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!

Spruce Mountain was the best venue we could have possibly chosen. My fiancé was sold from the pictures online and when we toured, I spent the whole time just breathless. We were on the upper ranch with the ceremony on Trey's Vista (stunning), cocktail hour in the Spruce Room, and reception in the Ponderosa Room. Communication with them was easy, Tara was our representative and she happily answered all of our questions and communicated seamlessly without overloading our inbox. She even provided me with a preferred vendors list of vendors they have worked with before which created a great starting place for finding vendors. I was a bit skeptical of their requirement of a Day of Coordinator, but I am so thankful that they required it. We didn't have to lift a finger on the wedding day, I wasn't being asked a million questions, it was fantastic. On the wedding day, our property manager came to introduce herself and told us where to find her if we needed her, there was music playing on the TV in the bridal suite, everything was so clean and perfectly set up to start the day. All of our guests could not stop raving about the venue - the views at the ceremony site, having separate spaces for each part of the day, the mix of indoor and outdoor space for the cocktail hour and reception, and so many said "this sets my bar so high for weddings". If I could do my wedding all over again, I would book Spruce with no hesitation!!

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.

Lucky 8 Ranch was the perfect choice for our Steamboat wedding. We wanted a mountain/western, outdoor vibe, and we couldn't have found a better place for it. Nick and the Lucky 8 team were great to work with and super flexible in helping us bring our vision to life. They have a large inventory of furniture and decor to choose from, which made it easy to create the event and look we wanted, and they executed it perfectly. The venue itself is beautiful—amazing views, bison roaming nearby, and a fun lawn for cocktail hour, and a nice tent that they can set up however you like. It did take some extra work to find and coordinate all of the 3rd-party vendors needed, but it was worth it and Nick was willing to provide recommendations and answer any questions throughout the process. Highly recommend this place!

It's a casual atmosphere, and the bar remains open during your event, but there is some separation between your event and the open bar area. Food trucks are welcome or we had a caterer set up a lovely buffet. It's a very "Colorado" experience ...don your cowboy boots and jeans and kick back the night before your wedding.

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!

My husband and I got married at the Mishawaka in June after a long engagement. Gary, the event coordinator, was amazing! I planned the wedding by myself so I had a TON of questions; Gary answered them quickly and kindly and never made me feel like I was bothering him. The event staff at the Mish were accommodating and helpful on the day of the wedding. Our outside wedding turned into an inside event quickly when it started to rain. Meg and her crew were able to pivot and set up the inside for dinner quickly, and when dinner was over and the rain stopped, they just as quickly pivoted to make sure the outside was ready for dancing and the rest of the evenings festivities. The food was delicious, the views and scenery were stunning, having a rushing river and a staggering mountain ridge in the background of my photos is so gorgeous. We got beautiful pictures by the river, and the lighting in the canyon was perfect; no sun in anybody's eyes. Not to mention, The Mishawaka offers a shuttle service, so I knew that all of my loved ones would arrive back in Fort Collins safely after a night of dancing and libations. We had 90 guests, but the outside event space could accommodate many more. The "Confessional Lounge" was a perfect place to do speeches. The sound set up/lighting was perfect for the live band, and after all was said and done, it was affordable! We got married on a Monday, so the price was lower than that of a Saturday, but even the weekend rates were not outrageous. I am so happy we got married at the Mish! And now we can go back for future anniversaries and have a beer by the river - this is not true of most event spaces! Thanks Gary and Meg!
