and decoration will accentuate. When you find the “one”–the place in which you will be marrying the love of your life– you just know. That is exactly how I felt when I came to Moon River Ranch for the first time. It was everything I wanted, everything I hoped for… a place that I thought I would never find on our budget.
