El Cerrito Lodge

El Cerrito Lodge is a family-run venue on the Walking 18 Ranch in Diana, Texas, offering indoor and outdoor settings for weddings, celebrations and business events. Its spaces can host wedding ceremonies and receptions, birthday parties, showers, anniversaries, reunions, corporate gatherings, seminars and live music events.

The venue includes a chapel with glass doors and views across the ranch, alongside a temperature-controlled main event room, a cantina with a private porch and outdoor function areas. The main room can accommodate large gatherings, while the chapel provides a dedicated setting for ceremonies and smaller events. Patios, a covered outdoor bar, fireplaces and open ranch scenery give organisers options for welcoming guests, dining or dancing outside. Indoor facilities provide an alternative in poor weather.

Tables and chairs are included, and the venue has a commercial catering kitchen. Organisers may choose their own reputable caterers or use preferred vendors. Bridal and groom suites are available, along with Wi-Fi, accessible facilities and parking. The property also offers weekend wedding packages, giving couples time for a rehearsal dinner and other parts of their celebration, and hosts only one wedding or event per weekend.

Event planners can arrange a tour to see the rooms and grounds, discuss the event format and review availability. The venue works with organisers on packages suited to their occasion, budget and style. Its mix of ranch surroundings, flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, and practical event amenities makes it suitable for both personal celebrations and gatherings organised by businesses or community groups.
