Question 1

Do you require us to select a vendor from a preferred list?

Accepted Answer

5 Family Ranch does not restrict the use of vendors.  You may choose your caterer, decorator, DJ, etc.  Any additional contracted services/products requested by you with cost incurred will be billed directly to you by the vendor.  You and your vendor(s) will respect the rules of the 5 Family Ranch that include the following:
·        Vendors are subject to prior approval from 5 Family Ranch.
·        Caterer must carry a current and valid food license.
·        DJ will provide their own equipment.
·        All vendors must clean up after themselves.

If you are looking for trusted vendors, we have curated a list on our Vendors Page (https://www.5familyranch.com/vendors)to help you get started.

Question 2

Can we get in the day before to decorate?

Accepted Answer

If you require additional time for decorating or wish to hold your rehearsal or rehearsal dinner at the venue the day before your event, you may rent the barn by the hour, subject to availability. Our calendar, for such rentals, is determined 4 months in advance, and we will contact you at that time.

Question 3

Do you allow pets?

Accepted Answer

• Dogs are allowed to participate in the OUTDOOR wedding ceremony and photos.  Due to health code restrictions, 5 Family Ranch does not permit animals inside the venue (with the exception of service animals).
 • While on the property, 5 Family Ranch requires the animal(s) to be assigned a handler to look after it/them at all times, clean up after the animal(s), and remove them from the property after the completion of photos and/or the ceremony.
