We recently had our daughter’s wedding at Craftwood Inn, and could not be happier! We had heard it was amazing venue and experience, so our expectations were pretty high, but the team, atmosphere, and experience exceeded them. Natalie was our coordinator, and she was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, detail oriented, and a pleasure to work with - it went off without a hitch. She was assisted by Israel during the wedding day, and the transition was seamless - he handled everything without issue as well. We owe a huge thanks to Natalie, Israel, and entire staff at Craftwood Inn for making our milestone filled with terrific memories.

Our wedding day at Craftwood Peak was amazing!!! :)
We loved having Katrina & Violet as coordinators and we felt so supported, calmed, and comfortable! Everything we talked about leading up to the day went as discussed on the day of. Katrina helped do the groomsmen's boutonnières and saved the day!
Israel did a great job calming me down before I came down the waterfall path and made sure we had everything we needed later in the evening!
DJ Tim was high-energy and clearly enjoyed what he was doing! He was very easy to work with as well!

This venue is so gorgeous with so many amazing photo locations! They have all-inclusive packages that make your day so much less stressful. We just got married here 10.17.25, and the staff we had went above and beyond to give us such an amazing day. Katrina, Natalie, Dan, and Maggie did so many things to give us special moments throughout the night, like making sure we always had a special drink on hand, writing us personalized cards, and capturing a magical moment of our last dance with sparklers. Our wedding day will be in my memories forever and the details our team did for us will be our favorite moments of our special day!

We just got married at Craftwood Peak and I cannot say enough good things about them. The coordinators were excellent, the food was great, the bar service was top notch, and we used all their recommended vendors except for the photographer. They helped us customize anything we wanted to, and they allowed us to hire the Rocky Mountain Beverage Burros to pass drinks during cocktail hour. Honestly choosing to get married there and work with them was one of the best decisions we made through our entire process. So many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and they've been to lots of weddings. Some of our guests worked in the wedding industry and were all impressed about how perfectly the night was managed. I highly recommend them.
Special shout-outs to Natalie, Landon, and Katie for being incredible to work with and making sure our day was perfect. Our DJ Maggie kept the night running smoothly and made sure the dance floor was hopping.

We had our wedding at Craftwood Peak and could not be happier with the experience. Their all-inclusive package made planning so easy. Food, DJ, cake, flowers and a huge selection of décor were all included. The only extras we arranged ourselves were our photographer and some custom pergola décor.
From the moment we arrived, Natalie, our event coordinator, made everything seamless. She went above and beyond, even helping with my dress when my matron of honor fell ill. I truly felt like royalty the entire day thanks to her attentiveness and calm presence.
Israel, the banquet captain, kept the evening running smoothly after dinner. At one point I worried that our extra desserts had gone missing. He searched tirelessly while still keeping everything on track. It turned out the desserts were never delivered from our Airbnb, which was our mistake, and he could not have been kinder about it.
Our bartender, Ben, kept the drinks flowing and the energy up all night, chatting with guests and even helping in the dessert search.
The venue itself is beautiful, but the staff made the day unforgettable. If you want a place where you can relax and enjoy your wedding knowing every detail is handled, Craftwood Peak is an excellent choice.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience; every single person we worked with went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Natalie was absolutely amazing as our coordinator. She was so organized, friendly, accommodating, and truly cared about making sure everything was exactly how we envisioned. Jenny was incredible too; I believe she was shadowing Natalie, and she did such a great job.
Helen, our bartender, was fantastic. She made amazing drinks, kept the energy fun, and we received multiple compliments from guests about how wonderful she was. Stephanie and Jaxson, our servers, worked so hard to keep everything running smoothly and made sure everything was clean and our guests were happy.
Our chefs, John and Tristan, were outstanding, truly a 10/10. The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved it. Our DJ, Anneliese, completely understood the vibe we were going for. She was fun, energetic, and kept the party going all night. We loved that she celebrated with us and made the night feel so personal.
Lastly, I cannot thank the planning team enough, Natalie, Violet, Katie, Jenny, and Kayla. They made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Everyone always told me planning a wedding would be overwhelming, but thanks to this incredible team, my experience was the complete opposite. I am beyond grateful for all of them for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

