This venue is just beautiful. We got married at the carriage house (there are 2 venues at this location) and it couldn't have been more wonderful. The ceremony site is lined with b...
eautiful wood benches and the background is where their horses roam. The reception area is on a beautiful wood balcony with all the perfect feels. The backdrop to every angle is hills, horses, beautiful trees. The downside is the getting ready area is outdated. They made enhancements to it from the first time we went, but it can still use some newer upkeep. Shawn and Kim are great owners and were very responsive through our wedding process. We had so many compliments on how cute the venue and setting was!
We loved this venue. The beauty speaks for itself and the owners Shawn and Kim were easy to work with and professional. We have gotten the best feedback from our guests that Shawn ...
was so kind to everyone.
Ellis Ranch was honestly the perfect spot for our wedding. We were able to bring in our own food for catering and weren't bogged down by "preferred vendors". It was really nice to ...
be able to have whichever vendors we chose to have there. Additionally, it was a huge point for the staff at Ellis to already have tables and chairs setup ready to go so we could just focus on decorating for the ceremony and reception. We really loved the outdoor and indoor and how there wasn't an extra charge for having the ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. Shawn and Kim were very good at communicating leading up to and on our wedding day. They were so great about listening to our wants and making them a reality. The only downside was that we couldn't get in until 1 unless we paid extra. Other than that, everything ran so smoothly and the Ellis' made sure it was as stress free of a wedding as can be. I would recommend this place to any bride getting married in the Wyoming/Colorado area.
Shawn and Kim were just amazing to work with for our 30 person wedding. All communication was super quick for every email and question we had. Shawn made us feel relaxed the entire...
time we were working with them and was flexible to what we had envisioned for our wedding.
The venue is just STUNNING! The way the rocks glow at sunset took our breath away. The porch with the fire ring for smores and the outdoor ceremony site was perfect for our relaxed, Colorado fall wedding. The decoration choices were awesome. We were able to show our guests the best of Colorado at Ellis Ranch.
If you are looking for a wedding venue from 10-300 people, Ellis Ranch should be at the top of your list.

eremony site and reception site, any caterer your heart desires, and a smooth streamlined process. We chose Forever Entertainment as our DJ/MC, and photographer/videographer and they have worked with Ellis so much that it made our day even better. Ellis does make you utilize their bar services and you cannot bring in outside alcohol, but overall they provide mixed drinks, beer, wine, ciders, white claws, etc so it was a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!!
My wedding was AWESOME, and a lot of that had to do with Ellis Ranch. Shawn & Kim were amazing, and the venue was beautiful. We barely had to decorate due to the look of the barn, ...
it was already so pretty. It was big and beautiful, fitting all of our guests and giving us plenty of space for dancing. The ceremony site is so cool with the benches, and is located so conveniently outside the reception area. I can't express enough how happy I am I chose Ellis Ranch to host my wedding; it made the night so much more memorable.
Best place ever to have a wedding!!! Highly recommend them to everyone and anyone! Great people and great place!!!

ey, about what he has seen work and not work. Our wedding turned out just like what I envisioned. A dream come true wedding. Our guests did express that the prices for alcoholic drinks were expensive in comparison to other weddings they had attended. What I was told was that a beer was $6.00.
Shawn and Kim were amazing!!!
First of all I always support local business. And they are local but ran it like pro's. They made everything about our day so easy. Shawn communicated...
everything we might need to know at our walk through, and Kim answered every random email I sent her with silly questions. They were there during the event, out of the way but helping when needed and even doing some bar tending. They were so great, I would give them 10 5-star reviews if I could. Also, the venue was BEAUTIFUL and we booked a Thursday night so it was totally affordable. I would highly recommend. We loved it!!

g. Every aspect of the ceremony and reception was organized and the communication with the owners was wonderful. I had so many guests comment on what a perfect wedding it was and how much fun they had at the reception. The venue is worth every penny (and be sure to hire the horse and carriage!) They truly helped our daughter create a fairly tale wedding!!

My husband and I had our wedding on July 21st, 2017 at the Ellis Ranch Event Center in Loveland, CO. First of all, as a horse lover, one of the main reasons we chose Ellis Ranch wa...
s because of the carriage ride, and I can honestly say, IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! I mean how many brides can say they were escorted to and from the isle in a horse drawn carriage? We chose the event center because we originally started out with a guest list of almost 200, and even though our final guest count ended up being a little less than 100, I am still glad we chose the event center. It gave us plenty of room to move around and I loved the rustic design and up-lighting. The day of our wedding it started to rain, so we were both worried because we had be looking forward to having our ceremony outside. Shawn calmly assured us, “ we’ll wait a few minutes to see if it stops, and if it doesn’t, we’ll wait a few more minutes.” We ended up having our ceremony outside, and although we still got spit on a little, it was well worth it. Kim and Shawn, and all of the Ellis family and staff were so friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this BEAUTIFUL venue to any couple looking to “get hitched”. Thank you all for helping to make our special day so wonderful!

