“Black Canyon Inn is a wonderful wedding venue! Their team is fantastic and truly cares about each wedding. Additionally, their location is stunning. Their space gives the feel of being inside Rocky Mountain National Park but it's better because it is weather-friendly and lets guests stay on site! I love working at this venue!”

“Spruce Mountain Ranch was perfect for our 9/21/24 wedding! The staff was incredible during the planning and execution of our day! Brus Osborne was amazing to work with from our initial tour in 2022 all the way through our wedding day. Emily Wanderscheid was awesome the day of our event, so kind and helpful! The venue is so beautiful, most of our guests were from out of state and loved the venue.

“We had the chance to DJ a wedding here recently and it was absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony takes place right down by the Colorado River, which creates a really special, intimate setting with the water and canyon walls all around you. From there, guests head up to the reception area on the terrace, which overlooks the river and mountains—such a cool transition and a great way to separate the spaces. The patio setup for dinner and dancing is beautiful and feels very “Colorado.” Overall, it’s a really unique venue that combines a true outdoor experience with a polished reception space. Definitely a great option for couples looking for something memorable and a little different. — Nathan & Kyann Firefly Entertainment”

“Arrowhead is absolutely stunning — we knew it was the perfect venue after our tour, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The food exceeded our tasting, the service and presentation were top-notch, and we loved that every guest got two entrees. Communication was a bit slow leading up to the wedding, but everything was handled beautifully on the day. The only thing we were a bit disappointed about was that we weren’t able to golf around our wedding date. With so many family and friends traveling from out of town, we had hoped to enjoy some time on the course together as part of the celebration, but the timing just didn’t work out with all of Arrowhead’s events. Even so, Arrowhead provided the most magical backdrop and an unforgettable experience—we would highly recommend it to any couple considering this venue.”
