Choosing the perfect ceremony location is one of the most important decisions for your wedding day.
At Diamond A Ranch, we offer 4 unique Texas outdoor wedding venues, each with its own charm and character. Whether you dream of saying ‘I do’ under ancient oak trees, in front of a serene lake, or with panoramic views of Texas, our diverse selection of ceremony sites will help create the perfect backdrop for your Texas ranch wedding. Our expert planners will guide you in choosing the location that best fits your vision and style.
Our team at Diamond A Ranch has also pulled together some of our best thoughts on planning your perfect wedding ceremony after years of watching couples wed.
Let’s start by choosing your perfect wedding ceremony location!
Your very first step in choosing a venue will be determining if you want an indoor ceremony or an outdoor ceremony. Most venues have both options (especially as an inclement weather backup plan!), and many couples specifically book a venue for their ceremony site!
While some couples opt for a traditional chapel ceremony and then choose Diamond A Ranch for their reception, many embrace the beauty of nature by hosting all their celebrations at the ranch for an unforgettable outdoor experience. The options are endless to create your perfect day!
At the Diamond A Ranch, couples often choose our venue because of the 200-year-old Live Oak trees that adorn our entire hilltop landscape. Our couples have options, options, and more options! We offer 4 ceremony sites to choose from, so there is sure to be one to fit your unique couple’s personality.
Diamond A Ranch Wedding & Event Venues Outdoor Wedding Venues
Live Oak Grove Ceremony Venue
Nestled under oak trees that date back to the 1700s, Live Oak Grove is on grass and offers unique lighting through the tree branches.
Depending on the time of year you get married, the oak grove can offer some shade, which can be helpful, especially in those hot Texas summers!
Stoneway Ceremony Venue
Like its name implies, the Stoneway is a beautiful, handcrafted stone walkway and pad that fits the bride, groom, and bridal party. Guests will be seated around the Stoneway in grass.
This location receives direct sunlight, which can be lovely during the winter months and can give an intimate feel as guests are situated around the stone pad.
The Saloon
For those seeking an indoor ceremony, The Saloon is your spot! It also offers an outdoor turfgrass ceremony option with views overlooking the ranch’s greenery.
After the ceremony, you can head straight inside to the reception with minimal movement of guests.
The Saloon turf is the only option for a ceremony location if you choose to move forward with Diamond A’s one-day wedding package; we know you will love it, as it is our most convenient site!
The Lake Ceremony Venue at Diamond A Ranch
Finally, we do have a lake at the Diamond A. Many couples choose to take some engagement and wedding photos here, but smaller ceremonies are also available at this location! This is also a stunning place to take bridal photos before your big day.
What to Consider When Choosing Your Perfect Outdoor Ceremony Location in Texas
Your wedding ceremony location sets the tone for your entire day!
Here are a few important factors to consider when choosing the perfect ceremony location:
Venue Capacity
The first thing to consider is how many guests you plan on inviting to your wedding ceremony. Some ceremony sites can more comfortably accommodate a larger number of guests than others.
Weather for Your Outdoor Wedding Ceremony in Texas
If your outdoor wedding ceremony is taking place during a certain season or time of day, consider whether the location suits the timing you are planning on.
Ranch Wedding Design Aesthetic
Each of the 4 outdoor locations has a different look and feel. You will want to consider your style and the aesthetic you want to achieve for your wedding. If you have a specific dream, let us know, and we can suggest the location that best matches your vision!
Accessibility for all guests
Make sure that the location is easily accessible for all guests, including those with disabilities or mobility issues.
Privacy
Consider the level of privacy that you desire for your ceremony. If you want a more intimate setting, a secluded location, such as the Lake, may be the ticket!
Amenities at Each Outdoor Venue
Take into account any amenities that you may need for your ceremony, such as electrical outlets, lighting, or decor. We have lots of options at Diamond A, but some dreams are better suited for certain locations.
