What Our Guests Are Saying

Our brides all agree, booking a wedding at The Flying W Ranch is a guarantee
to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary memories

“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.

“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 mini-show by the Flying W Wranglers! We received so many wonderful compliments on the food and bar services. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for making our cowboy wedding an amazing experience for everyone!”

Bill S.

“I had my Rehearsal Dinner here. I am actually at a loss of words to express my gratitude to Leigh Ann and Ruth. We felt like family. The grounds are absolutely magical and having the entire place to ourselves was instrumental in creating a feeling of being miles away from civilization and we never wanted to leave. Literally my entire wedding party of thirty-seven people agreed that it was the one of most unique experiences they had ever had.”

Susannah Z.

“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. There is a sweet spirit about this wonderful place. 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.”

Debbie W.

Wow!! This venue was a DREAM for our wedding! The number of compliments we got about the scenery and the venue was too many to count! The day was perfect! We opted for the extra cost for the horse and carriage to enter the ceremony, and it was an incredible experience and VERY worth it. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, to the reception, it was STUNNING. The food was delicious and was served FAST! The reception set up was so cool and people loved out unique it was! Thanks to Flying W and their staff for making our wedding day one we wish we could relive over and over again!
