Molly’s review: “The perfect wedding experience!”

"La Joya Dulce provided the perfect wedding experience! From our tour to the wedding, we were blessed to work with such amazing people. The planning process was stress free and simplified thanks to Kathie and Mandy. Both Kathie and Mandy helped provide ideas and suggestions that captured our vision of the perfect day. No matter how small the question or concern, they were there to help along the way! We left our wedding feeling like we have gained a friendship with the staff! The venue is immaculate! The beauty of the location speaks for itself, but the facilities are the same way! … We saved so much time and money with all La Joya Dulce has to offer. We truly cannot say enough positive things about La Joya Dulce! We absolutely recommend the ranch to anyone! Our experience was unforgettable and we know yours will be too!"

Jessica’s review: “Our wedding day was just an absolute dream.”

"I held our wedding reception at La Joya Dulce 10/6/2018, and I didn’t even want to wait until after our honeymoon to tell all the future Mrs. out there how incredible it was to celebrate our wedding at LJD! First of all, just look at the pictures. It’s absolutely stunning, all year round. … There are so many great, beautiful venues out there, but I honestly don’t know that any of them could top the level of dedication Kathie and Mandy give to their brides. They were by my side from our very first email, and I can say I never even waited more than 12 hours to hear back from them when I had a question, or concern, or just plain bride- anxiety. … Mandy exceeds every definition of a “day-of coordinator”- she is professional, reliable, and was an integral part of keeping things moving smoothly when the weather changed its mind the week of our wedding. … Our wedding day was just an absolute dream."

Ann’s review: “The best wedding they have ever been to.”

"We were beyond impressed with our wedding at La Joya Dulce and experience working with Kathie and Mandy. … The property is absolutely amazing, beautiful and unique. It could accommodate many different styles but particularly went well with my bohemian wedding. The view from the ceremony site is breathtaking, the barn is gorgeous, the bridal suite is amazing and the horses are a huge plus! … Kathie truly goes above and beyond for her guests. They provide an inventory of decorations that can be used, recommendations on vendors as needed, and answered any and all questions that arose during the planning process. … I would highly recommend hiring Mandy, the day of planner who also lives on the ranch. She was an absolute dream to work with. There was never a second that I did not feel comfortable with her running the show for us and I knew that she would make sure that everything was perfect- and it was! Our wedding was our dream wedding and I wouldn't change a thing about that day. We had many guests say that it was "the best wedding they have ever been to". I would have to agree! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn/ranch wedding. Thank you again, Mandy, Kathie and Wayne!"
