My husband and I instantly fell in love with this venue when we first started planning our wedding. The beauty of the grounds and rustic vibes were exactly what we were looking for. This venue has the mountain feels without having to travel to the mountains. It is close to town for guests, but has such a peaceful and quite feel. Deborah and Ed are great hosts and are very helpful along the entire planning process. They allowed us access to the venue for many site visits and were so very kind with all the questions we had during the process. I would suggest this venue for every couple looking for a unique, mountain, rustic venue. It is absolutely gorgeous and the alpacas were a hit with all the guests.
My husband and I had our wedding a week ago at this amazing venue! When we tour Black Forest Meadows we knew it was the perfect place to host our special day; the day of was just incredible and this venue gave that magical touch we were looking for. Black Forest Meadows is definitely breathtaking, with the views, the sunset and the Alpacas! Everything was in the best shape possible and I keep only hearing good comments from my guest about it! The owners, Deborah and Ed, are wonderful people and they took the best care of our guests, us and our day.
If you are looking for a natural, beautiful, and stunning venue, Black Forest Meadows is your best choice!
My wife and I decided to organize a wedding on a very short notice. Through the grapevine, we heard of brand new venue called Black Forest Meadows near Colorado Springs, and came out to meet Deborah and Ed, the owners, 4 weeks before the wedding. Long story short...our wedding day was perfect, in big part thanks to Deborah and Ed's help.
We had many young guests at our wedding, who had a great time running around the large properties and hanging out with the alpacas.
Though we were the first couple at Black Forest Meadows, Deborah has years of experience organizing very big destination weddings, and we couldn't do it without her help.
