Recently celebrated a wedding here in the Magnolia Ballroom for ~330 people. Working with the coordinators went so smoothly and they made sure to answer all the questions we had - regarding anything and everything!We worked with Cassidy for the event, and during the event she made sure to keep us updated with the status of food and drinks and anything else.Phenomenal service here! Would love to come back for another event if needed.

We recently had our wedding at the Safari Lodge. It was breathtaking and everything I imagined and more. Alli helped us along the entire journey and we couldn't be more appreciative for everything she did for us. The communication was amazing and on the day of the wedding, she would consistently check in on us to see if we needed anything. She even above and beyond to help me find a last-minute makeup artist when mine didn't show up. We couldn't be happier to have had our special day here. If you're debating where to have your wedding, look no further than Safari Texas Ranch. The next time we have an event, we're coming back here for our future daughters Quince, sweet 16, or any event really. We will forever recommend this place to everyone we know.

The night was perfect and was something we will never forget. Their team did such an incredible job from the bartenders to the gentlemen picking up as everyone finished their food and drinks. Big shoutout to Noe, he was always so attentive anytime my wife and I were near the bar. We’re lucky to have Beth along the way because she definitely made this process so smooth for us from the beginning. We will continue to rave about your services and forward you along to anyone we know who is in need of catering/wedding info.

We do not regret the decision of deciding to go with Safari Ranch as our wedding venue. It turned out perfect and we were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and thoughtfulness that provided by the staff. Our venue spokesperson was Alli and she was very detailed and thoughtful during the whole process. She accommodated to our every needs and was very flexible on our guest’s diet restrictions (providing separate plates based on dietary restrictions). My husband and I were not a couple that wanted a full blown wedding (we did it for our parents), but we do not regret it as everything went smooth and there was minimal stress involved with the assistance of Alli. I also appreciated that they are also not a type of venue who tries to charge for every upgrade (a lot of venues will charge you every dime and penny). We got a lot of compliments on the venue (roman gardens/magnolia) room. We didn’t feel the need to decorate much because the outdoor ceremony area and reception rooms were beautiful.

For purposes of describing our experience, I'll just share part of a letter of thanks that we sent to the venue after they hosted our reception:We wanted to let you know how deeply appreciative we are of your hosting and handling of our wedding reception of January 22 in your Infinity Ballroom. It really could not have gone better than it did, and we thank your staff for their efforts and hospitality. Not only was it a stress-free and wonderful experience for us, but our guests loved being there and gushed to us with praise - about the food, about the venue, and so on. This was the biggest night of our lives, and everything you did was noticed and felt, and we are so happy.We’d like to just properly acknowledge with some specificity some of the people / aspects of the service:The wait staff were so professional and courteous. Everything ran on time. And honestly, we didn’t even notice them. They were invisible in the best possible way, if that makes sense. The gentleman who were at the two bars were so nice and welcoming to our guests. We received many comments from our guests about what a good job they did!There was a gentleman who was helping Sohini Tomar the night of our reception. He was so helpful and conscientious. He did many small things to help us without asking, and asked us about some of the big things. Particularly at the end of the night, he did us a great big favor by having the food and cake packed in such a neat and tidy manner. A big thank you to everyone who we interacted with, even for a moment: The personnel in the office who we briefly spoke with when we dropped off payments. The personnel who hosted us during our tasting. The chefs! The food was incredible. Just to give some context, our menu had both Vietnamese and Indian food items. We know this is probably fairly irregular, and wanted to thank the administration for allowing us to have such a unique food experience for our guests. All of the guests loved it. I cannot emphasize this enough. And the food itself was incredible. I cannot tell you how many people on both sides of our wedding guests asked about the food, where was it from, etc, and just expressed how much they enjoyed it. And finally, a HUGE thank you to Sohini Tomar, who was our point of contact throughout. She was so easy to work with, and we were always sure that Sohini listened to us and was able to address our particular concerns or sticking points to the best of her ability. That is honestly all you can want. We know for example that Sohini helped make sure that some late arriving guests were properly fed and seated, and it means alot to us that she was able to make them feel welcome without a hitch. Again, everything on 1/22 went beautifully, and we know how much of a big role Sohini played in making that happen for us. We’ve tried to capture some of this feedback for you, so that we can properly acknowledge what a great experience you’ve provided to us on such an important occasion for both of our families. It’s not just our own feelings and observations, but the feelings and observations of our family and friends who also helped us considerably on that day and were also appreciative of all that you did, and the feelings of our guests who really just enjoyed the event and were happy to be there with us. With the utmost appreciation,Shourjo, with Mary

