Dream Venue!

Flying Caballos was such an incredible venue for our wedding weekend. Having the houses onsite made it so convenient for friends and family to stay at the venue, and they served as the perfect place to get ready on wedding morning. We hosted rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks on the lawn on Friday night, and then our full wedding on Saturday split between the upper lawn and barn, and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue is. When we had concerns about some of the lighting on the lawn, the venue manager Sarah was wonderful and took care of it immediately. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone, it was perfect!

Magical Venue!

We were lucky enough to rent the entire property for four days with our families for our wedding, and honestly, it was nothing short of magical. Between all the beautiful houses and the gorgeous barn, the venue blew us away. It was exactly what we dreamed of — a perfect place to celebrate, relax, and make unforgettable memories with everyone we love.
Sarah deserves a special shoutout, from the moment we booked in March 2024 all the way to our wedding day in May 2025, she was an absolute dream to work with. So organized, kind, and always quick to respond, Sarah made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. We felt truly supported every step of the way.
We absolutely loved everything about the venue and can’t wait to come back with our families every year to relive the magic of this incredible place! If you get the chance to book it, don’t think twice — it’s truly unforgettable!

Perfect wedding weekend

Flying Caballos Ranch was one of our top choices for our wedding venue given its location, outdoor beauty, and beautiful landscape. Property/event manager Sarah was responsive, easy to work with, and very accommodating. This wedding venue also has chairs and tables available for use, which was very desirable. I absolutely recommend this venue for weddings and wedding weekends. We had the opportunity to stay 4 nights with our wedding party and close family on the property, and we wouldn't have changed a thing! Flying Caballos Ranch feels homey, rustic, all while having a modern flare. Rolling hills, elegant barn, and endless scenic views are the perfect backdrop for your wedding!

Flying Caballos is the perfect wedding venue!

We just had our daughter’s wedding at Flying Caballos and it was absolutely perfect! All the events - Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, Reception, and post Wedding Brunch - were at the venue and it couldn’t have been any better. We used all the houses and they are even better than they appear in the pictures! I highly recommend this venue!

Incredible venue - private and spacious

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at Flying Caballos Ranch, and we are so glad we chose this venue! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of how beautiful and picturesque the entire property is. The venue itself is stunning, with so many incredible spaces to choose from, and it felt like the perfect backdrop for our big day.

We booked the venue for the entire weekend ($24,000), and as part of their Valentine's day sale, they generously offered us an extra night for free, which was such a thoughtful bonus given that our wedding was held on a 3 day weekend.

In addition to the main venue, we had access to four other properties on the ranch, all of which were beautifully maintained and offered unique features. Our absolute favorite was the Honeymoon Suite, which was beyond perfect—charming and cozy. It was the ideal space for us to relax and unwind after the excitement of the wedding!

We also hosted a BBQ after the event in the Farmhouse backyard, which was the perfect casual, relaxed vibe for our guests to continue celebrating. The space was beautiful, and Sarah, the venue manager, was there every step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly. She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and a true pleasure to work with—her support made all the difference in making our wedding day unforgettable.

Overall, Flying Caballos Ranch is a dream venue. The beautiful spaces, the exceptional service, and the extra special touches made our wedding weekend truly magical. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location with amazing service and an unforgettable experience!

So glad we chose Flying Caballos!

We loved everything about our wedding, but Flying Caballos may have been the best choice we made!
Sarah is an angel. She went above and beyond the call of duty for a venue manager to make the planning process and our wedding day stress-free and fun.
We loved how private and intimate FCR feels, while still being plenty large enough to be comfortable for all of our guests. The different spaces also gave the event great flow and kept it exciting throughout the day. And the Farmhouse was the perfect getting ready space.
The venue is gorgeous and well kept, and provides so many opportunities for beautiful photos.
We're so grateful to Sarah and the FCR team! We'd give it 10 stars if we could!

Incredible Venue!

We spent our wedding weekend at Flying Caballos Ranch- we had 18 guests stay on site, hosted a welcome drinks Friday night, and a roaring party that Saturday night!! Sarah and the whole Flying Caballos team were incredible. The upstairs backyard and ceremony area are stunning and give incredible views of Edna Valley and the gorgeous hills surrounding SLO. The barn is huge and was perfect for our rockin dance floor. Our 175 guests fit very comfortably and everyone was raving about the grounds. Such a unique and centrally located venue- highly recommend the full weekend buyout to truly enjoy the grounds!!

Gorgeous, perfect location

Flying Caballos is the perfect combo of "backyard", barn, vineyard vibes and it was exactly what we were looking for for our wedding weekend. Our families hadn't met until that week,, and the location allowed us to all stay on the property and get to know each other over the course of the weekend. We hosted a welcome dinner Friday night up by the farmhouse, then the wedding reception at the Barn, which provided a cool journey for our guests who got to experience the property at different times of day and see the gorgeous views from all angles. Would highly recommend this location to anyone, it's really magical.

Our dream wedding weekend all began with this venue

Flying Caballos Ranch was the wedding venue we couldn't stop thinking about after we first toured it. While it was on the pricier side in terms of budget, we don't have an ounce of regret about the decision to splurge. The setting for our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and farewell brunch were so naturally beautiful that we didn't need to overthink our decor, flowers, etc. The venue speaks for itself and created a really special setting for our friends and family.

We also felt so lucky to get to spend the entire weekend on premises with our wedding party and immediate family. The accommodations were lovely and super comfortable, plus Sarah was super responsive answering questions about anything we needed during our stay.

We cannot recommend Flying Caballos Ranch highly enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
