What Our Guests Are Saying

“Leigh Ann and the Flying W Ranch team hosted us in October for a 200+ person event and it was truly the highlight of the entire week! From the thrilling barrel racing to the captivating Native American dancing, live music, and delicious food, every detail was incredible. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the property was and how unique the experience felt. The staff went above and beyond. They were all friendly, professional, and so accommodating from start to finish. I can’t recommend Flying W Ranch enough for anyone planning a large event, it will absolutely wow your guests and create memories they’ll be talking about long after.”

Mira Whang
MMGY Global

“We took over the entire ranch. We had a wonderful dinner, listened to the Flying W band, and finished up with a rodeo. For event planners that are looking for something like this, they already have everything you need: lighting, rentals, décor, entertainment. It is turnkey and all you have to do is show up. If you want to customize the evening, they are more than willing to do it. We had a wonderful time, and we look forward to coming back in the future.”

Roger Yaffee
CEO, USLAW NETWORK

“It was a joy from the moment we stepped off the bus. The coolest thing was the little surprises along the way. People really paid attention to what guests want and made the event so special. One of my favorite things is seeing other people have a pure look of joy on their face and that is what I saw all night – From the animals to the dancing to the food, just pure joy and that is what it is all about. You can tell that Flying W is dedicated to this beautiful ranch and to other people, and I appreciate it so much.”

Candace Ward
Data-Driven Marketing Manager, Nissan

“We had 1200 people come together. If you are thinking about coming to Flying W for a large group , do not even think twice. We had incredible rodeo and all of the activities. Just being in nature and getting to enjoy what Colorado is all about. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here, whatever the event even small intimate…. One of the greatest things about Flying W is that they are family and they are your family.”

Tish Stropes
Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Fisher House Foundation

“I do global events around the world. It was a very big deal for our group. This was an incredibly unique and special experience. It took them out to nature – out to a very old-world different part of our history that we all have as Americans but didn’t know. Seeing the rodeo, the oxen, all the animals, it was just a really special experience. For event planners, two things: it is special and unique and different and also, they will tweak it to your needs. They made for a really special event.”

Sondro Padlo
YPO Scottsdale & BQ Retreats

“We are coming back for our Christmas party – second year in a row. Everyone can mingle. We opted for food lines, and you get them very quickly. Lots of activities. The entertainment is second to none. Great ambiance, great atmosphere, and a lot of great people. . Leigh Ann and her staff are amazing. They take care of us. They will treat you like family. If you are thinking about Flying W, give it chance. I guarantee you will come back for more.”

Ted Lauer

“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 venue itself is so beautiful, there is practically no need to decorate. Truly a wonderful experience.”

Marilyn A.

“We have been doing this event for 12 years (at other locations) and everyone said that this one was the best ever. Everybody loved every minute of it. They worked with us on everything. They accommodated all of what I needed. They made it smooth and carefree. Thank you for making this the event of the year. People have told me this is the best thing they have ever done. Hoping we do it next year – cannot wait for next year. Do not hesitate to have your event at the Flying W – it has to be Colorado’s premier event location – BAR NONE – No hesitation and especially for a big crowd. It just feels like Colorado.”

“We are from the east coast, and we are here hosting our most important client event of the year. Leigh Ann has now executed two very large events this week in rain , snow and sunshine and everybody has had an amazing time. It is a no-brainer. All of our clients loved it. Tons of activities, tons of things for them to do. It was even more than Leigh Ann said it would be, so they exceeded our expectations.”

“Everywhere else that I went, while there are great venues, this place made me feel like I was in Colorado. I felt the earthiness and the naturalness, and it was special. I usually do a formal event, and I brought it down to ranch style because I thought it was an experience and that is what I wanted my members to have. . Where else can you go where you can have the best of everything. It is all encompassing here. They were even able to accommodate our vegetarian options. It is the only event that I have ever been to where everyone danced. I am 100% in love with the ranch.”

Morgan Foor

We started with games and went to a rodeo – bull riding bronco bucking – it is cool stuff. Petting zoo, train, horse, and carriage – awesome – really, really fun. Multiple team members have said this is an amazing event. In fact, I heard some people say it was the best venue they have ever been to. Our team works so hard and for them to have a good night and feel valued by the Flying W team is so incredible and means a lot. Thank you.”

Aaron Ramsey
CEO, Envision Radiology
