Our Story

After a few years of owning and operating Guyton Ranch just outside of Fairplay, and genuinely enjoying the experience, the opportunity to own and operate a former equestrian center near Grand Lake fell into our laps. Because of its picturesque views, immaculate property, and stunning buildings, we saw an opportunity to turn a horse barn into a dream wedding destination. Almost accidentally, we found ourselves the owners of this stunning venue, ready for a new era of life!

After a few layers of paint, furnishings, the installation of benches and arches for two separate ceremony spaces, our ranch was open for business, and ready to celebrate!

We decided to get creative and have fun with the property’s unique past, by incorporating elements of its former equestrian persona into the venue. For example, the old warm up area for the horses is now a gorgeous 100-person beer garden surrounded by wildflowers for cozy happy hours during sunset.

We created two ceremony spaces in former pastures, both with unbelievable mountain views, velvety grass uncommon in mountain areas.

The interior of the main barn was spruced up with white paint on the walls to give it a more modern feel, blended with wooden rafters and wainscoting for a touch of warmth. The windows lining the venue allow tons of natural light to flow into the venue effortlessly.

We are so excited to share this space with our sweet couples, and celebrate together for years to come!
