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.

Incredible and everything we were looking for in a venue!
We got married in Sept 2022 and could not imagine a better venue. It was really important to us that our bridal party could all stay onsite for the weekend. Flying Caballos provided that and more! Not only were we able to provide lodging we also hosted our rehearsal dinner on the property. We loved that we could have the ceremony on the lawn overlooking the rolling hills and that the reception was just a stroll down the beautiful steps to the barn. The staff was incredible and we are so, so happy that we got married at our dream venue. Thank you Flying Caballos Ranch!

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!!
Flying Caballos Ranch's reply:
Thank you for the lovely review... it was such a pleasure to host you both along with your friends & family! What an incredibly beautiful wedding weekend! Cheers!

Great Venue!
The views and property were beautiful and we loved having separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. The property is close to downtown while still feeling private and away from the noise

Flying Caballos completely exceeded our expectations. Having the venue for the entire weekend was a game-changer. It relieved so much stress and gave our families tons of time to connect before and after the wedding. Sarah was so professional and helped make the day come together perfectly.
Flying Caballos Ranch's reply:
Thank you so much Haley! It was such a pleasure hosting you both as well as your lovely friends & family! Congratulations!!!

Gorgeous venue!
We LOVE Flying Caballos! When booking a venue, our options were limited with such a large guest count. We were able to book a tour of FCR very quickly, and we just knew the minute we walked up to the gorgeous yellow farmhouse that we needed to have our wedding here. Sarah, the venue manager, has great communication and worked hand in hand with our wedding planner to ensure the day ran smoothly, even while planning, postponing and re-planning our wedding. Our guests were awed at the beauty of the venue! From the perfectly landscaped yard to the modern bar, every square inch of Flying Caballos is beautiful. We are SO thankful that we were able to have our special day here. Flying Caballos will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Flying Caballos Ranch really is a special place
Flying Caballos Ranch was the perfect place to get married! We immediately fell in love with one of the locations for a ceremony, a grassy area overlooking the hills, beautiful! And then we also fell in love with the fact that there are 4 places on the property where you and your guests can stay. And of course the barn is so pretty! We were able to stay with our whole wedding party onsite which made the weekend that much more fun by having everyone together. The venue is also located near the airport and close to downtown so it’s easy for guests to get to. There are so many great spots on the property that allow you to host different parts of your wedding in different areas. We had the rehearsal dinner and wedding cocktail hour out back of the yellow farm house which is such a pretty spot with lights strung around. The ceremony was held on the lawn overlooking the hills. The wedding reception and dancing were held inside the barn. The bridal parties were also able to get ready onsite which was nice. It’s such a beautiful venue to get married at and many guests were telling us how much they love the venue. There are also a lot of great spots for photos! Sarah who oversees the venue and was also our month of coordinator is so great too! She knows the property so well and was super helpful with planning out the details of our day and made the actual day run so smoothly!! She had everything handled, and we and our families were all very impressed. It really is a special place and we’re so lucky we got to get married there! We love Flying Caballos!

Perfect Venue
When looking at wedding venues we immediately knew that FCR was where we wanted to get married. The welcome area at the Farmhouse and ceremony field have great views and plenty of space to welcome guests, and the barn is the perfect spot for after ceremony drinks and dancing.
It feels like you get a lot of variety and space for the day by breaking up the different components to different areas, and we loved that it was close enough to town for our guests to uber home or to hotels. We got many many compliments on the venue and it had the perfect vibe for the day we planned.
I stayed the night before in the cosy cottage on location and my bridemaids and I got ready day of in the Farmhouse, while the groomsmen took over the cosy cottage to get ready. We held our ceremony on the lawn overlooking Islay and had the meal / reception inside the barn. It was important to us to have an indoor space as it does get cold in the evenings here - we also used outdoor heaters so our guests could enjoy the space outside the barn for passed apps and drinks post ceremony and the older guests enjoyed sitting by the fireplace later into the evening.
Sarah at FCR was our coordinator, and I couldn't recommend highly enough - she made the planning and the day easy and stress free, even when we had to postpone a year due to covid! She was fantastic at communicating at the rehearsal the night before and ensuring the day ran smoothly and on time and I see great benefit in having her and her knowledge of the venue and vendors as part of the planning process.
We had the perfect day at FCR and couldn't be happier with the venue we chose and service we received, I wouldn't change a thing. We had a lot of out of town guests and felt FCR displayed the best features of the area, while remaining close to town and ticking all our boxes for accommodation on site and an inside reception area etc. Also, it is also a beautiful place to wake up on morning of and morning after the wedding! We live close by, but it felt like a destination wedding! Wedding date 07/09/22

