Tiffany, Madison and Joelle at Brookside along with their entire staff made the planning and execution of our special day perfect! The venue is absolutely beautiful for a wedding anytime of the year but made our January wedding special! The staff was super attentive, responsive and friendly! We could not have asked for a better group of people to help us have the perfect day!
One of the most beautiful venues with the easiest experience! We loved how unique the setting is. The staff are wonderful and have great communication. The gardens are gorgeous. Our guests loved the day just as much as us!!
Amazing venue, staff and experience having our wedding at Brookside Gardens. Everyone was so kind and helpful and make sure everything went smoothly!
We celebrated our wedding at Brookside on September 23rd this year, and the experience surpassed all our expectations. The entire planning journey, from start to finish, was remarkably seamless. The team at Brookside not only assisted us with every detail but also offered inclusive packages that significantly alleviated the stress typically associated with wedding planning. This streamlined approach not only reduced our anxiety but allowed us to truly enjoy our engagement.
The venue's breathtaking surroundings, with flowers and trees in full bloom, created a picturesque backdrop. As we posed for photographs, the tranquil sound of a gentle waterfall provided a serene ambiance. For my wife, who attached great importance to floral arrangements, the gardens were a paradise of lush beauty, sparing us the need to purchase additional flowers.
The staff at Brookside was exceptionally polite, earning praises from all our guests. Their professionalism and attentiveness added a special touch to our celebration, making it even more memorable.
Opting for the in-house catering proved to be an excellent decision, as the food exceeded all expectations – it was nothing short of amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend Brookside as a wedding venue, grateful for the magical experience they provided on our special day.
Amazing venue to host your wedding. Expert staff went above and beyond for me and my husband!
Couldn’t have asked for a better venue! We got married in October and we had a beautiful clear sky’s and 70 degree day. The flowers we all in full bloom still and the twinkle lights at night make it even more breathtaking. We booked this venue over a year in advance and what sold us on it was they have a getting ready suites for the girls and the guys and they have on site catering. It’s basically a one stop shop! Throughout the planning process, Maddison and the staff were very communicative and responsive! We probably asked if we could come look at the venue more than anyone else and every time they were happy to accommodate. Maddison was our day of coordinator and I never had a doubt in my mind that she wouldn’t make the place look wonderful and make sure it ran smoothly. Maddison was going to do everything in her power to get me what I want and make the day everything I hoped it would be. Everything was perfect and if something went wrong no one told me! We got so many compliments on how beautiful this venue was and all the decorations Maddison arranged to look awesome! Truly was the BEST. DAY. EVER!
My experience working with Brookside Gardens was nothing short of amazing. From the very start, they were communicative, kind, organized and very helpful. The day-of staff kept the day organized and smooth. They are truly a pleasure to work with. Not to mention the venue is GORGEOUS and the food (we used the onsite caterer) was so good. We had so many people who told us they loved the food. I have nothing negative to say - the price was very reasonable for what you get and there were no surprise fees that we didn't know about. They are honest and transparent about cost and we never felt like we didn't have a grip on what it would look like financially. We had an amazing wedding and, truly, the staff and venue made sure of that. They really make you feel cared for and they were excited for us throughout it all.
We were blessed with the most magical, beautiful wedding at Brookside Gardens. We planned our wedding in 9 weeks and this venue was very generous, professional, kind, and creative in making our day the most special day for us and our family! The coordinators were amazing, the DJ they recommended was wonderful, the food was outstanding, and the whole day was a beautiful memory we will hold dear forever.
Brookside Gardens was the most beautiful event center we could have ever imagined for our wedding. The coordinators, more specifically Lily and Madison, were so incredibly easy to work with and so professional. They helped us with so many decisions and gave amazing advice throughout the planning process. The gardens were so gorgeous, my guests still can not stop talking about how beautiful it was. Their in-house caterer, Origins, was so easy to work with and they put out an amazing BBQ dinner, that the guests loved! It was such a beautiful evening, couldn't have asked for better!
Brookside Gardens is an excellent choice for a garden-themed wedding! My husband and I hosted our wedding reception there last summer and could not have been happier with our choice. The venue itself is stunning- outdoors there are lots of flowers, trees, etc. and it is all very well maintained. The indoor space had lots of beautiful natural light during the first part of our event, and as the sun went down, the chandeliers and string lights created a very romantic and dreamy vibe! Overall, the area is very spacious. It provides a fantastic indoor-outdoor feel and good flow for guests to dance, socialize, play games, etc. In addition to providing a gorgeous atmosphere, the staff was incredible. Ashley guided us through our entire planning process and was also our venue coordinator day of. She was helpful, responsive, attentive to our needs, and honestly just a kind and down to earth person who provided a supportive and calming presence throughout the entire experience. We also went with their in-house catering option through Origins Catering and were very pleased with the quality of food and service! They have a huge menu selection, and our dinner choices were all delicious. There are so many more positive things I could say about our experience at Brookside Gardens. Everything met and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for a venue in the area!
