Awarded Best of Zola
“Spruce Mountain was the best venue we could have possibly chosen. My fiancé was sold from the pictures online and when we toured, I spent the whole time just breathless. We were on the upper ranch with the ceremony on Trey's Vista (stunning), cocktail hour in the Spruce Room, and reception in the Ponderosa Room. Communication with them was easy, Tara was our representative and she happily answered all of our questions and communicated seamlessly without overloading our inbox. She even provided me with a preferred vendors list of vendors they have worked with before which created a great starting place for finding vendors. I was a bit skeptical of their requirement of a Day of Coordinator, but I am so thankful that they required it. We didn't have to lift a finger on the wedding day, I wasn't being asked a million questions, it was fantastic. On the wedding day, our property manager came to introduce herself and told us where to find her if we needed her, there was music playing on the TV in the bridal suite, everything was so clean and perfectly set up to start the day. All of our guests could not stop raving about the venue - the views at the ceremony site, having separate spaces for each part of the day, the mix of indoor and outdoor space for the cocktail hour and reception, and so many said "this sets my bar so high for weddings". If I could do my wedding all over again, I would book Spruce with no hesitation!!”

“The team at Church of the Cross is an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style is responsive and warm and helpful throughout the planning process. The venue itself was charming, with beautiful woodwork and an intimate, cozy atmosphere and affordable. They are incredibly accommodating, offering tours beforehand, providing a pastor, and being available on the day to lend a hand where needed. They also have an outdoor space for small ceremonies, a kitchen if needed, and ample parking. The central Evergreen location also makes it easy to enjoy nearby reception options. Plus it's a short distance to Evergreen Lake and the Lakehouse if you want to take great photos. There is also a chance there will be elk and deer roaming around the church as it's a common place they gather, which can really make for a magical day.”