Incredible Venue, a True Hidden Gem
Such a beautiful place for a wedding! My Husband and I had the perfect wedding weekend with family and friends at Flying Caballos Ranch. My husband and I had planned to marry here in September of 2020 but due to Covid we had to reschedule. Sarah with Flying Caballos Ranch was very understanding and made the rescheduling processes so easy! This ranch really is fantastic, the best coastal venue in our opinion, a true hidden gem! It is GORGEOUS and has so many different spots on the property for photos, guests to stay, and host different events for the wedding. The old dairy house and the yard were perfect for our rehearsal dinner, super chill and beautiful. The grass overlooking Islay Hill was an amazing spot for our ceremony and the barn is AWESOME! The barn has all kinds of room to set-up inside and out or both, it is a beautiful canvas for any event! It is centrally located in SLO, across the street from the airport which made it really easy for our out of state guests and sits perfect with 360-degree views, truly amazing. Sarah and her team were so helpful and truly cared about us and guests and had no hesitation to make any changes needed to keep the day memorable. Good people to know and to work with, we have nothing but appreciation in having them by our side for our wonderful day! We had the weekend of our dreams and would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you, Flying Caballos Ranch! ♥♥

Gorgeous Wedding Venue!
Flying Caballos is a gorgeous wedding venue and one of our favorites! Venue staff is friendly and responsive, and so easy to work with throughout the planning process. Rolling hills and green grass, the cutest farmhouses, and an awesome barn for the ultimate party! It's a win-win-win!

Beautiful Setting & So Much Run for Activities
As a local wedding planner, I can't express how much we love Flying Caballos Ranch for any upcoming wedding, event or even a week/weekend getaway! The venue provides a beautiful setting and so much room for activity and accommodations! Sarah is absolutely wonderful and easy to work with! She is so nice and very responsive! Thank you Sarah so much for your contribution for our 7th annual holiday fundraiser! Flying Caballos Ranch was the perfect fit for our Fire and Ice theme and we had an absolute BLAST! I look forward to the next opportunity to work with you and out at the ranch! XOXO!

Flying Caballos Ranch was the perfect wedding venue! It has so much charm and character to offer. By the end of the weekend, I did not want to leave...like ever. The property is BIG and it very versatile. We used the main house to host taco truck rehearsal the first night. For the day of the ceremony we set-up outside on the lawn and hosted the reception in the STUNNING barn just built over the past year. The barn was a good fit for our wedding as it was a great compromise between our parents vision and ours. I lovingly refer to it as 'The Country Club of Barns' :)

Sarah was extremely professional and friendly, always made us feel like her only bride and groom! She went above and beyond to be sure we were able to see the property when we were in town (this was a destination wedding) and we couldn't be more appreciative of everything she did (especially behind the scenes) to make our wedding day perfect!

This venue was magical and had so much space to work with. My guests absolutely loved it and and it gave us great photos with the property being so big. Being able to rent the houses and get ready on site made the day stress free especially with staying close to the timeline. Sarah the coordinator for this venue is so attentive and knows so much about the property and weddings in general. As a package they were everything my groom and I hoped for:) He actually says he ll be booking the property again for future events.

