Love Notes
We just recently had our wedding at River Bend in September 2024 and I can't think of a more dreamy place to marry the love of your life. I went to college at the Fort and my husband grew up in Durango, but majority of our guests had never been to Durango, so we thought River Bend Ranch would be the perfect place to show off how truly stunning Durango is, and it did not disappoint! Our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was and it is such a gorgeous background for photos! Not only is it beautiful but Dan and his team take such great care of the property and are so great to work with, and I feel so honored to have been able to have our wedding at River Bend. We also rented out the cabin for the night before and of our wedding and would recommend that to anyone getting married there! Its a beautiful cabin and waking up there is such a great way to start your wedding day!
