Awarded Best of Zola
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. No matter which space couples choose, both locations offer breathtaking mountain views in every season. We’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings here throughout the year, each with its own unique touch of Colorado’s ever-changing weather. On top of that, the team at Spruce Mountain Ranch is incredible to work with, ensuring every wedding day runs smoothly. It’s always a pleasure to return to this stunning venue! If you're looking for a wedding venue that blends rustic charm with modern elegance, Spruce Mountain Ranch is a fantastic choice.

We wholeheartedly give The Lodge at Cathedral Pines five stars! The natural setting in the Black Forest with their beautiful water features and wonderfully natural atmosphere felt like our favorite camping spot, not a typical wedding hall, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding had 80 guests, and the space felt perfectly full, making it ideal for a smaller more intimate wedding. Working with Shalece was amazing! She was friendly, helpful, and always patient, even when I asked repeat questions. She made the entire process stress-free. We took advantage of the all inclusive package and are so glad we did! Every included vendor was wonderful to work with, and their services were exactly what we wanted. It saved us so much time, and honestly, the vendors included were the exact ones we would have chosen ourselves. Thank you, Lodge at Cathedral Pines, for providing us with the perfect wedding that our guests are still talking about a month later!

Pikes Peak Ranch was the perfect venue for our Colorado dream wedding. The ceremony area and reception venue are gorgeous. All of our guests kept saying how they want to come back just for the views! The natural beauty and location is what drew us to the venue but the team is what made our wedding amazing. It was like having friends open up their home for your wedding. Throughout planning, responses were quick and thoughtful. They helped us find amazing vendors, gave us guidance on how best to use the space, and were ready to talk through every detail no matter how small.

Our family group of 20 didn’t leave the property once during our five day stay. The lodge is overly spacious with amazing views of Pikes Peak in the distance and the wedding space was perfect for our group (but could easily have accommodated larger groups). I would highly recommend TihsreeD for anyone looking for a remote mountain getaway, and we hope to be able to visit again soon!

We had our wedding at The Ramble and stayed for multiple nights leading up to and after the special day. I have zero complaints about our whole stay, everything was perfect. The venue is stunning. The food and drinks were delicious. The rooms were very cute and comfortable. The staff were so kind, friendly, and helpful to us and our guests. They went out of their way multiple times to ensure our comfort and it was so appreciated. Leading up to the day, they were very communicative and so welcoming with each visit we made. Planning the wedding from out of state, they truly took so much pressure off our plate. Tessa and her team absolutely killed it, and it shows in how smoothly they are able to run an event. We’re so thankful they helped create a special day for us.

What Makes Colorado's Wedding Venues Unique?

Colorado's wedding venues offer something truly special, blending architectural diversity with stunning natural scenery.
