The Condor's Nest Ranch

Wedding Packages

*prices subject to change until confirmed/booked/deposit received. {Any Parties are the same price as Weddings}

We are proud to be a Member of

the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC)

We want to add that we have made these packages as complete and reasonable as we can! On occasion we reevaluate and determine if we need to adjust our prices to keep up with our costs. Prices are subject to change until booked. We have the belief that you should not be rushed or overcharged!

(We think 1 Wedding or Event per weekend is more than enough! ....now 2 or 3 or even 4 per day is ridiculous!)

We can't promise dates until the contract is out!

We want to be part of your wonderful memories!
