“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”

“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!”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Brus and the full Spruce Mountain team. They think of everything when it comes to logistics, and we didn't have to worry about a thing from the moment we showed up on wedding day until the end of the night. Our experience touring the venue a year and a half ago, coming back for the Wine & Nosh event, and doing our 30 day walk through all made the planning process so smooth and exciting for us and our families. The multiple ceremony locations are all gorgeous, and we were thrilled to be able to get married mountainside with the natural beauty of Colorado in the background. Our guests loved cocktail hour and the indoor/outdoor dinner & dancing set up. Spruce is truly a 5 star wedding venue because of its natural beauty and the organization/care the team takes in scoping out all the details, like 2 beautiful getting ready suites for the bridesmaids & groomsmen, shuttles to take guests up mountainside, and open air string lights for late night dancing. Spruce is also a popular spot that many of our vendors were familiar with, which made logistics even smoother since our bartenders, caterer, DJ, planner, and florist had all done multiple weddings at Spruce before and had great recommendations on what could work well with our vision. We hope to come back for future events and are so happy to have gotten married at Spruce!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Baldoria On The Water from start to finish. The team communicated clearly and respectfully with us throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The venue itself is stunning—it has a castle-like appearance that feels elegant without being over the top, and the grounds are well-maintained with a beautiful garden perfect for photos. We appreciated the spacious parking lot and the thoughtful layout, though we'd recommend keeping the main floor at around 200 guests with 50 on the back floor for comfortable movement, especially since you have to walk through to reach the dance floor. If you're looking for a venue that's classy but not fussy, Baldoria is exactly what you need.”

The space is so customizable and allows you to choose the vendors that fit you best. We chose all of our vendors from SKYLIGHT's preferred vendor list and we were thrilled with how experienced and professional they all were. The entire team at SKYLIGHT, specifically our planner, Sophie, was so helpful from start to finish. Sophie was communicative and met with us on a regular basis to make sure she had a complete understanding of our vision for the day. (And she knocked it out of the park!) We had pretty minimal decorations and flowers but she was still able to make the space come to life. We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out!”

“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!”

“The first time I set foot in the Tivoli Turnhalle at 18, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. Ten years later, I did exactly that, and it’s the best possible decision I could have made. The building was built in the 19th century, so there’s definitely a gilded-age vibe that’s both beautiful and industrial. My husband and his groomsmen loved drinking a beer at the brewery before the ceremony, and I loved having a full bridal suite at the hotel on campus. Everything about this venue was fabulous, and I can’t recommend it enough!”