We absolutely loved our experience at Flying Caballos Ranch. Getting to stay on the property for 3 nights made it feel like we were at home, and made our experience that much more special. Sarah was wonderful to work with and made sure everything came together perfectly on our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

We had such a wonderful experience at the Flying Caballos, we didn’t want it to end! Sarah is great to work with- organized and on top of it, and she knows all the best people to work with in the area. We recommend staying for three or four days if you can, to really soak it in! Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to be back soon!

My husband and I chose FCR as our venue before we even were able to visit it in person and it was the best decision we ever made! Working with Sarah throughout the process made everything a breeze and every question we had was quickly answered and seamlessly handled. We had the weekend of a lifetime celebrating with our closest friends and family and loved that it felt like so much more than just a wedding day. We have the fondest memories of the ranch and hope to renew our vows there in the future decades to come. Thank you FCR for the perfect wedding venue!

Our wedding at Flying Caballos was an absolute dream. I had been eyeing the venue for about 7 years, so I was very excited to finally get to have our wedding there and it to exceed my expectations. We wanted our wedding party and families to be able to stay on the property so we could really enjoy the entire weekend together. The weather was perfect and the hills were still green in late May due to the large amount of rain we had all winter. People had warned us about the wind in Edna Valley, but our day had a very light breeze. The location is perfect because you feel like you are out in the country, but you are only 10 minutes from downtown SLO. I wish I could go back and re-live the entire day again. We hope we can come back and book a weekend getaway soon.

Getting married at Flying Caballos was an absolute dream! It was a perfect, romantic, rustic setting for our day, and we got so many compliments from friends and family on the venue. The farmhouse is so bright and vintage, it makes the perfect backdrop for the day and we used it as a home base from my bridesmaids and I to stay in and get ready. The other houses are fantastic as well, especially the converted water tower a.k.a. honeymoon suite! Where else can you find something as charming and unique as that?! The stunning hills made a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony, and we had everything we needed for a full weekend of activities. The hot tub is a fun bonus too! It's also a fantastic price for all the time and included amenities you get--worth every penny. At most other venues/ranches, you'd be paying the same price or more for just 10 hours and without any accommodations included. If you want a beautiful wedding venue full of character, but that can also be transformed into anything as unique and personal as you can imagine, go with Flying Caballos.

This venue was WELL worth the cost. We didn't need to have nearly as many flowers, decorations, etc. because the space is so incredibly stunning. My guests couldn't stop talking about it for months. We hired Sarah, the location manager, as our coordinator, which was the best decision. Having someone who knew all of the ins and outs of the venue and had great relationships with the vendors put my mind at ease for any problems that might arise. Everything went perfectly smooth and I had the best time at my wedding. My friends camped on the grounds and loved the outdoor showers, campfire, and the hot tub in the trees. And I loved the bridal tower, felt like Rapunzel. If there ever was a reason to splurge for your wedding, this venue is it.

Instead of just getting married at Flying Caballos, make a weekend out of it! We had our immediate families and wedding party stay for the weekend (had a couple days to hang before the ceremony). It was the best, most peaceful weekend that I've had in a long time. Beautiful location, wonderful service from the Flying Caballos team...couldn't ask for more. We love the character of Flying Caballos--it's such a unique venue that we will cherish for years to come. We're already planning our 5-year anniversary trip with our wedding party!

Flying Caballos Ranch was the MOST perfect location for an extended wedding weekend with our closest family and friends! From the moment we stepped on the property for the first time we knew it was the perfect fit for us--the charm and character stood out from all other venues we looked at.
The staff, Sarah and Tori, were amazing throughout the planning process and the execution of the event. They really have it down and were super accommodating and flexible with our requests to help make it, in my mom's words, "the most glorious day!" The price seemed a little intimidating to us at first, but for a full weekend enjoying the property, the big wedding day event, staff, amenities, etc. onsite it is a steal and by far the best option we looked at in the San Luis area.
We are ready to go back for an Anniversary celebration!
