  • The most magical wedding at Piney

    We had the most amazing, magical, incredible wedding at Piney River Ranch this past July! I cannot recommend this venue enough. From touring, booking the venue, menu tasting, planning the details, to wedding day, everything was perfect! Brittany and Monique were awesome! Easy to work with, great communication and went above and beyond to make our day as special as it was. Our family and friends all had the best time as well and we even got so many compliments on how wonderful the bartenders and servers were as well. The views, lodge, cabins truly cannot be beat. We will be spending anniversaries here for the rest of our lives. Thank you Piney River Ranch!!!

    Piney is hands down the most spectacular wedding venue in Colorado. Everything from the amazing view to the marshmallow fire pit was perfect for our guests. They even set up a “canoe and cocktails” for our cocktail hour where our guests could take canoes out on the lake. It was an incredible experience. The coordinators, Brittany and Shoshana, are wonderful to work with. They were responsive and made the day stress free. Couldn’t recommend this venue more.

    The most amazing wedding venue ever! The staff at Piney was so easy to work with and made our day go so smoothly! Shoshana & Brittany were always quick to respond to questions & emails! We planned this wedding out of state and had absolutely no issues the day of! The views are absolutely breathtaking and all of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Piney River! The food & drinks were also great! Us and our wedding party stayed in the cabins the night of our wedding which I 1000% recommend! Waking up to the mountains and water was so beautiful and something we will always remember! We made some of our favorite memories here at Piney! The road to get there is completely worth it. We cannot wait to come back and stay for a couple of nights! We honestly have nothing but amazing things to say. We had the best wedding ever

    Best wedding venue (and place in general), maybe in the world,, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! Shoshana & Brittany and management were so amazing and so incredibly quick on all responses. Our wedding here blew away any expectations we could have ever possibly imagined. The scenery was phenomenal, so many activities, everyone was mind boggled by how insane this place is. The canoeing after our ceremony with all of our friends was so fun and so unique, and the photographs on the lake were just insane! We also saw moose during sunrise, and a little at dusk - SO COOL!!!! Also - food was SO GOOD, got lots of compliments on it (and literally everything). SO many people said this was the best wedding they've ever attended! One of my favorite things about this venue is that there is no service, so everyone was forced to be incredibly present for the entire event. We had a small wedding of about 50 people and we all stayed in the cabins after the wedding, which was the BEST - I cannot recommend enough having the entire party stay for the night with all of the fire pits lit, and cabin hopping socials. There are a lot of ppl that complain about the "off roading" to get there and I will definitely argue with that - the dirt road up is really not bad at all, I saw a couple Prius's and regular sedans make it up without any issues. Best day of our lives, nothing could have been more perfect. Perfect is an understatement, I am insanely obsessed. THANK YOU PINEY!!!!!!!!