Brookside Gardens was wonderful to work with! Ashley and Tiffany were friendly, prompt in their responses, and took care of everything the day of and all of the prep. They are super organized and I felt like they were so on top of things and supportive the whole time. The venue is very spacious with a lot of open space for guests to roam around and hang out during cocktail hour. There’s lots of greenery around the venue that makes it seem like it’s own little fairytale land! A beautiful space and wonderful people- I would highly recommend this venue!
Brookside was a beautiful location for our wedding and reception! Tiffany, one of the owners, was wonderful to work with. She was prompt in responding to our questions and inquires. We loved being able to have our ceremony and reception all at one beautiful location.
Brookside gardens is a dream come true for a wedding venue. We originally had our wedding scheduled at another venue, but due to the fires, it was shut down just 5 days before the wedding. I felt so defeated, as we had already postponed earlier in the year from covid. But we frantically called vendors around the area and without hesitation, Tiffany and her team took us and in those few days, put together the most amazing day. I am forever grateful for all their hard work and kindness in this crazy year. This venue is beautiful in every way and every single person there makes sure you're taken care of.
We would highly recommend Brookside Gardens and Event Center as well as Tiffany the owner/event coordinator. She came through for us at the last minute after our original venue cancelled on us 11 days before the event. The venue is gorgeous and the staff very friendly. Tiffany helped make our day so much less stressful and made sure everything ran so smoothly. With a pandemic in place they made sure that all of the proper protocols were followed and made us and our guests feel safe to celebrate. Our photos turned out amazing, with plenty of great photography locations on-site. The in-house catering was amazing, our guests commented that the Mac and cheese was the best they ever had. They worked with our food needs, including allergies, and even made an off menu item for us. If you are looking for a venue I would highly recommend checking them out.
Brookside was the first venue I visited and it gave me a feeling of euphoria from the start. First, the place is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor ceremony space showcases gorgeous flowers of all colors and includes a patio with market lights for cocktail hour (and use during the reception too!). Everyone I worked with at the venue was so friendly and excited for me and the communication was open the whole time. Hawley was my day-of coordinator and did such a great job answering even the smallest questions up until the big day. I know there was a few hiccups the day of with other vendors, but I didn't know a thing about it until after - because she took care of it. I felt like I did not have to lift a finger or worry about anything thanks to the Brookside staff in partnership with our caterers. I felt it was a little pricey, but for what you get, well worth it. Some other venues I toured were about the same price but with less amenities. I am so grateful to have been married here and it was absolutely perfect!!
Brookside Gardens Event Center was the most beautiful venue for our wedding! They have such beautiful scenery and the venue is huge, which was great considering we had a guest count of 240. They originally assigned us a wedding coordinator who made a lot of mistakes and was difficult to coordinate with; however, once we expressed our concern, Christy stepped in, and she did such an incredible job at making everything run smoothly and efficiently so we weren't stressed on our big day. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married in the Northern Colorado area!
The venue was perfect! We got married on 7/7! The bride and groom suite stayed cool although it was 98 outside! We Jose to bring our own fans too just in case! Our wedding coordinator Linda was PHENOMENAL. Flowers were perfect! The walk through was super helpful, first round of mimosas on the House rocked and the suite for my hubby and I was PERFECT the night of! Would HIGHLY recommend!
Brookside Gardens took such good care of my husband and I throughout the entire planning process! They assisted us with timeline details and made sure things would flow smoothly and then on the day of they took care of everything and worked closely with our DJ and caterer to make sure things went as they were supposed to!
Brookside was perfect. We are so glad we chose to get married there, and could not have been happier. Everything was set up to our specification and communicated well. It is also the most beautiful venue with the kindest people. Thank you, Brookside!!!
Brookside Gardens is a beautiful and practical location for a wedding. We found out about this venue in a wedding magazine and instantly fell in love. The gorgeous photos you see really do not do the real thing justice. Their outdoor gardens and pergola create the perfect setting for the ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour. The indoor reception area is also gorgeous and works well for the post-ceremony celebration.
