My husband and I had an amazing wedding at the fun, unique, beautiful and animal-filled Reptacular Animal Ranch!!! We looked at a LOT of options, and this was hands down our favorite. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an event space that is customizable and will keep guests talking for a long time. We had several animals at our wedding. Alpacas, dressed as a bride and groom, greeted guests as they arrived for the ceremony, we had a petting zoo for guests to explore during happy hour and we rode in on camels for our grand entrance. The camels were the highlight of our year and a great surprise for our guests! The owners, Cory and Jen, are very responsive to texts, calls and emails, helped with an array of questions and day-of needs and provided all information in an organized and easy to understand manner, with no hidden fees. They are open to creativity, with most things being allowed, so long as it is legal and safe for their animals and permit weddings to go on until 2AM, if you choose. The pricing structure is fair and reasonable. We took advantage of many of the venue offerings, such as: a firepit, a bar, large fridge (for drinks, cake and leftovers), the dance floor, free parking, changing trailer, restrooms, alter, tables and chairs. My husband and I love this place so much that we would like to go back to the ranch for our anniversary! *I would NOT recommend Diana as the day-of coordinator.
