Deer Creek Valley Ranch

ingle day and of all the venues and a huge reason we chose DCVR was because Kelley made us feel like she truly wanted us there. She took the time to walk us through everything and we were super lucky that a Saturday (June 7, 2025) opened up for the homestead. We chose the all inclusive package and all the vendors were amazing especially privé and biscuits and berries. They also had lawn games and we upgraded fire pits for guests to enjoy (both nice touches). 10/10 would get married here again if I couldn’t do it all over again!

t and we loved being able to enjoy the ranch with an outside ceremony, cocktail hour and speeches at the hearth outside and dinner and dancing inside. We rented the venue for an extra night and the seven people getting hair and makeup were able to be in the great suite space comfortably. Having the team on site made it much easier. Now, the team. They are the kindest people. Christian was there with us every step of the way. The all inclusive price can be intimidating, but the experience was so great with the all inclusive team. We were able to plan a wedding in 4 months because of the team. The day of was also relaxed because they had everything covered. We mostly went with the included priced items and it was lovely and excellent! Add ons are not needed. We are pretty sure if we had procured everything ourselves it would have cost more. At the same time if you want to add on they are very accommodating Couldn’t recommend this venue more!

She made my wedding easy from day 1. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, we got married at the Pine Cathedral and used the Homestead for the wedding. They absolutely transformed the ballroom at the Homestead and it was stunning. The facilities at DCVR are so nice and the people are even better! I would highly recommend booking at DCVR.

g to work with and made us so comfortable and stress-free the whole time. You couldn't choose a better venue! We also loved being able to be there overnight which helped our wedding party extend the fun!

welcoming and easy to work with, and their all-inclusive package took sooooo much stress out of planning our big day. I couldn't recommend DCVR more for any couple looking to have a beautiful mountain setting for their wedding.

and planning! Our day was absolutely perfect I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

ntain range in our backdrop with stretches of land and forest - such an authentic rustic atmosphere. Our guests could not stop talking about how magical this place felt and were delighted with deer sightings on the ranch! We loved every single moment here. The Homestead is so intimate and elegant - Pine Cathedral and the Hearth Patio gave us the outdoor sophistication we envisioned, while the Ballroom had the perfect space for dinner and dancing. We especially loved the string lights and ceiling drapes. We worked with a few of the DCVR team, all were so accommodating and wanted to make our day special to us. My husband and I didn't know much about organizing a wedding, but Christian supported us with suggestions and words of wisdom that kept us grounded. Amber was prepared us with wedding day details at our rehearsal and continued to check in while we were getting ready at the ranch house. Cece helped answer our questions as we coordinated with vendors. We truly appreciated the ease of communication and heartfelt service provided to us by the DCVR team. Highly recommend this venue! -Sophi & Brandon

the walk-through a month before, and our guests could not stop talking about the scenery and flow of the whole evening. We've already gotten a few photos back, and they are just incredible. I would recommend working with Christian, Cece, and Amber anytime! 10/10

for our guests, whether they were from Colorado or not, we all enjoyed the views! We loved having all the different spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. Deer Creek was by far the friendliest and most helpful wedding venue we looked at, and we just felt so loved by them. It was amazing!!

just overall wonderful. They have strong relationships with other vendors in the wedding industry which makes the whole planning experience that much easier. Could not recommend more.

emely happy this is where we decided to get married!

in between, DCVR offers amazing wedding locations and reception locations so that you have endless options to choose from. Cece and Christian made the day such a breeze! Leading up to the wedding, they were informative and helped answer any and all questions we had. They made sure that we felt cared for and prepared every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better location! So thankful for DCVR and their entire team. We had the wedding day of our dreams because of them!

(48 hours) they helped us relocate our wedding due to the wildfires in northern Colorado. Cece and Christian made us feel welcome and helped ease the stress of the situation. It all turned out perfectly and my wife and I could not be more happy! Thank you!

ere wonderful and the bridal suite was perfect for the bride and groom! A special thank you to Christian and Cece! They were so incredibly helpful through the entire process and we are so grateful for their help making our daughters special day so perfect. We highly recommend this location for a beautiful Colorado wedding!

venue 27 days before the wedding. In comes Christian, CeCe and DCVR to the rescue. From our first conversation to the end of the night, Christian and CeCe were amazing. Working with us on such a last minute basis, they were calm and helpful throughout. With all that COVID dealt us, we also had to deal with a last minute change due to inclimate weather. None of our guests had a clue that anything was other than what we originally planned. Our daughter's wedding was beautiful, initimate and so very special, made even more wonderful by having it at DCVR.

k with while planning our wedding - especially during such a strange and chaotic year. They went out of their way to keep us informed on any changes regarding COVID and they worked above and beyond to make sure that we were able to still have our day exactly has we had hoped! Deer Creek Valley Ranch is an outstanding venue and I wouldn’t have had my wedding anywhere else!!

