We are able to accommodate up to 150 total guests, so a small, intimate wedding is definitely possible! However, we require a full-ranch buyout of at least three-or-more nights. We, unfortunately, aren’t able to accommodate ceremonies or exchanges of vows without a full buyout.

We have 18 guest cabins and 4 lodge rooms, which allows us to accommodate up to 44 guests comfortably. For an additional charge, we’re able to add up to 6 people total into guest cabins (we cannot accommodate additional guests in lodge rooms). The maximum number of on-Ranch guests we can accommodate is 50.

For the wedding ceremony, and thus the reception, we’re able to welcome a total maximum guest count of 150. That is the total of both on-Ranch guests staying with us, as well as off-Ranch guests who might be staying in Stanley or visiting for the day from out of town. Off-Ranch guests can be accommodated for a per-person, per-meal charge.

Unfortunately, we are not able to allow guests to camp or park their RV on-site. We are surrounded by more wilderness than anywhere in the lower 48 states, and there are plenty of campsites and RV parking areas within a short drive.

Although we all love our furry, four-legged friends, due to liability reasons, we’re unable to allow guests to bring pets on-Ranch. There are a number of places in Ketchum that offer boarding.

The Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch is located an hour and twenty minutes away from the closest airport, Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) in Hailey, Idaho. We’re located two hours and fifty-four minutes away from the closest international airport, in Boise (BOI). And our check-in time is at 3pm.

The best-case-scenario is that you and every friend and family member who will be joining you all live in Hailey, Idaho. Everyone gets here at 3pm on the dot, gets checked into their rooms, says hi and chats with loved ones, maybe looks around for a minute, and then it’s time for appetizers at 5:30pm. Dinner starts at 6:30pm. Follow that up with a group trip to the hot pool, and your first night is complete.

The next day is your wedding day, so the people who weren’t staying at the Ranch for the night have to drive up. You’re getting ready with your girls. Hair, make-up, pictures, etc. Or you’re getting ready with your guys. Eating a charcuterie board, throwing the frisbee, getting your tux on, and reminiscing about old times. Maybe you have time for a small hike around the ranch, but not much more than that because the pre-wedding festivities start around 3pm.

You excitedly go through the night, floating from more pictures, to the exchange of vows in front of the majestic Sawtooth Mountains, over to cut the cake and have toasts, and you sit for your meal, then dance the night away until the wee hours.

You wake up the next morning, head to the dining room at the main lodge to have some breakfast and start to say your goodbyes because check out is at 11, and people need to be getting back.

An epic weekend, for sure! But what if your Aunt is in Florida or your best friend from college lives in San Diego? Or Chicago, or New York? For a two-night wedding weekend, they’ll need to get the early flight if they want to check in at 3pm, because most flights coming into Hailey are connecting flights. If their flight gets in late, they might miss some of the first night’s fun. Not to mention renting a car and driving either an extra hour and twenty minutes, or nearly three hours if they flew into Boise, after traveling all morning. Plus, if friends or family are coming from sea-level, we’re at 6,600 feet in elevation, so it takes a little while to acclimate! In addition, if people are coming from out of town, wouldn’t you want to share some more time with them in this amazing location? Maybe you set up a horseback ride around the Ranch, or you want to go fly fishing, or for a mountain bike ride! All of this doesn’t even mention the behind-the-scenes things that also need to happen to prepare for your wedding festivities (tent setup, tables, DJ, band, etc).

Although we’ve had two-night wedding buyouts in the past, we’ve found that they could feel rushed, and guests have expressed that they wished they could’ve had more time. Allowing the weekend to breathe in the fresh, mountain air, has universally been a more relaxed vibe – for our guests, their vendors, and our staff, alike.

Every wedding is different! With all weddings, however, we require a full-Ranch buyout for at least three-or-more nights. We are able acommodate 44 on-Ranch guests, and a maximum guest count of 150. All meals are included for guests who are staying with us, and guests who are not staying with us will be charged a standard per-person, per-meal rate.

Our standard cabin and lodge room pricing is viewable on our reservations page. If, after reviewing that, you would like to learn more, please reach out via our contact page and we will be happy to begin a dialogue.

Our entire season is from mid-June through mid-September each year. With a short, 90ish day season, we are able to allow up to four weddings per year. We require a full ranch buyout of three-or-more nights and weddings are only available in June or September. We allow bookings for the following year starting on June 1st of the preceeding year. (example: Wedding availability for 2023 opened up on June 1st, 2022)

We no longer have availability for our 2025 season. Availability for our 2026 season will begin on June 1st, 2025, and you can reach out at or after that time from our contact page.
