We decided to have our wedding at the Barn at Hickory Creek and it was the BEST decision we ever made. This place is a well oiled machine. Breathtakingly beautiful does not even began to describe it. If you are looking for a barn wedding this is the place for you. Jenni and her staff are hands down the best. She was so professional and easy to work with. The barn looked like a picture from a magazine when Jenni was done decorating it. Everything went smooth, Jenni had it all under control, which gave me the freedom to breathe and enjoy the day. Flowers, tables, dj and photo booth area, you name it she had it done. I shared with her my vision and she made it come to light. There is nothing better out there, this venue and team are top notch. If you're looking for your perfect wedding this is the place for you! Thank you Jenni...Love, The Bakers

Fantastic staff, happy animals, well-kept facilities...what an incredible day we had. It feels like a dream. Easy day trip outing with the family or as a date- book your animal experiences online like we did at https://www.bluehillsranch.com . The staff was flexible to shift timing of the experiences so we didn't have to wait long in between- they were extremely accommodating and we never felt rushed either. The otter swim/playtime experience was originally what drew us, and it was even better than I'd imagined. Worth every penny! Then we got to feed and pet the capybaras, which were way friendlier than I thought they would be! The babies enjoyed some extra belly rubs too. Bottle feeding the kangaroo was so fun too- little Dundee was SO soft and loved all the pets, even gave us kisses! The giraffes were super friendly and greeted us every time we were nearby; feeding and getting quality time with them was an extra treat. The safari ride tour was also amazing- 5 of us fit comfortably and got to feed/see lots of animals that we wouldn't normally get to experience. We were surprised at how this place wasn't crowded at all in the middle of July when it is peak vacation season, so it really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They also have a beautiful main lodge area that is comfortable and welcoming with additional animals to enjoy.

It truly made our wedding amazing. There wasn't a part of this experience that I could improve. From the moment I called to show interest to leaving the morning after our wedding - the atmosphere, the accommodations, and the genuine joy I experienced working with Katy and our wedding staff was nothing short of a blessing. We had a wedding of about 80-100 people. We fit everyone, a dance floor, a buffet, a bartender, and a DJ inside. We could have fit more. They met with me many times before the wedding, letting me come out to see the venue and show my wedding party the space. We chose to decorate ourselves, and it was easy to do. I spent about $200 on flowers and decor, because it just doesn't need much to be elegant and inviting at the same time. The tipis are naturally intriguing, even my most traditional guests commented on how majestic they are. You must view them with the lights on in the evening to truly understand the effect. The pictures turned out beautifully. They have a cabin on premises they rent for you to stay the night of your wedding. I strongly suggest this, because you're gonna be exhausted! The bedroom is in a loft with a spiral staircase, and it feels magical when you're already euphoric from being married. They have a space for the ceremony complete with seating and then they have the reception in the Tipis. Even if you don't use the ceremony space, it makes for amazing photos. My guests were impressed with the "something different" factor. They will always remember our wedding, because it's such a unique location; it's not just another fancy, dressed-up banquet hall. I am usually the traditional type and wouldn't have expected myself to step-out-of-the-box in this way, but I cannot describe how grateful I am that I did. The atmosphere puts people at ease and sets the experience apart from any other event I've been to. Katy and co. were patient and delighted in my successes along the way. My joys were their joys, and it was a breath of fresh air. I truly believe they cared for my entire experience. As I sit here and reflect on my wedding, I feel blessed to have found people who are willing and capable, not pushy but always available, and just generally all-around wonderful humans. Oh! And they have their own sound system and they can control the temperature perfectly. If you don't want to hire a DJ, you can play from an iPad easily!

He was very knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating! It was good to go on an animal safari where we felt the animals were happy, well cared for and well fed. The food in the restaurant was incredible! We LOVED every dish we ordered! It was delicious and high quality. The unique food offerings created by the chef were better than we even expected. This was the best chicken fried steak we've ever had and we're Texans so we've eaten a lot of chicken fried steak in our lives. Be sure to check the time and days the restaurant is open. I wish I had asked the name of the chef! Two things we wish could've been a little better: 1. We went in July and it was HOT and the wagons don't have a place to be together as a group out of the heat. We went to the upstairs of the main buildings. We were asked to leave because they were going to have a meeting in the upstairs room, so we were told we could go downstairs. Then the ACs needed attention and we were asked to go somewhere else, maybe the saloon/restaurant. This was 4pm and the Saloon had just opened. We just needed a place in the shade with AC to play board/card games. This led to problem 2: the waitress. The waitress on 7/25/26 between 4-7pm (possibly BrigaL) told us we were just taking up space and unless we ordered something we needed to leave (there were NO other customers in there at this point). So we decided to order an early dinner for our entire party. Once we were ready to order, the waitress never approached us. We walked up to her and told her we were ready to order. She replied, "I was waiting on you.". Then, while we ordered, we received multiple eye rolls, frustrated sighs , and obvious unhappiness with us. While this could've been overlooked, we were given our bill at the end without a receipt. My husband did quick math and noticed it was almost $20 over what we had ordered. When we asked about it, she frustratedly told us that was for the water. For our family of six, she charged us $3/person for cups of water! She took our bill and after maybe 5-10 minutes brought it back with the water price taken off and the little pay-at-the-table box. She looked directly over my husband's shoulder, almost touching him, staring at the screen while he chose his tip amount. It was EXTREMELY awkward, uncomfortable, and unprofessional! The whole experience with her was so poor, we knew we could not handle eating another meal there in case she was the only server. ( It seemed to be there was only one server per night. The server on our first night, 7/24, was great! ). Overlooking that very uncomfortable evening at the restaurant (the food was still amazing and incredible), we had a great time! We just wish there was a cool area for families to hang out in the middle of the summer. We did swim while we were there, but we needed another place to play games and just be together as a family. We would recommend this Ranch for family reunions and gatherings!
