our plan

This wasn't part of

Our love for The Barn at Sunset Ranch was born from planning our own children’s weddings and celebrating countless milestones with friends and family. Just like you, we remember the endless search for the perfect venue that felt beautiful, meaningful, and actually fit the budget.

There is truly nothing that fills our hearts more than watching a couple’s vision come to life. Seeing all the thoughtful details come together into a day full of joy, love, and unforgettable moments is pure magic to us. We would be absolutely honored to be the backdrop for your wedding day and the setting for the memories you’ll cherish forever.

At our core, we love serving people. We love helping families create meaningful, beautiful celebrations, and our deepest hope is to bless every couple and every family who walks through our doors. The Barn at Sunset Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s a place where love stories begin, foundations are laid, and lifelong memories are made.

In fact, we were quite happy with our quiet life here in the mountains. Jayme was working at Sangre de Cristo Electric while Jim was running his plumbing business. But God had other plans, and He knew we were meant to be a part of it.

"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day at The Barn. The venue is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking 360-degree views of the mountains that made for the most beautiful backdrop. Almost all of our guests traveled from Illinois and were amazed at how beautiful the scenery was.

Jayme was wonderful to work with—she made everything run seamlessly, and the attention to detail was amazing. From start to finish, everything went perfectly. From the second we saw a photo of The Barn, we knew we wanted to get married there. We made the perfect choice. Highly recommend!"