They have several customizable options for food / drinks and basic table chair decor..they even had an in-house Indian chef who could cater Indian food..our coordinator Sohini walked us through the entire process smoothly.she was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She worked with us to make critical decisions like guest count which drastically changed due to the Omicron situation. She also helped decide on food options and made appropriate suggestions without any imposition..During the event she kept checking in to make sure everything was smooth.. she immediately made a change to the table setup right when the event was about to start..the staff was very courteous and constantly coordinated any time changes such as dinner start time etc..we are very happy we choose Safari Texas Ranch for our event !!

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at Safari Texas Ranch. Alyssa was especially helpful - from our first contact to the day of the event she was always available and working with us to help us plan the ideal day. We picked from the Halal Indian menu which had a great range of options, and again Alyssa was very helpful in putting together a menu that catered to all of our guests. Our ballroom was ready to go at 10 am the day of our event, and the staff on the day of the event were very friendly, professional and courteous, and the day-of coordinator helped ensure everything ran smoothly. The gold chargers and Chiavari chairs we added really helped make the room look even fancier, while the food was a big hit with all of our guests.The only negative experience we had was with a person who claimed to be the owner of the property. Three hours before our event, as we were setting up the room, the gentleman came in, arguing loudly with other customers, and sat at one of the tables we had already set up with our wedding favors. We didn't say anything and this went on for 20-25 minutes. When they left, we went to go fix the seat where he had moved everything around, and in that time he came back and yelled at us to \"let him sit on HIS chair.\" This was extremely unprofessional behavior and unnecessary stress added to our day mere hours before our event. This individual needs to learn how to deal with customers, as he was the only negative part of our experience with Safari Texas, where the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and professional.

Safari Texas was beyond helpful and understanding with switching dates. The owner himself called to inform me not to stress over the situation, and reassured that he will work with us to make sure we get the wedding of our dreams. We had an outdoor wedding and they made sure everything was perfect. From Power washing, to repainting columns and staying present during the day of the wedding, they Went above and beyond. Special Thank you to Sohini. She was very professional and extremely compassionate in all our interactions.

Thank you to the staff at Safari Texas for working so patiently with us during covid times. Planning a wedding during a pandemic, and postponing it twice seemed unimaginable. Safari Texas was beyond helpful and understanding with switching dates. The owner himself called to inform me not to stress over the situation, and reassured that he will work with us to make sure we get the wedding of our dreams. We had an outdoor wedding and they made sure everything was perfect. From Power washing, to repainting columns and staying present during the day of the wedding, they Went above and beyond. Special Thank you to Sohini. She was very professional and extremely compassionate in all our interactions.

Even before booking, safari made the showing and booking process very easy and accomodating. The contract was clearly written out, and the coordinator explained each clause in detail. They were very patient with both the bride and groom's family and allowed us to ask all our questions.Before our event, Sohini was brought on as our coordinator. This was in the peak of the pandemic. She is AMAZING! She was always very helpful, knowledgeable, and cooperative throughout the entire process. She answered all our concerns for the event and the pandemic. She worked with our vendors well and made sure we had everything running smoothly the day of the event.Sohini and the owner agreed to renegotiate our initial contract the month before the wedding to adjust for sizing and events because of COVID. They were fair in their pricing and worked with us extensively with many unknowns and constantly changing plans because of COVID.We also did our food catering through Safari. We had a great tasting before the event, and the same quality was achieved the day of the event. All of our guests praised the food. We also had great remarks about the bar. They ran the 2 bars efficiently during the night. Guests also appreciated the service overall.We ultimately landed on Safari as a venue pre-COVID because of the new Infinity Ballroom and outdoor wedding option before COVID and we can say we are very happy with our selection post-pandemic. Sohini and the owner of safari worked with us continuously throughout the process and we had a great event.

