Talk with your Venue

We have been hosting weddings for years now and it still surprises me when brides choose a facility and they do not use the resources the venue has to offer the bride.

Venues that host weddings or events come into contact with every vendor that a couple will need in planning the perfect day. I would think the venue would be the first place a bride would call


for recommendations and advise on hiring photographers, caters, videographers, florist, decorators, hair dressers, hotels, ect. The list is very long and sometimes over whelming for most brides.

Venues can save you time, money and help you have a stress free wedding. Most venues give you a list of vendors they recommend. Venues don’t take recommending lightly. When recommending a vendor and the vendor does not pull thru with perfect service it is a reflection on them.

Give your venue a call today; they are there to help!

Hiring a cater VS self-catering.

Hiring a Cater VS Self - Catering. Which is the best choice?

Ellis Ranch Event Center & Wedding Park is a facility rental only, facility rental only means that we allow self - catering. There are pros and cons on self - catering.

Sometimes self - catering saves you money and then sometimes it can cost you more money and more head ache than it is really worth. By the time you rent all the equipment needed, all the left over food, stress and clean up, you may wish later that you had just hired a professional caterer. You also have to consider the liability involved with self-catering.

We have seen Mothers sweating in their beautiful gown, crying minutes before the wedding trying to get everything ready for the reception instead of being in the dressing room with their daughter and having a good time.

Most caterers can customize menus and generally design a fit to meet budget and style. They take the stress out of your day. This is a time to celebrate not work. If you still feel self-catering is the way you want to go for your wedding you should always do a walk thru with the facility prior to your wedding date. They can show you where and how many plug-ins they have for roasters, where you can do the food preparations, clean up requirements, where and how you need to set up the food line. Every venue has rules and regulations to follow. If organized properly and kept simple self catering can work for the right family.
