We absolutely highly recommend Della Terra Mountain Chateau! From the moment we arrived, the team made our dream wedding come to life in every possible way. Thanks to their meticulous planning, our day flowed effortlessly, allowing my husband and I to simply enjoy the celebration without any worries. Special shoutout to Rachel and Cayce for orchestrating the day. The Della Terra team was friendly, professional, and so much fun! They even joined in on the fun by taking pictures in our photo booth, showing just how invested they were in making our experience perfect. It felt like they truly wanted everything to go exactly as we envisioned. The venue itself is breathtaking. The atmosphere is incredibly romantic and elegant, which fit the tone of our wedding day perfectly. The beauty of the venue provided the ideal setting, and the views of the mountains were a stunning backdrop for both our ceremony and photos. The food was absolutely divine! We couldn't get enough of the chicken and Brussels sprouts, but every dish we tasted was equally amazing. We were so impressed by the quality of the meal and the variety offered. Getting ready was a breeze thanks to the spacious salon, which easily accommodated our bridal party of seven. The guys loved their time in the theater area with its projector screen and comfortable recliners. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort and experience. Della Terra Mountain Chateau’s gazebo entrance for the bride was the perfect dramatic touch, and it really wowed everyone. The mountain views behind the venue made for breathtaking photos we will cherish forever. Overall, our experience was flawless, and we truly can’t recommend this venue enough. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, stress-free wedding day, Della Terra is the place to go!

We had the wedding of our dreams at La Joya Dulce. We knew the first time that we visited the ranch that we’d be getting married here. We got married here in September and the fall colors look incredible in our photos. We had the privilege of working with Croix as our wedding planner. She was so kind, organized, and was incredibly accommodating to our busy schedules. She provided support every step of the way. Our big day couldn’t have gone better! Kathie, Croix, and the entire La Joya team work so well together and ensure that everything goes perfectly. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

In July 2024, we had our wedding reception at Lucky 8 Ranch, and we can't say enough good things about our experience! When we first toured the venue shortly after getting engaged, we immediately knew that this would be our dream wedding location. We toured other venues in the greater Steamboat area too, but Lucky 8 stood out to us. Not only is the ranch absolutely stunning, but the folks who work there are very kind, caring, and hardworking. This proved to be the case even more-so as Nick offered a great deal of hand-holding throughout the entire planning process, and went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. My family primarily traveled from the NJ/NY area, and my husband's from ND, SD, MN and NE. We really wanted to offer our guests a Western experience, and the stunning mountain views, beautifully decorated tent, and even an unexpected afternoon thunderstorm (which was handled so gracefully by Nick and his staff!) was the perfect way to show our guests what Colorado is all about. Thank you, Lucky 8, for making our dream wedding come true!

Snow Mountain Ranch was the best venue for our wedding. We reserved a family reunion cabin for our family to stay on-site all weekend, while our friends booked rooms at the lodges, and everyone was able to participate in summer camp activities. A highlight was the tubing hill and the waterfall hike! We also reserved the Mountain Air Cookout Shelter for the reception, and we were able to choose our own caterers. We opted for a pizza truck and a paella chef, and they were a big hit! The shelter was perfectly rustic and had a mountain vibe with excellent views, and SMR provided lawn games outside during our cocktail hour. We were also happy that we could bring our dogs to the reception, and they had a fun time too. There was also a fire pit at the reception site, so we lit a campfire when it got cold after dark. SMR also put us in touch with a local bartender and DJ, Marcie, who knew the venue well and kept the drinks flowing and the dance floor packed all night. The event coordinator, Stephanie, was very communicative throughout the planning process, and I think that everything went perfectly!

The Bull Pin - Elevated Entertainment was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding festivities. From the moment we first reached out, their team was incredibly kind, engaging, and fun to interact with. They were so flexible and accommodating, making it easy for us to plan the perfect Indian-American welcome henna party. The venue was decked out with Christmas-time decor galore, creating such a festive atmosphere. We rented out the back room and bar, and some bowling lanes which led to lots of laughs and friendly competition (my husband even broke the punching machine record at 936!). The ability to bring in our own catering was also a huge plus for our cultural celebration. Overall, the team at The Bull Pin went above and beyond to make our special day truly memorable. We cannot recommend them enough!