Safari Texas put us at ease during this pandemic when we were 6 weeks out from the wedding date and our current venue was not sure they could accommodate us. We visited Safari Texas and they truly put the bride and groom at ease and listened attentively to my daughter’s style and wedding wishes. They have reception rooms for various styles. We also were concerned about our guests’ safety and we were so pleased that they were thoroughly cleaning (I smelled bleach and disinfectant in the bathrooms). They also had sanitation stations and offered to check our guests’ temperatures at the chapel & reception. Alyssa organized tastings for the bride and groom, worked with all our vendors and was accommodating to our last minute requests despite the short notice. We received many compliments on the steak and chicken entrees. If you remember the restaurant Vargos and their peacocks they created such a lovely environment, Safari has several that stroll the grounds. They almost stole the show from the Bride & Groom, I saw so many people taking videos and photos of them. We had my daughter’s reception in the Palm Palladium Ballroom which has a lovely garden veranda next to it; unfortunately, we could not use it because of rain but it would be lovely for wedding photos. Thank you Safari Texas staff for a memorable wedding!

Overall, our wedding reception at Safari Texas Ranch (STR) was affordable and accommodated our very large wedding (300+ guests). We had our reception in the Magnolia room, which was large and spacey enough for the cocktail hour and reception. We worked with Sandra to finalize food and decor details. Food overall is on the ok side (nothing fantastic, but there are some tasty options to choose from in our package). We also added the wine/beer for our drink package and STR was willing to work with our preferences. Decor for the table linens were limited to choose from, but at least we got the upgraded ones. Planning process went relatively smooth, and Sandra was very responsive in meeting our requests and questions. One hiccup was that for our July wedding, the smaller cocktail room did not seem to have the AC running early enough to keep our guests cool. Also, the buffet food seemed to run short towards the end of our guests (I think we ran out of pork roast early). Overall, good experience and value.

They were wonderful.On the day of, the logistics were perfect, the venue was set up and reserved seats marked well ahead of time and organizers were very polite and great to work with. Wendy and her set-up team ensured everything went according to schedule. Following the ceremony the staff assisted in escorting guests who were unfamiliar with the ranch to the reception area inside the lodge. Meaghan, Carol, and Delmi were so nice and did a great job. The reception was spectacular. Decorations, food, atmosphere, music, all were perfect there was more than enough hors d'oeuvres for everyone. The selection of food was awesome, some people even thought the appetizers were the main course. Tables were set very elegantly with the highest quality of flatware and china. The main dishes were excellent, served with restaurant/hotel quality and timing, for over 172 people nonetheless. All the courses were delicious, although the seabass and filet mignon stood out among the rest. Servers were all very nice and ensured all the guests had refreshments and were well taken care of. After the meal the entertainment was great, although the music from the DJ was a hair too loud, but the music choice was great and dance floor a good size for all guests. Safari Texas was the perfect venue for our wedding.

Overall, the venue is fantastic, and I do not regret one bit having our whole wedding at this venue. We had our ceremony in the Roman Gardens. While the ceremony fee is a little on the pricier side, it was definitely worth it. So many of our guests keep telling us how beautiful it was. The venue does have less expensive options to have your ceremony, however, if you need that. Sandra, our coordinator, was very helpful. She was always very prompt and thorough with her responses and with making sure everything was taken care of. We had our reception in the Safari Lodge room. We loved the rustic look of the place, and once everything was decorated and lit up, it looked absolutely perfect. I love that they now have a separate buffet room in that area now. Now, the only little downsides and the reason why I didn't give a full five stars: our chicken dish that was served at the wedding was not the same thing that we had at the tasting. That was something that my husband was pretty disappointed about. However, it was still very good. Also, the time slot that they allow you for the use of the reception venue is relatively short, and costs a decent amount to add on more time. These are fairly minor concerns, however. I would still highly recommend this venue to any bride in the area.

