April 2026 - All inclusive package + Extra…read more We picked this venue in June 2025, so we had about 10 months of planning. We fell in love with the grounds- they have a spacious venue with various 'yards' that we viewed in our walk through of the venue. The space is beautiful and natural, if you pay attention to what's around you - you'll notice a ton of little things like honey suckle, fish in the river, and blackberry bushes. We were contracted under their all inclusive option, so much of the planning fell onto me and my fiancé - though we were able to contact Devin, Montana, and Sierra about any questions we have. There was some wait time in response but we came to understood that they have a young family. They would connect us with or share their recommended vendors, many of them had all the items we were looking for and more! Us being rather new to formal events, Montana and Sierra walked us through what is typically expected and timelines- like father daughter dance, bouquet toss, etc and alternatives - so we could think about what we wanted to do or wanted to add. (RBR related vendors - bar / photography) Photography: Devin is really quick to respond and works with all styles of photography I had shown him from our Pinterest inspiration. He's really chill, he walked us through our first 'professional shoot'. We loved our photos that he returned to us! Bar: I forget the bar staffs name, but she was super super accommodating and informative. We brought our own items and she was able to tell us the FL oz and the range of amount for the drinks we desired at the wedding. [leading up to the wedding ] Montana and Sierra would touch base with us and had walk throughs of the facility to talk about our vision, placement, variability in placement (cause it's a huge space), and setting up of the rehearsal day and timeframes. [Day-before wedding] Rehearsal was smooth. We were able to practice as many times as we needed to get a feel for what to expect and do for the wedding. We were able to make last minute changes to the binder plan that my fiancé and I had prepared to meet a better aesthetic. Sierra promptly wrote these new notes down and walked us through pacing and what to expect as well as get our family members to be comfortable with this part of the ceremony. [Day of Wedding] POV you're me and my fiancé. We have 95% planned out and done and we're scrambling lowkey on getting our folks together and on schedule with us an our coordinators. We had some DIY we didn't get to finish - putting photos on backdrops and putting our papers on the seating chart. Sierra and co was able to finish this on our behalf so we can have our day to just be our big fun day with everyone! We never expected them to do it for us and we are so thankful that they did - albeit it was not major DIY (getting ready for the day took us longer than expected). Sierra, Devin, and Montana checked in with us to let us know our timeline for our wedding day and kept us moving so we can get all the big stuff out of the way so we can enjoy the rest of it. Sierra would check in on us to make sure we knew when to be ready by for photos with Devin, where to go for rep-entrance, and when we were done with all the mini events planned. By the end of the night, my fiancé and I were a good silly mood and so happy that we chose venue and so thankful for the team that made the day so smooth for us. They were accommodating and clear with all the little customizations we wanted for our wedding. All we had to do basically day of was bring our stuff, get ready, do our jobs, have fun, clean up our personal items (makeup clothes), and pick up our big items the next day. Our guests loved the venue, the vibes, and the staff. I would love to come here again as a guest so I can enjoy a drink by the riverbed

The property is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but our experience was ultimately stressful and disappointing. Communication with the venue manager, Montana, was very difficult throughout the entirety of our planning. Important details we were promised during our site visit with Devin (like being allowed music until 11 PM) were later changed, including being told less than three weeks before our wedding that our live band could not perform. Catering was also problematic -- the contracted vendor was switched, tastings were hard to arrange, prices changed unexpectedly, and on the wedding day food came out cold and many plates with missing or incorrect sides dishes. The venue itself needed more upkeep than expected. Our family had to clean up the grounds the night before, including but not limited to trash and dead overgrown vegetation. The bridal suite lost power repeatedly during hair and makeup with only 8 girls getting ready. Cattle also wandered into our ceremony and cocktail spaces prior to our event and the day of - leaving the site in poor condition. Several of our vendors also shared they would no longer work with this venue due to the same repeated challenges. While the property has beautiful grounds and has a lot of potential, I would not recommend it under current management.