I am not even sure where to start. I may be partial, but this is the best wedding I have ever attended. It was raining and Natalie did not blink. My daughter insisted she was entering by coming down the rock path, rain or not. They made it work. They passed out clear umbrellas, wiped down seats and asked for permission to start 5 minutes early. The minute the bride started her walk, the rain stopped. It was beautiful! Natalie was a God send! She made sure everything went as planned and when it didn’t, no one would have known it was not planned. We had one issue, not Craftwood’s fault. I found Natalie, discussed the issue, she called on Jenny, the Captain, and Saoma, the co-captain, who flawlessly set out two additional place settings for guests that were not expected. Natalie has been an angel on earth from the moment we booked Craftwood. Dan was our bartender for the night. He was a blast. I never heard “we don’t have that”. In our package, Craftwood provided everything to include water, tea and coffee along with beer and cocktails. Again – Dan was and probably still is the MAN! Jenny and Saoma were great! Let me tell you, they were both on the ball. Appetizers were carried around the guests on trays. We felt so fancy. Dinner was so good! If you have the choice of a carving station, go for it! You will not be disappointed. I wish I had asked the gentleman’s name carving the meat – it was perfect. Jenny and Saoma seemed to be everywhere at once. From the lady’s cottage to cocktail hour to time to go home, they made sure everything was perfect. Now let me talk about dancing. I think my daughter will agree that we were hoping that people would dance but were expecting lulls. DJ Maestro got the party started and kept it going. At one point DJ Maestro(Maggie) shouted you guys know how to keep the party going – nope – Maggie knows how to keep a party going. All in all, Craftwood Peak was one of the best decisions the bride and groom made. We could not have dreamed of anything better. Our family is still talking about the wedding, the venue and the staff. The staff seemed like old friends. We loved them so much we made sure we got pictures. Thank you Natalie, Jenny, Saoma, Dan, Dj Maggie Maestro and everyone behind the scenes at Craftwood. You made a bride’s dream come true and will forever be a part of a memory that will stay with us forever.

Craftwood Peak is such a magical place! It made all my fairytale dreams come true! The staff was amazing and so helpful every step of the way! I really want to shoutout Natalie for her amazing coordination and being there for us throughout our special day! I also was to shoutout Jada for taking over at the reception and always checking in with us! Both of these women near how to keep a smile on our faces. Everybody on the team knew how to create our vision with our decor and make our dream day a reality. So much love goes towards this venue and team, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

Craftwood Peak was truly astonishing in terms of quality and delivery. They were marketed as all inclusive or almost all inclusive, and they really do a great job receiving communications and building your plan up. It was just so nice to think about the fun decisions (dress, place to stay, invites) and let them provide the materials and the decision-making process for all of the less exciting things (linens, timeline, even small stuff like table numbers.)
The venue itself is extremely charming. I recommend pushing hard for the ceremony and photos to be outside, as the lighting inside is fine but nothing can stand up to the natural sunlight coming over the Rockies. We did photos beforehand in Garden of the Gods which was also a great move, because once the ceremony begins, Craftwood really moves you along to make sure you eat and enjoy your bar and dance floor (thank god!)
All of the staff the day of was tremendously responsive and professional, with extra shout-outs to our day coordinator Natalie and banquet coordinator Jenny. The one-two punch of sweet little touches at dinner (how did Natalie do it????) PLUS lemon drop shots delivered to me on the dance floor (Jenny is a real homie) meant everything. I suspect, though, that you don't need to special-request Natalie and Jenny -- everyone we spoke with was tremendously professional, so I suspect that is just the level of quality.
Overall, it was perfect. It might not be right for everyone (for example, a family with a lot of folks with mobility constraints would struggle with the stairs), but if the stairs aren't a problem and you're looking for the right blend of hand-holding and creative freedom, it's great.

