The entire Freight team was phenomenal to work with. The entire coordination process was streamlined and stress free. Nothing was missed, and everyone was a joy to work with and to be around. On top of everything, their vendor suggestions were top tier. Our day would not have been the same without this venue.

If you want to wow friends and family with a spectacular wedding, have it at Piney. The amount of compliments my husband and I have received on the venue, food, staff, atmosphere, everything was above and beyond - and we have Piney and the incredible Piney staff to thank for making our wedding so unforgettable. We had our wedding the last day of the season - end of September - and the Aspen leaves were amazing. We had not one, not two, but three moose show up, bald eagles flying over us during our wedding vows, and sunshine. It was the most magical day of my life. Beyond the incredible setting, the staff at Piney made the whole planning experience wonderful. We didn't worry about a single thing, because Hollie and Mo kept us organized, suggested ideas to bring our wedding vision to life, and helped us make our dream wedding a reality. We stayed at the cabins with friends after the wedding reception wrapped up and had the opportunity to stay up late, sitting around a campfire, and talking about all of the wonderful memories from the day. I wouldn't change a single thing. The amount of family and friends who have told my husband and I that it was the best wedding they had ever been to reinforces that it isn't just my rose colored post-wedding love bubble doing the talking here, this venue is a show stopper.

I know that sounds like an exaggeration but the team at Vail Resorts really did save our wedding. My partner and I were originally planning on a destination wedding and when we had to very quickly shift those plans -- four months before our wedding date -- the team made everything so seamless, were so accommodating, and made us feel supported. The communication is quick and they never hesitate to talk through questions. We're so thankful we ended up working with them!

WOW. Cannot say enough about how special this venue is. The massive mountain vistas, wide open spaces, fresh air and coziness; this place has is magical. If you are looking for a venue to escape to the mountains and craft a purposeful weekend full of your favorite people in a rustic, outdoor paradise, you've found it. We got married in mid July on the ranch and had the full weekend to enjoy time with loved ones. From the very beginning, Allison was flexible and genuinely wanted to know how to help make our day a success. This is not your traditional cookie-cutter venue and is such an exceptional place to really make your wedding YOURS. All of the basics are there but none of the frilly bells and whistles we didn't need. The property is massive and so picturesque with sweeping plains and big mountains all around. The space is so accommodating for whatever you want to dream up for your special day and perhaps most unique of all, it can be rented for an entire weekend as a place to stay and celebrate with those you love so you don't need to try to squeeze everything into a single evening. We had a relaxed welcome event with a taco truck, beers and yard games on Friday night as an excuse to spend some extra time with out of town guests. As it cooled down, everyone gathered around the firepits trading stories. The night before really took pressure off of the wedding day and the meadow within the ranch was so perfect. There is even a saloon with a whole selection of games (ping-pong, cornhole, horseshoes) already there to enjoy. This also served as a fabulous indoor space for 15 minutes right after our ceremony on Saturday when we had a quick afternoon thunderstorm roll through. The barn was cozy and a perfect space for dancing during the reception. We danced until 2 am and although our vendors all trickled out when their roles were done, there was no cut-off time at the venue itself so we were able to dance all night long. This is incredibly unique. Very few venues allow this. We fell in love with the views first but truly could not have imagined a more fabulous, relaxed space for our celebration. Thank you Guyton Ranch! It will forever be a special place in our hearts.

My husband and I knew from the beginning that we wanted an intimate wedding surrounded by close family and friends, and to have it somewhere intimate and in nature. As a professional wedding photographer myself, Idlewild Ridge Ranch provided everything we wanted and more! The potential for photos on their ranch is never-ending. We got married on a peak fall weekend and their huge grove of aspen trees were lit up in gold and absolutely stunning! Our guests absolutely loved how convenient and easy it was to get to the venue, but how secluded it felt at the same time. It was close enough to Colorado Springs that everyone could drive up for the day and go home the same day. But, don't worry! If you book a wedding here, you can have the venue for the weekend and the ranch has glamping and a lodge cabin for some of your family members or out-of-town guests to stay at. It was truly the best weekend and wedding day ever! There's a tree swing, lots of outdoor games, fire pits, and so much more! If you're looking for an intimate setting and to have a ranch all to yourself for a full wedding weekend, look no further! The feel of seclusion, but the convenience of being within driving distance of Woodland Park and Colorado Springs at the same time. I could talk about the staff for days! The Ranch is family owned, and they are a breath of fresh air to work with! Definitely reach out to them, and definitely set up a tour with them if you're wanting a secluded, intimate wedding.
