Weddings & large parties
Wedding venue in the Ore Mountains.
Say yes under the open sky, celebrate in the Big Horn Saloon and wake up right here the next morning: at Silver Rock Ranch in Elterlein near Chemnitz your wedding becomes a ranch wedding with western flair, plenty of space and horses in sight.
All in one place
Ceremony, party and overnight stay at the ranch.
Many free wedding ceremonies have already taken place at Silver Rock Ranch. No shuttle bus between venue and hotel: the ceremony spot, the party room and the beds are just a few steps apart.
Free ceremony
Choose your ceremony spot under the open sky on the spacious ranch grounds – between pastures, horses and fresh Ore Mountains air.

Extras for your guests
Our indoor golf simulator and football darts keep your guests entertained between coffee and party.
Golf & football dartsincluded in the exclusive ranch wedding
Free ceremony
Say yes under the open sky – or in the riding arena.
Our round wooden platform between old trees is the outdoor ceremony spot, with a view of paddocks and horses. The free ceremony is included in every ranch wedding – just let us know when you book. Couples have also said yes in the decorated riding arena and celebrated their first dance there.
Bad-weather plan: A ceremony in the riding arena is possible on request. A floor has to be laid for it – we clarify the cost with you in advance.
Impressions