The entire Craftwood Team was amazing! From day one their communication and attention to detail was phenomenal !
They made us feel like we were their only client's and ensured that every element of our wedding was attended to. The day of- Natalie, Jenny, Tyler were outstanding. Our guests raved about the food and the overall beauty of the venue. Jenny and Natalie treated us like royalty, making sure we wanted for nothing!
The vendors we worked with wonderful. Dawn did an amazing job with our florals, Charlie with the drapery for the pergola and Tina Joiner for our photos. Just unreal!
The only hiccup was our DJ was sick on the day of our wedding and needed a last minute substitute. Some of our music choices got lost in translation; however, it was noticed only by me and my husband.
I wish I could get remarried there every weekend...to the same man of course!

Craftwood Peak with Wedgewood Weddings is a truly fantastic venue. It has so much personality without being tryhard quirky. And it helped us so much to have so much included or managed directly through the venue rather than having to juggle everything alone. The minimum cost being based on the size of our wedding rather than the specific venue didn't hurt either. It was so helpful to have money already set aside to put towards things like the cake, desserts, florals, etc. just by working with Wedgewood.
Natalie and Katie took such good care of us both in the planning stage. Katie was to be our day-of coordinator, but the day before our wedding she had a nasty fall and ended up with a pretty severe injury. Even so, she still showed up on our wedding day to make sure that the reigns were safely handed to Kayla to care for the rest of our ceremony. Kayla pulled a perfect ceremony out of tetchy weather and stressful family politics. We quite literally could not have done it without her.
Our Banquet Captain was Becca who was just wonderful to us. We and our guests were well-attended through every beat of our reception. It was such a relief knowing that anything that needed doing was being done without our needing to manage whatever fiddly thing. She was a star.
Our bartender, Tyler, was marvelous in his role. He did a great job translating wishy-washy vague requests into actual delicious drinks. He also went out of his way to learn a specific recipe that we requested ahead of time. He's a total gem and we so appreciated his hard work during our reception!
Our chefs Dylan and John totally knocked it out of the park with our meal. We had a buffet-style dinner with multiple options so that people with any dietary restrictions or preferences would have plenty to choose from. Everything was delicious, to the point that even the notoriously picky mother-of-the-bride complimented a dish featuring an ingredient she normally finds offensive.
The entire staff of the venue were absolute heroes to us through the months of planning and the final execution of our special day. Thank you all SO MUCH! To anyone reading, believe the hype. This place rules.

I truly can’t say enough incredible things about Craftwood Peak and their team. They helped us have the most incredible wedding day, that went above and beyond our expectations. Natalie and Liam were truly gems and took all of the stress out of wedding planning and the day of. The communication leading up to our actual event left us with a sense of peace that made us feel so prepared for our wedding week. We have gotten hundreds of compliments from guests saying that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The venue itself was truly something out of a fairytale with its beauty and charm, the staff was amazing, the food was incredible, the vibes were immaculate and truly we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will forever be thankful for craftwood and the gift of the PERFECT wedding day!

I had my wedding 10/24/24 and with the nerves and the chaos was making me quiet and the first question asked was “how do I help?” By Nathalie. In that moment I knew our wedding was in wonderful hands. She constantly checked on me and genuinely cared about everything I was feeling. Since the very first meeting with her she knew how the day would go she was genuine!!!
I want to give a shoutout to everyone there!!

I am in AWE. Number 1, having a wedding coordinator is a must. And Natalie was amazing!! She took care of everything, from planning meetings, final meetings, rehearsal, day of timing and keeping everything on track. She is marvelous.
This venue is mostly all included, DJ, catering, table settings, center pieces. And I love that you can do the ceremony and reception all in once place. It has the coziest mountain feeling to it while still being extremely classy. Food tastes amazing, the DJ service is very personalized - and they help you the whole entire way. You get this giant planning book once you officially book & it really helps. Anytime we had random concerns or questions we would just email them and be contacted back within the same day. The price fully depends on how many guests you plan on having, we had a 53 person wedding and it was VERY affordable for an all included place. They also do all your day of set up including any decor you choose to provide at the rehearsal! Wedgewood made the planning actually fun and enjoyable! I was stress feee the entire day! Lots of adorable places for photos too, especially in the fall with all the colors. Thank you Wedgewood for making mine and Tyler’s day PERFECT.

