Wedding Package Rates

This is our most popular and well-received wedding package.  The wedding couple and their guests can enjoy the complete grounds at Sweetwater Ranch including our outdoor wedding site with dining area, lodge, catering room, deck, ballroom, lighted dance floor and recreation area (including basketball court, ping-pong table and fire pit) for the day and the night of their wedding.

We waive our three day minimum stay for the wedding couple and allow the units to be rented for one day/night only, on the day of the wedding.  Many couples reserve the units for out-of-town wedding guests, or use the two full units as staging areas for the bride and her attendants, and the groom and his attendants.

The wedding couple will enjoy our Spirit Horse Unit for their honeymoon suite!
