Spruce Mountain was the best venue we could have possibly chosen. My fiancé was sold from the pictures online and when we toured, I spent the whole time just breathless. We were on the upper ranch with the ceremony on Trey's Vista (stunning), cocktail hour in the Spruce Room, and reception in the Ponderosa Room. Communication with them was easy, Tara was our representative and she happily answered all of our questions and communicated seamlessly without overloading our inbox. She even provided me with a preferred vendors list of vendors they have worked with before which created a great starting place for finding vendors. I was a bit skeptical of their requirement of a Day of Coordinator, but I am so thankful that they required it. We didn't have to lift a finger on the wedding day, I wasn't being asked a million questions, it was fantastic. On the wedding day, our property manager came to introduce herself and told us where to find her if we needed her, there was music playing on the TV in the bridal suite, everything was so clean and perfectly set up to start the day. All of our guests could not stop raving about the venue - the views at the ceremony site, having separate spaces for each part of the day, the mix of indoor and outdoor space for the cocktail hour and reception, and so many said "this sets my bar so high for weddings". If I could do my wedding all over again, I would book Spruce with no hesitation!!

We absolutely highly recommend Della Terra Mountain Chateau! From the moment we arrived, the team made our dream wedding come to life in every possible way. Thanks to their meticulous planning, our day flowed effortlessly, allowing my husband and I to simply enjoy the celebration without any worries. Special shoutout to Rachel and Cayce for orchestrating the day. The Della Terra team was friendly, professional, and so much fun! They even joined in on the fun by taking pictures in our photo booth, showing just how invested they were in making our experience perfect. It felt like they truly wanted everything to go exactly as we envisioned. The venue itself is breathtaking. The atmosphere is incredibly romantic and elegant, which fit the tone of our wedding day perfectly. The beauty of the venue provided the ideal setting, and the views of the mountains were a stunning backdrop for both our ceremony and photos. The food was absolutely divine! We couldn't get enough of the chicken and Brussels sprouts, but every dish we tasted was equally amazing. We were so impressed by the quality of the meal and the variety offered. Getting ready was a breeze thanks to the spacious salon, which easily accommodated our bridal party of seven. The guys loved their time in the theater area with its projector screen and comfortable recliners. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort and experience. Della Terra Mountain Chateau’s gazebo entrance for the bride was the perfect dramatic touch, and it really wowed everyone. The mountain views behind the venue made for breathtaking photos we will cherish forever. Overall, our experience was flawless, and we truly can’t recommend this venue enough. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, stress-free wedding day, Della Terra is the place to go!

Snow Mountain Ranch was the best venue for our wedding. We reserved a family reunion cabin for our family to stay on-site all weekend, while our friends booked rooms at the lodges, and everyone was able to participate in summer camp activities. A highlight was the tubing hill and the waterfall hike! We also reserved the Mountain Air Cookout Shelter for the reception, and we were able to choose our own caterers. We opted for a pizza truck and a paella chef, and they were a big hit! The shelter was perfectly rustic and had a mountain vibe with excellent views, and SMR provided lawn games outside during our cocktail hour. We were also happy that we could bring our dogs to the reception, and they had a fun time too. There was also a fire pit at the reception site, so we lit a campfire when it got cold after dark. SMR also put us in touch with a local bartender and DJ, Marcie, who knew the venue well and kept the drinks flowing and the dance floor packed all night. The event coordinator, Stephanie, was very communicative throughout the planning process, and I think that everything went perfectly!

