The absolute PERFECT location for our all-inclusive weekend long wedding. Sarah, Don and the entire Rusty Spurs Ranch crew were great to work with. The food was wonderful and the venue is so beautiful. Highly recommend reaching out to Don about booking for your wedding or large event. Reviewed on 10-11-2023
Patrick Coon(parent)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-06-2020 Don't use this place, they spend your money and won't let you cancel as they don't have any money per the owner Don on our 5/14/2020 call, both of the Kids getting Married are Cadets at West Point Military Academy and are graduating next week and are not available to get married do to time and order restrictions,.Don the owner said if we cant reschedule its not his fault but he will keep the $24,911 paid to date. As a US Army Veteran myself I am appalled that he has decided to steal this couple's money...I guess we will have to pursue Dodosa in court, Don't Dodosa you'll be sorry, they will spend your money with no regrets..

Sydney Cox(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2019 Our wedding was spectacular. The whole weekend was beyond anything we could have imagined, all of our guests couldn't stop gushing all weekend about how beautiful everything was and how much fun everyone was having. From the moment we got there, it was so relaxing and fun. Even my mom - who is a total stressball - was just glowing about how relaxed she felt. We were all just nonstop smiling all weekend. The rehearsal dinner was so casual and all of our friends and family were smiling nonstop - and the food was delicious. The cabins are really nice, and very comfortable. They are shared (one room with multiple beds) but as much as that worried me in the beginning, everyone was cool with it and they were all very comfortable. People don't end up spending much time in the cabins anyway, there is far too much fun stuff to do. I will say that Dawn and Don are very busy people - they have a lot to plan all year long. Sometimes an email may go unanswered or a small detail forgotten, but PLEASE rest assured that they are on top of it and your wedding with come out flawlessly. They really do pull off an amazing event. I am still beaming from how perfect it all was. They totally nailed our vision and my husband, family and I will all remember it as the most fun weekend of our lives. Oh - we also highly recommend the mechanical bull at the rehearsal dinner - that ended up being a highlight! Thank you so much Don and Dawn - we wish you all the best! Reviewed on 04-06-2019
Brittney Ward(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2018 From the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch, the weekend was spectacular. Not a thing went wrong, in my opinion. Everything was gorgeous and the food was sensational. Every guest I spoke to said the Venue and food was amazing. My guests had a great time in the cabins! There was never a dull moment on the weekend of my wedding. Thank you Don, Dawn & Jessica (especially) for everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Reviewed on 20-06-2018
Melissa Campilli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2018 Dodasa is nothing short of amazing! From the moment I talked to Dawn on the phone, I knew that I was going to love the people and this place. Just from our conversations, I knew she was honest and sincere and I appreciated that so much. Then, we got to meet Mr. Don - what a guy! The two of them made us feel so at home and that the weekend was all about making sure we were enjoying ourselves. They didn't want us to worry about a single thing and that was obvious when they were taking care of everything - literally anything you could think of. And Jessica, their coordinator...I get choked up just thinking about how fortunate I was to have her in my corner! She is SO good at what she does and she does it genuinely. She takes care of everyone and everything for the whole weekend - it blows my mind! She took my vision and brought it to life, more than I could have imagined. There wasn't one detail missing - she thought of it all. Also, the DJ was great! So detailed and took the time to talk with us on the phone and did exactly what we asked. The rest of the staff at Dodasa were SO friendly and accommodating. Sometimes I didn't know what to do with myself because they had already taken care of everything - just amazing. If you are looking for a weekend long, relaxing, fun, storybook wedding, then Dodasa is the place. The venue itself is OUT OF THIS WORLD. It's gorgeous and the set up they have is all you need. I got to spend my wedding weekend hanging out with my closest friends and family and actually got to enjoy every moment with them because of Dodasa and their staff. I need someone else to get married there and invite me just so I can go back! Love this place and these people. Reviewed on 13-06-2018
Chris Schweitzer(groom)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2018 reposting this review because it was removed without my consent.We were very excited about possibly having our wedding at Dodasa Ranch. We fell in love with the venue from the photos and it was exactly what we had in mind, at least until we realized we were not given all the facts before hand. We were interested in having a 1 day only wedding and called to make an appointment before driving 7+ hours see the venue. We made it very clear that we wanted a 1 day Saturday wedding when we spoke with Jessica and she said they had plenty of 1 day dates left in our time frame. When we arrived Don and Dawn come in and all they want to talk about is the whole weekend package package w/ venue and cabins. We were clear we were not interested in our guests staying in the cabins and listed our reasons but they were quickly dismissed. We also then found out that if we wanted the 1 day it would have to be on a Sunday for the venue in the photos or be at their \"new\" venue which is an un-finished site currently under construction (hole in the ground). They said you have to use your imagination. We cannot take the risk that it will be the look we want or that it will be done in time for our wedding. We feel they intentionally mislead us on what they were showing and what would be available for the 1 day package. What's worse is they knew we were driving 14+ hours round trip to see the venue in the photos, knowing we could not get that venue unless we do the weekend package, and never once disclosed any of it before hand. Not to mention they still haven't gotten back to us with any of the information we asked for and it has been over a week.If they offer you the 1 day package for Saturday, it is not the enchanting site you see in the photos. Make sure you know what you will be viewing before getting there. Reviewed on 19-01-2018
April Chastain(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-04-2017 My dream wedding was more than I EVER envisioned because my now husband found Dodasa Ranch! When they say \"all inclusive\" they mean it! The way the staff interacted with us was very refreshing. Their guests satisfaction is very apparent and so appreciated! Our weekend guests had a blast on the mechanical bull, boat cruising, and trap shooting. And we are still talking about the delicious food that was provided all weekend long! Thank you, Don and Dawn, for all your hard work to make this the magical wedding I so very much wanted! We are both still on cloud nine over it and many of our guests have reached out to tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been a part of! Reviewed on 04-04-2017
