There is no wedding venue in the greater Houston area quite like Safari Texas Ranch — and the moment you set eyes on those sweeping 44 acres of rolling Texas countryside, you will understand exactly why couples come from across Houston, Sugar Land, and beyond to celebrate their most important days here.
Set on a breathtaking private 44-acre estate in Richmond, Texas just five minutes from Sugar Land, Safari Texas Ranch offers something that no city ballroom, no urban event centre, and no traditional wedding venue can replicate — the extraordinary, awe-inspiring beauty of wide-open Texas countryside as the living, natural backdrop to your celebration. Rolling greens that stretch as far as the eye can see, fresh open air that fills the estate with a sense of space and freedom, and a natural setting of such effortless, genuine beauty that your guests will feel it the moment they arrive and carry it with them long after the celebration ends.
And within that magnificent estate, eight exceptional ballrooms await — each one more extravagant, more distinctively designed, and more breathtakingly beautiful than the last. From one-of-a-kind light fixtures that fill every space with warmth and drama, to spacious open floors designed for grand celebrations of every scale, to captivating interior designs that give each ballroom its own unique personality and atmosphere — Safari Texas Ranch's event spaces offer a range and versatility that is simply unmatched anywhere in the Houston area. Whether your wedding vision is classic and timeless, country chic and warmly rustic, grand and maximalist, or somewhere beautifully in between — there is a space at Safari Texas Ranch that feels as though it was designed specifically for you.
With a combined capacity ranging from intimate gatherings of 50 guests all the way to grand, large-scale receptions of 1,000, Safari Texas Ranch is equally at home hosting a quiet, beautifully intimate ceremony as it is a sprawling, multi-function South Asian wedding weekend that fills multiple ballrooms with hundreds of family members, friends, and guests who have travelled from near and far to celebrate alongside you.

My first visit to Texas as I attended an anniversary celebration for friends at this establishment. The service from the staff was commendable, especially my visit(s) to the in house bar! The food was good, the layout spacious and clean, and more than adequate parking. This was a good visit, and I will definitely recommend this spot.

Great place for events. Went for a Reading between the Wines event. Heard Marcus Lutrell speak. This event had about 600 people plus and there seemed to be other events in other buildings. Plenty of parking. Easy to get in and out. Google actually messed up and sent us north on 1464 for some reason.

Beautiful place to do photos, many ballrooms for party's and best of all peacock's roaming freely on the grounds absolutely beautiful.
I booked my wedding with them and could not have been happier. The food was spectacular & the response from my guests were nothing but positive. The staff was helpful with the tear down which was a blessing itself.
I was there for my friend's engagement. The place was really big and the function hall is very spacious. But better you order food from outside. Their rules and the way they serve is really bad. I heard that it's unlimited but in the end, there is no food for some of my friends.
Hetal was incredible to work with for our wedding weekend! She was organized, calm, and so helpful throughout the entire process. Everything ran smoothly because of her, and we’re so grateful for all her support. Highly recommend her to any couple!
My Baby Cousin Asia Kai first Birthday Party was here and we had a blast as you can see. I highly recommend this place.

Working with Hetal at Safari Ranch was a great experience. I was hired to do balloons for a client and Hetal was easy to communicate with from the start and made the planning process smooth for both the client and I. On the day of the event, she arrived early and was ready to help with any setup help I needed. Thank you!!!
Wild ass place. The Infinity Hall was an awesome place for the wedding we attended!

