The Long Hollow Ranch — Hotel in Sisters

The Perfect Venue for Our Daughter’s Wedding

This review is going to be a bit long, so for those who are scanning quickly, here’s the short story: I wholeheartedly recommend Long Hollow Ranch as a wedding venue! It is wonderfully picturesque and the manager is so great to work with. If you want more detail, read on:

The grounds and facilities at Long Hollow are beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable. The centerpiece of Long Hollow Ranch is the 100 year old barn which has been beautifully restored. The barn is pre-decorated with some very pretty white lights, including wagon wheel “chandeliers” hanging from the ceiling. We brought in some additional decor, but for the most part the charm was already there! Long Hollow supplies plentiful tables and chairs so there is no need to rent those separately. There is a well-kept lawn right next to the large barn deck, which was mostly in the shade for our 4 p.m. early July wedding thanks to a well-placed row of aspen trees. Our wedding day coincided with a heat wave and I was worried that the temps would negatively affect our celebration, but with the shade and a nice breeze, everyone had a wonderful time. We had both the ceremony and the reception on the lawn, and used the barn to serve food and beverages and then for dancing after the food was put away. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how comfortable and seamless the ceremony and reception were, and most of that was due to the excellent layout of the Long Hollow facility.

Beyond the main space, there is a kitchen with a full sized fridge that can be used either by caterers or if you are handling the food yourself. (There are no cooking appliances, but there is a commercial sink and a large counter space. We used roasting ovens and chafing dishes to keep food warm.) Behind the kitchen are a couple of rooms which work well for the groomsmen to get ready in. Our female attendants used the Homestead House near the barn to prepare themselves, and were able to stay there overnight as well. (See paragraph about renting accommodations.)

Larry, the on-site ranch manager at Long Hollow, was so gracious and easy to work with. He is well organized and responds very quickly to emails and phone calls. He was so kind about letting us visit the ranch several times between the day we reserved the venue and the actual event, and was completely available during the wedding weekend. His wife Linda is also a pleasure to work with.

A really unique and fantastic option at Long Hollow is to rent the guest room side of the business along with the wedding venue. If you rent the whole place for two nights you get the main ranch house with five charming guest rooms (each with a private bath), the ranch cottage that sleeps four, and the Homestead House which we used to house some of the wedding party. Renting these accommodations cost an additional $2300 dollars for two nights, which is really a bargain when you consider the cost of seven hotel rooms for two nights in Sisters. It turned out to be the best decision! It was so convenient to have our families staying right there, and made for a true weekend reunion rather than just a one-day event. We loved hanging out on the huge porch in the evenings, and early morning walks at Long Hollow were breathtaking as well.

All in all, we are so thankful for a beautiful, memorable wedding weekend at...
