So not only is she insanely talented, she is the sweetest! Cristina is professional, on top of everything, so well-organized and the best to work with!

Cristina even recommended the ribbon we used on my bouquet and I swear, the little details like that, are what made everything so special! Our tall and low centerpieces were GORGEOUS, our florals on our sweetheart table were the prettiest I have ever seen, and I was just completely blown away with everything the day of! She also added fresh flowers to our cake, which was such a perfect touch! Her elegant florals complimented our beautiful church where we had our ceremony, and our ballroom where were had our reception. Seriously, her tall centerpieces are to die for!!!! Trust me! We are still receiving compliments from our guests! During the planning process, Cristina checked in on me multiple times to make sure we were on the same page with everything. She was so quick to respond to my emails and any questions I had! My husband & I recommend Cristina and her team 100%! We are forever thankful for everything!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding dreams come true! We miss you already! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Chavez

WOW - where do I start? I've been waiting to give Lisa my review until I could post my wedding…read morephotos too, but believe me -- I have not stopped thinking about what magic she created for my wedding day! Let me say first that I was such a scrappy DIY bride, so I was really looking for a day-of coordinator I could trust. I did many calls with other coordinators and I was looking out for folx who really pressure you to have a cookie cutter wedding and play into the wedding industry. Lisa was not like that at all, she felt like one of my friends and was totally on board with working with the blank canvas of my venue. She was so easy to work with and made me feel really confident the day-of. She was hands down the best money spent from all my vendors at my wedding. Examples of Lisa's magic: - She was a serious partner in crime! I come from a background of event planning myself, so I recognized that I was a bit of a hyper detailed and logistically obsessed bride. I literally had made my production schedule before I had even met with her! This type of thing would normally irritate the hell out of an event coordinator, but honestly Lisa just felt like someone who was my partner. She saw what I had created and helped me build off of what I got started and she just made me feel like I wasn't in it alone anymore. - She would go above and beyond! We had a mix-up with our cocktail hour where our caterer came in and left some of the food on the side where it wasn't easily found. Lisa and her assistant jumped in immediately once she saw the need. She straight up started serving our hor d'orves to all of our guests so that the food we spent good money on wouldn't be hidden in the corner. - She handled extra coordination with ease! We had a mariachi parade and a shuttle coming in and out of our venue. She was able to coordinate all of this seamlessly with her assistant. I was worried about the coordination of our shuttle in particular- and without a single worry my guests were coming in and speaking so highly of the amazing coordination of the entire day. These are just a few examples of how amazing Lisa is. So do yourself a favor and give her a call for your special day. Thank you so much Lisa for all the ways you helped make my wedding the best weekend of my life.

An online review could never fully capture the grace and professionalism Lisa brought to the…read morewedding of two of my best friends. This wedding was delayed and changed several times due to the lingering effects of COVID, and with each audible called, Lisa was not only able to adapt, but to flow with the change, keeping the Bride & Groom's wishes in mind, offering calm and supportive ideas throughout the process to ensure their dream wedding came true. Lisa offered attentive communication to her clients and the guests of a wedding, while utilizing a kind but firm approach to vendors, suppliers, and other associates in order to create the most beautiful moments to be cherished by the wedding party and the guests. The day of the wedding could not have gone more smooth. The Bride & Groom, the wedding party, the guests, were all cared for and treated with respect and courtesy. There was never any worry, about anything because "We got Lisa!" The day of ceremony breakfast, the pre wedding details of prep, guest management, and support for anything requested by/for the Bride & Groom, the ceremony, the dinner after, and the night time celebration could not have been more beautiful, serene, or better executed. Lisa also found ways to take initiative and offer thoughtful gifts or words to those in the wedding party. The last piece I need to share, is Lisa treated everyone with kindness and respect. The staff at the venue was eager and willing to help with any items requested, the servers at various restaurants could not have offered any better service.. Lisa has an incredible gift to love others up, which they in turn pass along to those they serve. Lisa is organized, more then capable, professional, an attentive listener, and will become family after working with her on YOUR wedding or event. Lisa - you are an amazing and rare person, with an incredible heart. Thank you for doing what you do, being who you are, and creating the unforgettable memories for so many others.

