With space to accommodate up to 30 guests, each event is thoughtfully tailored to feel relaxed, personal, and unhurried.
Set along the winding banks of the Shoshone River, just 17 miles from the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park and 35 miles from Cody, Wyoming, The UXU Ranch is surrounded by wide-open mountain views, quiet meadows, and authentic historic log cabins. Here, the noise fades away, replaced by fresh mountain air, crackling campfires, and the steady rhythm of ranch life.
At The UXU Ranch, gatherings are meant to be savored—unplugged, unpolished, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place where time slows down and memories are made naturally, you’ll find it here.

A Rustic Wedding Experience at UXU Ranch
Begin your love story in a place where time slows down and nature takes the lead. The historic UXU Ranch offers a wedding experience rooted in authenticity, wide-open spaces, and the quiet beauty of the Wyoming wilderness.
Surrounded by sweeping mountain views, open meadows, and weathered log cabins, UXU Ranch provides endless scenic and photographic opportunities—from golden-hour vows in the pasture to candlelit moments beneath the stars. With room for up to 30+ guests, weddings here feel personal, relaxed, and naturally elegant rather than staged or hurried.
Your day is complemented by exceptional, thoughtfully prepared food, served with genuine Western hospitality. From celebratory dinners to late-night gatherings, meals at UXU are as memorable as the setting itself—meant to be savored, shared, and talked about long after the night ends. Celebrate with friends and family at the legendary Bad Bear Bar & Saloon, where boots are welcome, laughter carries late, and stories are made.
Featured in Rocky Mountain Bride (May 2024), UXU Ranch is a place for couples who value connection, scenery, and soul. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels real, rooted, and breathtakingly beautiful, you’ll find it here.