nt service before, during and after the wedding. I chose to be my own wedding planner and would not have been successful without the well-organized process Ellis has. They gave us a list of things we need to remember on the wedding day, provided us with plenty of options for decorating, bar service and linens. My favorite part was they let us have the wedding we wanted, they would offer advice when needed but allowed us to make it our own. The facility was spotless and everything was setup exactly like we had asked the moment we walked in the venue for our wedding day. The horse and carriage ride into the ceremony is well worth the money, I still have family members, friends and coworkers coming up to me raving about how “magical” that entrance was!
The Carriage House wedding and reception site was perfect! It was beautiful, easily accessible and had everything we could possibly want. We used vendors they recommended and put o...
n a perfect wedding and reception. They were easy to work with, very responsive and really know their business! It was a perfect day at the perfect place!

led in the foothills of Loveland, and went to visit. The owners are great people! They are down to earth, and went way out of their way to work with us to find a date.
The day of the wedding, the owners were available for help and questions, but gave us room to enjoy ourselves. The venue itself was beautiful for an outdoor wedding, with rock bluffs nearby. The arena was huge, too! We were able to have all of our guests inside with ample room for people to dance and socialize.
We couldn't have been happier with our day. I highly recommend this venue!
We had a wonderful time at Ellis Ranch. As a child, I grew up visiting Colorado. Once upon a time Ellis was a working ranch. I rode my first horse here. Knowing they only do weddin...
g and events here, I knew we had to check it out for our wedding. It really was a perfect destination. We chose the carriage house vs the arena since our wedding was under 150 guest. The ceremony site was beautiful. We didn't over heat in the dinner area. The deck made a great place to dance and mingle and make s'mores. All of my guests were amazed when I made my entrance,with my parents, on a horse drawn carriage. All in all, it was the perfect day. Thanks Kim and Sean for a memory of a life time.
Love, Love, Love!!
My husband and I got married at Ellis Ranch this fall. Throughout the entire planning process, Shawn and Kim Ellis were very prompt in their communication and very accommodating. T...
he facility was very clean and well prepared for our arrival on our wedding day. Our guests had wonderful things to say about the venue and even reported it was one of the best venues they have been to. The highlights were the fall colors and perfect weather for our outdoor ceremony, the big dance floor, and the overall large size of the venue lending a spacious and rustic atmosphere. We would highly recommend this venue to any bride/groom.
So easy to work with and very affordable! We got married at the carriage house and it as everything we ever wanted! We could bring in our own catering; which was a simple and easy ...
process. They had the linens that was wanted and the perfect decorations for our "mountainy" wildflower wedding. We had been told by MANY people how beautiful our venue was, it saved us money on decorations because the place is beautiful by itself! It did rain after the ceremony; which turned out to be the best part, they had a plan B that would have worked out great but all our guests decided to stay out on the patio and dance in the rain! Of course here in Colorado, it lasted about 10 minutes and then the weather was perfect!
Absolutely phenomenal! Venue has a great view and is beautiful and the owners are great to work with!
We were so pleased with our experience at Ellis Ranch. Shaun and Kim are very kind, professional and went above and beyond to help us make our wedding beautiful. Would highly recom...
mend this venue to everyone!
Ellis Ranch is a beautiful location for a wedding. We had the Carriage House, 85 guests, and it was perfect!
The view behind the gazebo where the ceremony was, is simple gorgeous. ...
There is a huge shade tree over the deck where the reception was hosted and it kept the guests cool, which was needed for an end of June wedding.
Only bummer about the place is that music has to end at 10am, and the place needs to be cleared by 11pm. And, they really should invest in a cord-free microphone.
But, these are minor details and we wouldn't change a thing. Our wedding day was beautiful.
Attended a wedding here. I cannot give anything but my experience of the day and I have to say I was underwhelmed. We had a lovely view of a grassy slope but no mountains. The rece...
ption area was so echoey we could not hear any of the speeches. The bartender insulted several guests and drinks were over priced. The cake, the garter toss and the wedding party tables were all out of sight. It was the most awkward and disappointing wedding I have attended in Colorado, as yet. Guests left hours before it was supposed to end. I would think long and hard about guest needs before booking here. Sorry! At least the bride was beautiful.

know the little details that you might forget. Awesome outside seating area (we had around 200 but they accommodate about double that) and a great indoor place next door for the reception. Great scenery for pictures. Had a great experience with them and would highly recommend it
Beautiful venue. Although most enjoy the ranch/cowboy feel here, as a more traditional elegant bride I enjoyed the natural beauty and the structural design of the place. The leaves...
were amazing and the staff really does come through in so many ways. Of course, you have to be ok with a bit of a dirty dress by the end of the night but that didn't matter much to me. Ellis ranch offers a variety of costs depending on day, season and service - for our large wedding it was by far the most affordable. The owners are such friendly and reliable people and the option to bring your own caterer is huge in terms of saving options. Overall its a lovely venue!
excellent venue! easy to work with! any questions I had, I would email and get a response within hours. Wonderful professional people and gorgeous venue

The Ellis Ranch was very helpful the entire planning process. We would have appreciated a little bit more help the day of the wedding, but overall a great venue!

Also, the pictures from the ranch have turned out perfectly because of how gorgeous everything is there. Thank you Ellis for making our special day so memorable!!
We had a wonderful wedding at Ellis Ranch. The price was reasonable and included an excellant DJ. They let you bring your our own caterer and liquor which helps cut down on cost.
