“We had our wedding at Lionscrest Manor through Wedgewood Weddings, and it was truly the best decision we made. From the very beginning, the entire planning process was organized, seamless, and so much less stressful because of the incredible Wedgewood team. Their communication was excellent, the staff was kind, professional, attentive, and they genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without worrying about the details. They truly made our dream wedding a reality. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The mountain views are stunning, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was!! It created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony.

“Incredible. The Flagstaff House exceeded our expectations in every way. When we were initially brainstorming our wedding we wanted to prioritize the food and the music, aiming for a "supper club" vibe, and Flagstaff certainly knocked it out of the park. We decided on a day time lunch wedding and it was so much fun. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible the event was - the 5 star food, the delicious drinks, the wait staff's attentiveness, the VIEWS. Annie coordinated our event and she was absolutely wonderful. A true professional who is accommodating to all ends. Even when we weren't sure about something, Annie was always there with an excellent suggestion on how to execute. The wait staff come around and take drink orders, as opposed to the typical wedding bar that has a huge line. The kitchen accommodated all food and allergy restrictions with ease, and the bar staff even created some delicious fall cocktails on our behalf. We couldn't be happier with our ceremony overlooking the flatiron mountains. The location is truly special. They've made us raving fans and we will certainly be back for a "regular" dinner service soon.”
