“We had the chance to DJ a wedding here recently and it was absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony takes place right down by the Colorado River, which creates a really special, intimate setting with the water and canyon walls all around you. From there, guests head up to the reception area on the terrace, which overlooks the river and mountains—such a cool transition and a great way to separate the spaces. The patio setup for dinner and dancing is beautiful and feels very “Colorado.” Overall, it’s a really unique venue that combines a true outdoor experience with a polished reception space. Definitely a great option for couples looking for something memorable and a little different. — Nathan & Kyann Firefly Entertainment”

“Spruce Mountain Ranch is one of our favorite venues to photograph, offering two distinct yet equally beautiful spaces. Lower Ranch has a warm, intimate feel with its darker wood tones and grand stone fireplace, along with multiple gorgeous ceremony locations. Upper Ranch, on the other hand, is bright and spacious, featuring lighter wood, soaring ceilings, and an open design that can accommodate larger weddings—something we always appreciate.

“I cannot say enough great things about this venue. My husband and I got married here this past weekend and everything was spectacular from start to finish. The oaks was the last venue we toured when planning a wedding, but we knew as soon as we walked in it would be the one! The staff are so accommodating and kind. They answered all our questions along the way. They have various meal and bar options and all the food is fantastic! Not to mention the grounds are breath taking! The bridal and groom suites are as large as air bnbs and so stunning! The grooms suite even has a golf simulator haha. I loved having an outside patio to retreat to during the chaos. We got the venue day buy out which allowed us to come in at 10am and guys at 12 get hair and make up done early, eat, drink, and lounge for hours while getting ready. The cocktail hour and ballroom overlook beautiful Colorado mountain scenery, golf course, and the town of castle rock. The reception/bar area is so fun and sleek. All our guests raved about how amazing the service and food was. Justin was our 30 day coordinator and so easy to work with. He helped us with all our decor drop off and load up at end of night. He answered all of our many questions with ease. I can’t recommend him enough. Please if you are even considering it , book this place for your wedding! You will not be sorry! also a perk is if you stay at the Inverness Hilton on a block they offer shuttle service to and from for free!”

“Cherokee Ranch & Castle feels like you’ve stepped into another country and another era the second you drive up. The architecture alone is stunning, but once you walk inside, it gets even better. The interior is layered with history, rich mahogany, intricate details, and rooms that feel dramatic in the best way. Every corner photographs beautifully. The staff was incredibly accommodating and professional throughout the day. Organized, attentive, and kind, which matters more than people realize when timelines are tight and emotions are high. There are endless photo opportunities here. The interior gives you moody, romantic, old world vibes. The grounds open up to sweeping Colorado views. And the rooftop view is an absolute must. The scenery from up there is unreal and gives couples something that feels cinematic and timeless. If you want grandeur, history, and something that genuinely feels different from the typical ballroom venue, this is it. From a photographer’s perspective, it is a dream location.”
