Stemple Creek Ranch is one of those places that just gets better every time you visit. As a local wedding company, LOVE + WOLVES CO has provided photo, Super 8 and beauty services over the years and it never feels like work. The land is stunning, the light is perfection and the staff makes you feel like family. There's something really special about a place that takes as much pride in what they do and it shows. If you're a couple looking for a location that brings the magic Stemple Creek is the real deal. Thank you Stemple Creek team!
I'm a tour bus driver and I took a group of culinary students to this location. The grounds and topography of this place are really beautiful. I learned that Stemple Creek produces the highest quality grass feed beef. They cooked their product on their open pit wood grill, and served it in an open air picnic style. This place is perfect for a wedding or a large family gathering. The drive is a bit challenging, so charter a vehicle, and enjoy yourself at this location.
Stemple Creek Ranch gave my husband and me the best day of our lives! We knew right away on our first visit that it was the perfect wedding venue for us, and we continued to be impressed throughout the planning process and wedding weekend. A couple highlights: -The wildflowers were in full bloom and the hills were bright green when we got married in early May (see photo). We got so many compliments from our guests. -The cabins on site and Zias Farmhouse make it so convenient for the family and bridal party to spend the weekend together. They also have plenty of room for getting ready, and are very nice on the inside. -Stemple Creek has great outdoor and indoor areas to hang out throughout the night, from the barn to the cocktail patio area (see photo). -Katie, the venue manager, was super easy to work with and flexible with last minute schedule changes. In general, Stemple Creek has thought of everything you might need to have a fabulous wedding day, from venue recommendations to rainy day contingencies, and we highly recommend getting married there.
We’ve been searching & searching for a regenerative, organic, grass-fed farm to buy our meats from. Lots of buying and being disappointed… until Stemple Creek! Their beef, lamb & pork are deeply flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. The way meat is supposed to taste! You really only need to flavor their meats with a little salt & pepper because the taste by its self is so yummy. We buy a big box every few months with excitement for what recipes we’re going to cook with the many options of cuts they offer. ***I wish they would add chicken and turkey to the ranch! We tried out the chicken they sell from a partner ranch, Big Bluff, and it was not up to Stemple Creek standards. We tried every type of cut & the chicken was gamey & funky tasting, the flavor was so unappetizing. I hope Stemple adds chickens & turkeys to their “flock,” they’d do them right!
Stemple Creek Ranch was the best decision we made for our wedding. When we toured the ranch initially, it was love at first sight. It felt comforting and inviting every time we visited. The ranch did not disappoint on the day of our wedding either. The trees stood tall, the fall flowers were in bloom, and the sky was painted with beautiful colors amongst the golden rolling hills. Additionally, the site managers, Lauren and Katie, are also the best humans. We are so grateful for them. They were flexible and supportive throughout the whole wedding process. They also added so much joy to the day of our wedding as well. Stemple Creek Ranch will always hold a special place in our hearts because our favorite day was there. We can’t wait to come back to visit one day.
