So I will start by saying that our wedding day was BEAUTIFUL. All of the guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. The food was great, the service was good, and I can't think of a more beautiful place to get marrie...d in Colorado. Also, Meredith did a great job running the show during the rehearsal as well as the actual wedding day.
Here are some of my thoughts and comments on the year leading up to the wedding:
The customer service leading up to the wedding was a little bit disappointing. Now this may be the place for all of you 'no worries' people to get married, but if you are any sort of type A this is probably not your venue. A few reasons I say this: First reason being that their average response time to any sort of e-mail (and I like to put things in writing for legal purposes) was around a week or more. Really the shortest wait time being a day or so, most responses around a week or so, and some e-mails took two weeks or more to be answered. And when I asked what was taking so long I was told that there were 6 weddings ahead of me. Second issue here was that they were not very good at keeping their word. We had several instances where I had to "put my foot down" for lack of a better word. We were promised certain sized tables and linens, and they decided to change this on us about 7 weeks before the wedding, and then again a whole 2 days before the wedding. Again, if you're extremely 'whatever', this is probably your venue, but if you would be angry with them changing your linens from floor length to just below the table, 48 hours before your wedding, this is probably not your venue. They say it with a smile, but it really took me being very bridezilla to get them to eat the cost and get me what I was promised.
A few other side notes, they do not do tastings.....so you will just have to trust that whatever dinner you end up ordering is good. Ours did turn out well but rarely will you find a wedding venue that won't let you taste the food you're going to buy from them....in mass quantities. We were offered to attend a dinner series for free but that won't necessarily be what you want to order for your wedding and they fill up very quickly.
This website says they can accommodate 200 people. I think that's pretty generous. We had about 120 and the dance floor was tight. I would think anything over 150 in there would be very uncomfortable.
Also, you have to take ALL of your trash down the mountain at the end of the night. This being flowers, any glassware, décor you don't want, etc. I was obviously not part of the clean up crew but family members did say this was...suprising.