It's a pretty and peaceful place where you can have an event without worrying much, they have security and staffs around to assist.
Lots of parking, large property several venues to choose from, and lots 🦚 Peacocks all over the property walking around. …
Very well decorated both days we attended. A good place for the wedding.
My wife and I recently had our wedding reception here at the Infinity ballroom and it was a splendid experience - the catering was great, Chloe (our point person) was easy and wonderful to work with, and our guests loved the venue! Can't recommend enough for receptions!
Careful for the peacocks that roams around. Very safe place to do your event here. Lots of room to work with.
I don't know how the service could have been better at my daughters wedding reception. The food was great and they had everything beautifully prepared for us. They were responsive to our requests and extremely accomodating. Chloe was super helpful and understanding. Absolutely worth every penny.
Great place for wedding reception.
Beautiful wedding venue, absolutely gorgeous and classy, the food was average but everything else is great
I recently took a tour of the wedding venues at this property and was impressed with the overall aesthetic. The venues looked beautiful, and we enjoyed walking around the property. However, it was unfortunate that we received faulty …
Great venue, very organized, great staff. Food is terrible. Whoever the chef is he or she is trying to cook foods from all over the world and they are not able to do it. We had our wedding event here and have gone to many others, the food is a topic of conversation every time and not because we are praising it.
The space is nice. Love the chandeliers. The valet staff were very attentive and nice. The weather was horrible and the valet staff worked as quickly as possible to get us safely in our vehicles.
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! …
Safari Texas Ranch is like a solace out of Houston with scenery that resemble Ranch life. The place is very spacious with good views, lighting and security, very reserved and relaxing. Love the place!!
Great venue! Very nice on the outside and spacious ballrooms inside.
Interesting ve ue; I attended a wedding reception at the Lodge, a nice facility, with a patio area overlooking a pond and grazing zebras! The food was okay, though we'll seasoned, my steak was done more than I liked, but the salmon was excellent. There's a nice sized dance floor.
We had our wedding reception at the Texas ballroom in Safari Texas. Everything was good expect the service. It was not up to the par. One feedback we like to provide is that the dinner service was horrible. Many guests mentioned they did …
The food was brought in... chicken (dry) brisket (it was ok) the slaw and potatoe salad was good. The desert was bland. But what do you get for free. Thanks for letting us see the zebras.
We got married here last month. From the time we toured the place until when we did aftercare, I can't believe how beautiful and awesome our experience was. We moved our date 3x due to covid and everyone was so understanding. The whole …
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 …
Sohini was so easy to work with. She is very thorough and timely. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding reception. The venue looked beautiful and the food was delicious!! I received many compliments from my guests. Also a very affordable venue for what you are getting!!
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 …
I volunteered here for Katy Christian Ministries fundraiser event. The main building is absolutely gorgeous. As soon as you open the main door you are greeted with a stunning grand staircase. I wasn't able to visit the multiple areas onside but I bet they won't disappoint!
Amazing, beautiful venue for wedding! Shoutout to Cassidy, my friend’s venue coordinator, for being so attentive and welcoming throughout the whole night. She made sure the bride and the bridesmaids were taken care of. Thanks again for making my friend’s wedding a memorable night!
Nice place, great ambiance. Recommend this place for your special events.
My wife and I had a traditional Indian wedding in the Texas Ballroom. The ballroom was very spacious. Sohini and Chloe were very easy to work with. Our guests loved the food! Desserts and chai/coffee stations were also a big hit! All in all, a great venue for our special day.
This was our first MD Anderson Holiday Gala post COVID and we were extremely happy and satisfied with Safari Texas Ranch. The owner was absolutely accommodating, very personable and genuinely kind to meet your needs as a customer. Our …
Safari is a great affordable venue for weddings. Really big hall that can accommodate up to 800 people. The food and alcohol options are very affordable. Sohini was our catering manager, and she accommodated all our needs and made …
Really lovely venue. We went for a wedding and it was amazing! Lots of scenic views and wild peakcocks walking about the place. It gives it a special feeling and the hiring halls have its own character! I would highly recommend this place if you're looking to have a party fiction or wedding!
Safari Texas Ranch are magicians with food - maybe not in the way you'd hope. For us, they made $1000 worth of food that we "absolutely had to have" disappear without even a poof! So magical. …
Great Venue!! We had a reception for a wedding here and everything was absolutely amazing, …
The peacocks everywhere are awesome! The food was amazing and the decor inside was pretty. The staff was helpful. The main issue was the bathrooms were nasty. The toilets didn't flush well and there was residue on the walls.
Holding our wedding at Safari really took the stress out of planning these things! Anusha the catering manager was absolutely instrumental in making sure everything went smoothly on the day of the event. Lubna was our day of coordinator and …
We had a great time working with Safari! Monica was our point of contact and she was awesome! Safari was very easy to work with and accommodated all our requests. We had our reception at the Infinity Ballroom and it was beautiful. The …
We have been to this venue many times before as guests on weddings. We hosted our anniversary party there a week ago, and could not have picked a better place! Everything went so smoothly that I did not have to stress for a minute. Jessica …
Ver good, well organized banquets and parking spaces.
What can you say? There is a large room filled with tables. It is clean with comfortable temperature. I have never worked with the owner to schedule an event, but the price must be right since practically every fundraiser in our area is held here.
My mother in law celebrated her 60th birthday at Safari Texas and it was not a good experience. The staff coordinator who was assigned to her party was hard to find for most of the event. We had several questions for her and when we …
I had my wedding at another location catered by Safari Texas and everything went smoothly. They communicated well before the event, were accommodating to changes we needed to make, the food tasted good, drinks were quick and varied. Would recommend to anyone hosting a similar event.
Beth, What else can I say? WOW! Well done, thank you a thousand times over...all of …
We were hosting our graduation party here. The place is beautiful. The staff at Texas Safari is excellent and very supportive. The food was excellent, table set up and arrangements beyond comparison. All of our guests were extremely happy …
If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue that is not hours away from Houston look no further. Safari Texas has amazing venue space, professional staff and amazing service. Alyssa ( our event coordinator) went above and beyond to …
Alyssa initially was nice, Until all monies were collected. She left my party without communicating that to me. She seemed more concerned about getting more money than ensuring that my guests needs were met. Alyssa was not attentive to my …
Sept.2021 Update.... The company took no fault or responsibility. Disappointed in the lack of customer support and simple ethics! (Original review below) …
We had my daughters engagement party at Texas Safari Ranch on July 26, 2019. Great atmosphere, great service, amazing food. We had the best time ever. The place is very spacious with a huge dancing floor. Will consider having my daughters …
Came here for the GOP Convention today. What a gem of an event facility. You could be at a wedding outside with a camel and never even know we were here across the driveway in the chapel building conducting our meeting. I love the diversity …
Myself and my family went to an 80th birthday party/ family reunion. Parking was good and the event hall was nice and spacious.
I visited this place for a wedding reception. Due to the Covid season, there weren't a lot of guests and so it wasn't as busy. The wait staff were very attentive. There seem to be plenty of parking spots outside. I did have a small issue …
