    A Wedding as Unique as Your Love Story

    Your wedding day should feel like you — not like every other venue in San Antonio. At Rio Cibolo Ranch, you'll say your vows under ancient oak trees beside a spring-fed creek, dance under string lights in a historic Texas dancehall, and wake up the next morning in a creekside cabin with your closest people.

    This is a real working ranch — longhorns grazing in the pasture, pecan groves, a stone firepit for s'mores under the stars — the kind of wedding your guests will never forget and you'll relive every anniversary.

    Getting Ready

    Your bridal party gathers at The Lily House — a charming Hill Country cottage overlooking the creek. Hair, makeup, mimosas, and excitement while the groom's party preps in the barn.

    Creek-Side Vows

    Walk down a natural aisle under towering oaks beside Cibolo Creek. The sound of flowing water, the rustle of pecan leaves, and the Texas breeze create the most beautiful ceremony you've ever attended.

    Drinks on the Deck

    Your guests sip craft cocktails and cold longnecks on the creek-side deck while the sun sets through the trees. Charcuterie, passed apps, and the kind of golden-hour light that makes every photo magazine-worthy.

    Dinner & Dancing

    Move into The Corral for dinner, toasts, and the first dance. A live band hits the stage. The dance floor fills up. This is the party your friends won't stop talking about.

    Fire Pit & Stars

    The dancing winds down but the night doesn't end. Gather around the stone fire pit for s'mores, whiskey, and stories under a sky full of stars. No rush — this is your ranch for the night.
