A private ranch for the whole wedding weekend

A home base for your people

Magnolia Ranch sleeps up to nineteen across four homes on a gated 42-acre property near Waco, which makes it a natural base for the wedding party and immediate family. The bridal side can take over the main house for hair, makeup, and photos, while groomsmen and family settle into the tiny homes. Everyone is in one place the night before and the morning of, so nobody is racing across town in formalwear.

The grounds give you a beautiful, private backdrop for the in-between moments that end up in the album: first looks by the pond, portraits in the open field, toasts around the firepit. The pool and lawn keep kids and out-of-town guests happy during the downtime between events.

Plan the details with us

The ranch is first and foremost a place to stay, and event use depends on your headcount and plans, so reach out early and we will talk through what is possible for your weekend. Many couples use the property as lodging and a getting-ready and gathering space, then hold the larger ceremony nearby. Either way, having a private, photogenic 42 acres reserved for your group takes enormous pressure off the schedule.

Location makes the logistics easy on guests. You are about fifteen minutes from downtown Waco, close to Magnolia Market and plenty of dining for the rehearsal and farewell meals, and roughly fifteen minutes from the Waco Regional Airport for fly-in guests. Self check-in by smart lock means the wedding party can arrive across a long Friday without anyone manning a front desk. For a full wedding weekend, the multi-night discount on longer stays helps the budget stretch.

Tell us your dates and your vision, and we will help you reserve the ranch for the celebration.
