4 Eagle Ranch

We hosted a ranch party at 4 Eagle during our wedding weekend. It was amazing! The views are spectacular and our guests had so much fun taking photos, playing lawn games and volleyball, and soaking up all the ranch magic..the fun continued inside the main venue with delicious BBQ and line dancing - truly one of the most memorable nights for us. Kristen an the staff could not be nicer or easier to work with. Cost seemed very reasonable. Thanks for a wonderful event!

Beautiful location, flexible arrangements, dresses up nicely. Was able to rent some decorations from the facility which helped with cost. I would recommend against using their DJ company which I think was way over priced - $1,965 for one hour ceremony and a 5 hour reception. Also, cost for open bar was WAY out of control when we know 30% of the attendees left 2 hours early and another 20% don't even drink. Other MAJOR mishap was that the remainder of our wedding cake got "lost"! Never found out who was responsible and no one ever fessed up, so can't pin that one directly on 4 Eagle, but still, it is quite a bummer my husband and I will not be able to enjoy the top layer of our cake on our 1 year anniversary.

This venue was exactly what we were looking for. It's far from the hotel ballroom scene with bad carpet, which we wanted to stay far away from. My now husband and I met in Colorado, while we both are from different states, so we decided to have a wedding representative of the state that brought us together. 4 Eagle Ranch sits in a valley about 25 miles west of Vail, and it's actually an old ranch from the late 1800s. Some of the old structures keep the ranch looking rustic, however, the newest wedding venue on the property is brand new. The event center was just finished this last year, and was made to be an indoor/outdoor venue with large garage doors that can stay open or closed. Word has it that the floors are even heated in case it's cold. My favorite part about this venue was the ceremony site, which is a beautiful outdoor wedding pavilion that perfectly frames a picturesque mountain range. Another plus for us was that if the weather turned bad, then the ceremony could be moved into the event center, which had a giant garage door framing the same mountains. So it's a good choice if you really want to be outside, but still have a rain option. We were ultimately looking for a Colorado rustic wedding, and we found it with this venue. It is very much a ranch, and maybe that is not for everyone... There is only buffet for the in house catering, but it is spectacular food, we are still getting comments on how good the food is. The staff is wonderful and so helpful in making your day exactly what you want it to be. If wanting to go for more of the rustic "elegant" wedding here, you will need to rent linens and most of your items (plates, flatware, etc.), because again, this is a ranch...and although it's starting to do a lot of weddings now, it seems to be mostly set up for corporate bbqs, country western nights, etc. Very seriously though, this place is a gem, and for me it was a beautiful canvas to have the exact wedding I was looking for. Some extra bonuses of the venue is the amazing 6-bedroom guest house which the bride can get ready in prior to ceremony. Also, the horse drawn carriage ride for the wedding party post ceremony was an amazing touch as well. Again, if you're looking for the banquet style plated reception, then this place might not be for you. But if you're looking for a unique venue that highlights the best of Colorado, this is your place!
