PRESS RELEASE:
English Cowboy, Nigel Turner, weds Lesley Erin Gargan
at The Historic Grand Canyon West Ranch
Nigel Turner, President and CEO of Heli USA Airways in Las Vegas, the Grand
Canyon and Hawaii, married commercial producer, Lesley Erin Gargan, in a
private ceremony at his 160 square mile Grand Canyon West Ranch in Meadview,
Arizona on September 16, 2006.
On the day of the wedding, the bride, groom and seventy guests boarded
Turner’s Heli USA jet helicopters in Las Vegas, and thirty-five minutes
later were treated to a spectacular tour of the Grand Canyon. Soaring over
the Colorado River below the canyon rim, they landed shortly afterwards on a
high hilltop overlooking Grand Canyon West Ranch on the west rim of the
Grand Canyon.
Prior to the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and hearty western
appetizers while being entertained by the Grand Canyon West Ranch musicians,
plus a magic show featuring one of Las Vegas’ most skilled magicians,
Jeffrey Richards.
As the sun was setting, Nigel, dressed in an authentic 1800’s “Deadwood
Sheriff” outfit (compliments of Deadwood costumer, United American Costume),
arrived to the ceremony with his groomsmen on horseback. The bride, wearing
a custom designed ivory wedding gown (by movie courtier, Allison Leach),
came up in a flower-bedecked horsedrawn wagon with her bridesmaids.
The majestic mountain, Spirit Mountain, added to the spectacular beauty of
the wedding ceremony. Considered sacred by ancient Native Americans, Spirit
Mountain brilliantly caught the fiery orange and red colors of the setting
sun.
After the ceremony, Lesley and Nigel had one more surprise... a gunfight!
Grand Canyon West Ranch was previously owned by the legendary gunfighter,
Tap Duncan, who rode with Billy the Kid and the Hole In The Wall Gang in
Colorado. At twilight, “Tap” attempted to kidnap the bride, but was quickly
stopped by the long arm of the law, Sheriff Turner! After a hilarious
barroom brawl and a gunfight leaving Nigel victorious, Lesley and Nigel were
formally introduced to their guests as Mr. and Mrs. Turner.
At the reception, wine and champagne flowed freely as Grand Canyon West
Ranch’s private event chef prepared grilled artichoke and avocado gazpacho
with a vegetable kabob on a rosemary skewer followed by a duet of Spirit
Mountain Salmon and Diamond Bar Elk served with horseradish mashed potatoes
and asparagus. The wedding cake was a miniature replica of Grand Canyon West
Ranch, Spirit Mountain and a Heli USA helicopter. The evening ended with
dancing to the music of the Grand Canyon West Ranch musicians (including a
ragtime piano player, fiddler and two guitarists), followed by roasted
marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers by an outdoor cowboy campfire.
Guests who stayed the night at the ranch were treated to comfortable
accommodations in rustic pine cabins with log fires or authentic Indian
tipis under the stars. The next morning, guests enjoyed a wedding breakfast
before flying back to Las Vegas with a morning view of the Grand Canyon and
a tour over the Las Vegas Strip.
