501 Ranch

Set where the rolling hills meet the Nueces River, 501 Ranch is a 9,000-acre South Texas ranch near Uvalde offering a distinctive setting for weddings and events. The sprawling property pairs rural charm with modern facilities designed for rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, family gatherings, anniversary parties, and celebrations of every kind. Two event centers anchor the property. The Lodge is an indoor-and-outdoor venue with a banquet hall, patio, back yard, bridal suite, and chapel, accommodating up to 250 guests. The open-air Pavilion seats as many as 500 and is a favorite for larger weddings, corporate picnics, and group gatherings. Both include tables and chairs, on-site management, rehearsal time, and photo-shoot access. Beyond the venues, the ranch invites wedding parties and guests to stay and make a weekend of it, with on-site lodging that ranges from a bridal suite and cottages to a vintage Spartan trailer overlooking the river, plus activities such as a bowling alley and a carousel to make each event its own.
