The Flying W Ranch was absolutely amazing for our daughter’s wedding and reception. Even in November, the photo opportunities were stunning with the immense red rock formations, water events and overall mountain ranch setting. The Mountain Stream Lodge was wonderful. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and the transition into the reception was seamless. After the ceremony, the wedding chairs were whisked away to reveal a beautiful dance floor surrounded by tables set for dinner. The delicious food was served to the tables quickly. The dance floor was configured to facilitate dancing in the round that turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone. There were about 25 children in attendance and we were pleased to have accommodations for childcare on site during the ceremony. The Flying W staff was great at helping to facilitate various activities into the wedding like the traditional military sword/saber arch. The giant LED video wall was a wonderful tool that made the ceremony/reception all the more fantastic. There is a sweet spirit about this wonderful place.
The staff was helpful in so many ways, offering suggestions and making adjustments to meet our unique desires. We didn’t have a wedding planner because Leigh Ann stepped up to make sure everything ran smoothly. She felt like part of the family by the end of the reception.

Absolutely gorgeous venue, grounds, and amenities. Leigh Ann, as well as every single staff member, went above and beyond to make our day an amazing experience - to include a staff flash mob to join us for a line dance and a show by the Flying W Wranglers! We started planning only four months prior to the wedding date, and made several changes in the timeline, order of events, extra amenities, and details. They were fantastic and very accommodating. Leigh Ann was extraordinarily patient, kind, and offered great suggestions to make the day go smoothly. We received so many wonderful compliments on the food and bar services. It was absolutely delicious! We planned on having an outdoor ceremony in their Red Mountain Valley area but it was pouring rain on our wedding day. Leigh Ann made preparations and reservations for the outdoor ceremony and coordinated a seamless transition into the indoor space. It could have been a disaster but because of their hard work, it ended up being such a beautiful Plan B. No one would have guessed that we literally changed the entire venue, bar, and everything hours before the ceremony. The only con we experienced was the weather. We knew planning an outdoor ceremony in Colorado in the spring was crazy and took a gamble. Our guests had such a fantastic time that I don't think they even were aware that there would have been more things to see and do if it wasn't freezing cold and pouring rain. They made our rustic wedding an amazing experience for everyone!

This venue gave us the remote feeling we wanted, while being only minutes from any major hotel. We were searching for a venue that allowed us to pay homage to our western roots, while was able to still hold the class for a black tie event which is exactly what the Flying W gave us. Their staff was remarkable, and was able to serve 400 steaks to all our guests perfectly and efficiently. The amount of feedback I received from our guests on how beautiful the venue was, and how remarkable the staff was was more than i can count. We were able to bring in our own band, and the flexibility the Flying W had with all of that made it easy to do. The venue itself is so beautiful, there is practically no need to decorate. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Leigh Ann and the entire Flying W crew!
