Centrally Located in the Heart of Texas

Welcome to Blue Hills Ranch, located in the heart of central Texas, just 20 miles outside of Waco. Blue Hills Ranch was named after the 150 acres of beautiful rolling hills covered in bluebonnets that bloom a beautiful blue each Spring. We're also home to natural ponds, lakes and free-roaming wildlife. With amazing views as far as the eye can see, majestic hills and sunsets that will leave you in awe, your guests will be talking about your special day for years to come.

Our 6184 sq. ft. wooden climate-controlled barn has been beautifully customized for optimal photography, making sure that capturing every magical moment of your wedding is effortless. The barn is complete with covered porches and is climate-controlled to ensure that your guests will be comfortable throughout the entire day, no matter the weather.

We are not your basic wedding & event venue - we aim to make your day as special as you can imagine.