Padua Hill's only required vendor is Entertainment Express because the venue was fitted with a sound system specifically for Entertainment, and the quality of the experience was one of the main reasons we ended up hosting our wedding at Padua. The team was so thoughtful and thorough during our planning process, helping us consider different options for lighting, timeline, and songs for the processional, first dance, etc. One of the key things we wanted to include during our wedding was having a song our friend wrote and recorded be a song that played during our cocktail hour as an Easter egg for our friend to experience. Getting to share that moment with him when he realized his song was playing was a highlight to our wedding Entertainment Express brought to life. The team was also really helpful in helping us transition through the different points of our wedding, and made the day feel super cohesive.

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan.

My husband and I got married here March 13, 2015. We fell in love with this place online. Now let's make one thing perfectly clear before we proceed. Sweet Pea Ranch IS Tess's HOME! Therefore her home, her property, her rules, her staff, her RANCH! bottom line at the end of the day. Cool? K! We even came without an appointment, the very first time, and were asked to leave nicely and return at another time with an appointment for a site tour..not a problem! I'm not sure where all these hostile comments are coming from?! Impatience? lack of understanding? SBB-Selfish Bride Brain? Anyways we had several meetings over the course of about 9 months never was anything forgotten or were we ever told that something could absolutely not happen. (except for sparklers; "weather permitting" and weather did permit that night !!) everything down to the music was exactly what we wanted and that day turned out to be more than we expected! our day went completely smoothly we were treated with RESPECT as well as our family and friends all enjoyed their time and loved our venue. The staff was something i also wanted to address i read this comment "So if you want to deal with a lazy staff who half asses everything and is really rude and disrespectful, this is the place for you! What a shame" the staff was actually 100% the opposite of this statement is LAUGHABLE! (I read the situation) and sounds like a crowd problem not a staffing issue. I recall being made very clear that there is NO drink allowed to the parking lot PER A LICENSING LAW not the ranch being "assholes." Honestly if being within the open area of the ranch is not "enough" go down the block to the HI BROW DUDE & PAY DOUBLE....where you will be allowed to stay in the bar only....hows that sound? ENTITLED. Same goes for the bathroom and "cash bar" situation...EVEN the animals are all made known to the bride and groom from the the get go, so maybe the complaining should go to the bride a groom not the venue... At our wedding we never had to even ask for anything! someone was always there within reach ready to hand us our next drink, take our food, get us whatever we needed, EVEN BUSTLING my dress (thank you, Hannah, baby girl!) it was amazing the attention to detail. I would choose this place a million times over again. Sweet Pea Ranch is an amazing place to get married! Helpful, Friendly, organized and the atmosphere is beautiful! read more

My daughter was just married at Sweet Pea Ranch, and it was a beautiful night! She wanted a barn setting, and everything Pinterest-like for the country/glam mood. We looked at the ranch in the beginning of 2015, and it was very cute, but a work in progress. Since the owner, Tess, combined forces with Drake and his Cowboy team, the place has been up-graded quite a bit. Tess and Drake and their teams work so well together, and everyone there is so polite and helpful. When my family came on the wedding day to set up decorations, I was amazed to find the cowboys greeting us with their phones communicating to other parking staff. When we returned to the wedding with my Mother, they directed us to where her wheel-chair was waiting. I was relieved to know that our guests would be well directed. When my other daughter, the Matron of Honor, sat down during the service, someone appeared with a bottle of water immediately...good job! The ceremony was up under the arbor, and the reception was on the bark in front of the barn. (Mainly because we had over 200 people). We used the barn for desserts, picture wall photos and some dancing. (The D.J. was in the back by the horses). If you have a smaller group, you could choose another set-up, but this worked nicely. I think the bathrooms are coming, or you can order nicer ones to be brought in...do that...that's the only thing I wish we did. We had the BBQ dinner they can provide, and it was yummy! I really was impressed by the way we were treated. They seem to treat everyone like family, and they are hands-on and professional. We had spectacular weather...so that was a blessing too. The guests wore cowboy boots, and seemed to be happy they didn't have to wear suits etc. to a wedding...:) Best of all was the smile on my daughter's face, when the evening was coming to a close...it was what she pictured...yeah God! read more