On our wedding day, we had no worries once we saw Sandra and how diligently her team was working to make sure we were having a wonderful day. Thank you Safari Texas!

From the first time I walked the grounds at Safari I fell in love. We booked with the Rose Chapel and The Forum--one of the newer ballrooms. I ended up reading reviews on Safari a few weeks later and immediately became nervous. People were saying such awful things! However, the closer we got to the wedding the more those nerves went away and I never looked back on my decision to go with Safari! Amanda Evans was so sweet, attentive, and utterly fantastic. We did a BBQ buffet with an open beer and wine bar and it was delicious and affordable! I am soooo glad I went with Safari. Our ceremony and reception were gorgeous and went off without a single hitch! Amanda was a doll and I absolutely loved working with her. Her and my day of coordinator Annie with Mae Events made my wedding day one to remember for both guests and wedding party. Thank you so much Safari and Amanda!

I had my wedding ceremony at the Roman Gardens and the reception was at the Palm Pavilion. My catering manager/coordinator was Monica. We met in person about 2 weeks before the wedding to go over linens and room layout and I felt really good about everything we discussed. Now fast forward to the wedding day! I arrived that morning and the reception space was being set up. The room setup was mostly correct with the exception of the stage. I planned to have a low riser in lieu of a taller stage for my sweetheart table. I notified Monica that the stage needed to be taken down and she told me no worries it would get done. Three hours later, I noticed it still had not been fixed and I asked again. Another hour goes by, still not fixed. Monica proceeds to bring in a group of at least 8 people to tour and starts filling out paperwork on my fully decorated tables. I was very irritated by this, she should have made sure the room was 100% complete for my event taking place within a matter of hours instead of touring people. I ask again for the 3rd time and she acted completely oblivious and innocent. I expect way better than this when I paid THOUSANDS of dollars to have my wedding there. To make matters worse, she continued to tour another group of people through. At this point my 6 bridesmaids took apart the entire stage themselves. I am beyond thankful that my girls did this for me, but it is NOT okay by any means. All the while this is happening, approximately an hour before the ceremony we also discovered that the Safari staff had only setup 90 chairs at my ceremony when I needed 180 chairs AND there was no table for my altar or programs. When we found Monica to notify her, low and behold she was standing around with more potential customers instead of properly managing the setup. My last major complaint is the signs they have to direct guests. I specifically asked in my final meeting that my sign point to the ceremony, yet it pointed to the reception and all of my guests started arriving to the wrong location! I really wish Monica had done a better job following up with everything and making sure my event setup was taken care of. It seems she was more interested in potential customers instead of those who already paid. Despite all of this, I still had the best day of my life. Food was great, and the bartender was amazing. Would I do it all over again here? Absolutely not, I’m very disappointed and would not give Safari Texas another dime!

The ballroom and the Roman gardens were beautiful. The helper I had during the reception did an amazing job and was so understanding and helpful. My frustration came when the morning of the wedding I was told I could decorate at 930a. When I got there nothing was ready. No chairs or tables were out. I ended up late for my makeup appt because I spent so long arguing with a gentleman there which in turn pushed my entire day back. I then had to quickly round up some relatives to go set up my wedding and reception a few hours before it had began. Also, my signs were pointing the wrong direction so a few people weren't even able to find the wedding after I had specifically been told that staff would be available to direct my guests to the right place. My wedding day was amazing but definitely more stressful than it needed to be because of this venue.

This is the second event we have had at Safari Texas in the past year. I was wedding coordinator for both. Last November 2014 our daughter got married in the Rose Chapel and had a reception in The San Antonio Room. This October 2015, our son got married and had the reception all in The Palm Pavilion. We loved both events. The coordinator who helped us last year is no longer with Safari. Our coordinator for this year was Amanda Evans. Amanda was helpful and professional. We were to have an outdoor garden wedding with an indoor reception. Then Hurricane Patricia hit Mexico and sent tropical rains our way. We had a great plan B for the ceremony to be moved inside in case of inclement weather, so Amanda quickly facilitated all the changes. The day of the wedding she was on site and dealt with every little need we had. I was very grateful to her for her willingness and ability to jump in and 'get 'er done'. Food was plentiful and tasty. It was nice to have a full service facility handle all the linens, tables, chairs, set-up, break-down, clean-up, food, bar tender, alcohol/drinks, servers (I am sure I am leaving something out), etc. With so many different size and types of venues in one facility, there is bound to be one that would suit the needs of anyone. Safari is definitely worth a look.

