Just a short drive from the dazzling lights and excitement of the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll find a great spot for an outdoor wedding: Spring Mountain Ranch. This rustic and serene stretch of land adds beauty and adventure to any wedding! We recommend a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding for those looking for a touch of home mixed with the vastness of the country.
Now, let’s dive into what makes a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding an experience worth choosing!
Couples choose a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding for many reasons, including the aforementioned beauty and it’s close proximity to Las Vegas. But, one of the main reasons why couples choose a wedding there is because of its location above the valley.
As we all know, Vegas can be a scorcher in the summer months, so trying to find the best location for an outdoor wedding in Vegas isn’t easy.
But with a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding, couples can enjoy the cooler temperatures because of the higher altitude at 3,727 feet.
Because of Spring Mountain Ranch’s elevation and sprawling desert scenery, you and your guests will get to experience all the state park offers, including the beauty of its mountains, deserts, and fields. For those looking for a wedding in the country, Spring Mountain Ranch has it all.
Another reason why couples choose a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding is because it’s easy for guests to access the area. The Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is just under 20 miles from the famous Las Vegas Strip, providing a great opportunity for wedding parties that want to experience the best of both worlds.
Since Spring Mountain Ranch is included in the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area, guests can enjoy all the views, exploration, and photo moments both offer. If you’re up for it, you might even want to try to do both in one day. Challenge yourself!
As with the majority of state parks in the Nevada Desert vicinity, there are specific areas designated for group activities, including weddings. So, a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding will be the same, but you’ll be thrilled with the backdrop, sights, and intimate yet open space it provides.
Plus, once you’ve tied the knot, Spring Mountain Ranch has plenty of trails you can enjoy together. You could even make a whole weekend out of it!
There’s more to consider than just why couples choose a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding. There are also some practical things to figure out. After all, no one wants to show up to their dream wedding unprepared.
Let’s start with the time of year and day.
As with any outdoor wedding, it’s important to figure out the best time to hold it. For the time of year, consider a fall wedding, which will offer cooler temperatures. Morning and evening will provide beautiful lighting as well.
Also, although the state park is open all year round, there are different opening and closing times for each month. You can find more details about this here.
Couples will need to pay both the entrance fee of $10 per in-state vehicle and $15 per out-of-state vehicle plus the $200 group-use fee. These fees will be completely taken care of with our all-inclusive wedding packages!
Up to 50 guests can be accommodated for a Spring Mountain Ranch wedding.
The Spring Mountain Ranch State Park has many rules guests need to follow. Thankfully, they’re all very easy. They include no loud music, no use of drones, needing to remove decorations before leaving, and staying on established park trails.
Wedding photographers will require a photography permit. The good news is that our all-inclusive wedding packages take care of this permit for you. It’s just another way we work to make your experience as smooth and easy as possible.
