the camino experience
What can you expect from a Camino wedding?
For starters we are an owner-operated and women-led venue which means you are not working with a corporate wedding mill. You are working with an owner that has invested so much into making Camino the perfect setting for your day. You can expect a personal experience with prompt (almost lightening fast!) responses to your wedding planning questions and a truly one-of-a kind backdrop for your dream wedding.
Camino operates under the philosophy that all are welcome here! We do not discriminate and welcome all couples to our place of business.
Our mission is to curate memorable experiences from start to finish by going above and beyond for our clients, guests, and vendors, and being helpful and friendly to everyone.
Now, let’s get this party started!
The Camino History
Established in 2019, Camino Real Ranch is rich in farm history. Camino’s farmhouse, cabin, and barn date back to the 1940s when the property was a pig farm.
The farm fell into the hands of the lovely former owners turned close Camino friends, Mike and Vanessa Torres. They established Heart of Gold Farm and purchased our gorgeous greenhouse from a rose farm in Smithville. They began growing organic produce supporting food banks in the local central Texas area. They gave the property its charm, building the Quonset Hut and outfitting the farm with authentic tipis from Oregon.
A property tax record search led the now Camino Real Ranch owners to the former Heart of Gold owners and the rest is history. Serendipitously, Mike and Vanessa are industry pros! The universe truly has a way of bringing people into your path at the moment they are needed the most. Camino Real Ranch would not have been possible without the support of our former owners advice, support, and encouragement along the way.
