We could mot have asked for a better team to help get us through our special day. Maria and Jackie are amazing! I didn't want for a single thing that day. It was if they were mind readers. The food was fantastic! I can’t count how many friends have reached out to say how fun the wedding was or how good the food and cupcakes were. Everything was perfect. They met all of my expectations and more. I will forever be grateful to them.

The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings provided us with an amazing wedding experience. Their communication was quick and responsive, which helped us feel prepared and confident leading up to the big day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning mountain setting not far from Denver and a great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. On the day of our wedding, the staff made everything so seamless - they even helped us pivot quickly when we had a sudden downpour of rain right before our ceremony. Our guests raved about the space and had a wonderful time. The team also made sure we had everything we brought at the end of the night. We are so grateful for their great service and attention to detail throughout our entire event. Highly recommend this venue!

Professionalism. This group truly works as a team from Sales, to Planning, to Execution. The staff is extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable. This was especially crucial for me as this was a destination wedding for me, so everything was accomplished virtually. The planning process was enjoyable, and for an out of town bride like me, the wedding planning binder was a lifesaver. The team the day-of was amazing. The extra, small touches were above and beyond what I expected. Value. It was amazing how far our dollar stretched at Ashley Ridge! At other venues, the cost of simply renting the empty space covered the venue space and so much more at Ashley Ridge. They have great decor and extra features that would be an additional fee at other venues like the greenery wall and cloud lighting. The food was absolutely delicious as well! They also provide a military discount! Location. This was an amazing spot for out-of-town guests as it sits by several hotels, restaurants, and things to do. The views of the mountains were stunning as well. There are several parks nearby for wedding party photos. There are tons of restaurants nearby for rehearsal dinners.

Thank you so much to Mountain Crust and their crew for being so amazing. We hosted a Saturday wedding here in late June and it was absolutely stunning. There is enough shade in the lawn to make a big difference in the temp, and when it started to rain during dinner the staff moved our whole party (around 80 people) inside in just a few minutes. Everything turned out really well, and the venue is just gorgeous. Nico, the venue manager, was our day-of coordinator, and while there were a couple of snags (no PA announcements being made throughout the event, and our wedding cake was cut and served before we got to see it) most everything went really smoothly and felt organized. Communication was good and the staff were incredible day-of. We had so much fun and are so grateful to have found this venue!

I was there for a holiday party on 12/2/22 and was so impressed. I got to see each space they had and it was beautifully decorated. Great staff, very clean (including the bathrooms) and I would definitely go back to any event being held there or highly considerate for my own event in the future!

2 Penguins is not your typical wedding location. We are a Taproom and Restaurant providing quality food, service and beverages. We were in the traditional wedding business under the umbrella business, Panache Catering, Inc, for over 30 years and left it because we eventually were worn out by what it had become. In that time we catered thousands of weddings. The expectations among a some groups of wedding families simply became impossible to meet. If you, too, are becoming worn out by what you are finding in the wedding industry you likely have found a great alternative at 2 Penguins.

Wow. Seriously book them now. The venue itself is Romeo and juliet meets wine cellar meets Cinderella, with grand staircase and balconies! The food was literally the best food I've ever had, and my chef husband was floored. The staff was incredible, so helpful and coordinated everything!! They were so communicative and sweet. Of the 80 venues I looked into, this was the most affordable while still being pretty all inclusive. No mtn views, but that's what makes it a perfect choice for colder months when you still want it to be unique and beautiful!!! 10000 stars!

Mountain View Ranch takes indoor-outdoor flow to the next level with retractable walls that let you seamlessly connect with nature while keeping guests comfortable. When it comes to costs you'll be pleasantly surprised - Colorado venues typically run between $6,000 and $6,800, which falls on the lower end of what you'd pay nationally where prices range from $6,500 to $12,000.
