Wonderful experience

My husband and I got married here on Feb 10, 2024. I would highly recommend this venue. The staff were incredible and very responsive from pre booking to the wedding night. It was seamless. I had zero stress on the day and everything was taken care of. 10/10

Wonderful Venue

We had our wedding at the Cochrane Ranchehouse back in October! This venue was just STUNNING- and the fall colors were the cherry on top. The property had multiple outdoor locations for beautiful photos. The venue was free the day before the wedding so they accommodated an early set up and the rehearsal. Kattie was the contact person for organizing all the details and answering any questions- she was wonderful to work with and was very responsive. The staff who helped us unload the liquor and clean up were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. If you are looking for a rustic & romantic venue, you would not go wrong having your wedding at the Cochrane Ranchehouse!

Amazing Venue

We had the absolute best wedding at the Ranchehouse! They are very efficient with knowing what works best for their space, and recommending how to set up. Kattie was a star for adjusting our room layout right until the last minute. The outdoor ceremony location is just beautiful, the outdoor grassy area was great for kids who wanted to run around, and the flooring in the Chinook room was perfect for dancing.

Gorgeous Venue!

We had an amazing wedding day at the Cochrane Ranchehouse. Kattie (the event coordinator) was extremely responsive and helpful in the lead up and planning to our big day, and the facilities team that was there on the day of made sure everything was running smoothly. Guests continually commented on how beautiful the venue was, and we just got our photos back and they could not have looked better! The Ranchehouse is a gorgeous venue that I would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful Venue

Amy and the staff at the Cochrane Ranchehouse were an absolute joy to work with! Amy was always so kind, considerate, and helpful whenever we called or emailed with questions. It’s also great to have both an indoor and outdoor ceremony space option if the weather turns last minute. This gave us great peace of mind. We had lots of compliments from guests on how beautiful the spot was and it’s nice it’s basically in Cochrane without realizing you’re in Cochrane to keep transportation and accommodations easy. Definitely recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
