If you are reading this review it will be long so hunker down! To say I was happy with this venue does not even come close to how great of a job they did! This venue is amazing and everything about it was perfect! We got married on 4/23/23 here and loved it! We just wished it hadn't gone by so fast! From the staff to the location everything was phenomenal and wish I could give them a higher rating because this was THE BEST place to get married! We had an encounter with everyone in the office from the start and they are all amazing and are so kind and helpful! I would 110% get married here again because it is such a beautiful location. The Creekside ceremony space where we had our ceremony is what sold me on this venue! They provide a binder for planning with the meeting dates as well and help you all along the way with the planning process. They offer several different packages depending on what you're looking for and each one is customizable too which makes life so easy! They offer three different options for the ceremony space and they are all beautiful. They have the indoor spot in the rotunda, the lawn space, and the creekside. The creekside spot was an immediate yes and again is what sold me on having this as our venue. The sounds of the creek and the beautiful trees just make this place stunning to say the least. The photos turn out amazing as well with the beautiful location and foliage! This venue is great as well because they include everything except the clothing and decor. They have options for the food, flowers, cake, place settings, ceremony and reception space, officiant, wedding planner (sort of), DJ, and pretty much anything else you need for the wedding. Every single person that works here is so nice and helpful. We worked with pretty much everyone throughout the planning all the way up to the wedding day. They offer a planning binder that walks you through the beginning all the way until the end and that binder was a saving grace and made the planning process so much easier and smoother. They do several planning meetings to make sure your day goes perfectly and make any changes you may have along the way. Just a great process all along the way! The food they offer is phenomenal as well and the company that they cater through did a phenomenal job and I wish I had access to it outside of the wedding. They offer a separate tasting for the couple as well so you don't miss out on the cocktail hour foods too which was great! If I had to redo everything I would not change a single thing and I have referred several people to this exact venue as well as the company because of how great of an experience we had. Have your wedding here and you will not regret it.

We hosted our 100 person wedding this September with Lionscrest and we could not have asked for a better experience. Not only is the venue itself beautiful with the outdoor lawn and indoor reception areas, but the staff is knowledgable and very friendly! We emailed them at least once a week for about a year with questions throughout the planning process and they were very responsive and clear with their communications. The day of the wedding went very smooth thanks to the expertise of the staff, they knew exactly what to do and were so nice in guiding us through the day. Also, their caterer (Greenspoint Catering) was surprisingly delicious!

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. I love being able to look back at our wedding day and appreciate how unique our experience was. This venue is a must see!

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

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at Flagstaff House for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like our special day was just as important to them as it was to us. I had a tall order - I began planning my wedding just 2 and a half months before I had set the date, which was also my birthday, and over a holiday weekend. Hosting a party of 45, we were amazed by the level of attention and detail the staff provided. They were not only helpful in the planning stages but also went above and beyond on the day itself. The atmosphere was beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We did the whole package for a daytime wedding, the ceremony and reception and lunch. I was so happy to be blessed with perfect weather as well as wild turkeys and hawks around the venue. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the staff’s professionalism and genuine care truly made our day unforgettable. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning views and exquisite service. The food was impressive, and the cake was delicious (I hear - I didn't get a piece! Busy bride!) If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance with a personal touch, Flagstaff House is the place! We are so grateful for their hard work in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Thank you, Flagstaff House, for giving us a day we will cherish forever!

The St Vrain is such a beautiful venue with intentionally decorated spaces. Mark and Annie were wonderful to work with and very communicative. We got married in April and unfortunately were unlucky with the weather, however, we didn’t have to worry much since the St Vrain is primarily indoors, spacious and was easily able to accommodate our 120 guests. Some of their recommended vendors were out of our price range so we had to do a little additional research to find the right vendors for us. Overall, we are extremely glad we chose the St Vrain.

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 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!

The rooms are clean and modern but feel homey and comfortable. Breakfast was great and a nice amenity to have. We were surprised by champagne in our room when we arrived.

What Makes Colorado's Wedding Venues Unique?

You'll find sophisticated urban elegance at the Grand Hyatt Denver right alongside the rustic charm of Spruce Mountain Ranch. Every window at the Flagstaff House Restaurant frames breathtaking mountain vistas while Tapestry House By Wedgewood Weddings pairs Victorian beauty with meticulously maintained gardens. Mountain View Ranch takes indoor-outdoor flow to the next level with retractable walls that let you seamlessly connect with nature while keeping guests comfortable. When it comes to costs you'll be pleasantly surprised - Colorado venues typically run between $6,000 and $6,800, which falls on the lower end of what you'd pay nationally where prices range from $6,500 to $12,000.
