An excerpt from the story featured in the June 2010 issue of "Schertz Tales"

The RCR is located on Cibolo Creek, which is the dividing line between Guadalupe County on one side of the ranch and Bexar County on the other. Since 1987, the ranch has been providing catering and entertainment for company picnics, retreats and seminars, business meetings, team building events, holiday parties, weddings and receptions, and non-profit galas and fundraisers, among other events.

BRIDES FIND UNIQUE SITES FOR THEIR BIG DAY!

In the February 2010 issue of TRENDS: Texas Style & Culture, Rio Cibolo Ranch is featured as one of several unique wedding venues. According to the story by Jennifer Rodriguez, many weddings were traditionally held in a church. Today, weddings and receptions can take place in a variety of inviting settings—like the Rio Cibolo Ranch. If you're planning a wedding, sometimes it's more affordable—and less stressful—to get married and hold your reception at the same place.

Just 25 miles east of downtown San Antonio, Rio Cibolo Ranch offers guests a way to get out of the city. A "one-stop" shop, the site can accommodate groups from "40 or 50 to the sky's the limit," says Craig Christopher, owner of the ranch, who says that the average wedding size is around 500. A unique feature: Weddings can range from casual "where people are sitting on hay bales to where guests are sitting in fancy chairs like at an elegant hotel."

While the ranch offers amenities such as game rooms for kids, barge rides for the wedding party and great spots for photos, perhaps the best amenity of all the the ranch's back-up plan if the weather fails to cooperate on the day of the wedding. Rio Cibolo Ranch can move the ENTIRE wedding indoors, if needed.

The Rio Cibolo Ranch—your affordale corporate function alternative!

Your event can have a true Lone Star atmosphere on this 130-acre ranch with spaces that work for 15 to 10,000 guests.  The R.C.R. Corral pavilion covers 20,000 square feet, while the Lazy Lily River House has dividable space for groups up to 200.  There’s also a 700-seat rodeo arena, a ,500-square-foot dance hall and a garden that seats 350.  Staff arranges catering, A/V needs, entertainment, family activities, even transportation. 

“We’ve done many events here, for groups as small as 10 and as large as 1,000 people,” says Joe Mooney of Capers Destination Management Company. “It’s a working ranch, not a party place, so with the river and the arena, you get an authentic Texas feel.  Plus it’s only 25 minutes northeast of downtown San Antonio, so you’re out in the country without having to go far, and it’s less expensive than other ranch venues. They always work with us to fit our budget and give us an excellent experience.” (Texas Meetings and Events)
