We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue than Ellis Ranch Event Center for our wedding day. The property is absolutely stunning—peaceful, rustic, and full of natural beauty that created the most incredible backdrop for our celebration. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. Shawn and Kim were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were incredibly responsive, easygoing, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Whether we had questions, needed advice, or last-minute changes, they were always there with a solution and a smile. We’ve had so many guests tell us how beautiful the venue was and how much they loved the setting. Ellis Ranch has such a special charm, and it truly made our day feel magical. We’re so grateful to Shawn and Kim for helping bring our wedding vision to life!

Della Terra by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was timely, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. The venue itself is beautiful and elegant, with the perfect size and layout to make our special day feel intimate and personalized. The staff was 100% the most amazing group I've ever worked with - they left us a personalized gift on our sweetheart table which was such a thoughtful added touch! Overall, our experience was phenomenal and I would love to plan another wedding there simply because of the incredible staff and how great they were. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue and the wonderful team that made our day so perfect.