We recently had our wedding at Safari, and I must say that they are undoubtedly the exception to the saying, \"you get what you pay for.\" We were so doubtful at first that we were reluctant to select Safari but ultimately decided on the venue because of budget. However, those doubts quickly vanished with each day we met with Safari. Throughout the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Safari did everything to accommodate our requests, and I can assure you we had quite a bit. \r\rWe booked the courtyard just outside the Chapel for our ceremony and held the reception in the Safari Lodge for 175 guests. Both were the perfect canvas for our florist and the team at Safari to bring our rustic wedding to life. The food served was impeccable -- in fact, my bride and I received a number of compliments on it, particularly the lamb chops and champagne chicken. The staff at Safari exceeded every expectation that we had from start to finish and I am embarrassed that we judged the quality based on the price tag. I highly recommend you book Safari before they realize what a steal they are.

Our experience with Safari was less than ideal. The girl that took us on our initial tour was so helpful and sweet. We booked this venue a few months later for 150 guests. We then learned that the first girl (who was supposed to be our wedding coordinator) had left the venue so we got passed onto someone else. Our new coordinator was not good. When we met her, she hardly talked to us. She stood around and just took us to whatever room we needed to go to. We talked to the owner (Allison) about this and he said he would take care of it. We noticed some improvement after that but she still was not very personable. \rAfter booking the venue, we met for our food tasting, linen choices, and floor planning. The food was very good; we were pleased. The linen choices were good as well; we chose white cotton tablecloths with a white lace overlay. Our floorplan meeting went well. Our coordinator wrote down everything exactly as we wanted it and offered suggestions as well. \r\rOn the day of my rehearsal, I went to walk through my reception space (The Palm Pavilion) to approve the set up of everything. IT WAS HORRIBLE. My mother in law and wedding coordinator (provided by me, not the venue) had been there for hours to set up decorations and everything was still a mess. There was an ANT infestation in two areas of the reception. None of the designated tables were in the spots we chose; they just set them up the way they usually set up that room. AT LEAST HALF of our white cotton tablecloths and white chair covers had STAINS on them. We told them which linens needed to be changed and it did not get done before my wedding. My ceremony location (the Roman Gardens) was also missing its designated tables. Those got placed after our rehearsal. We talked to several coordinators and the owner, Allison, who had been so kind and helpful before. Mr. Allison's response to all of it was \"Well that's just an opinion.\" SERIOUSLY!?? Stains are not an opinion. Not acceptable. \r\rOn the day of the wedding, while getting ready in the bridal suite, which is pretty spacious, the floor was DISGUSTING. I didn't want my dress to touch the floor but there wasn't a lot I could do about it. \rOur day-of coordinator (which is a different person than the one who helps you plan everything) was very nice and helped keep things going smoothly, but we didn't even see her until the reception had started. My friends and family were working so hard to try and correct the venue's mistakes that they didn't get to enjoy our wedding or complete the other small tasks that they were given. The only person that actually seemed to care about us and what we wanted was our day-of coordinator. She was great. It pretty much seemed like once they got our final payment, they didn't care about pleasing us anymore. We will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. The service they delivered wasn't worth NEARLY what we paid for it. \r\rWORST DECISION OF MY ENTIRE WEDDING.

They also were supposed to start serving at 5 but they didn't start until almost 6. The runner outside for my ceremony wasn't put on until 3 minutes before the wedding and the only reason why it was added was because my mother had to call them to add it. The chairs in the ceremony were supper dirty.\rThe lady who was helping me out also was not very helpful. I wouldn't recommend this place but for the price it was not that bad.

