Crescent Moon Ramada is praised as a beautiful wedding venue with stunning views and helpful park rangers, making for an intimate and enjoyable ceremony. However, there were some parking confusion and issues with the on-site restroom being out of commission, which could be improved with better communication and planning. Overall, guests appreciated the cleanliness and amenities, recommending it for special events.

Beautiful wedding venue & great wedding day but 2 major issues. #1: parking for wedding ceremony and ramada rental was very confusing. We paid $120 for extra parking spots in general parking onsite but 2 guests were still turned away by front gate and the other offsite lots were full due to local events because cell reception did not allow them to call or text to us & front gate didnt notify us. Create a plan to shuttle guests or car pool is a must to avoid guests getting turned away. The front gate did not notify us that 2 guests needed a ride from offsite parking... wedding party would have picked them up. #2 issue: Ramada wedding site bathroom did not work it was out of commission. We had to use general park bathrooms a walk away even tho wedding bathroom is part of ramada & ceremony reservation we paid. Just be prepared with parking plan B and clear written list of guests for front gate to admit for wedding party is my suggestion. Physical passes or a list of guests would be a great idea for park but it was a bit of chaos day of.

Large covered ramada with picnic tables and grills. Restroom nearby was clean and reserved for our guests. Short walk to the water. Perfect!

The Ramada has a private parking lot which was great. At the gate, they gave out tickets for each of the 10 cars so they could keep track of how many were entering. We didn’t know we had to be out by 6, but they allowed us as a courtesy to be out at 7 when the park closes. That wasn’t clear as we thought we had it for 24 hours, but it still worked out great. The views were beautiful and the bathrooms were by the private parking lot.

We got married here! All rangers were so kind and helpful and made sure our guests knew where to go. We were also undisturbed the whole time during our ceremony and after so it felt so intimate! Couldn’t recommend this place more, it’s beautiful!

Absolutely love this place! We go here every year for my daughters birthday. She enjoys the outdoor experience and loves the water.
This place is definitely more busy now than when we first started visiting about 13 years ago. I can't blame anyone for wanting to visit this place as it has amazing views!
The place is always clean and the park Rangers are very sweet and helpful.

Amazing place. Only suggestion I have is if you offer it as a wedding venue you should allow moderate volume Music. I understand people need to be respectful to the other park patrons however having no procession song or any sort of music really disqualifies this as a wedding venue. If you don't want to allow music you should also put that on the website and make it clear to people booking the site
