“My husband and I had a list of venues to look at. Estes Park was a big wish and once we toured Della Terra, we canceled all other showings and booked immediately. Best decision and no regrets. We really wanted a weekend wedding. Della Terra has incredible suites AND cute cabins on-site, all with hot tubs. This allowed our entire wedding party and family to book and stay onsite. We booked two years in advance which helped us take advantage of the availability. This meant no driving around the day of, breakfast included onsite, and being able to socialize and hangout with family and friends the night before, the morning of and the evening after the wedding. Not to mention our guests were spoiled to stay at such a gorgeous venue with incredible suites. Ashlyn J was our wedding coordinator. Which was included in our package. This was a huge bonus. We had 3 meetings throughout the planning, virtual made it easy, and we created our timeline from there. Della Terra has a bunch of unique opportunities onsite like pedal toss for photos and cocktail hour on the patio and late night nacho bar! We even had dancing and reception outside!! I didn’t know what to expect but Ashlyn was incredible. She was so upbeat, friendly, positive and helpful. From the very first meeting we were impressed and felt confident she had us covered. I really valued the fact that Della Terra had a wedding coordinator included for us. I think it made a world of difference and really showed the value to myself but also my family. They couldn’t say enough good things about the entire experience and Ashlyn and Piper and the team! Piper made all our guests feel welcomed and she made me feel super calm before going down the aisle. I knew our rehearsal would be chaotic because it was the first day and I had a huge wedding party. Ashlyn made it so smooth and easy. It honestly was a great first step at putting everyone at ease and they just started to enjoy the weekend and let things be because Ashlyn had it covered. The woman’s get ready room is absolutely stunning and we got to walk right out to the patio throughout the day and enjoyed the perfect weather. We used all vendors that worked with the venue often or in house. This also allowed for a smooth set up and take down. I never saw a contract and I didn’t have to worry because they were used to the venue. Definitely recommend doing it that way. Overall I highly recommend this venue. My wedding was a dream come true. The best day of my life and I couldn’t thank Wedgewood weddings enough for all the care and support they put into our day. Thank you!!!! Photo cred: @lizosban Instagram and Facebook”

“It's just easier to copy this from a thank you note I sent to Jess at Strauss Cabin Farmhouse: Our anniversary party was a blast, thanks in no small part to Kiera and your crew. When we arrived, everything was set up and nothing major needed tweaking. Kiera was wonderful throughout the evening. She was helpful, and always so very kind. She was so wonderful to work with. Our family and friends were very impressed with venue. We definitely will return for our next parties! Thank you again for your help with this. I enjoyed working with you to plan the party which you all executed to perfection.”
