I highly recommend you book your venue here! Not just because of its beauty but their team! Jessica was my wedding planner and if I could make a clone of her I would! Me and my husband booked our venue for multiple days since we held a traditional Nigerian Wedding with a traditional western wedding which we know as the white dress ceremony. When I tell you the details, and the amount of time and energy Jessica and their team spent on our wedding brings tears to my eyes. My day was beyond perfect and breathtaking. I looked forward to every phone call and the accommodations made for our Nigerian wedding made my family and friends feel so special. I don't have words for Jessica and her team. Jessica isn't just a rockstar but was extremely detail oriented, communicated everything from start to finish, took care of any stressors in the background and kept me stress free from booking the venue to our checkout of the bridal suite. Oh and let me tell you the bridal suite was spectacular! The main thing I came here to is Greenville is gorgeous with lots of pretty venues but what sold me and my husband was Ron, Ashley, and Jessica. We even adopted a barn cat from the wedding Venue! So not only did I get the perfect day we got the perfect cat! read more

I got married at South Wind Ranch in September and it was a flawless event! Booking and Planning: I was contacted quickly after submitting a booking request and met with the owner, who was friendly and clearly cares for the brides that come through his venue. Shortly after booking I was contacted by the planning team, who were immediately amazing. We were assigned Jessica as our primary planner and she was INCREDIBLE from day one all the way through the event. She made the initial planning process so easy by providing vendor options and communicating back and forth to get things booked quickly. She answered all of my emails or texts immediately and always provided such helpful information. I left each meeting with her with a huge sense of relief and confidence that I was in good hands. I had my wedding planned with her help way in advance, which really reduced the overall stress level. Rehearsal/Day Before: I chose the 2-day event package so I was able to have my rehearsal dinner onsite the night before and then stay with my bridal party in the bridal suite. Jessica ran the rehearsal quick and efficiently, making sure it was fun but that the whole wedding party was prepared for the next day. The suite was super convenient, not to mention decorated so cute, which made for great "getting ready" pictures the next morning. It was relaxing to wake up leisurely and sip on coffee with my girls before the wedding day got started. Day of: It was perfect! The entire event was planned on a well thought out timeline and Jessica and her team kept that running so smoothly throughout. They handled everything with the vendors and all I had to do was show up knowing that everything was being taken care of. She made sure I ate, had everything that I needed, and packed a to-go box of food and cake for us for after everyone left. Jessica also handled the gifts and brought them to the suite so I truly didn't have to worry about anything at the end of the night. We were able to stay in the honeymoon suite that night so we didn't have to travel when the wedding ended. The next morning everything was already cleaned up and packed up for us. Me and my family didn't have to lift a finger for set up or tear down, which allowed us to all just enjoy the event. People always say to expect something to go wrong on the wedding day, and I can truly say that I had nothing go wrong on mine. That was due in large part to Jessica and the entire South Wind Ranch team. I very highly recommend Jessica and SWR for any event!!! read more

Jessica was my wedding planner and made mine and my husband's dreams come true. I wasn't the typical bride that knew exactly what I wanted. However, Jessica listened and helped us dream big. She helped us step out of the ballpark and create a wedding full of galaxy colors, Disney, and encouraged our dreams to go the extra mile. She helped us find a laser light show, in order to fulfill my husband's dreams. Jessica is so sweet, excited about making your dreams come true, and will share her love as long as you're willing to give her the chance. We, the Greeleys, absolutely loved working with her. read more

We got married at SWR in March 2023. We loved working with all the folks there!! Special shout out to our planner, Jessica Nepshaw! She was responsive and did an amazing job of giving me vendor ideas. I couldn't imagine the day without her - on the day of the wedding, she kept things going and remembered all the little things that make the day go smoothly! We are not from the area and she went above and beyond to scope out rentals and had loads of recs for caterers, photo/video, florals, etc. Highly recommend SWR for your wedding or event! read more

My son and daughter-in-law had their wedding here this past weekend and the venue and service is phenomenal! A lovely place to have a wedding. The land is picturesque. Goats in the distance and cows too. A little pond and swings. It's a great indoor/outdoor open space. All of the staff were top notch! There is handicapped parking available also. Parking attendants are available as well. read more