Creek did for us. Such a beautiful venue and our wedding was absolutely perfect! <3

ible and they also work with some of the best vendors. I would choose this venue over and over again and highly recommend hiring Deer Creek if you want the best experience possible for your wedding day.

e for granted when a wedding goes perfectly. The field was perfect for the ceremony and photos. The patio was perfect for our happy hour, first dances and cake cutting, and the barn is really neat from the upstairs balcony to the man cave in the basement. Everyone told us our wedding was amazing. Our wedding was in September 2020, but we were able to make great use of the space to keep everyone safe and distanced while still feeling cozy.

the entire process. Ashlyn and I were not just another wedding that they hosted, but we were part of their family. They brought us in and made us feel like one of their own. I couldn’t of asked for a better team. Deer Creek Valley Ranch and its team are hands down the best venue out their.

would bring. Through all the mandates and restrictions, Cece and Christian have been so great to deal with, and so accommodating to my needs/restrictions as a full-time nursing student. Although we had to make some adjustments, my wedding day was still one of the best days of my life, and I know a lot of that has to do with Cece and Christian, and how much hard work they have put in to make DCVR such a beautiful venue. Cece has always been so attentive to any questions or concerns I have had, and has always made herself available to me. Christian was even there day of, and offered to drive me down to the ceremony site in her Tesla, talk about a grand entrance! The kind words and advice shared on our drive is something I'll hold dear in my heart forever. Cece also brought out carrots for us to feed the horses during our golden hour pictures, a little thing to do, but added such a fun memory to a day that is already so special. We were looking for a venue that would give our guests (especially the few out of town ones who we were still able to invite) a taste of what Colorado is. Purposely having a long engagement, I was diligent in venue-shopping all along the front range, and you really cannot find anything better, and at a more affordable rate, than DCVR. I'll be honest, at first I was a little annoyed about having to hire a coordinator, BUT I can now say it was one of the best things I could have done as a bride, and I am actually super grateful that it happened. Christian and Cece have been doing this for awhile, and their experience really shines through. They are the most kind-hearted, genuine, loving people, and I am so glad I got to share my wedding day with them, and have their support throughout the entire planning process. My wedding was nothing short of the perfect day I had envisioned, I can't thank Cece and Christian and everyone else at DCVR enough for that.

ere are amazing views in every direction and you don't have to go far to get epic photos. Even though it was a little colder than expected on our wedding date, our guest were able to huddle around the lovely fireplace on the Duke Terrace. Seems they are constantly making updates and the new and improved bridal suite is AMAZING!!! Cece is a pleasure to work with- very responsive to all and any questions. You can tell she truly cares and loves her job. I didn't mind being limited with the vendors- Peak was great and I highly recommend Serendipity for the catering!!! Overall, can't say enough great things about this venue and the price is great compared to similar set-ups!

leasant conversation and I left the call thinking "You know what? That was very gracious of them." I passed the venue today and randomly checked the review, and I see a reply basically calling us low rent dirtbags. Very disappointed that I get one attitude over the phone, and the complete opposite posted online. Very low class. Anyway, Jen and I were married at Deer Creek Valley Ranch October 13th, 2019, with a guest count of just under fifty. We experienced ongoing disappointment in our dealings with the owners, Christian and Tim, especially after we had made a first payment The smallest requests became large hassles. Something as simple as "Can we use the ceremony chairs for the reception?" or "Can we have a friend or family member act as an informal wedding planner since it's such a small ceremony?" were immediately shot down. Receiving email replies routinely took a week or longer, with us usually having to follow up once or twice before we'd hear back. Often, the answers were blow-offs at best, or downright condescending at worst Deer Creek has an approved vendor list. Their wedding packet states "This ends up saving our clients a lot of money." Three approved caterers we spoke with offered drink service at half the cost of Peak, the sole approved beverage provider. I brought this to Christian and was told "You can't use another beverage provider." I mentioned the saving money quote, then was told "We never said that." I forwarded a screen shot of the packet and then it became "You're just seeing what you want to see" followed by an analogy about misreading a weather report in Hawaii. The last thing I heard on this topic was that the vendors may be misleading us with their quotes, which is an odd thing to say about the venue's approved vendors The sole approved chairs/linens rental company was charging twice what comparable companies in the area were. We asked them to match and they said they'd have to ask the venue (which implies a kickback). They matched chairs, but not linens, and basically said "If you don't like it cancel your order" which we couldn't do, since they're the sole approved vendor Two of the ceremony sites are roughly half a mile, and a mile, up a dirt road. They charge $450 for a shuttle to drive up that road. Meanwhile, a shuttle company charged us $458 to drive from Denver to Bailey and back We asked if they had heat lamps, and they said "No, you can rent them." Bailey can drop to the 30's at night in the Summer, let alone Spring or Fall; the venue can't invest in a couple of heat lamps? Jen asked about coming early for hair and makeup to be done at the venue. They said no because they'd be there at 6am setting up, there may be tours, but that for $750 an hour they could do it. What? How does providing one small area prevent them from setting up? Or giving a tour? Wouldn't they know if a tour were scheduled? How many hours of setup did 6 tables require? Why, when I dropped some bins off at the venue around 8am, was there one woman there vacuuming who told me she was alone all morning? How does paying $750 an hour alleviate any of this? Deer Creek did not provide a warm experience. We would've backed out if these problems occurred before the first deadline