I had very good experience with Craftwood peak.
The good:
The vibe is rustic, but clean and well maintained. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and doesn't need much decor as the greenery and flowers of the venue are so beautiful. Too bad we didn't get to use it because of the rain.
The getting ready space for the bride is comfortable and had everything you could need in case of an emergency.
I loved that the dining and the dancing areas were separated so that there was no shuffling tables and hasty cleanup and everyone was able to get to the dancing right the way.
Our planners Katie and Riley were fantastic. They both were helpful every step of the way helping us pick little details and finding us ways to save money. On the day of Katie reorganized the ceremony in 20 minutes and did it seamlessly.
Fatima was our banquet capitan and took great care of us checking in just often enough to be attentive but not annoying.
We went with recommend desert vendor (Sugarplum shoppe) and ordered cupcakes and vegan chocolate covered strawberries. Both were to die for! The cupcakes were perfect size, great frosting and filling, not messy and incredibly delicious. The strawberries were great as well, they used oat milk chocolate to accommodate our vegan and GF guests.
The not so good:
My partner and I did not love our food. It was just ok. When we toured Katie told us that the chef at Craftwood peak was the best one in the region, so we were excited about our apps and meal. The apple brie philo kisses had the tiniest little pieces of brie in them and the chicken and waffles tasted like frozen waffles and baked pop corn chicken. My partner's chicken was tough and my roast beef was overcooked. The sides were fine. I liked the number of salad options. Maybe we were unlucky with our portions because multiple guests raved about how good the food was.
We did not do fully open bar, but instead opted for wine and beer package with a special drink that we brought to the venue with their approval. Unfortunately, they did not display the drink for our guests and majority of it went unused. They never gave us back the drinks that were not consumed.
Overall I would recommend the Craftwood Peak venue. The price was great, the planning was easy and the day of felt effortless.

Our experience with Craftwood Peak for our wedding was amazing! It is such a beautiful venue and we fell in love with the building right away. From our initial tour all the way through send off after our ceremony and reception, Craftwood was a joy to work with and took great care of us. Even though we were planning from out of state, they made the process easy and made sure everything was covered. There were many extra little touches that really stood out – from a printed photo at our sweetheart table of us just after getting married to being sent off at the end of the night with an extra meal and cake. We especially loved the 5 minutes to ourselves just after getting married with a spread of appetizers and our favorite drinks. Our coordinators, Katie and Natalie, were a joy to work with and so on top of everything. They really made our wedding day go smoothly and allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our day.

The staff made it easy, light, professional and fun all at the same time! Kayla and Katie carried the weight of the complexities of so many moving parts - their seasoned experience and creative insights ensured we had a perfect wedding and reception. Our meal was fantastic and Natalie made sure everyone was able to navigate the meal process. Riley worked his tail off during the open bar...great hustle to keep everyone served and topped off.
Our guests were extremely complimentary on the food and the attentive staff. Food was definitively better than any wedding reception food we have ever tasted. All of the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly, without any stress on the bride and groom. We will give recommendations to any of our friends that are looking for an amazing venue for their event!
Hands down the best place to have a function!

The personnel employed at Craftwood Peak by Wedgewood Weddings are absolutely amazing, BAR NONE!! From the meticulously planned details to the incredible customer service, I simply cannot say enough about this company. The venue is so magical, charming, and warm. It really felt like home. Katie our event coordinator went above and beyond when my husband forgot to put my vows in his coat pocket. Katie ran to the groom's suite, found my vows, and saved the day. The food was DELICIOUS. We received so many compliments on the food. The service staff during the reception were so attentive and kind. Everyone had a smile on their face and was there to help. DJ Maggie K who was recommended through the venue was awesome! She knew exactly how to curate the perfect atmosphere for our perfect day. Everyone came up to us and could not say enough positive things about our wedding. Thank you to the staff at Craftwood Peak for making our special day the absolute best.

