Flying Caballos Ranch Reviews

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!

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!

Sarah made our wedding planning process so easy and comfortable. We could not be happier with how our day turned out at this beautiful venue.

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.

Such a breathtaking property! Sarah the property manager was great to work with!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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! ♥♥

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.

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!

This is the most incredible venue site! The property is just stunning and everything is meticulously cared for. The places to take photos are never ending. Seriously, leave yourself a lot of time for photos! We worked with the new site manager, Krysta, who was wonderful. We were the first wedding she handled and she went above and beyond to support us and make sure everything was perfect. She was flexible, responsive and accommodating with all our changes, needs and requests. We rented the big house for two nights and the guest houses for three so all our families were able to stay on site. We held a rehearsal lunch on Friday afternoon which was fabulous. The backyard is so beautiful, warm and inviting. Our guests had an amazing time and got to know the property. It was fun showing off the space. We had our wedding the next day. We held the ceremony in the backyard of the guest house which was shielded from the wind and looked out on the vineyard. We also chose to set up a tent right beyond the white fence. This was the right decision since it was chilly and ended up raining at the end of the night. The tent was stunning with two peaks and clear sides so you could see the sunset. Our guests were warm and happy! Overall it was the perfect wedding! I would highly recommend this site and Krysta, she was awesome.

This was the perfect spot for our wedding! All of our family is from out of town and we all got to stay together (24 of us) in one spot for 3 nights and 4 days. The property is beautifully manicured and really does not need much decorating to make it just spectacular!!!

The property manager is friendly, professional and super easy to work with!! We cant wait to have another celebration at Flying Caballos!!!

This is a beautiful venue to get married at. Couldn't have enjoyed our wedding more! And we got to stay in the restored farm house two nights included with our venue rental. In spit of the fact that we were 10 minutes from downtown, we felt as though we were in the middle of the country far removed from any hustle and bustle. There us an idyllic beauty that is hard to match anywhere else.

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!

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!

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!!

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!!

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

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 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!

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.

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!

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' :)