My fiancé and I were scheduled to be married at this venue in February of 2026, and we are absolutely devastated by how we have been treated. Just five months before our wedding, the venue suddenly contacted us to say they were canceling our event and would not be refunding our money. There has been zero communication leading up to this, and this announcement came completely out of nowhere. When we checked our portal for additional communication or explanation for the lack of refund, all of our information and plans had been deleted without any contact. We are now left scrambling, with no venue, no refund, and a significant financial loss. As a young couple just starting out, this is an incredible burden, one that we should never have had to face especially in such a happy time. The way this situation has been handled is beyond unprofessional. The lack of transparency, accountability, and basic respect for clients is shocking. We feel as though our trust has been completely violated, and it is deeply upsetting to know that the money we worked so hard to save is simply being kept from us. I strongly urge anyone considering this venue to think twice before booking. If this is how they treat couples so close to their wedding day, it shows a disregard for the people who put their trust in them. Please save yourself the heartache, stress, and financial loss. read more

Just recently went to a wedding here and it was okay. The ceremony spot was small and cute. The layout of the venue is a bit odd and I didn't care for the uneven terrain every few steps. I saw a few people trip which didn't seem very safe. The reception area was very rustic and well themed but they only had port-a-potty's which was such a turn off for a wedding. So gross to use in our wedding attire. I wouldn't come here again or book them based on that alone. One of the staff members said this place has been here for several years so you would think they would make indoor bathrooms a priority but I guess not. Food was okay but no vegetarian entree option and nothing was super tasty. Near the end of the night, the bartender cut off my friend who was drinking and she was not even drunk. She was so embarrassed because of that and they went to so far to tell the Bride that she was cutoff. I would have been livid had I been the Bride. You don't interrupt my night to tattle on a friend. She hadn't been aggressive nor rude to anyone when they cut her off and yet they still seemed to make a scene about it. It really turned me off to this venue. I felt really bad for my friend since she had actually gone up a couple times for me and the Groom's mother for drinks as a good gesture. Overall, this venue left a sour taste in my mouth for recommending them to anyone. read more

We got married at Sweet Pea Ranch on March 25, 2017 and it was my dream wedding! I cannot thank Tess and her team enough for all the planning and care they put into our day. She helped me every step of the way with planning and executing our vision. The best part is, she truly cares about her couples and she listens to what is important to you to make it happen. Her staff even BUILT a reveal door for our wedding ceremony because she knew how important it was to me. The entire team pays attention to every detail, and the venue is stunning. Our pictures are out of this world! Michelle-the florist, is a genius, Lamar, our caterer was so incredible- people kept commenting on how amazing our food was!

I was a guest at a wedding here. I got to see first hand how rude and unprofessional the staff was. It also seems that legitimate negative reviews get flagged and removed, but I see a completely fake one that remains. "Tom A." is Tom Anderson, who according to his Linked In page (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tom-anderson/39/a10/609), is the VP of Media and Marketing for Cowboy West Productions. They are partner and vendor for the Sweet Pea Ranch. He is in pictures all over the CBW site and Facebook. This is a huge conflict of interest and it doesn't surprise me. I saw this rude snappy lady at my buddies wedding there, and was shocked when I found out she owned the place. She's in a service industry and that's no way to behave when people are spending Thousands! Beware of this place. read more

HORRIBLE!! THIEVES!! SHADY!!! I waited since March 2020 to write this HORRIBLE review. Let me start by saying they kept over $14,000 of our money for not providing a damn thing because of COVID. Tess, is shady, slimy and just a horrible horrible person. She says she treats her clients like "family". I feel sorry for them then because she is disgusting! She says, "buy the insurance", but then says "but that still doesn't guarantee you will get your money back". Tess you ruined what was to be the best memory of our daughter's wedding.

One star is generous. The venue is beautiful for a rustic wedding, but that is it. The owner is very difficult to deal with and always changing vendors without informing us.

By far the best wedding venue. Great food, great view, so much fun from the ceremony to the cake, dancing and entertainment. The best wedding I've ever been to.... highly suggested venue. I think photographers should be working the entire wedding. Not sure why the negative review was about food from a photographer. A photographer is hired to take to capture the entire event AND capture the event with excellent photos which is super easy at the Sweet Pea Ranch.