tl;dr The entire process was not perfect (it never is) but definitely made up for it the day of! The attention to detail was phenomenal & would recommend for anyone planning a wedding to consider this venue. Check out the *** bullet points for the highlights.
- The venue is really picturesque. We wanted an adventure / rustic mountain theme and the area definitely captured that with the mountains in the back and the cute cottages. The photographer had an abundant amount of backgrounds on the premises to utilize.
- We can't ding Wedgewood Weddings for the hiccups that occurred during the planning process as I never heard of a perfectly smooth wedding. Their process really streamlined the planning aspects & when there was requests/corrections to be made, they definitely took the feedback and fixed it!
- ***We really liked that they had vendors built into the packages, especially for a decision paralysis person like myself. We utilized the DJ, Florist, & Cake vendors (which were all wonderful!) and opted out of the photographer. The advantage is they are familiar with the space so the day of setup was seamless.
- Instead of having a single planner, you have a team of planners that pick up the meetings & questions you may have. The advantage of this is the response time is quick. The disadvantage we observed was they might not be as intimately familiar with your specific details at a given moment; however, that did NOT become a factor the day of but something to be aware of.
- Requests during the planning phases took a bit more nudging from our end for the requests to be honored. For example, they do not offer private tastings and had to insist given we were not impressed with the food offered at their quarterly preview for couples and food is our top priority. They finally did offer which helped us feel confident with our menu choices. The chef (John) also went above and beyond to take care of our guests with more particular dietary restrictions (Vegetarian, Vegan, GF, & nightshade allergy).
- ***Speaking of above and beyond, my goodness the entire staff was amazing! I know I stated that the entire process was not perfect but the day certainly was; they captured every detail we had requested, even tedious ones like tying twine & stuffing rosemary as part of the guest napkin display. A large chunk of guests had commented on how detailed & attentive everything was.
- ***They were super attentive & anticipated our needs throughout the entire day: Natalie (our banquet captain) was on a mission to find us periodically (as you bounce around everywhere) & one time, when I had asked for a water, she already had one prepared for me in her hands. Katie (our ceremony coordinator) flawlessly orchestrated the ceremony, even when more than half of our wedding party missed the dress rehearsal. I also absolutely loved the personalized congrats cards from the both of them-- I could tell they were invested in making the wedding shine.
- Max guest count for this venue is 150. We did max out and the venue felt a little congested at times, particularly during the ceremony & traditional reception events (dinner, cake cutting, etc). However, the venue was fantastic once guests could free roam as there were many places for guests to hang out.

We had our wedding here on March 14th, and saying it was amazing would be an understatement! From the planning to the execution, it was one of the easiest things I've ever done - and this is from someone who planned their wedding in four months from Texas!
My absolute favorite thing about Craftwood Peak (other than its cute charm) is that they had packages that included pretty much everything that you could need and add-ons that you didn't even know you wanted until you saw it! The site manager is also phenomenal and will take care of anything possible within her power. Kayla is amazing, hands down. She talked with my dad about the contract down to the minute details, which in itself, would make me choose Craftwood Peak over and over again!
The planning meeting is so seamless (shoutout to Katie) and is where you make the bulk of your decisions - they have all the color samples laid out for you and walk you through your wedding. Of course, there are a couple more meetings where adjustments can be made, but Katie stayed with us the whole time!
On the day of, you have an attendant/"captain" (shoutout to Riley & Natalie) who stays with you from the moment you get on site until they finish packing you up and sending you home! Neither of us had any worries on our wedding day, even with the blizzard that surprised us all! Our bartender Helen was a hit all around as well!! She was amazing and made sure that we were supplied with drinks, but helped keep them out of pictures, which was amazingly thoughtful!!
Also, their preferred vendors are amazing!! Our florist Dawn (Dawn's Creations) was the literal best - I couldn't have chosen a better florist if I had tried. Our DJ Will (DJ Maestro) changed things last minute for us and gave us a special last song with just the two of us at the night's end. But the real winner was our photographer/videographer. There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dan and Jeremiah (New Concept Photography) are!

My beautiful bride and I just got married there on Sunday and let me tell you the experience was magical. Because of the efforts of the staff we had absolutely zero stress and were left to fully enjoy every part of our day. The venue is beautiful, comfortable and very well kept. It gives off a rustic fairytale wedding vibe and in my opinion requires no extra decoration outside of flowers. A special thanks to all of the staff: Katie, you exemplify top tier service perfectly and were a joy to work with. Natalie, you had to make a couple of things happen on the fly and you did amazing! Thank you for working so hard to make us happy you are the best! Riley, you worked your tail off day of and were so sweet to us during the planning process we can’t thank you enough. Also, thank you to the other bartender, Riley, thank you to our other server Steph, chef John, food was exemplary. We would also recommend working with New Concept photography and DJ Maggie, both were a joy!

