Granby Ranch

Jennifer and the team at Granby Ranch were so kind to us and made it a day for us to remember. From going out of their way to make a special accommodation for us, to someone bringing over a buffet item we forgot to grab before we even had a moment to notice, the View and hospitality from the GR Wedding team is well worth making it the place to book for your big day!

We could not have asked for a better venue experience! We had an intimate ceremony / post ceremony cocktail hour and dinner at Granby Ranch for a group of 40. What really makes this venue shine is the staff. Jennifer and Amelia were a joy to work with throughout our planning process. They really make you feel cared for, and they didn't skip a beat to make our out of the box ideas a reality. We lucked out with 10/10 weather and peak fall leaves for our late September day. Our guests had the most fun taking the ski lift up to Vista ridge! Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony site was and were eager to take all the pictures! As far as guest experience goes, Granby Ranch delivers. A con to this venue I can see is that there is no great weather back up plan. We were told that the plan would be to shift the timeline and have a mini cocktail hour at the base while we waited it out, or we would shuttle up the wedding party only for a quick ceremony if we had a small window. This was not a huge concern for us given our small group and flexible timeline, but worth noting. Everything on our menu was delicious, and I feel like we got an amazing value for our food and beverage package. There are ample vacation rental options walkable from Base Camp if you want to have all your guests stay close by. We ended up booking a condo as our "getting ready" suite and it could not have been more convenient. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience. Vista ridge is an absolute dream location to say "I do". Our pictures speak for themselves. Jennifer and her whole team truly felt like family. You can tell they take a lot of pride in the business and at no point did we feel like we were being "sold" on anything. We look forward to returning to Granby Ranch in the years to come and feel so lucky to have chosen this backdrop for our perfect day!

We got married 9/17/2023 and had the most amazing wedding weekend at Granby Ranch! We had a jam packed weekend using several of the Granby Ranch facilities- a bride vs. groom golf tournament at Granby Ranch Golf Course, our rehearsal dinner at the 8350 Bistro top floor of Granby Ranch, welcome drinks in the Blue Bird Bistro downstairs at Granby Ranch, our wedding at Vista Ridge at the top of Granby Ranch Mountain, and our reception inside the Slopeside Great Room with 150 people, and the after party back at Blue Bird Bistro! We could not recommend Granby Ranch enough!! It had everything we wanted and more. We were lucky because, other than a little rain at the golf tournament, we had the most beautiful weather. The leaves turned a little more every day, we had mostly green with a little yellow. if you want bright yellow, go for around 9/25. All Granby staff- they are so kind and wonderful. Every person was cool and gracious during the whole weekend. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with! We loved her energy and excitement and really felt supported through the full process. We had a great food tasting with her as we had so much fun and got to try the delicious food. Since we planned over the course of a year plus, I would say it is important to make sure you have everything documented with her. They had changed a few things with the menu and pricing and table cloth colors but she was able to honor all of what they said they would give us because we had it in writing. We worked with TeNeil Hartley, for her full wedding planning services, and she is the perfect addition to execute the wedding because she knows Granby Ranch so well and worked great with Jennifer. To the food, it was INCREDIBLE. We did the buffet style and our guests raved about it. The chef was great to work with as we had some dietary restrictions of our guests and wanted to make it as accessible to all as possible. The apps were great and they made a plate of them for my husband and I since we missed happy hour due to photos. It is interesting how they do the tasting, you sit at the restaurant and try things on the menu. You might not try exactly all of the full menu that your guests will have but you have the trust and confidence in trying multiple items that they will do a good job with the food and they really did! I'm a huge foodie and this was important to me! They re-did the great hall and wow are the renovations stunning! The carpet looks so much better than the previous retro 70s carpet, and they made the columns stone like to match the fireplace. It makes the place look so elegant! These changes were a great update to make the room even more magical. We had 150 people in the space and it worked great. They moved out 2 tables during the dancing and it was perfect. It didn't feel too tight or cramped. The outdoor patio and the downstairs firepit were huge hits as well! Our golf tournament was a blast! We did a scramble and did bride vs. groom. We had 48 people play and 20 wedding marshalls that had games and trivia and pictures around the golf course. The golf pro, David Crosby, was great! We did our own pairings but he made the tournament happy. We did it on a Friday and it was such a blast! We had all levels of golfers. We were told by multiple people after our wedding that it couldn't have been more perfect. They loved the sweeping views of the Vista Ridge, they loved the food, and they really loved the location and how easy everything was in one spot.

We had our wedding here on Sept 2 and had the most amazing/magical/perfect day we could have ever asked for. Jennifer and the staff at Granby Ranch went above and beyond to ensure we as well as our families did not have to lift a finger and could fully enjoy the day. The planning process from the very start was so well done by Jennifer and her team. She was so responsive to all our MANY questions throughout the process and was available for what ever we needed. The tasting was so much fun to get to know her and sit down and chat through the entire wedding day with her. She was so helpful with things far outside venue planning such as helping us choose food in the area for our welcome party, accommodations for our out of town guests and giving us fun ideas of activities around the town of Granby. Our family and friends absolutely raved about the views, chairlift experience, food, and how friendly all the staff was. Bartenders remembered our guests orders and had drinks ready for them when they walked up, the chef accommodated all the very specific dietary restrictions for each guest, and Jennifer made sure everything logistics wise for the day was perfect. Our wedding day was a dream come true and we can’t say enough good things about this venue and the staff!!

Granby Ranch was everything and more that we could have hoped for on our wedding. Not only are the views at Vista Ridge breathtaking, but the entire venue and staff are so kind and helpful. The yurt that the bridal party stayed in before the ceremony is such a great addition as well. The catering staff was extremely attentive and helpful to our guests. The administrative staff we worked with were organized and made sure everything went very smoothly. All other staff at the venue were so kind to all of our guests and made the atmosphere such a great place. Cannot recommend high enough - we loved it!!!
