Bernstein
As a CEO, I value precision, professionalism, and seamless execution — Golden Ranch Estates delivered on all fronts. Stefenie coordinated every detail with tactical precision, from vendor logistics to capturing our most important moments. When emotions ran high, her calm leadership turned chaos into grace, making my wife feel like a queen — and making me look like a hero. The venue itself is stunning, versatile, and business-friendly — we brought in our own vendors, and everything ran like clockwork. Golden Ranch didn’t just host our wedding; they executed it like a well-run operation. First-class experience, start to finish.
Peaceful and elegant venue
Golden Ranch Estates was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we met with Stefenie, the ranch manager, we were impressed by her professionalism and respectful communication style. She took the initiative to handle every last minute request, making it easy for us to simply focus on exchanging our vows. The venue itself was exclusive, clean, scenic, and versatile - providing a safe and beautiful backdrop for our special day. To our delight, Stefenie even gifted us a beautiful welcome gift upon our arrival, setting the tone for the high quality and emotionally aware service we experienced throughout our wedding celebration. We are thrilled we chose Golden Ranch Estates and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.
Dj For a Wedding
Ranch Estates at Bufford Ranch was a great experience. The event was set up for over 500 people. I had to provide electricity for my lighting truss and audio gear, so brought my own generator for power. I loved that there was no noise restrictions. With that being said, I was able to bring all of my tops and subs that kept the energy going all night. Stephanie, the ranch manager was incredibly supportive and made sure all of the venders and guest were accommodated. A very friendly DJ venue.
Great locations! Thanks Stefenie
Hair Show (August) In August, I hosted a hair show, and the estate once again proved its versatility. With its spacious grounds and stunning backdrop, it provided the perfect stage for creativity and style to shine. The landscape enhanced the presentation, making the event both professional and visually captivating.
