“We recently had our elopement wedding ceremony and guest room block at The Eddy and it could not have been more perfect! We were able to utilize the west rooftop for our ceremony which was the perfect backdrop to our wedding. Our family and friends enjoyed their stay here as well. The rooms are clean and modern but feel homey and comfortable. Breakfast was great and a nice amenity to have. We were surprised by champagne in our room when we arrived. Every staff member from front desk to the taproom to housekeeping was warm, friendly and overly accommodating. If you are in the area for business or just for fun or considering using The Eddy for your small wedding celebration, I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you for making our wedding absolutely perfect!”

“The Boettcher Mansion is a fairytale venue! It is absolutely gorgeous inside, but the outdoor space is what really sold us. When my husband and I got married in June the flowers were in full bloom, and we were surrounded by butterflies. The mansion is in a pine forest and has fantastic mountain views (the lookout in the photo is just across the street). We really wanted our wedding to feel like a mountain, wildflower fantasy and Boettcher was perfect! All the staff at Boettcher are amazing! We primarily worked with Dana and Shea, who were both incredibly well organized and helpful throughout the planning process. Overall, Boettcher was our dream venue, and I would highly recommend it!”

“My husband and I knew we wanted an intimate wedding with less than 20 guests. It was extremely challenging to find a venue that could host both the ceremony and reception that wasn't designed to fit over 100 guests and at the same time was elegant. Then we found Juniper. It was exactly what we were looking for and it was a bonus that it was close enough to Denver so our out of state guests didn't have to drive too far after a full day of travel. Alea and Ashley (the owners) are great to work with and were extremely accommodating and flexible with what we wanted to do. After the wedding our parents were raving about both of them. The venue itself is SO beautiful and we cannot wait to come back and stay at the hotel for our future anniversaries.”

“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.