My husband and I recently had the wedding of our dreams at South Wind Ranch in Travelers Rest, SC, and Jessica Nepsha was our wedding planner. The venue was phenomenal and exceeded our expectations - this is the place if you're looking for a beautiful landscape to bring your wedding vision to life. Everyone at South Wind was beyond gracious and helpful; they made us feel like we were a part of the family, which meant a lot to us. The owner, Ron, is simply the best, as he allowed my family and me to come and visit the venue as often as needed. But hands down, our dream wedding would not have been possible without our wedding planner, Jessica. My husband and I are both professional athletes, and with our seasons being eight months out of the year on the road, finding time to plan a wedding was nearly impossible. Jessica is the one who made it all come together for us. She met with us as needed to understand our vision, put us in touch with all the best-suited vendors, and answered questions whenever needed. Additionally, we wanted an unconventional wedding that had many moving parts. The goal was to have our family and friends be able to interact and enjoy this special occasion as much as possible. We were looking for an experience, not just an event. Jessica did a phenomenal job helping us plan all activities, which included hitting golf balls to a floating green into the property lake. I unequivocally recommend booking a wedding at South Wind Ranch. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this PROPERTY for anyone to get married. It's absolutely gorgeous and Ron the owner is absolute amazing. Please, PLEASE before booking with South Wind, have a conversation about booking and using their wedding coordinators. If you're told your coordinator will be Ashley, you're good! But please PLEASE if you are told your coordinator will be Jessica, RUN AND FAST!!! She's absolutely terrible. Like so terrible that it actually broke my heart how bad she was. I planned my entire wedding.... I booked all my vendors, spoke and coordinated with all of them, figured out details, EVERYTHING. My supposed "coordinator" did not ever reach out to me on her own. I had to reach out to her for any questions and plus she never even answered that hardly other than maybe a text message here and there or if she did it was days later. one that likes to be organized and and ready to go WAY in advance. She didn't even reach out to try to coordinate with me until a little more than TWO WEEKS before the wedding. Do you know how stressful and emotional that is for a bride who is not supposed to worry about doing anything but marrying the love of her life? She also always had a oblivious attitude that she didn't do anything wrong or that everything was okay. It was heartbreaking! My parents did whatever they could to make sure I was able to get married at this venue and to know they had to pay a lot of extra money for someone who was absolute garbage is enraging to me. AWFUL. So disrespectful of your time and money was all she was. LASTLY, if she couldn't get any worse, because she waited so late to try to coordinate with me, she was rushing I believe to get all the details together (point being I never even received a timeline or floor plan until a little over a WEEK before the wedding that was made without even coordinating with me...) that she was calling vendors and making decisions... BEFORE ASKING ME! Which included adding on things and more money for me to spend. SO DISRESPECTFUL! Almost every one of my vendors reached out to either myself or my mother and told us that whoever our supposed coordinator is... needs to be let go or put in her place. Two of my vendors were furious actually. Because she called making decisions after we had already talked to the vendors and told them exactly what we wanted so it was confusing and screwing them because they were going back and forth, (for example she called my caterer and suggested we add back items we took off because she had on the timeline to have our food served at 8:15 PM which was never even asked by me). It's different to make a suggestion to a vendor after consulting with the bride, but to make suggestions to a vendor before even consulting with me was infuriating. Not to mention, I had a photo booth pop up on the day of the wedding (I was the one who booked, contacted and had everything planned for that as well) and had a solid plan in place. She proceeds to contact and tell them to show up an hour earlier without consulting me which cost me an extra $250.. THAT IS NOT THAT VENDORS FAULT. Period. They were doing what they were told and it's not a situation where "they should've told us it cost more", NO. I SHOULD'VE BEEN CONSULTED BEFOREHAND. PERIOD. Do you want to know the worst thing? I WAS NEVER EVEN REFUNDED BY SOUTH WIND. Even though it was THEIR planner's fault. Be aware, they will act like they care, blow smoke up and act like they are going to fix things but NOTHING was ever fixed. It's infuriating, heartbreaking and altogether WRONG. This review may be harsh but I gave them PLENTY of chances to make this right after multiple attempts to try to approach it the right way. Nothing was ever done. A planner who did NOTHING was paid good money for me planning my own wedding and I was also charged more money for things she did and it was never corrected. It's just unacceptable. Our food from our caterers? Never even saw any of what we had left that WE paid for. Our cakes that were left over? THEY WERE GIVEN AWAY WITHOUT ASKING ME TO STAFF AND OTHER PEOPLE. At least half of my bridal party and even some other attendees who were apart of my day informed me how rude Jessica was. Just please be aware. This is from my OWN experience. Was my wedding day amazing? Absolutely. Would I get married there again? For sure. But the experience and stress I had to deal with up until the actual day? NEVER. After analyzing, and again this is how I FEEL, is that I was given a script of saying they cared and wanted to make everything right, but it was all about making money to me to where I felt sad, heartbroken, unimportant and that I was just another person who booked their venue. Again, I would still recommend someone to get married here but ONLY because of the absolute beauty of the venue. That's about it. read more

