Rustic Elegance: Top Ranch Wedding Venues Near San Antonio

Nestled on private family ranch minutes from downtown Hondo, Sparrow Field Estate exemplifies countryside charm with a beautiful estate house as the background. This venue offers everything needed for a special wedding day – including a field with grazing longhorns to welcome guests, an outdoor ceremony site in front of the picturesque pond, a permanent outdoor reception tent, a stunning bridal suite, a bocce ball lawn for cocktail hour & even an adorable vintage getaway car. We also love their partnership with Paloma Pachanga, a beautiful dove hunting lodge just a mile away that offers accommodations for up to 40 guests – the perfect home base for your whole family or just the guys. Since this is a new venue (just opened in 2024), it’s a perfect time to book with introductory rates! 

Guests will fall in love with the Texas Hill Country as they drive down a picturesque winding road through this 300 acre ranch to arrive at the beautiful, modern ranch-style wedding venue. The indoor open floorplan reception space can host up to 250 guests, but the property offers ultimate flexibility with many outdoor spaces to spread out. Choose from two outdoor wedding ceremony sites: The Greenhouse (pictured above) or The Bluff (with a grand Hill Country view & the Guadalupe River trickling beneath). The Venue also includes a large concrete & turf patio area with a fun silo bar to serve guests during cocktail hour or dancing under the twinkling lights. Dos Palomas Ranch also offers flexibility with your vendor team. With an open vendor policy, you can work with any vendors you like (with 90 day pre-approval from the venue team) and you can bring in your own alcohol with a TABC-certified bartender or bartending service.

Dos Palomas Ranch is family owned & operated by the three Wheeler siblings. You’ll feel like part of the family with the personalized attention they provide from the walk through to your big day!

Situated on a 128-acre ranch right outside of New Braunfels, Harper Hill Ranch is a dream venue for a rustic Texas wedding. Nestled in the trees up on a hill, you’ll find the ideal space for your wedding. The temperature-controlled barn is over 7,000 square feet with beautiful stained glass, chandeliers, bride and groom rooms, caterer’s kitchen, silo bathrooms and a covered outdoor patio – the perfect place to host up to 250 guests. The barn’s multi-color vintage stained glass windows make for a statement photo opp from inside or outside the barn.

The ranch includes a The Ranch House, with space to sleep up to 27 guests along with a swimming pool and plenty of activities. You will also fall in love with the incredible family of farm animals on the ranch, from fluffy highland cows to stately longhorns and playful llamas.

Located just outside of San Antonio in Spring Branch, Hayes Hollow sits atop a massive hill with 360-degree views and is surrounded with natural beauty in the form of waterfalls, native plants, and mature trees. Its classic modern farmhouse-style setup accommodates up to 250 guests. Tucked among 100-year-old oak trees, Hayes Hollow features a stunning open-air ceremony pavilion, cocktail patio, and spacious ballroom for a celebration your guests will be talking about for years to come. You and your guests have the option of staying in Hidden Falls on-site vacation rentals, as well. This venue really does have it all!
