Paniolo Ranch is magical. The scenery, garden, and ceremony spot is breathtaking and makes a perfect wedding. The host Judy takes care of EVERYTHING - bouquets, centerpieces, cake (which tastes amazing), officiant , plus more. The Bridal Suite is also perfect for any bride with amazing views and a huge jacuzzi. Not to mention, she has quite a few bed & breakfast available for plenty guests. You do not have to worry about traveling before or after your wedding. It is very convenient for not only the couple, but bridal party. My wedding dream came true at the Paniolo Ranch. My husband and I wanted

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is your place - it has been so relaxing spending time in nature, watching the deer and butterflies. The Pineapple House is darling, with lovely views and your own hot tub. Great for a couple's getaway or solo retreat. Delicious breakfast and coffee are provided. This is my second visit to Paniolo Ranch and I will be back again.

Horrible. We booked Paniolo ranch for our girls getaway. The house and the ranch were nice but service was not. The day of check in, the owner gave me her phone number to contact her. I called her when we were there and she was a little rude but I blew it off. We booked the girls getaway package $175 per person. The owner, Judy, told all of us the wrong times for our massages. After the massage we were booked for lunch and Judy made us feel like a bother because she had to meet with a bride even though we booked months in advance. She was not professional in any way. The first night we got there

My friends and I went to Paniolo ranch for a weekend (stayed 2 nights) and got the "Girls Getaway" package. The ranch was beautiful and relaxing, but the host, Judy, was not professional at all. She would not answer our messages or calls concerning our itinerary. We reserved the Ohana house which included a private hot tub (paid extra for the hot tub) that DID NOT work. Our "Girls Getaway" package included a movie night, which she did not follow through, stating that she was already in bed and was unable to attend us, keep in mind it was only 7pm. The ranch and house were great, but Judy was vague

Had a great weekend stay! Loved the Pineapple house. Super cute space and we loved the private back porch and hot tub. The public spaces were well maintained and very nice, beautiful butterflies everywhere. The pool and views were great! Plenty of places to sit, visit and enjoy the great Hill Country views!

This is a hidden gem. We had an incredibly relaxing time hanging out by the pool and cooking in the outdoor kitchen. The grounds are epic and the owner is accommodating and gracious. I accidentally locked my keys in my car and the grounds keeper was helpful and kind and let us hang out until a locksmith showed up (which took 2 hours so definitely watch your keys out there).
The location is the perfect mix of seclusion and proximity to Hill country goodies. Can't recommend enough!

One of my absolute favorite places now. My (now husband) and I were planning a wedding in October after our first baby arrived. But when we found our baby only had half a heart plans changed. He would need multiple surgeries and one surgery right after birth and if he survived we would be looking at months and months in the hospital. We had to relocate to Houston and our wedding plans seemed impossible to think about.
We knew we wanted to marry before Noah's arrival but the thought and stress we were both under for what was to come. I didn't have the energy to even think about wedding

We should have known something was up when all of the rooms had signs offering free wine in exchange for a 5 star review.
The wedding I attended was about a month ago, I decided to cool down and not leave a bad review when I was mad.... but I'm still so offended and upset with what my best friend and her groom had to deal with from these people.
The one star can account for the beautiful venue! Unfortunately the staff wasn't as nice as the views. I was the MoH in a wedding here recently, and though the bride and groom expressed difficulties dealing with these people months before the

Paniolo Ranch was perfect for our wedding! The views were spectacular and made for amazing photos. HUGE shoutout to Hunter who helped us with our ceremony and reception. He was the nicest, most accommodating, and just insanely helpful. He did his best to help us with whatever he could and anytime we needed to contact him he was always immediately available. Judy, with the bed and breakfast side, was so sweet and easy to work with which made for a stress-free wedding weekend. We would recommend Paniolo Ranch to anyone!

The views at Paniolo Ranch are breathtaking. The O'Hana will not disappoint any traveler, it has a full size kitchen with all the cookware, dinnerware and utensils available. Just sitting outside is so relaxing, whether it's on the front porch or the back porch. We enjoyed our stay.

