What Drives Wedding Pricing
Wedding pricing depends on date, guest count, bar package, lodging, and how much of the ranch you want for your event. Saturdays in peak season (March–May, September–November) book 12–18 months out. Packages aren't published online on purpose — a tour matches you to the right tier and we can build an accurate quote on the spot.
Alcohol is handled through the venue (open bar, per person, per hour) — no outside alcohol or BYOB. Catering, photography, and florals stay flexible — bring your own preferred vendors.

No other guests, no shared timelines, no strangers wandering through your photos.
Most wedding venues near Austin rent a space.

The wedding party wakes up on the property the next morning.

Schedule a Venue TourFrequently Asked Questions
Rancho Moonrise is a full-service ranch wedding venue 20 minutes from downtown Austin. The property offers exclusive full-ranch buyouts for weddings, meaning no outside guests will be on the property during your event. With unlimited ceremony layouts across 36 acres, an indoor Event Barn, a pool, and capacity for 200+ guests, it's one of the few venues near Austin that handles ceremony, reception, and overnight stays all in one location.
The combination of exclusivity and on-site overnight accommodations sets Rancho Moonrise apart from most Austin-area wedding venues. When you book a wedding here, you're not sharing the property with other events or day guests — the entire 36-acre ranch is yours. Your wedding party can sleep on-site in hand-crafted cabins and safari tents, eliminating the hotel block coordination problem that trips up most wedding planners. Austin has dozens of wedding venues, but very few offer this level of full-property exclusivity with overnight stays built in.
Rancho Moonrise accommodates up to 200+ guests for ceremonies and receptions, with on-site overnight accommodations for your wedding party across cabins and safari tents. Close friends and family can stay on the ranch itself — with A/C, heat, real beds, and fire pits throughout the property — while remaining guests can find hotels in nearby Austin.
Yes — Rancho Moonrise works with outside caterers, photographers, florists, officiants, and other vendors. The venue provides the space, bar service, and the ranch infrastructure. Couples bring their own preferred vendors for catering and ceremony specifics. Schedule a venue tour to get a full list of what's included versus what you'd source externally.
For peak wedding season (March–May and September–November), booking 12–18 months in advance is common for Saturday dates. Rancho Moonrise's 2026 Saturday availability is already limited. If you have a specific date in mind, schedule a tour and discuss availability as early as possible — there's no waitlist, and dates are held on a first-come basis.
