The Meadow
One of the most breathtaking locations for an outdoor ceremony is the Meadow, which sits above the Lodge at Blue Sky. This serene space offers 360-degree panoramic mountain views, providing an unparalleled backdrop for your wedding. The Meadow’s expansive, open feel creates a sense of intimacy while embracing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, making it ideal for couples who want a scenic, nature-focused ceremony. The Meadow requires specific transportation needs as not just any vehicle can make the route, but rest assured, our team can help organize these logistics and it’s well worth it!
The Tavern
For couples seeking a cozy, intimate setting, The Tavern at Blue Sky Ranch offers a rustic yet refined space perfect for smaller gatherings or rehearsal dinners. With its welcoming atmosphere, charming setting, and scenic views, the meadow at the Tavern is ideal for creating a relaxed, personal vibe while still embracing the natural beauty of the ranch. It’s an excellent space for pre-wedding events or more intimate ceremonies, wedding luncheons, and receptions. Similar to the Meadow, the Tavern also requires specific transportation arrangements that we help our couples organize (getting to these gorgeous, hidden-away locations takes a little bit of elbow grease but the logistics are something our team can and has handled on multiple occasions).
The YURT
Nestled in the heart of the ranch’s wilderness, the Yurt provides a private and tranquil atmosphere that immerses guests in nature. While it maintains a rustic charm with its circular structure and natural materials, the Yurt is outfitted with luxurious touches, making it a cozy yet refined space. It features both an indoor gathering area and an outdoor patio, allowing guests to move freely between the two spaces while taking in the scenic views. This space has been a popular choice among our clients seeking a spot for intimate events, such as small wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, rehearsal dinners and welcome parties. It’s an excellent choice for couples looking for a unique, nature-inspired venue with an exclusive feel and gorgeous mountain views.

The expansive lawn is ideal for creating an elegant yet relaxed setting, and its size accommodates both intimate and grand celebrations with ease. Couples like this option because it’s located in close proximity to the Arena where most dinner receptions take place.