We were so lucky to book this venue for our wedding on 08/30/25 — it truly made our dream come true. You can immediately tell that this is a well-run, professional, and caring venue. During our initial tour at WBL, Codi was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable. We fell in love with the venue right away. Here’s a breakdown of the highlights we think you’ll love when considering this venue: View: The view is what sealed the deal for us. The outdoor ceremony space is absolutely breathtaking. They even have “alcoholic llamas” (our nickname for them!) that carry beverages on their backs. We had them during our cocktail hour, and our guests LOVED it. Cost: The venue includes catering and several beverage package options. The pricing is reasonable and not overly expensive for this area, especially considering everything that’s included. Food: Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food — it was delicious! We even had them incorporate local wild mushrooms into our menu, which was such a special touch. Location: Our guests stayed in Estes Park, and we arranged a shuttle service to and from the lodge. It made transportation easy and convenient for everyone. Amenities: The venue recently underwent renovations, and everything looks beautiful. My hair and makeup artists, photographer, and videographer all commented on how stunning the bridal suite was. There are two adjoining rooms — one with plenty of vanity mirrors and another with private curtained sections for changing. Coordinator: Now for the best part — the coordination team! Lauren was our wedding coordinator, and she was absolutely AMAZING. She stayed on top of every detail throughout the planning process and took such great care of us on our wedding day. She always responded promptly to my (many!) emails and was incredibly helpful and kind. On the big day, Lauren handled everything — setting up décor, keeping the timeline on track, coordinating with vendors, checking in with our families, and even making sure we were fed whenever possible. I have no idea how she managed it all while still smiling the entire time! The entire WBL team was fantastic — well-coordinated, attentive, and professional. Because of them, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our day without any stress. We are so thankful to WBL for giving us such a seamless, magical wedding experience. It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. With love, Kearny and Ryan

Food trucks are welcome or we had a caterer set up a lovely buffet. It's a very "Colorado" experience ...don your cowboy boots and jeans and kick back the night before your wedding.

We rented out the back room and bar, and some bowling lanes which led to lots of laughs and friendly competition (my husband even broke the punching machine record at 936!).

When my husband and I (who met at CU) realized that the University of Colorado had started renting space as a wedding venue, we knew we had to see it. Besides both being huge football fans, CU was also very near and dear to our hearts because it was the place that originally brought us together. The views from the rooftop are absolutely breathtaking and the staff worked hard to make sure everything was exactly the way we asked and planned for.

When we began to plan our wedding, it was important for us to create an experience that honored and celebrated our friends and family. The Flagstaff exceeded our expectations on every front and every single guest commented on how much they loved the venue - from the amazing food, the wonderful team, and the breathtaking views. One friend said she’d never seen a wedding so well staffed before, another said they’d never seen a menu with such amazing entree options, and everyone shared that it was the best cake they’ve ever had (and I don’t even like cake!) Working with Annie and the team was a joy - she was highly communicative, accommodating, and such an advocate for our vision. Every request and idea was met with solutions and options - from adding multiple red wines to changing the layout to create a stage for our band. It was the most special way to celebrate the most special day - we are so grateful to the entire Flagstaff team for helping us celebrate

The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is the perfect venue for a romantic, intimate, and artsy wedding. This venue is truly a hidden gem! I would highly recommend BMoCA to any couple looking to break free from the typical cookie-cutter wedding venues. The venue fee was reasonable, and the best part is that the fee goes back to the museum to support local artists and future exhibits. Bonus: Since the museum is open to the public, you can pop in anytime to enjoy the exhibits and envision your wedding. From the start, the team at BMoCA was fast, thorough, and incredibly kind in guiding us through the whole process. They partner with Three Leaf Catering, who provided absolutely delicious food and drinks and have it nailed down from A-Z. The museum provided beautiful rentals, including overhead twinkly lights that were perfect for the reception. Since there is so much art and a great brick wall backdrop, we saved a lot on decor costs. The art was on display for guests to enjoy, creating fun conversations and a stunning atmosphere. This is the perfect venue for a small to medium-sized wedding. While you can use the park space outside for the ceremony, we opted for an indoor ceremony that was beautiful and rain-free. Our guests had a great time and we had our dream wedding!

Katie was professional, communicative and accommodating throughout the wedding process. The guests who stayed at Moxy raved about the modern hotel features, the roof top views and the location, which really provides the best of both worlds in Boulder: it is a 15-20min walk from both downtown Boulder and the famous Chautauqua Park. I really appreciate Moxy Boulder providing an excellent experience to my friends and family during our wedding weekend.
