This place is connected to the Loft Orpheum Theatre in Buena Vista, so you can choose to have your wedding ceremony here in one of 2 outdoor spaces and then have the reception eith...
er here or at the theatre (I recommend the theatre, myself, it's gorgeous, but this place's reception areas also have charm).
For the ceremonies, there are two sites. One is past all the cabins (this is a working bed and breakfast-type location with LOTS of cabins) and higher on a hill, meaning that if you have guests staying at the cabins then it is literally a hop skip and jump. They are very willing to work with you on booking the cabins for the guests, so a wild west wedding is super easy here.
The other site is a bit further away but the backdrop is even more amazing (did I mention mountain views? And CHALK mountains, too, so they're a gorgeous white). It's in a meadow inside the national forest and only this ranch has access, so it's private and yet magically within 30 minutes of Buena Vista, which is a small town with basically all you could ever need, including lodging if your guests don't want the cabin route (but why wouldn't they?). Honestly, I recommend the meadow. It's another 10 minutes into the winding roads, but the ranch offers a ferrying service.
If you have your reception here, there are two indoor spaces. Neither are very large, though you could fit a small 100-person wedding in either. They are set among the cabins (one even is connected to some of the cabin rooms), so guests can literally walk to the reception and walk back. Both places look very "rustic," a mix of old west and classic charm. There's antlers on walls and a HUGE fireplace. Aside from them, the ranch also offers a pool, cafe, axe throwing, game room, and more amenities so it's impossible for guests to become bored.
Speaking of service, they're very accommodating. They will get you to the proper site even if they have to use their own cars! They can improvise when things go wrong (including, I was told, one outdoor winter ceremony which was almost snowed out--thankfully, that did not happen to me). Everyone is flexible and friendly--and the wedding coordinator is super attentive and really knows her stuff. You don't feel like just a "job" to her or them, even as they treat you like a queen. I really recommend this place for those who want the mountain vista wedding photo--it's like nature herself is dressed in white to honor your big day!