A Rustic Gem That Handles Every Occasion With Grace…read more This venue has a wonderful rustic charm paired with real flexibility, a combination that's hard to find. What stood out most is how well it adapts to different kinds of events. Even something as emotionally complex as a celebration of life felt handled with care here, letting guests focus on honoring their loved one rather than worrying about logistics or atmosphere. When a space gets that balance right, it takes a real weight off your shoulders. Highly recommend for anyone planning a gathering that needs both warmth and versatility.

The location is so beautiful and nicely spaced out. We had so many compliments on the venue, and their family-owned business practice made it feel personalized and responsive. On the day of, Summer and Jen kept everything moving smoothly. They helped make a very stressful day feel easy and perfect. They helped with a last minute snafu and stayed calm throughout it all. The decor, florals, DJ, catering, and cake are all part of the package, and I am so happy we went with Pond Oaks!

We recently had our wedding reception in the Victorian room. It was absolutely perfect for…read moreeverything we needed. James was very easy to communicate with and even let us set up a day early with plenty of time. I would highly recommend using this venue for any large event.

PART 1 We rented…read morethe Manor Room for my daughter's wedding because we were on a budget, and their pricing seemed affordable. They also gave us the impression that they were willing to work with us financially. From the beginning, one of the biggest issues we experienced was that the information we were given repeatedly changed throughout the planning process. We made a point to ask questions and clarify details before making decisions because we wanted to avoid surprises. We relied on the information we were given, only to later be told something different. Ava was assigned as our point of contact. Unfortunately, we found ourselves repeatedly having to clarify details, only for the answers to change later. We chose to rent the venue without catering but hired their bartender service because Ava specifically told us that everything for the bar would be provided and that we only needed to bring the alcohol and mixed drinks. Based on that information, we booked their bartender. During our final consultation one month before the wedding, we were then told that we would actually need to provide virtually everything ourselves, including bar tools, supplies, garnishes, and possibly even ice because they weren't sure whether their ice machine would be working. Since this was completely different from what we had originally been told, we canceled their bartender and hired an outside bartending service that supplied everything we needed. This resulted in an unexpected additional expense. When I requested a credit for the bartender we were no longer using because the information had changed, I was told no because we had supposedly received "special pricing" to fit our budget. During that same consultation, we added the plates, goblets, and silverware package. Ava showed us samples of the linens, runners, and dinner napkins for us to choose from. Since they didn't have the runner color we wanted, we purchased our own runners and only used their tablecloth overlays. Later, when I followed up, I was told the dinner napkins were not actually included but that they would "throw them in" at no charge. This was confusing because we had already been asked to select the napkins during our consultation. Once again, the information we were given changed after decisions had already been made. We also requested an additional hour for setup, which cost another $60. Considering we received no credit for canceling the bartender we were no longer using because the information had changed, every additional charge became increasingly frustrating. On the day of the wedding, we arrived at 3:00 p.m. to begin unloading and decorating and immediately noticed the sweetheart table had already been set up even though it was visibly warped in the middle. Ava was unavailable that day, so I contacted James, whom I had originally communicated with. The staff replaced the table, but it was disappointing that it had been placed in the venue knowing it was damaged. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. We soon discovered water leaking from the men's restroom area and water coming up through the venue's laminate flooring. While setting up behind the buffet, we lifted a black floor mat and found numerous paper towels underneath that were completely soaked. We also noticed water seeping up through the middle of the dance floor. When we reported this to the office staff, we were told it "might have been from the ice machine the night before" and that they had only noticed it that day. This explanation raised several concerns. If there had been an event the previous evening, wouldn't the cleanup staff have noticed the leak? If they knew about it that morning, why wasn't it repaired before our event? Why were soaked paper towels already hidden underneath the mat if this had only just been discovered? Based on what we observed, it was difficult to believe this was a problem they had just become aware of. We expressed our concerns because the wet floor posed a serious slipping hazard for our guests. Rather than acknowledging those concerns or discussing a reasonable solution, we were told we had only two options approximately 30 minutes before our ceremony was scheduled to begin: Reschedule the wedding so they could fix the problem, or Allow them to place wet floor signs throughout the venue while staff continuously dried the floor. The office staff also repeatedly referenced the Force Majeure clause in the contract as though it relieved them of responsibility. However, their own contract states that Force Majeure applies to situations such as natural disasters, fires, government restrictions, labor disputes, civil unrest, or other events beyond their reasonable control.
