A Unique Approach to Weddings

[Featured Venue] Over the past 30 years, Lynx Creek Farm has been the site of many memories made – and now, it’s a place for creating more.

[Featured Venue] The Holiday Ballroom fills the space that was once the Grand Saloon and Restaurant, in the early 1900s (it was the last building to fill in after the fire of 1900). That history is part of what gives the room its unique character: authentic advertisements are still painted on the brick walls (which were the exterior walls of the building next door), and the hatch marks on the brick, which builders created to help the plaster stick, are still visible.

The Most Memorable Moments

It was dusk and time to turn on the lights in the wedding pavilion at the Van Dickson Ranch when suddenly five horses entered the polo field and began to gallop around its perimeter.