Paniolo Ranch was the perfect place to have our wedding. On our first visit we fell in love with the place, and knew we had to have our wedding there. The view, garden, ceremony, and reception area are all to die for. The team at Paniolo is incredibly professional and accommodating. I was planning my wedding on my own from a different city. Each time I emailed with questions I got a speedy response back with the answers I needed.
At the last minute we decided to add the photo booth and WOW! It was sooooo worth it!! People were lined up all night, and the booth ran smoothly. We received the best

My wife and I used Paniolo Ranch as our wedding ceremony/party venue in February of this year. I had a wonderful time, and even with a couple cold patches throughout the day, it was a scenic, beautiful venue. The stone amphitheater where we held our ceremony was awesome! And the vine tunnel was used as a great walk out point. The party ranch, and the honeymoon suite in particular were both lovey and badass. Judy and her staff were greatly accommodating and enjoyable to work with.

I just want to send a personal thank you to all of you who helped to make Ian and Jessica's wedding a weekend to remember. Your customer service and attention to detail was greatly appreciated.
We were captured with the beauty of the ceremony area, reception venue, and bed and breakfast cottages. Our accommodations were wonderful, the rehearsal dinner was outstanding and the send-off breakfast was excellent!!! It made family time so much more enjoyable!!
Your flexibility and hospitality went above and beyond in satisfying our needs and wishes amongst the inclement weather. Thank

I was so nervous up to the day of our wedding, but Judy and her staff reassured us all along the way that everything would be wonderful and encouraged us to relax and enjoy our time leading up to the big day. It became clear from the day of rehearsal that we truly had nothing to worry about. Judy took charge and made sure everything was as promised, and as it was supposed to be. Our package with Paniolo covered everything except the musicians, DJ, and photographer - and it couldn't have been more beautiful. The bouquets were perfect, the table settings and flowers were whimsical but refined

I got married at Paniolo Ranch on 10/1/16.
We fell in love with this venue after looking at tons of pictures online. We actually didn't see the venue in person before booking it. (We saw it for the first time on our wedding day!) I had a lot of conversations with Judy (the venue owner) and had my MOH tour it, since she lives in TX. She loved it, so we booked it. Still...I had so many reservations and spent a lot of time worrying about this, since I was leaving so much in their hands.
Luckily all of my worries were COMPLETELY unnecessary. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

My friends, Bridget and Craig Ferguson got married here on Friday November 4, 2016. It was the most amazing, peaceful and accommodating places I've ever been to!! Even the rain couldn't take the sunshine away from this place, it was still gorgeous and super comfy! I felt so relaxed and the wedding was just absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad I got to see my two friends who are madly in love, tie the knot here. The entire staff was so helpful and kind. I love how it's a quite little retreat, buried in the trees where you can get away and feel stress-free. I definitely want to come

I just got married at Paniolo Ranch 10/22/16 and wanted to make sure to write this review while it was still fresh in my mind!! I may be partial, but I truly believe Paniolo is the prettiest venue in the Hill Country. Judy and C'ne came through and helped create the most memorable and beautiful ceremony for my husband, family, friends and I. There was no shortage of compliments from everyone who attended. I also appreciated the helping hands from Judy's family and enjoyed working with everyone on the wedding reception! Thank you Paniolo for making our wedding absolutely perfect!! - Newly

We just got home from another wonderful stay at Paniolo. This is our 7th annual trip & will not be the last. The laid back atmosphere with no schedules to worry about is so much better than having to be at breakfast at a certain time. Breakfast is in your refrigerator & you heat it & eat it when you are ready. We always stay in the Pineapple House with its own private hot tub under the stars. Dinner is just twenty minutes away in Boerne or Comfort. The spa is wonderful, especially the Afternoon Delight package. We never think Paniolo can get better, but every year it does. Thank you

After reading the reviews here, I was slightly shocked, and in hindsight, I wish I head read the reviews before I booked my most recent trip there this last labor day weekend. Although I was totally displeased with our accommodations, I should have done more research.
Don't get me wrong. The place was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and it was just the "off the beaten path" kind of place that I was looking for. Me and my boyfriend decided to spend our long weekend touring the hill country. We chose this place last minute on a holiday weekend but after seeing the pictures and the fact

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Paniolo Ranch this past weekend and CANNOT stop talking about it to our friends back in Houston. The views are breathtaking and the accommodations were even better.
I want to start with the ONLY thing we were disappointed with (just to get it out of the way): by the time we arrived, the lake had dried up, which huge was a bummer. BUT, as Judy explained, they were in a 3-year drought so there was little to be done. So, we just decided to spend most of our time in the pool which faced the rolling hillside anyway and was a nice relief from the August heat.