From start to finish, the entire process of working with the Craftwood Peak team was great! I felt supported through wedding planning and our actual day went really smoothly. I cannot imagine a lower-stress wedding!

We were incredibly impressed by the level of organization and dedication that was put into our wedding at Craftwood Peak. From the pre-wedding planning meetings to the binder we were given to fill out all of our ideas and details, everything was thoughtfully executed. I tend to be very picky and slow to make decisions, but Rachel and Alex helped me figure out my vision and were super flexible throughout the entire planning and set up process. The whimsical and cozy atmosphere of the venue was exactly what we were looking for, and Rachel, Alex, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Neither of us had to worry about anything on our special day. One of the things we loved most about booking the venue was that it came with a variety of services, including catering, DJ, bar, and some decor, which made the planning process much easier. We even got to use the cute little cottage space to get ready before leaving for the ceremony. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Craftwood Peak and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique, and stress-free wedding venue. We felt that the team at Craftwood truly cared about us and helped us achieve the wedding we envisioned.

Magical, Enchanted and Perfect describes my son and daughter in laws Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome party and it could not have happened without Wedgewood Weddings and their ver the top amazing team! I planned an event from across the nation having only been at the Craftwood Peak for a few minutes and Rachel and Alex’s attention to detail, follow up and constant communication with me made the night seamless! Helen was the bartender who kept everyone happy with a full glass with a great attitude and our servers Natalie, Riley and Whitney were efficient and gracious, AJ kept things moving efficiently and Chef John did not dissappoint! Thank you Wedgewood Weddings, Rachel, Alex and the whole team for making our night so special and successful. The Venue speaks for itself and cannot be beat. The Wedding was at the Broadmoor and our event was a “Magicial” beginning to a fairytale wedding. If anyone is looking for an event to remember look no further. I am planning another son’s event for September 2024 and so wish Wedgewood Weddings was in Austin! Just Amazing!

Craftwood peak did amazingly. They took so much stress off my plate. They took care of everything and even followed me around like a princess making sure I didn't have to do anything. Rachel was wonderful and I don't remember the name of the person following me around but they were great as well. I'm not good with staying on schedule but they mad sure (to the best of their ability) that everything stayed on schedule.

Elliot and Alex are the best! They both worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect. The venue was beautiful and set up just as I had hoped. The food was great, all the guests had nothing but good things to say about it. Chef John did great! The rest of the team, Natalie, Whitney, Helen & AJ helped to make it a very special memory for the two of us! But special thanks to Alex and Elliot for all the extra work they did for me!

My daughter and son-in-law were married at the Craftwood Peak last week, and I couldn't have asked for a better staff and facility. The pre-wedding food tasting with Elliot and Georgina were nicely managed and the pre-wedding coordination meeting to set up the wedding timeline and decorations with Rachel were very thorough. The facility was beautiful, and the food choices were excellent. My favorite part is that the facility has two floors so as some of the guest danced the night away on the second floor, the other guests could socialize in the lower level or outside by the firepit.
If you want a unique wedding experience in the Colorado area close to Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs, then I would highly recommend this facility.

We had a great experience through and through. They really went out of their way to move the ceremony outside on a rainy day when the sun came out at the last minute. It was perfect!

This was such a wonderful venue to have our wedding. It was beautiful, the food was amazing and the owners and staff were so helpful, professional and efficient! It ended up raining on our wedding day, but everything turned out perfect because they have a room set up in case it rains.
Brian also managed tons of detail from the minute to the major, he had everything under control! The other companies that were included in the package were also excellent. We had a fantastic wedding day at the New Craftwood Inn!

