The Plant Ceremony
Instead of a candle, plant something. Every couple who marries here puts a native plant in the ground, and it stays. The ranch is a working butterfly sanctuary, and what you plant feeds what comes back. Come visit it on your anniversary.
Weekend Weddings
Arrive Friday. Leave Sunday. The ranch stays yours the whole time. No load-in window, no six-hour clock, no packing up while the party's still going.
Seven bedrooms sleep 12 on site. Three hotels are six minutes out.

TESTIMONIAL
"It's like you drifted off to a Private Sanctuary on an island of its own!! I have no words to describe Julie Noel's place — the pictures themselves do no justice! A time for us to always remember, bringing my family, grandchildren and grandmother who's 88 and loved it."
— Tiffany, Airbnb guest
