“Spruce Mountain Ranch is one of our favorite venues to photograph, offering two distinct yet equally beautiful spaces. Lower Ranch has a warm, intimate feel with its darker wood tones and grand stone fireplace, along with multiple gorgeous ceremony locations.

“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.”

“I just had my wedding reception at Town Hall Collaborative last weekend. We were very DIY with everything and everyone at Town Hall was totally on board with that. I didn't hire a coordinator (though they gave us recommendations), so it was all planned by me and my mom. The space was already so beautiful and funky and fun that we didn't HAVE to add any decorations, but we did add papel picado (my husband is Mexican so we were doing a fun Mexican party theme) and they allowed us to hang from the 16ft ceiling. We also added paper flowers, cloths, and a couple other things to elevate the space in our theme. ***The entire planning and coordinating process was straightforward for someone that has never planned a big event before. *** They provided us with a list of vendors (DJ, photographers, coordinator, food) that was VERY helpful. There was a straightforward portal online that we used to communicate and review/sign contracts, etc. The people that worked the event were amazing, friendly, helpful. (AP, Itzy, Lauren, and [gosh I just can't remember their name but she had purple hair].) I think the pricing was reasonable even though not familiar with pricing for events like this. They were able to work with us on costs. I'm so so so happy to say that my wedding reception (ceremony was at my house) went perfectly. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about any of it--the process, the vibe, the space, the service, the drinks. Everything went so well and I'm so excited to be able to type this review of it as an event/ wedding space.”

“Mountain Crust is incredible!! I can promise you, you don’t need to look at additional venues. You will not find a venue that is more fun, more kind and willing to make anything happen. I am so grateful for our experience with Mountain Crust Pizza. The Great: 1. The Staff – they are kind and had had fun with us! They communicated with our guests, they were always willing to help and went above and beyond at every step!! Standout employees from our event were Janae (our day of coordinator and one of the most organized and detailed humans), Spencer (upstairs Bartender and someone multiple guests called out saying how kind he was and how wonderful his drinks were) and Ryan (Owner and just sunshine in a human). 2. The food and drinks – I mean what else do your guests want?! BEST PIZZA AND UNLIMITED FOR 3HRS??? All of our guests left full and satisfied and HAPPY! 3. They do everything – day of coordinator, place to get ready, serve food, great bartenders, tables/chairs/napkins, etc. They even gave us great recommendations for Vendors. We booked one of Mountain Crust preferred DJ’s - Alysia the owner of Moonlit Entertainment Co and she was incredible! She listened and tailored the music to our guests and us. We had such a good time with Alysia! 4. Environmentally friendly – they compost and are nearly zero waste! Which also means real napkins, real plates, real silverware!!! 5. Loveshack – what a truly beautiful and perfectly casual spot to get ready in the morning. It is decorated so nicely but so incredibly comfortable. We had a group of 12 vendors and we didn’t feel crowded! The Bad: LITERALLY NOTHING! I have no constructive criticism to offer.”
