Rusty Spurs Ranch

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.

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..

I was married at Dodasa in May 2019 and picking Dodasa was THE BEST decision. We had a weekend long event with 55 people on the property and a total wedding guest count of 130. On Friday, the excitement while everyone was arriving was soooo much fun. Everyone was finding their cabin and hanging out on their porches and talking to their neighbors. Some of our guests didn’t understand the concept of the shared cabins, but once they got there they loved it!! Dawn had decorated the pavilion with a bohemian theme and it was adorable. All my girlfriends commented on how cute it was and couldn’t believe that this was just the rehearsal dinner décor!! The food was also amazing. We had margaritas, a fajita bar and a churo donut desert. Saturday morning folks walked up to Miss Kitties for breakfast. After that the girls headed to the bridal suite for a day of hair and makeup. The bridal suite is furnished super cute, was large enough for the 12 gals I had in there they brought us champagne and food throughout the day. All the other guests on the ranch went trap shooting, played lawn games, fished and used the paddle boats. We also used the cottage for the groomsmen getting ready area. For the ceremony, they opened the doors to the beautiful blue gate. The DJ they used (James) and the officiant (Ed) were both wonderful throughout the ceremony. Dawn and her team had decorated the ceremony area beautifully with flower arrangements on barrels, the tree wrapped in white lace, dream catchers hanging from the tree and the best part… CRACKERJACK, their donkey, wearing a flower crown to great the guests. Then it was time for the cocktail hour, wedding party entrance and dinner. The pavilion was decorated exactly as Dawn described it would be and even better! I was really impressed with how many flowers they used on the table arrangements as well as the lovely fireplace décor, table settings, and sweetheart table. The pavilion seated our 130 guests perfectly and left a good amount of room for a dance floor. We did a sparkler exit to the last song at 10 o’clock and it was the perfect climax to the event. The non-ranch guests headed out while everyone else enjoyed a late night snack and smores. Sunday, EVERYONE came back together for one last delicious brunch cooked up by Don, and accompanied by mimosas and bloody marys! On Sunday, I also had the pleasure of hearing what an amazing time everyone had. Many of our guests are used to attending weddings at wineries, nice hotels, exotic locations, etc. I can honestly tell you that since my wedding, nearly every single one of my guests has told me something along the lines of ‘it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to’ or ‘it was the most FUN I’ve ever had at a wedding.’ Dawn, Don and Sarah….. I cannot thank them enough for creating this amazing location and for planning and executing the wedding of our dreams!!!! You three are the BEST. They are also the nicest, warmest and most generous family!! Everything they did was personal and special and perfect. If you’re considering getting married at Dodasa… do it. And then don’t worry about a thing! I know it’s easy for me to say that in hindsight, but I can’t imagine a bride much picker than I was. I documented everything I hoped and wished for and talked through it all in advance with Dawn in multiple planning meetings and then she took care of EVERYTHING. It was all 100% stress free to me.

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!
