This venue is beautiful!! We got married here in April (Mountainside ceremony, Colorado room cocktail hour and Albert’s lodge reception). It was the perfect Colorado backdrop for our out of town guests. The venue provides the chairs for ceremony, shuttle services between the ceremony and reception, and kept the fireplaces running throughout the night but the external vendors take care of pretty much everything else. Just remember that because of preferred/required vendors everything adds up quickly! We did have a great experience with all of the recommended and required vendors. The one thing I would have changed about the venue is if they could have opened the Colorado room wall/doors. It was 80 degrees but they don’t open them until after May 1.

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
The Platte River Fort is an absolutely beautiful venue! We had our wedding there and I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else. We coordinated with Cindy and she was beyond helpful helping us book and getting everything ready for our big day. The only reason I wouldn’t give this place 5 stars is all of the hidden fees that were not mentioned or included in the package we booked. Long story short, you will all of a sudden find yourself paying them hourly after you have paid for a whole package and then some. The owners and management need to be more clear on every detail. And of course as many places and events are, the alcohol and bartenders are triple the amount. It would’ve been cheaper to hire a third party bartending vendor to come serve.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Wrangler Ranch! My husband, family, and I all had such a great time—from start to finish, everything was smooth, joyful, and beautifully handled. Jordan was a dream to work with—professional, friendly, and made everything feel effortless. And the photos? They turned out stunning! We couldn’t be happier with how everything was captured. P.S.

We had our wedding at Balistreri on October 26th, and it could not have been a more perfect day thanks to the venue and the incredible staff. Mattie and Katy made the planning process a breeze, helped us pick our food out, took our wishes and feedback into account, and truly just gave us everything we could have wanted out of this day. They're incredibly flexible to your vision but will provide input and thoughts when needed, ensuring that everything is set up for success. The food and the wine is INCREDIBLE. We got so many compliments all night and after the fact about the dishes (lamb, salmon, and risotto), the appetizers, the desserts, the late night snack, and especially the cabernet. They're also incredibly accommodating to allergies, working with us for our friends and family with dietary restrictions to make sure everyone is aware of ingredients. We attended a tasting event to try a variety of food options, and then had a private tasting to finalize our menu, where Mattie and the chefs sat down with us and helped us tailor our menu to our exact wishes. The set-up, bartending, and wait stuff were all top notch - making our day run incredibly smoothly. The inclusion of chairs, linens, flatware, etc. and catering in house was a huge draw for us in terms of ease of planning. They have some highly recommended vendors for entertainment and alcohol delivery, who are not mandatory to use, but who worked seamlessly with the venue to create an easy and low stress day. Lastly, the venue is absolutely beautiful. It is set up so naturally perfectly that we barely felt the need for additional decor. The garage doors being open between the ceremony and reception spaces allowed for such a seamless flow and natural feeling cocktail hour. Our event of 120 guests fit the space wonderfully. We got married right at sunset, late in the year, and were gifted with the most gorgeous weather. I truly cannot rave enough about how wonderful it was to host at Balistreri. We had the most magical day and could not have done it without this wonderful venue. The amount of personal touches and care they put into hosting your event shows why it is such a popular and well loved place.

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.

Wild Basin Lodge exceeded our expectations for our destination wedding! My husband and I are from Florida and planned our wedding remotely over the course of 9 months. Hawley, our incredible coordinator, was with us every step of the way and made the process SO easy. From helping us select vendors and providing lodging recommendations to helping us pull off a blindfolded rehearsal the morning of the wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The setting is breathtaking, and the entire staff was wonderful. Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

My husband and I got married at the Mishawaka in June after a long engagement. Gary, the event coordinator, was amazing! I planned the wedding by myself so I had a TON of questions; Gary answered them quickly and kindly and never made me feel like I was bothering him. The event staff at the Mish were accommodating and helpful on the day of the wedding. Our outside wedding turned into an inside event quickly when it started to rain. Meg and her crew were able to pivot and set up the inside for dinner quickly, and when dinner was over and the rain stopped, they just as quickly pivoted to make sure the outside was ready for dancing and the rest of the evenings festivities. The food was delicious, the views and scenery were stunning, having a rushing river and a staggering mountain ridge in the background of my photos is so gorgeous. We got beautiful pictures by the river, and the lighting in the canyon was perfect; no sun in anybody's eyes. Not to mention, The Mishawaka offers a shuttle service, so I knew that all of my loved ones would arrive back in Fort Collins safely after a night of dancing and libations. We had 90 guests, but the outside event space could accommodate many more. The "Confessional Lounge" was a perfect place to do speeches. The sound set up/lighting was perfect for the live band, and after all was said and done, it was affordable! We got married on a Monday, so the price was lower than that of a Saturday, but even the weekend rates were not outrageous. I am so happy we got married at the Mish! And now we can go back for future anniversaries and have a beer by the river - this is not true of most event spaces! Thanks Gary and Meg!
