Perfection

If you are looking for a rustic desert landscape for your wedding, look no further. My wedding was everything I imagined PLUS so much more. Now, I want to mention that getting married in the middle of the desert is not for the faint of heart. You will be dusty from start to finish, you will lose your voice from screaming and dancing and inhaling dirt all wknd, but that is all part of the experience I must say. Instead of a cliche wedding on the beach or in a church, how about having your guests remember the insane Dr. Suess-like Joshua trees, the orange to blue gradient sunsets, the desert sounds and dancing among endless bright stars. I can not say enough good things about Rimrock Ranch. I want to get married all over again here. :)

I also want to add that my husband and I never got the chance to physically meet Eric or Gwen, but they were extremely communicative and lovely nonetheless. Reno was SOOOO helpful, you rock, Reno!!!! Thank you to all of the staff there, my husband and friends and I cannot wait to come back again.

Amazing wedding, in an amazing place

The venue is super unique and fabulous. I encourage you to go out there for a tour. Our daughter was married in late SEPT 2023, and we had a fantastic experience. Reno and the whole team went above and beyond the call, in terms of service and professionalism. Gwen and Eric (owners) are flexible - tell them about your budget constraints, and they will work with you. This place is magical.

Choose rimrock if you want magic

A seriously perfect venue for a MAGICAL wedding weekend. Gwen is absolutely incredible but was unable to be there for our wedding weekend. Reno was there all weekend helping us with WHATEVER we needed. All the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, professional, cool, fun, enthusiastic... I could go on! They are really there to make it the best stay possible and do just that.

We have also stayed at Rimrock as guests and loved it. For a wedding weekend, it is wonderful to take over all of the cabins. The staff really make you feel at home. I will say, the cabins can feel a bit rustic! Design is A+ and super cool but if you are used to hotels, be prepared for some more dirt!!!!

The Ranch itself is stunning. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and RAVED about the venue! Because of the stunning scene - vivid stars, joshua trees sprinkled all over the mountains, etc, any additional decor is just extra!

I would truly recommend Rimrock Ranch to anyone considering having a wedding in the area.... it is truly extraordinary.
