Testimonials From Newlyweds
Reviewed on 3/11/2024 by Brad N.
I just had my wedding and reception here last night, and among the event venue options we considered this one is absolutely beautiful! The grounds are flawless, and there isn’t a better-looking ceremony set up! We were able to check in the day before the wedding and set up our wedding decorations. This was not the case for any of the other venues we checked out and it made for a much less stressful wedding day. It made us so relaxed on the day off and allowed me to hang out with the guys instead of decorating on the wedding day and allowed all the girls to get pampered and hang out together in the massive bridal suite all day. We also appreciated that we were able to wait until Sunday to get everything out so that our wedding day was just a day of being with the ones we love and celebrating. We loved that the staff took care of all of the major parts of the setup and decorations. The venue took care of our flowers, which came out amazing! The bridal bouquet was better than we could have hoped for and matched the bridal party bouquets my wife created almost exactly. The cake was also a replica of the inspiration picture Kelsie sent to Judy. The food tasted amazing and the service was excellent. Hunter even helped last minute to secure our wedding arch as it was a windy day and we had to go get in line for the entrance walkout. Very happy with our experience, and think it is a wonderful place to get married!

Paniolo Ranch was the PERFECT location for our wedding. Our entire bridal party & immediate family were able to stay in the rental homes the whole weekend. No worries about the drive out there, driving drunk, etc. With everyone in the same place, we were able to celebrate the whole weekend which was very unique & everyone had a blast. We had the rehearsal dinner the night before & everything was perfect & tasty. I felt like a guest even at my event! Hunter made the planning process so easy & was always available for any questions we had. The views are breathtaking. The bridal suite is spacious & has plenty of room for us to get ready in. We received so many compliments & I would highly recommend this venue. Thanks, Paniolo, for the best day ever. :)
