Flying Horse Ranch, located in Larkspur, Colorado, is a premier wedding venue that combines historical charm with modern elegance. I love how much space is on this property- plenty of open fields for sunset photos and lots of opportunities to capture a beautiful wedding day. Flying Horse Ranch was designed by the acclaimed Michael Barber Architecture firm from Denver and features the distinctive Plains Victorian style. One of the greatest benefits of this location is the ability to create a luxury wedding with a truly timeless feel. The venue offers both an all-inclusive package and a more customized package perfect for both large and small weddings.