I'm a student getting married to another student. We wanted to have a fun wedding that was affordable. Safari is a little outside of Houston, but they were very accommodating, flexible with our unique needs (chemical reaction at the ceremony, dietary restrictions, outside food). Our catering manager Amanda was good at returning phone calls, e-mails and met us whenever we stopped by the ranch. A very good deal, well kept secret, very well experienced so I could handle and customize as little or as much as I wanted. Also located in Richmond where the sales tax is lower (which can be a significant savings). Property has many venues for weddings of all sizes, some older and some newer. Plenty of free parking for guests. very pleasant experience

Our coordinator was Joy Mercado who was so easy to work with and made the whole process incredibly enjoyable. We held our Indian wedding ceremony in the Magnolia Ballroom with lunch in the Austin Room. In the evening, we had our cocktail hour in the main lobby, the reception in the main Texas ballroom, and our American Ceremony in the Roman Gardens. Safari did a fabulous job for all the events, including the appetizers, desserts and cocktails they provided at the reception. For something different and unique, I would highly recommend Safari, especially if you're wanting an outside ceremony. The Roman Gardens are exquisite!!

After contacting all the vendors available, Amanda Evans at Safari was BY FAR the most helpful and responsive. She worked with our budget to create a custom package and was there every step of the way. The day of, she was there to help as soon as we could begin setting up at the museum. I didn't even need a wedding planner, she basically took care of everything from coordinating our entrance with the DJ, getting the wedding party lined up, bringing us food - the list goes on! \r \rAnd the staff did a fantastic job of making the museum event-ready. The place was absolutely GORGEOUS! I was being very particular about the shade of blue I was using for my wedding colors, and they had the exact shade of table linens and chair covers to match. \r\rPlus, the food was delicious and the staff was so friendly. They even cut, served, and preserved the cake. All of our guests raved about the delicious Italian dinner for days after the wedding.\r\rI really could not have asked for a better catering vendor, so I would recommend them to anyone. Especially if you can get Amanda - she was great!

The food was delicious!! Our coordinator could not be there the day of our wedding, so another coordinator stepped in and took care of everything. I highly recommend Safari Texas! Amazing!

We worked with Liz as our event coordinator and enjoyed every minute. Not only was Liz extremely responsive, but she answered every question we had leading up to our wedding. We held our ceremony in the Rose Chapel and were very pleased with the event. I only wish the dressing/\"getting ready\" rooms were updated or better furnished. Other than that, it was a really cozy ceremony. Our reception was in the Veranda Ballroom. Not only was the space beautiful, but the food we ordered through them was outstanding. We recommend the Chicken Parmesan - not only delicious but pretty to look at for serving. It was also VERY helpful that this venue had no price difference between the days of the event. Our wedding took place on a Saturday evening, and instead of charging more, it was the same price as any other night. For a budget-friendly and beautiful venue, I would recommend Safari Texas Ranch!

Overall, I was very happy with using Safari Texas. They were very easy to work with, affordable, flexible and friendly. There were a few minor problems the day of the wedding: toasting flutes and a couple other items I had dropped off the day before were temporarily \"lost\" at the front office. They were supposed to be set out with all the other wedding stuff and it took one of my very determined relatives to track down our items. My family had to do all the other decorating (centerpieces etc.) ourselves and that was one of the only things we left with them to do. The only other issue was that the wedding cake was cut up and served, but the groom's cake was only partially cut up and then it was left for people to serve themselves and it was a mess and a big waste of very expensive cake. Our planner was wonderful to work with, the facility was really nice and clean and everything looked just the way I wanted to it was just those few minor things that bothered me. All in all it was a great deal for what we paid ( about 40 pp with an open bar!)

I was able to email her with any questions i had throughout the year of planning and she was very quick to respond. The payment plan was so easy to follow and everything turned out beautiful...The food didnt look like what we had asked for but it was still very delicious so no need to really complain. We had no problems with them cutting our cake and the maragritas were delicious. They provide so much food throughout the reception with appetizers, salad & dinner that there is no reason to worry about your guest starving! The Gazebo was clean and beautiful at night with the lights on outside. I definately reccommend this place especially of your are on a budget!

