  • The Wedding of Our Dreams

    In July 2024, we had our wedding reception at Lucky 8 Ranch, and we can't say enough good things about our experience! When we first toured the venue shortly after getting engaged, we immediately knew that this would be our dream wedding location. We toured other venues in the greater Steamboat area too, but Lucky 8 stood out to us. Not only is the ranch absolutely stunning, but the folks who work there are very kind, caring, and hardworking. This proved to be the case even more-so as Nick offered a great deal of hand-holding throughout the entire planning process, and went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. My family primarily traveled from the NJ/NY area, and my husband's from ND, SD, MN and NE. We really wanted to offer our guests a Western experience, and the stunning mountain views, beautifully decorated tent, and even an unexpected afternoon thunderstorm (which was handled so gracefully by Nick and his staff!) was the perfect way to show our guests what Colorado is all about. Thank you, Lucky 8, for making our dream wedding come true!

    Lucky 8 Ranch was the perfect choice for our Steamboat wedding. We wanted a mountain/western, outdoor vibe, and we couldn't have found a better place for it. Nick and the Lucky 8 team were great to work with and super flexible in helping us bring our vision to life. They have a large inventory of furniture and decor to choose from, which made it easy to create the event and look we wanted, and they executed it perfectly. The venue itself is beautiful—amazing views, bison roaming nearby, and a fun lawn for cocktail hour, and a nice tent that they can set up however you like. It did take some extra work to find and coordinate all of the 3rd-party vendors needed, but it was worth it and Nick was willing to provide recommendations and answer any questions throughout the process. Highly recommend this place!

    Lucky 8 Ranch should consistently be the first venue that people who wish to get married in Steamboat, and experience Colorado the right way, should be using. Nick and his wife, besides being excellent hosts, are the most genuine people who made our special day feel like it was one of a kind and not just another day for them. They helped us throughout the process, and their knowledge and respect for the land allowed us to have full access to L8R for our wedding. The venue itself is picturesque with views of Sleeping Giant, rolling hills, bison (up close and personal if you’re lucky), and gorgeous sunsets. Nick helped us get incredible sunset pictures. If you’re looking for a smooth experience and experiencing Colorado to the fullest, this is your spot!

    We couldn't be more happy with our decision to have our wedding at Lucky 8. The ranch, view, and surrounding area are stunning (at any time of year). Nick, Emily, and the rest of the staff we're the best vendors we worked for our big day. They are easy to work with, very accommodating, knowledgable, and very hard working. The quality of the amenities provided, from the tent to the restrooms to the bars, is top notch. Lucky 8 has an incredible amount of decorations, furniture, games, and more that you can choose from to really make the venue your own. Nick has some features that we could not find anywhere else, that truly made our day so perfect (horse drawn carriage for our ceremony exit). While we had some weather before the ceremony, the staff at Lucky 8 was quick to adapt and ensure everything went smoothly. They even have some very special and memorable things for the bride and groom to do on their big day that brand their love at the ranch forever.
