Why 2025 couples should pick Double Diamond X for their Wedding Venue.

After another year photographing weddings at the Double Diamond X Ranch in Cody, Wyoming I wanted to give some insight on this venue as a photographer.

Lets get into it!

This venue includes:

  • Getting Ready Spaces

  • Ceremony Location

  • Reception Location

  • Lodging for Guests

Lets get into it!

Getting Ready Spaces:

The Shoshone Cabin is the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready in. This roomy cabin that can accommodate up to 10 guests has all the natural light and room for you to get ready with your friends on the morning of your wedding.

The giant window in the living room of this cabin is the location for iconic dress photos, beautiful views while you get ready, and a great spot to peek out at your guests as the arrive to the ceremony site just down the road.

Ceremony Site:

The ceremony site is riverside and has a beautiful, mountainous backdrop for your guests to enjoy while they watch your ceremony.

Reception Space:

The reception space is at the center of the venue and is closest to the cabins your guests can rent out. There is no need to worry about how your guests will get home after the festivities!

Everyone is within walking distance of most cabins.

The reception space has a boardwalk that makes walking from there to the bar safe and easy for your guests. A wrap around porch gives plenty of room for your guests to mingle during cocktail hour and take in the beautiful views.

There are tables and chairs that the venue has on hand. The lighting fixtures are already up. They look great in photos and it is so convenient that they are already set up.

The yard surrounding the reception space is always groomed well. There is space for corn hole or other yard games and a fire pit.

Bar:

This venue comes with a bar in the building adjacent to the reception venue or a mobile one that can be brought out to the reception space. The bar has seating and a pool table. This is also in the same building as the groom and his groomsmen tend to get ready. It is a great spot for the guys to hang out.

Bridal Portrait Opportunities:

Double Diamond is the premier venue for spectacular bridal portraits! There are countless locations within walking distance of the reception and Shoshone Cabin that offers beauty and grandeur that is unmatched elsewhere.

Why Double Diamond X Ranch for your Wyoming wedding?

Overall, this venue is a beautiful accommodation for you and your guests. This venue has rustic charm and ticks all the boxes for me as a photographer.

  • Getting ready space accommodates larger bridal parties for both bridesmaids and groomsmen.

  • Cabins ensure a comfortable and safe enjoyment for your guests.

  • Ceremony space is easy to get to and requires no set up from the couple or their family.

This venue is perfect for couples who have guests coming in from various places to witness their wedding. It shows off the beautiful terrain of Wyoming throughout your entire experience while keeping your guests safe and accommodated.
