Holds ceremonies and receptions
We considered many venues for our daughters wedding. The moment we stepped on to Rock Lake Ranch and met Annette.....well , it was a " no brainer ". The property is absolutely beautiful. We immediately booked the event. Annette and her husband ,Mike, helped guide us through all of the arrangements and were there with us tending to all the little details that made the wedding day perfect. It was evident that they take a personal interest in making sure that your event is everything you dreamed it would be. We cannot be more pleased with how things turned out and would enthusiastically recommend Rock Lake Ranch for your special event.
RLR is amazing! Aside from being a beautiful location, the staff is so helpful. They are always prepared for everything and willing to help with anything you might need. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is incredible, and we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend!
