A priority for SCR, as the venue, is how do we provide our couples tools and resources at the very beginning that cut down on stress, unnecessary comparisons, confusion, and cost?

SCR’s built-in planning tools and resources give our couples peace of mind and save countless hours of wasted time. You don’t know what you don’t know! And you are certainly not expected to know the ins and outs of the wedding world. You’ll read in our reviews over and over how helpful we were to our couples in ways they never imagined! Making your wedding planning as stress-free as possible is our goal.

One of those public tools (you can see it anytime booked at SCR or not!) is our trusted Recommended Vendor list.

Choosing these vendors saves you time and worry! How?

Booking recommended vendors equates to avoiding countless emails about venue rules, specifics, in and out times, and on and on.
Recommended vendors know how to bring their very best at SCR specifically! They work differently at every venue and working here time and again they have perfected what works best for their teams and strengths!
They know how to adapt! Recommended vendors can adapt at SCR when a curveball comes their way because they know all the options. All the spaces, outlets, back roads, and ways to save the day! A vendor who has never been here before isn’t going to have that superpower.

That aside, I thought I'd spend a bit of time telling you a little more about our Recommended Vendor list and the people behind it.

But first, we wanted to share this incredible note we got from Pro Sound DJs about what Sparrow Creek has meant to their family and small business:

Kevin and Kalli,
This is a unique opportunity for Pro Sound DJ to be able to share our experience at Sparrow Creek Ranch and what it has meant to us from the business side of things as well as the impact it has had in our personal lives.
Sparrow Creek Ranch from the beginning, the first time we ever came out to DJ we could tell it was different from the other places we had been to and different in a good way. We soon realized after a few visits that it was the cliental that SCR was bringing in. it was a much more relaxed atmosphere which make for a way better experience for everyone. We travel around to a lot of venues all over Texas but we kind of call SCR “our home venue” because it’s the place we love to be at the most. Then things got even better as time went on because we had the opportunity to meet the people who own and operate the venue. It was then that we realized how special Sparrow Creek Ranch is, and we realized why everyone loved the place, they loved the relaxed atmosphere and the genuine people who own and operate the place. This relaxed feeling gave us the freedom to try new things which really went over very well so it completely changed the way Pro Sound operates during a typical wedding reception.
For the personal side of our life Sparrow Creek Ranch has touched the lives of many people that are connected to Pro Sound DJ. We talk very highly of SCR in our personal lives, when we are asked by family and friends about DJing and all the things that we have done Sparrow Creek always comes up because of the great people that we have met over the years out there and the unforgettable nights we have spent trying to give the Bride and Groom the best day of their life. The business itself has given our entire family some freedoms they normally would not have, and it has allowed Pro Sound DJ to help others in need, we try to give and help as much as we can to the people around us. I will finish with this, Kevin and Kalli you both feel like family to us, when we are out there talking with you guys it doesn’t feel like a business relationship it feels more like we are talking with family and we seem to have connected in a very special way, we hope that never changes and we thank you for letting us be a part of this journey that we are all taking together Sparrow Creek changed your lives I am sure and I know it has changed ours we are all blessed to be a part of Sparrow Creek Ranch. - 2022

First, our list represents a community, more so, than a stagnant group of people we work with here and there.

It's made up of people who are professionals who we put our trust in and that are a community of support for everyone involved in a wedding day. That support goes to our couples, the other vendors, and so many more connections tied to a wedding day.

If you don’t think that a DJ benefits from knowing the florist, planner, and caterer you’re mistaken. If you have considered what a huge asset it is for the photographer to intimately know the know venue manager, you are sadly underestimating that value.

Countless times a Recommended Vendor at SCR has been able to step up and save the day because they know us, SCR, the other vendors here regularly, etc.

How did our recommended vendor list start?

When Kalli got married at SCR there were very few “wedding vendors” in Graham, TX. Since then we have cultivated a group of local businesses and individuals who provide excellent wedding-specific services on a scale they and we never dreamed! We recently saw one of our favorite planners, Kendra Duke Designs in Abilene, post a reel saying how amazing the vendors are in Graham. We are so proud to be part of that history in the making! Joys Flowers for instance used to do a handful of weddings a year; now they do several a month at SCR! Krissy with Krazy Cakes went from a hobby to now providing wedding cakes across the region weekly in part from our recommendation and continual support. The same goes for Does Leons who is one of our favorite caterers who never disappoint our couples!

Once we had a vendor receive FIVE, 5-STAR reviews from SCR weddings they were added to our list! That was the high standard for the first seven years. Now that we’ve been doing this for nearly 10 years we can tell a little quicker if a vendor is going to be a great fit for SCR couples. But the standard is still high! Most of our recommended vendors do have at least five, 5-star reviews from SCR couples but a few were added after their third if we could tell they were going to be a great asset to our couples.

💕Working with this amazing community of people who love on our couples is a sure way to start your wedding planning process with peace and savings in more ways than one. 💕

Wedding planning in Graham, TX, and the PK Lake area sure has come a long way in the last 10 years and we are proud to be a part of that community and small business growth. We hope you will take joy and pride in investing in our little town and people when you book local, small businesses for your wedding day at The Barn at Sparrow Creek Ranch!

Here are a few favorites just for fun!
