Go East High!

At the ranch, we do more than just weddings, company picnics, and birthday parties.  We also do private parties, like high school reunions.  It is always so much fun to be a part of these events because we get the chance to hear our guests' stories and share their memories.

Awhile ago, East High School's Class of 1958 held their reunion luncheon at Faulkner's Ranch so we got a chance to enjoy their blast to the past.

What stood out so much about this reunion was the decor.  It was more than just the school colors.  It was a piece of history right out of their yearbooks.

Just take a look at this cheerleading uniform that they had on display by the stage:

Isn't that a fun idea?  Seeing that must have brought back so many memories of Friday night football games.  The skirts have gotten a little shorter since then, haven't they? ;o)

They also showed their school pride with their centerpieces.

We love the use of the megaphones.  It is such a simple idea, but it adds the perfect touch of school spirit.

They also paid tribute to those that had passed with a beautiful "In Memoriam" wall collage...

Below the collage they had a memorabilia table complete with cheer sweaters, yearbooks, and photos.

It was easy to see that the alumni really enjoyed looking through this display.  It was such a nice way to honor the memory of those who were no longer with them by remembering the good ole times.

Of course, we can't forget to mention the band!  They were still rockin' after all these years and provided the perfect entertainment for the afternoon.

Overall, this was such a fun event!

 Thanks again to the Class of '58 for sharing their good times with us!

If you would like to consider Faulkner's Ranch for your next class reunion, send us an e-mail today!

Have a great day, ya'll!

An Beautiful Arbor and More {Young Wedding}

It's time to showcase another beautiful wedding!

This particular wedding had lots of beautiful details.

One of the things that really stood out was the STUNNING arbor decor.

Our arbor is a permanent fixture here at Faulkner's Ranch and is used as the ceremony focal point for the majority of our weddings.  We love seeing how each bride and florist make it their own.  In the case of this wedding, the arbor was absolutely beautiful!

Just see for yourself...

The only thing that was more beautiful than the arbor? The bride of course!

We were able to snap these photos of her just a few minutes before she walked down the aisle to say "I do."

Just look at that train! GORGEOUS!

Another thing that we loved about this wedding was how they incorporated the color red.  Red is such a bright, bold color that too much can be overwhelming.  However, they chose the perfect amount in the perfect places!

There was the beautiful bouquet...

The vest and bow tie on the handsome ring bearer...

The pop of red ribbons around the cake (complete with Goku cake topper)...

They even had a red themed candy bar! YUM!

This wedding was just beautiful all around.

Congratulations once again to Mr. and Mrs. Young! Here's wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love!

Another Happy Client {Musicians Friend}

We've said it before, but we'll say it again...

One of the most rewarding parts of our job is when we open up our inbox after an event to find a sweet note from a client. So, you can imagine just how happy we were when we got this e-mail from the awesome people at Musician's Friend.

Just wanted to shout out to you and your team,

Musician’s Friend had an amazing time at Faulkner’s. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and hospitality. I continue to tell everyone I know about our event and encourage them to check it out. I love receiving the emails about other events and share with all my family and friends.

Thank you,

Holly Rowlette

They also sent us these beautiful photos that their photographer took of the venue...

BONUS: A classic pie eating contest picture!

Pony Party Round-Up #2

It's time for another Pony Party Round-Up, y'all!

This is where we showcase some of our favorite ideas from recent birthday parties.

Today we are sharing with your Grace's ADORABLE 3rd birthday party!

It was an unusually warm day in March so her mama chose to have her party on the picnic tables near the pavilion.

They chose the hot dog package (always a good idea - less work for you!) and even had a face painter. But our FAVORITE thing of all was the super cute party favor buckets that were given to here guests.

Just check them out!

They were filled with LOTS of fun goodies!

She also had these adorable pony sippy cups. The kiddos LOVED these!

Hope 3 is turning out to be as awesome as you are, Grace!

Thanks again for celebrating at Faulkner's Ranch!

Ain't No Race Like a Mouse Race!

Want to throw a party that is something your guests have never experience before?

Then have we got the idea for you!

Mouse Races!

Nope, you didn't read that wrong.  We get so excited when a client chooses to have Mouse Races at their event.  Recently Nymatt chose to have a rowdy rodent night and y'all, it was SO MUCH FUN!

Casino Parties KC by Wheelin'n'Dealin provides the mouse races.  The setup is so much fun!

Here you can see the "racetrack" and the Mouse Roulette on the big screen.

Nope, you didn't read that wrong either.

Mouse Roulette is a real thing.

One of the most hilarious parts of the night is watching what people name their mice.

Gas Passer for the win.

Speaking of the mice, here are the contestants...

Nymatt really upped the stakes with some fantastic prizes.

All in all, this was such a fun night!

Thanks to Casino Parties KC and Nymatt for the laughs!
