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. ★ ![Texas ranch wedding couple in front of vintage truck at outdoor venue near San Antonio](/assets/wedding-couple-ranch-truck-CsYyj-K8.webp) Est. 1987 ★ Picture Your Day ## From Dawn to Dancing ![Bridal party getting ready at ranch wedding venue](/assets/batch4-10-DCoYAC9T.webp) 01 Morning ### Getting Ready Your bridal party gathers at The Lily House — a charming Hill Country cottage overlooking the creek.