the venue manager is probably one of the greatest people on Earth. She helped us out with so many things I don't think I could possibly list them all. You can tell that she truly loves her job and cares about her customers. When it came to planning our wedding Deer Creek Valley Ranch was by far the best choice we made. If you are thinking about having a wedding here but are on the fence about it I'll give you some advice. Book here, you will not regret it.

ting to your needs and answer emails really quick making the planning process so much easier. The venue itself is breathtaking and all our guests were complementing how beautiful everything was. Our wedding was on Oct 11, 2019 a day after Colorado’s first snow. The whole week before the wedding was in the 80’s and then the day before the wedding it was snowy and in the 20’s. We were still able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and first dances outside due to the care of the ranch’s team getting things cleared for us. I would highly suggest this venue to anyone who is planning a wedding or any other type of event. We had our ceremony at The Gazebo and our reception in the Barn. The guests absolutely loved the “man cave”!

e venue is breathtaking, and has something for everyone. We had our wedding at The Barn, which includes two options for an outdoor ceremony, both capturing the beauty of the valley. The Barn was perfect for the reception and dancing (and lots of dancing), and kept things intimate and efficient. Cece and her staff definitely went the extra mile to make sure our day was perfectly hours. I can't thank them enough for that in taking all the calls from my planner...and my dad, to make that happen. Our wedding day we were visited by one of the great Colorado staples- late afternoon thunderstorms. We really wanted to have the reception outside, so Cece and our wedding crew planned for that. But with multiple backup options. We ended up having to use the backup options, but even that was perfect! Cece and her staff went out of the way to move everyone indoors, and make sure the ceremony was still part of our vision. I will never forget this day, and it's all thanks to DCVR and Cece.

nset was incredible. There is not other place we would have wanted to get married.

and outdoorsy, that would introduce our many travelling guests to the best Colorado has to offer and also provide an easy flow of events throughout our day. I also wanted a venue that would make sure we were the only couple getting married there that day and give us at least 10 hours on-site. Lastly, we needed a dog-friendly spot that would allow us to have our pup in our ceremony. Our main focus in planning our event was ease, accessibility, and FUN—we didn’t want to waste any time on needless formality, we just wanted a gorgeous place to have the best celebration ever. And we got all that and more, thanks to the facilities at DCVR and the team there (especially Cece) completely understanding and honoring what we wanted. Our day was so perfect I can’t even believe it. It was pouring rain just an hour before our ceremony at the Gazebo, and I had pretty much accepted getting married in the drizzle that was left by the time it rolled around, and yet… the sky cleared literally right before I walked down the aisle. Butterflies were flying around during our ceremony, the horses were out… it was just absolutely magical. I will treasure my memories of our day at DCVR forever.

y. The setting is so beautiful. I would not change a thing about my special day. Cece runs the ranch for the owners and she is the sweetest!

t you're happy with everything. If you're looking for a big beautiful ranch, with a rustic, sophisticated feel to it, and enough room for a hundred people this is the place to go!

how gorgeous the views are out there!

ibly unique and very 'Colorado,' with a great history. The whole day was absolutely better then I ever imagined.

aving my wedding here was absolutely perfect and I wouldn't have changed it for anything. :)

pful and they wanted to ensure our vision was met as well. We're very happy with our experience!

acility, breathtaking meadow...what more need be said? This father of one of the brides was blown away!!

an additional engagement session, which can be used for anything, which we will probably use for our newborn photos as we are now expecting! You get the whole venue to yourself the entire day so there is no sharing or confusion! There are horses on the property that you can take photos with which was a huge selling point to us! The size of the venue was perfect for our 100 guests, not too big, not too small! They have two locations for your ceremony to take place, we chose the gazebo which was beautiful! Highly recommend this venue!

e DCVR again for our wedding!

all kind and make you feel like family. I had my destination wedding there and my guests RAVED about how amazing everything was! They couldn't get over the fact that they could dance and then hang out in the man cave during the reception! It was truly a wonderful day and I couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. If you're having a Colorado, laid back wedding....this place can't be beat!

autiful barn, and the man cave is just so much fun! My husband and I are so happy we chose this venue for our big day. We wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else!

’d recommend it to anyone who wants a gorgeous mountain wedding!

uests. Completely exceeded all expectations and I really cannot say enough about how wonderful everyone is.

with. I look forward to taking more brides to Deer Creek!!
