Let’s Talk About It: Plan B/Plan C

At Blackstone Rivers Ranch, we know that mountain weather is unpredictable. Our Plan B for inclement weather is to wait it out—storms in our valley rarely last all day. But if you’re committed to keeping your timeline intact, we have a stunning Plan C: moving the ceremony into our elegant white sailcloth tent.

Ally & Brett embraced this option for their intimate August 2022 wedding, and it created an unforgettable atmosphere. As the rain softly drummed against the tent’s canopy and distant thunder rumbled through the valley, their guests gathered closely, warmed by love and the soft glow of our signature string lights. The translucent tent sides allowed glimpses of the storm’s dramatic beauty while keeping everyone dry and comfortable.

The tent itself is a vision—its sweeping white fabric feels airy and romantic, with delicate starburst details around each pole adding a touch of elegance. The glow of the string lights reflected off the rain-kissed surroundings, creating a magical, intimate ambiance. For added comfort, our clear tent sides can be lowered, and heaters ensure warmth on a cooler day.

If you’re open to flexibility, we can adjust your timeline—perhaps shifting cocktail hour before the ceremony to wait out the rain. But if staying on schedule is your priority, our tented ceremony ensures a seamless transition without sacrificing beauty or experience.

Ally & Brett’s ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. As the storm rolled through, their vows carried over the gentle hum of rain—a powerful reminder that love, like nature, is full of beauty in every season.
