About Deer Creek Valley Ranch

Deer Creek Valley Ranch, originally homesteaded in 1862, has a rich history as a stagecoach stop and working cattle ranch. You’ll have to check out the website for full details, it’s pretty fascinating! But, to sum it up, the property was revitalized in 2003 by Tim and Christian Marasciullo, who transformed it into a stunning wedding venue. The venue now features two different locations for weddings: The Barn Venue and the Homestead Venue. The Homestead location also accommodates up to 20 guests to stay over night!