The staff at the venue are very accommodating and responsive. We were able to walk through the site a number of times before the wedding to show family and get measurements for decorations. The location also has a variety of great photo backdrop options for your photographer to take advantage of. Brookside Gardens is the perfect place for any event and a beautiful backdrop for a wedding!
The best decision we made picking this for our venue for our wedding! They were nothing, but amazing from the day we toured it to our wedding day. Very quick with responses, open communication, and extremely reasonable for all the amenities they provide! The day of coordinator they provided as well was fantastic. Our day was absolutely perfect, streamlined amazing, and not a single hiccup. They communicated great with our caterer, cake company, and us. We could not have done it without the amazing staff at Brookside! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect day with an absolutely gorgeous setting!
My husband and I got married at Brookside Gardens on November 20th of last year. We had the most amazing experience! They were so incredibly helpful through out the entire process. Amanda Disney was absolutely amazing leading up to the wedding and on the day of. She was always willing to answer any of my questions and made our day run smoothly. She kept us on schedule and made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it. The entire staff was extremely professional and helpful. We truly had the wedding of our dreams!
Brookside Gardens is one of the most stunning event venues in Northern CO. I adore their garden theme, as it creates a very romantic and breathtaking atmosphere. I highly recommend it to all of my brides and clients! I most often work with Katie, and she will definitely make sure that you are taken care of. :)
This place is beautiful. It was more wonderful than anything I could have imagined. They really took care of everything and the whole wedding went off without a hitch, thanks to Amanda, who was an EXCELLENT coordinator. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I've had numerous people tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. My only two complaints are that the rooms to get ready in were not unlocked in time, which was a minor inconvenience but not a very big deal. My major complaint is that the morning after our wedding, my husband and I were staying in the cottage on site. Which the staff set up and were fully aware of. We were woken up by a man at 8 in the morning knocking on the door and unlocking it himself. He came in while we were in bed and preceded to go downstairs in the cottage to get paint! Not the way I wanted to wake up the day after my wedding. Like I said, this place was beautiful. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone. But a traumatic and awkward morning for sure!
This place has it all which made planning and the day of a lot easier. Plus we had a lot of help from all of the staff who were super helpful and accommodating. All the outside vendors (photographer, videographer, etc.) mentioned how much they liked the venue and the help they received from our on-site coordinator Katie who works for Brookside. We only received rave reviews from everyone who attended. Everything went perfectly and we could not have asked for anything more.
The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL! It fit my theme perfectly, but really that's where the glam ended for me. The price was reasonable when I booked it, but as I see the price go up in the upcoming year there is no way I could justify booking it later on. There is quite a bit included in the fee, but it all disappears quickly. They say a wedding supervisor is included, but I highly suggest a planner or at least make sure your MOH or someone else has everything handled. Mine was nowhere to be found and did the bare minimum at the rehearsal and coming up with the timeline, which was really just whatever the caterer and I said but repeated. Luckily, my MOH and bridesmaids took on a lot of responsibility the day of, but overall it was a lot of miscommunication that could of been easily fixed if the planner had actually discussed things with me. My bridal party and immediate family came in early to set up the centerpieces and everything out on the tables for me.
The staff... the wonderful ladies that did my hair and make up are the only ones spared, but the gossip and disrespect from the others is uncanny! I was running late for my appointments, by 20 minutes and called to let them know and got the rudest responses back over the phone. Then when I actually got there the person on the phone was very easy to distinguish because she still had an attitude to my face, to a few of my bridesmaids! Then I find out later that her and other staff were talking about me in the salon within earshot of my mother getting her make up done after getting off the phone with me (they clearly didn't know she was there) and the lady doing my mom's make up had to tell them that she was there and they could hear them.
Overall:
The venue is beautiful.
The salon is a salon.
Extremely bad staff experience.
The cottage is nice, but simple (TV didn't work), breakfast was from panera bread, and good champagne.
Go ahead and get a planner anyway.
The essential vibe of this place is a salon that decided to open a wedding venue. Don't get me wrong the place is nice, but they really lack the competency in wedding planning that is offered by most other local venues.
This venue was absolutely amazing. They are extremely helpful and know what they're doing! They provide a wedding coordinator who helps you get through the big day and they are excellent. We are so happy we chose Brookside Gardens for our wedding. It was beautiful and our friends and family cannot stop talking about it! I highly highly recommend it!!!