Great venue and my wedding planner was great Jessica made sure our special day ran smoothly as possible. We will never forget our special day read more

My son and daughter-in-law were married here in November 2022 and it was amazing!!! The venue was gorgeous and all the vendors were outstanding but special thanks to wedding planner Jessica Nepsha! Jessica you were the best. Douglas and Erin had so many special things they wanted incorporated into their day and you made them ALL happen!!! You were on top of everything from the start and always available when needed. You spent extra time creating those one of a kind moments- like the full laser show that occurred throughout the night and you made sure that everything went off without a hitch. Having coordinated some weddings myself and knowing what goes into making the day spectacular I was at ease placing everything into your hands and thoroughly enjoyed being part of the magic that happened on that day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you are searching for an all around perfect experience check out South Wind Ranch and ask to speak with Jessica! read more

South Wind Ranch is stunning! Gorgeous white barn, lake, acres of green - just perfect. Love that they have a guest house available also. No need for a hotel after the wedding :) read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception Labor Day 2021. The venue itself was beautiful and we and our guest loved it. The night was perfect weather and we had a blast during cocktail hour to the end of dancing. The bridal suite was clean and perfect to get ready and spend the night in. Great job in the facilities! One part we were not satisfied with was the wedding coordinating team. We signed the contract in February of 2020 so had full planning and coordination included in our contract. South Wind Ranch assigned us 4 different coordinators throughout our planning process because the previous 3 had quit or were fired. The last coordinator we were assigned was a week before the wedding and was not responsive or answer our questions. The head of coordination said she would be there day of and was no where to be seen. On wedding day, my family and I showed up to the venue at 1pm and it was a mess. There were desserts from the previous night all over outside with ants in it, the cushions were soaked with water but left on the couches, trash cans were full, and a lot of debris / trash on the floor. We had to pick up all of that because now day of coordinator had to run out for ~2 hours to do an errand (3 hours before the event). Needless to say the prep for the event was extremely stressful with missing nametags (the groom and maid of honor) and a dirty venue. Meanwhile I had to go up and get ready and leave my parents scrambling to get the barn ready. Another coordinator was there but meeting with another couple the whole time. We were very disappointed with this and it caused us a lot of stress hours before the event. They were helpful during the event in terms of making sure we had the things we needed and having things organized at the end of the night to pack up the next morning, but the prep work left a lot to be desired. Thankfully we had a great DJ, Audiografs, who helped coordinate the reception and make sure everything was on time and flowing well. Also make sure to get everything in writing. We had issues with the linens being included but then the venue changed the service and they weren't willing to give us linens. Thankfully I found the email stating linens were provided and got that taken care of. One other thing I was the walkway to the barn. We had two guest fall (one on the bridge and one on the gravel). When we did our tour of the venue and in our contract, there was supposed to be a golf cart to transport guest to and from their cars and take us up the hill for pictures, but that was nowhere to be found. I didn't even have a golf cart from the bridal suite to the barn, so had to walk in heels and my dress down a very steep hill which was not the easiest. I also sent all this information the week after my reception to the owner and heard nothing back. If I would have heard anything back about the situation I would have given the venue better rating and review. Communication was very poor. Despite the stress of the coordination and some logistics, I had a wonderful reception with friends and family. read more
