Welcome to The Marquardt Ranch! The Marquardt Ranch has been in Dru’s family since the late 1800’s. Many people have spent summers here playing in the river and camping and celebrating family. Dru was traveling a lot for work and wanted something to bring him back to his roots. One early morning he had the idea of a community center of some sort on the ranch and began clearing trees on the bluff. The idea transformed into a wedding venue. And so he began. He designed the building and gathered a crew and built The Marquardt Ranch. The first wedding was in 2007 and Jessica and Dru got married in 2010 (at The Marquardt of course!). Jessica was transitioning in her job and began working at The Marquardt Ranch and slowly began taking the reins. Jessica has a natural spark for being creative and floral design fit right into that. The Marquardt Ranch has evolved a lot in the last 17 years and we have hopes that it will continue to grow and flourish. Jessica and Dru have 3 kids (Gage (12), Gatlin (9) and Andi Grace (7). Dru works in renewable energy and Jessica runs the venue full time.
Our hope is that you will see how special The Marquardt Ranch is and how much it means to us to continue to have couples share in that.
