Shadelands Ranch Museum

Shadelands Ranch Museum is a beautiful location perfectly suited for wedding ceremonies with it's picturesque gazebo, manicured lawns and beautiful gardens. It really doesn't need much decorating. The patio behind the colonial house was perfect for hors d'ouerves and mingling. The location of the trees also worked perfectly by having the gazebo in the shade during our 3:30 ceremony.

The set fee for a wedding ceremony includes 4 hours of time where the park is closed to the public, up to 250 chairs that the caretaker sets up and takes down, and you are the only event of the day. There is plenty of parking and public restrooms.

They lose a star because their office staff was less than stellar. The office employees rarely answered the phones and it always took a couple of days for them to return phone calls, if at all. When we were trying to get the site booked, they ignored our messages for almost a week. I finally spoke with the caretaker who apologized profusely and gave us his home number. I could tell by his tone that he was frustrated with the office employees. It was almost as if they didn't want our business. In the end we got everything booked and it all worked out well. But it was irritating at the beginning.