We chose the all-inclusive package, and it was the best decision--from the dress, video and pictures to the catering, everything was handled beautifully. The servers were amazing and made sure everyone ate... and I truly mean everyone! I did opt out of a couple of things and honestly wish I hadn't, because every detail they handled was done flawlessly. The owner, Amparo, went above and beyond what is required to run a business. She was attentive, caring, and made sure every single detail was perfect from start to finish. If you are looking for a venue for a wedding or quinceañera, do not look anywhere else. This experience was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I highly recommend getting the fast pass so you don't have to wait in line; in my opinion, it's totally worth it. The merchandise is good, but I'd love to see more graphic tees and some unique items from local sellers, especially Halloween-themed, to make it feel extra special. The place is really clean overall, though the porta-potties can get pretty messy, my advice is to use them before you go if you can. Can't wait to go back, I absolutely love this place!

What stood out most, though, was working with Elizabeth. Her response times were consistently solid, and communication was clear throughout the process. As a professional planner, I would recommend this venue to clients looking for an all-inclusive experience that doesn't feel cookie-cutter. The space allows for flexibility and personalization, and with Elizabeth's support, the process felt intentional, collaborative, and well-managed rather than overly templated. I had a long list of questions and concerns, and each one was handled with patience and professionalism. Elizabeth made sure expectations were met. Overall, the experience felt supported, and that level of reliability made a noticeable difference. I feel great knowing that when I refer clients to this venue they will be heard, valued and in good hands. I can't wait until our next event!!

Lack of communication, communication, communication! in case you missed it.....communication!!! Let…read moreme start off with something positive, because this is all this venue is going to get. The facility is BEAUTIFUL! Plenty of parking, plenty of different areas to host your big day. All that to say, the owner and wedding coordinators will stress you the HELL out. My friend got married here and it took them roughly 2-3 months to even get in contact with her AFTER she had booked the venue. Even after constant emails to the venue. After finally getting in contact, the coordinators ended up getting switched because there's been 0 communication from the venue to the vendors to the brides. The original coordinator double booked herself and put my cousins wedding to the side because her other client was "bigger. Completely unprofessional, thankfully the new coordinators got the ball rolling, mind you this all happened just a few months before the big day, and 0 vendors had been booked. The day of the wedding the bartender was less than accommodating when she advised us that the venue didn't communicate with what drinks she wanted done. The only offer she had was it was an extra $75 and that she needed a whole day to make her michelada mix . Even after we offered to get whatever she needed she just was not willing to help the situation at all. I would save your hard earned money, and the stress and go somewhere else, where you'll be taken care of.

As an event planner, I'm always looking at venues through both a design and logistics lens and Wolf…read moreLakes Park truly stands out in both. I recently had the opportunity to plan and design a romantic wedding here, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. The property itself is absolutely stunning, especially for outdoor celebrations. Between the natural surroundings and the way the light hits during golden hour, it creates such an effortlessly beautiful backdrop. What I love most about this venue is how versatile it is from a design standpoint. I felt like I was really able to transform the space to reflect my couple's vision and make it feel unique to them, while still letting the natural setting shine through. It's the kind of place that supports both simplicity and more elevated, layered design. From a planner's perspective, the team made a huge impact. The staff was incredibly helpful, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process and on event day. That level of support behind the scenes makes all the difference in creating a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. The layout also allows for a natural flow between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, which is something I always prioritize when designing an event. If you're looking for a Central Valley venue that combines romantic scenery, flexibility, and a well-run team, this is absolutely a place I would recommend.

We were told by whoever finally responded to the security system, that the staff member was "probably on the way because they weren't calling him back". After waiting over 20 minutes, I finally received a call from someone named Parm, who said my appointment was actually scheduled on March 22nd. When I tried to explain to him that I had canceled that appointment and rescheduled for today, he immediately cut me off and told me that I needed to listen to him now. My fiance overhead his tone of voice and immediately told him that he wasn't to speak to me in that manner. Bottom line, things happen for a reason. We were unable to tour the venue as scheduled, treated very unprofessionally by the staff, and therefore decided to look elsewhere for our wedding venue.
