“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. My husband and I truly had the best day of our lives and we are forever thankful for choosing and trusting Spruce Mountain Ranch with the most important day of our lives!

The staff is easy to work with, bringing flexibility and consistently providing incredible value to our mutual guests. The venue is well-appointed, with attentive staff and a stunning view of Glenwood Canyon and the Colorado River.
