Tequila Ranch is a rustic wedding and event venue located in rural Taylor, Texas—just a 30 minute drive from Austin. It is the passion project of owners Joe and Stormy Krippelz, who painstakingly hand selected the reclaimed materials and spent countless hours creating the venue space, ceremony space and more. Tequila Ranch has a capacity of 150 seated guests, but can accommodate more if outdoor tents are utilized. We also have onsite lodging available, as well as event coordinating services.
Your party is their passion!
Joe is the visionary who transformed Tequila Ranch from a simple barn into a breathtaking event venue. Fueled by his love of building and the dream of creating a space where people could celebrate, he poured countless hours into every detail. Known for his creativity, dedication, and warm personality, Joe shaped the signature look and feel of the ranch.
Stormy gets. it. done. She thrives behind the scenes—coordinating event details, lending a hand to brides and guests, or even rolling up her sleeves to whitewash rustic wood panels. Fun-loving yet fiercely dependable, she’s the kind of teammate who makes everything run smoothly. Whether handling admin or last-minute tasks, Stormy ensures the ranch sparkles.
Elissa’s journey with Tequila Ranch is personal—she and her husband were the first couple to marry here. Planning her own wedding revealed her natural gift for organization and creativity, making her role especially meaningful. With a heartfelt connection to the venue, she brings brides unique insight and care throughout their planning process.
We had the absolute honor of hosting our wedding at Tequila Ranch. Joe and Stormy were fabulous to work with and Elissa was a dream. Our wedding could not have been as enjoyable and carefree without them.
My husband and I got married last Saturday and the reception could not have gone better. This ranch is a beautiful venue with rustic features and the most amazing sunsets. Everyone who attended absolutely loved the venue.
We definitely gained more than just an amazing venue we gained a friendship.... If you are looking for an affordable place for your budget definitely recommend Tequila Ranch and the bonus is that it is a gorgeous venue with a professional staff who will seem more like family than staff at a venue.
Our wedding at Tequila Ranch events was truly the most amazing night of mine and Nadia’s lives! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect... If you’re looking for a venue that feels personal, magical, and full of heart — Tequila Ranch events is it. We are forever grateful! 💙
Tequila Ranch venue is perfect & everything I’ve dreamed of! My husband and I were so calm and stress free on our wedding day and that’s because we had Joe, Stormy & Elissa! They make your special day go so smoothly and they always have a smile on their face.
