Weddings Out West
Made for the Big Moments
Wide-open views, red rock country, and plenty of room to gather your favorite people. From intimate ceremonies to celebrations of 150 or more, Cougar Ridge sets the stage for a wedding that feels entirely your own.
Family-owned for generations, Cougar Ridge is a true working ranch in Torrey, Utah, the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park. It’s a place rooted in the West, where the landscape is big, the welcome is warm, and there’s plenty of room to make the weekend yours.
Choose from a range of indoor and outdoor spaces across the ranch, including the Pavilion, Grand Lodge, Event Lawn and Barn, with options for everything from the ceremony and dinner to late-night celebrations.
Settle into spacious, refined accommodations made for gathering with family and friends. Spend the days by the pool, explore the surrounding country by e-bike, meet the ranch livestock, or give your guests a real taste of the West with a private rodeo right here on the property.
Come for the setting. Stay for the weekend. Make a little history out West.

“This resort was incredible! Everything was super clean, new, and gorgeous. It’s only minutes from Capitol Reef National Park, which made it so easy to get in and out after hiking. The property was incredible with 2 friendly dogs, horses, baby goats, llamas, a donkey, and even a longhorn. The amenities were just as great: a beautiful pool with cabanas, a sauna, changing rooms, basketball courts, a complimentary professional laundry room, and a full gym. We stayed in the King suite, which felt like a luxury condo. It had an upstairs, a walk-in shower, two porches, a brand-new full kitchen, and a pellet grill. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring. The staff was welcoming and incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this resort if you want comfort, luxury, fun, and the best location near Capitol Reef.”

“CR staff, thank you for creating such a beautiful lodge/resort in such an amazing area. Everything was great - the rooms, the pool, the service, just everything!
You helped our family have such an amazing wedding that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hoping we can come back soon for a vacation and spend more time in this amazing part of the desert.”

“We stayed in the villas and had the reception here and I was absolutely blown away. The property, staff, and villas are all incredible. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The property is gorgeous, peaceful, and well maintained. All of the rooms and furniture are comfortable. Don't even get me started on the showers, because it's truly luxury living there. The gym and pool area is incredible as well. Couldn't have picked a better spot to spend the weekend. Overheard that there will eventually be a restaurant on the property, which will be a wonderful addition!”