On the day of everything was great only a few minor issues but were fixed before our wedding started. Be careful and watch the bartender and make sure if you paid gratuity that they don't have a tip jar. Be sure to bring a cheaper cake cutting service if you have a nice one so it doesn't get ruined. Very reasonable for the price we paid and was happy in the end

From day one I was agrevated and put off by the staff. The planner we got was incompetent and did not listen to anything we said. She gave us three different estimates that never once reflected what we asked for. The pricing was inconsistant with what we discussed and kept changing. By the end we were on our fourth planner, which actually turned out to be amazing. Her name is Daniel and she listened to everything we said. IF NOT FOR HER OUR RECEPTION WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT FOR THE WORST. My sister in law also had her reception here and went through five planners. On her big day the planner she received did not even know where the light switch was much even the crystal flutes and coaster or napkins were that were delivered by her the day before. In my honest opinion, this place would be perfect if they could hold on to good employees or find ones who really like their job.

I told Ashley and Danielle in our 2 week meeting that once the reception started, I wanted my friend to be a guest, not the coordinator. That didn't happen. Danielle never once asked my husband and I if we needed anything after dinner, she never came up to us, and we never could find her. A glass broke on the dance floor and a guest cleaned it up!!

Danielle never once asked my husband and I if we needed anything after dinner, she never came up to us, and we never could find her. A glass broke on the dance floor and a guest cleaned it up!! My friend is the one that came and got us when it was time for the next thing. \rAll in all, great place to get married, but don't waste your money on a coordinator!!!!

We looked at many different venues and we just kept coming back to Safari Texas in our minds. We booked the Safari Lodge for the reception and the adjoining deck and gazebo for the ceremony. Everything was wonderful!The only slight negatives I could point out would be that the bartender had a tip jar (I paid for tips in my contract and thought this was not allowed) and he was not exactly polite to some of the guests and even the groom. While there was a lovely room for the ladies to dress in and hang out in, there was no such place for the guys. Since they had recently remodeled and explanded this room, it would have been nice if they had included a man cave for the boys. Other than those tiny things, everything was lovely and worry free for us!

Excellent venue for receptions. They have several different size rooms to choose from. The coordinaters were great, they did everything. They made sure the day of the wedding that everything was perfect and ran smoothly!

Safari Texas Ranch was so accommodating. They threw in complimentary linens and another type beer for the groom, one of his favorites. The food was fabulous as well. I didn't have to worry about anything. They had most of everything set up the night before and continued setting up early the day of the wedding. The coordinator was wonderful and available throughout the evening. The only not so wonderful thing was the bartender assigned to our event, provided by Safari. Many of our guests stated they felt he was rude, including the groom. The only other thing was that it was somtimes difficult to get in touch with our coordinator in the last two weeks, mostly regarding receipt of payment. But overall, wonderful venue. We were not disappointed!

I was married last year at the Texas Safari Ranch and for they provided the best deal for what I was looking for. In the Sugar Land area we are very limited in terms of reception venues and I did not want to have my guest travelling too far between the church and the reception. \rThere were other country clubs and hotels in the area, but their menus were all above $65 per person with a full bar, which would have been too much. \rI was happy with the food and quality of service that I'd received. My coordinators were attentive and very easy to work with. \rIf I had one complaint it would be the upkeep and appearance of the facility. There are certainly areas that could use some repair, but overall it was a fantastic deal!

Don't let the name fool you, Safari is an elegent and sophisticated place to get married and to have your wedding reception. We married in the chapel on site and had our reception in the Palm Pavilion. I wouldn't change anything about the venue!

I really loved the outdoor feel of my wedding and the gazebo at Safari was perfect for us. We used the Veranda room and gazebo it fit the size we were looking for and it was beautiful. The food at Safari is amazing and the wait staff was so nice and the day went off without a hitch I was very pleased. The only down side to the place is the front is not kept up too well, it is a bit of an eye sore when pulling in and the signs they use to greet the guests are a bit underwhelming, small 8x10 typed computer paper with an arrow. It could be more presentable. Once you drive to your location it is nice. It would be great if they could clean up the front and have a more manicured landscape and better curb appeal.