This is a beautiful place for your wedding. Staff and coordinator were professional, supportive and extremely competent. My daughter's wedding was early evening so the romantic ambiance only increased as the evening went on. The ceremony followed by cocktails was outside in the garden area and then everyone moved indoors for the reception and dancing. Guests moved comfortably throughout the beautiful grounds.There is also an Aveda spa in the building making it very appealing. For the value, for the beauty, for the convenience, Brookside Gardens was wonderfully perfect!
Stunning venue and so handy to have an Aveda Salon on property for all the wedding day hair and makeup. Great experience and just a stunning location.
Susan my wedding coordinator was full if helpful ideas, sweet comments, and encouragment when i thought the stress was getting to be too much. My day was beautiful! They ensured everything went exactly how err planned it! I recommend everyone to this place!
This venue is gorgeous! We had our ceremony outside and the flowers and greenery gave us the most beautiful backdrop. The reception was held inside the main event center. It is big, well kept, and beautiful. There is a food dance floor and build in bar that can be used. The best part is this venue also has the Aveda salon attached. I was able to get my nails, hair and makeup all done her at the location which made the whole day very easy and stress free. We got married on a Monday which really cut down the cost of the venue, and actually turned out to be a great night for a wedding. In addition to saving money by having the wedding on a Monday we also got the bridal sweet for the whole day, unlike weekend dates which only have it to use for a few hours. Great staff, that really take time to get to know you and invest in your special day. I would highly recommend this venue!
We wanted an outdoor ceremony in a garden setting with an indoor reception. Brookside fit that perfectly. Our day of coordinator, Linda O'Hare, was excellent and made sure everything went as planned. Our guests made several comments about how beautiful our venue was! They were also very affordable. I would definitely recommend them for weddings or other events. We also used the salon services the day of the wedding. Everyone was very pleased with the results! As someone who doesn't own makeup and who rarely does anything to my hair, it was very important to me that I felt comfortable with the products used on me. Brookside only uses Aveda products and I was pleasantly surprised at my trial to find I didn't feel the need to wash my face immediately like I have when using other products. I worked with Susan, and she did a great job listening to what I wanted. I was very happy with how I looked!
This was the first venue that I looked at with my fiancé and we immediately fell in love! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and it is so convenient to have everything in one location (salon, bride and groom getting ready rooms, ceremony, reception). I got so many compliments on how beautiful this venue was and it was perfect for our day!
The venue is amazing and beautiful. I had a few issues with some of the staff and the spa pricing but overall a great venue.
We used this venue for our recent wedding and were super pleased. We loved the fact that it held our large family and still had room. It is also the ideal venue because it has a ceremony site and reception site all in one location. This means that your family doesn't have to go from place to place on your wedding day. And the best part about Brookside Gardens is the beauty of the property. My favorite is the water feature and the flowers.
Awesome Staff and beautiful grounds with a ton of flowers
Brookside Gardens was the perfect venue for our reception. The staff were incredible, and big garage doors opened the large interior space to a beautifully landscaped garden area. We were given access to groom and bridal suites and made a grand entrance by walking down an exterior staircase into the garden. Couldn't have been better!
Kat did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she did an amazing job! We did a trial before the wedding, where she tried a few different looks and was so sweet and helpful. I cannot put into words how happy I was with how she made me look that day.
Brookside Gardens is the premiere wedding venue in Northern Colorado! It was great working with Ashlea! She was professional, organized and helped with anything we needed. She had a plan for any and all of our questions, which took a lot of stress off of us. Our guests loved the indoor/outdoor setting. It was elegant, cozy, airy, and just plain beautiful!
This place is beautiful and overall the price is pretty good especially when under a tight budget.
They were very helpful throughout the wedding day and were able to handle any problems that arose.
The venue was gorgeous, with great bride and groom rooms. The staff did such a thorough job helping coordinate that we decided to forego a wedding planner.
We have recieved so many compliments from wedding guests about this venue. It was the perfect setting for us and we enjoyed working with them. It was very handy having the salon right there as well, that cut down on a lot of travel the day of the wedding.
The only thing that was a little disappointing was that they started to put down tables slightly before the event was scheduled to be over. I felt this was a little rude.
Beautiful location for an outdoor wedding/reception!
I absolutely loved Brookside Gardens. They have such an amazing space and offer a truly beautiful backdrop to a wedding. The landscaping and hanging flowers were wonderful for numerous photos and the reception sight is very accommodating. Everyone at the wedding raved about how stunning everything turned out.
Everyone worked sooo hard to make the day perfect and it was!! I would recommend Brookside gardens to everyone! BEAUTIFUL!!