Brian, Dave, and the whole crew made our wedding day on 4/27/18 unforgettable! Our first encounter with the Craftwood Inn was during their tasting where we met some vendors and got to taste a wide variety of Brian's delicious food. The Craftwood Inn was the first venue that we visited, and they set the bar so high, that despite looking at several venues all over the state of CO; we couldn't picture getting married anywhere else. Brian and Dave were very professional, responsive, and accommodating. Throughout our wedding ceremony and reception, the entire staff made sure that everything ran smoothly and ensured that my husband and me had enough to eat! Our guests couldn't stop raving about Brian's cooking. You can definitely tell that it was prepared by a veteran/seasoned chef.
The venue and the location were picturesque. We enjoyed having everything at one location, the centralization made the whole day stress free for us. The Bridal Cottage and the Groom's Den were a unique addition that we didn't see at any other venues that we've looked at, especially the Bridal Cottage. The ceremony backdrop with the waterfalls, the pergola, and the breathtaking views of the mountains with Pikes Peaks provided an atmosphere which made us feel like we were in a secluded mountain hideaway.
Compared to other competitors, the Craftwood Inn was a fantastic value and worth every penny. We wish we could celebrate all over again, and we would recommend their services to anyone who asks!

Not only is this wedding venue picturesque, they are organized, communicate often/clearly, and their many years of experience led for an easy day for my husband and I. The Craftwood Inn had recommended vendors, which we used for flowers & DJ, making the day's schedule easy to follow.
This venue provides the catering and a bartender, the food was outstanding, and I'm still getting compliments from our guests on it a week later. We went with their standard decor, which worked perfectly for us, and went well for photos. Brian and his team is flexible about the potential for indoor or outdoor, letting me even decide the morning of.
I had my fairytale wedding, and did not feel stressed or concerned the day of, which I am certain is in part to how prepared the Craftwood Inn was for our special day.
Our guests, my husband, and I were met with friendly and helpful service throughout the evening. Could not have asked for more!

This was absolutely the best venue we could have booked for our wedding. We wanted an intimate setting for our family and closest friends to be able to appreciate the mountain views. You can't beat a venue in the heart of the Springs, with Pike's Peak shining in the background. Garden of the Gods is right down the road and it made for amazing post-reception pictures.
Brian was incredibly easy to work with, from the initial booking to the to-go boxes for our cake. 😃 We were coming in from out of state, so finalizing everything had to be done as efficiently as possible to minimize the number of trips needed before the wedding. His vendor partners are fabulous and they all work well together - our planning was finished in a day! Selecting the menu was the most difficult part of the process because EVERYTHING sounded phenomenal. I can't tell you how many compliments we received on our selections during the reception. One of my aunts, who has attended her fair share of weddings, said that Brian's food was by far the best she's ever had at a reception. He made sure that my husband's vegetarian aunt was taken care of as well, with her own vegetarian entree to go along with the buffet options.
Throughout the big day, Brian also made sure to check in with the bridal party to see if there was anything else he could do to make the day go by smoothly, all the while making the meal I spoke of earlier! The day went off without any issues and I know Brian had A LOT to do with the flawless execution.

Words cannot express how pleased we were with the Craftwood Inn venue (and amazing staff). I planned an out-of-state wedding and Brian was there for any email or call to discuss last minute details or assure me we were 'good to go'. The venue is beautiful and the food was simply amazing (or friends still rave about it). The upstairs area was perfect for our guests and had room for a photo booth (must have for me) and plenty of space on the dance floor for partying all night! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.

This was the best day of my life! From beginning to end, Bobbie at the Craftwood Inn made the wedding planning so easy! They had a package that included DJ/music services, wedding cake, catering, location of venue for ceremony and rehearsal, setting up of our decor and favors, champagne toast and I'm sure I'm missing something because it was almost all inclusive besides the flowers and the photographer. It was all at a very affordable price too! Our wedding was everything I had imagined and more. The food was splendid and the DJ was awesome, he played all of the music we wanted. We did do a daytime wedding which made it much cheaper because with an evening wedding you have to buy out the whole restaurant. We ended up staying next door at the bed and breakfast and moved the festivities there around 4:30pm. Anywhoo, if you are recently engaged definitely check this place out!

Amazing food. What we received for the price (location, food, alcohol, venue,dj) would have have cost us double else where. We loved having our wedding and reception here as it was such a quaint and unique venue in the mountains.
