I recently attended Vista West Ranch for a wedding. There were a lot of out of town guests and everyone who worked there was so accommodating! The venue is absolutely stunning!! The property is one of the most beautiful in the hill country, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The bride and groom were over the moon about the whole experience. If you want a beautiful place with a lot of inclusions this is for you. You won't be disappointed!

Disheartening
I would CAUTION any bride/groom or organizer who is considering having an event at either the Creek Haus or Vista West Ranch, both of which are owned by Stacey and Joe. My fianc and I enjoyed working with them in the beginning - they were friendly, helpful and responsive. But when the pandemic hit, that changed. We understood that the world was in a peculiar place when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and companies were struggling, but at the end of the day you hope people will do the right thing, SADLY the Creek Haus and Vista West Ranch did NOT! Our destination wedding was to be in November

This Texan styled wedding ranch is tucked in the heart of Dripping Springs near Austin. I went there for a friend's wedding on a Saturday. The place itself can be hard to find, given that it is in the middle of nowhere and the signs are easy to miss. There is a decent parking lot for about 25ish cars in the front and more parking in the back which is a plus. The walkway is full cobbles so can be hard to walk on in heels. The indoor venue is warmly lit and has very Texan barn kind of vibes. It was good for a wedding but I am not sure what else does it have to offer apart from that.

My husband and I got married at Vista West back in April 2017 and couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. We knew from the second we found Vista West online that this was going to be our wedding venue. We did a tour at one of their open houses and booked on the spot, plus we found a ton of other great vendors we ended up working with. The whole team is amazing, the venue is gorgeous, and every single thing about our wedding day was so great. If you are thinking about having your wedding here, book it right now! I wish I could go back and do it all over again

Vista West Ranch was my dream venue for both my ceremony and reception. I had been following it on Pinterest for years. So, when we stopped by for an Open House, I was sold immediately. Be prepared to have a long wait if you want to get married here! The waiting period was about 18 months when we booked in January 2016, but it was totally worth it. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, it comes with several perks (DJ, Bartenders, and a Coordinator). Having a coordinator the day of my wedding absolutely was a godsend. She works with you and handles so many things that could and do go wrong on your
