Greenbriar Inn

are so glad we did. From the very beginning Kathi Jo was very attentive, reassuring us that they had a perfect space for us to have a private dinner with our small group. The communication from day one was always great. The day our of celebration dinner was absolutely perfect. The property itself is very beautiful and well maintained, and then the private room where we all were was warm and quaint. They had us gathered around a large square table which made for a perfect family dinner vibe which was exactly what we were going for. Joe as our personal waiter was the best experience. He quickly picked up on our family's sense of humor and had us laughing all night. We had our wedding cake made on premises, and that, along with all of the food (and wine) was absolutely delicious...I cant say enough. Even though we were a small group, we felt just as important as a wedding of 200.

was easy to communicate with and responsive. The week leading up to our wedding was rainy, but Kathi Jo had multiple ceremony options in case things didn't clear up -- though ultimately the sun came out and we were able to have our ceremony outdoors where we had originally planned! The food was excellent, and the chef even made our favorite dessert that was not on the menu. So many of our family and friends complimented us on the venue, they loved that it was a restaurant and they loved the food! Kathi Jo has a great team who were so friendly and worked so hard the day of. We couldn't be happier with our choice of venue and can't wait to go back and visit for a meal.

nd helped us in making the most affordable and perfect choices for our group. The most wonderful comment made was from the Bride's father... "This is over the top". The Bride's mom and dad worked so hard on the wedding and we really wanted to honor them all with a beautiful, memorable, wonderful rehearsal dinner. Mission accomplished with the beautiful Greenbriar Inn!

day flow with ease. The atmosphere was exactly what we envisioned . The food was the best that we have ever eaten at a wedding!!! And I am a foodie!! We have very fond memories of the wedding and could not have been happier.

ing food (much of it harvested from their own gardens), specialty drinks, beautiful grounds for an outdoor ceremony, two shaded patios for cocktail hour and a delightful antique-looking indoor reception hall with room for both dancing and conversations in dark corners. Our dietary needs were no hassle at all for their kitchen. They cover your cake as well and ours was so delectable. We still get compliments on our food and drink that day. The sun room accommodated our DJ and photo booth and still had room for dancing. They also have a wedding coordinator to help with planning details prior to and all through the day of your wedding. Lastly, the staff at the Greenbriar has clearly been working together some time and was so well coordinated on the day of our wedding. They made it so easy to point, make decisions and see everything on our day come together beautifully!

unch! After the wedding all of our guests raved about how wonderful the Green Briar Inn was and that the food was fabulous. We would highly recommend the Green Briar Inn, if you are looking for a very special place to have your wedding.

Greenbriar Inn!

elope in the mountains and my groom was from the south and wanted a wedding...... so we decided to meet halfway and do a small ceremony and reception with our immediate family and closest friends. We spent our two layovers (got super delayed and rerouted on the way home) looking for venues, and my now hubby found The Greenbriar. We both wanted a Mountain View, an uncommecialized backdrop, and a place with cozy character to have our intimate ceremony at. Since both our families are from out of town, this place seemed like the perfect fit! How lucky are we Kathi Jo responded so quickly and we were touring it a few days later!! She was so amazing, super helpful and not pushy, and really listened to what we wanted and helped us picture realistically what our dream wedding would look like! That day touring the icicle-covered winter wonderland (a storm had just blown through) won us over, but I couldn’t even have imagined how gorgeous it would look on our wedding day!!! Seriously, so beautiful. Their groundskeeper was amazing and the south lawn where we had our cocktail hour looked like a secret garden. Our guests absolutely loved the breathtaking view for our ceremony on the cabin lawn, and the sun hid partially behind the clouds making the mountains look simply amazing. I honestly couldn’t have pictured a better backdrop walking down the aisle to marry the love of my life! Kathy jo made the entire process so easy, and kept in touch with my in the months of planning answering all my crazy questions and making sure everything was just exactly how I wanted it! The food was to DIE for, seriously. SO. GOOD. And they accommodated us last minute by moving some tables because I decided to do our first dance when we were announced into the reception. The staff was amazing. The waiters were so on top of everything! Thank you Kathi Jo and the staff at The Greenbriar Inn, you made our wedding day simply the most perfect truly amazing day- and I can’t think of anything I would change about it. How great is that? I can’t wait to visit on our anniversary next year!!

ic. The food for the reception was absolutely delicious, especially the pies we chose for dessert (instead of cake). So many of our guests raved about the venue and ask how we had found it. It is truly a gem. Most importantly, though, the staff went above and beyond. Kathi Jo was easy to work with before the wedding during the planning process, and especially the day of the wedding, making sure everything went flawlessly. The staff the day of were so thoughtful, attentive of the details, and made us feel so very special on our happiest day. We cannot thank them enough for helping make our wedding day perfect!

nd drinks delicious. It all went seamlessly, and everyone had a great time. So glad my daughter-in-law choose the Greenbriar Inn. We'll be back for dinner or brunch whenever we're in Boulder.

gers & sales staff guided us through the event planning process and made our job super easy. Waitstaff was ever-attentive and went out their way to take the burden of ensuring guests had a great evening off of us. - The venue. It couldn't have been better. We rented out the sunroom and garden-patio area, which had plenty of space for guests, was warm and inviting, and highlighted the Greenbriar's old-world charm and its beautiful setting against the foothills. - The food. With one exception (below), the food was excellent. The Greenbriar prides itself in the talents of its chefs, and it shows. Wonderful blends of flavor, texture, and presentation. THE ONLY LESS-GOOD: - The NY strip steak. A small few of our steaks -- notably ours, which was good -- were full of gristle and were difficult to cut. Flavor was great once you got there, though...

re so welcoming and sweet, they made us feel like we were the only guests in-house! Food was spectacular, their Sunday Brunch has a great variety and wonderful presentation! I fell in love with the property, the service was top-notch, and I can't say enough good things about Kathi Jo. Already looking forward to going back and celebrating my anniversary!

photos there (first-look/pre-ceremony, wedding party, family, and some “golden hour” photos) and they look like we traipsed around to a variety of stunning locations, because the grounds offer such diversity of scenery—wild meadows, manicured lawns, ponds, and a variety of trees (pines as well as leafy trees). Second, the restaurant itself is so quaint, cozy, and romantic—not to mention the food is incredible, the wine list is impressive, and the well liquor is very solid (shout out to the tequila shots I took!). Also, I have to mention how amazing our cake was, because it was actually one of the best cakes I’ve ever had—whoever said wedding cakes are always dry and tasteless has not had a cake from the Greenbriar. Getting back to the venue itself, I just loved how unique the Greenbriar is, as a lot of wedding venues look the same to me. Despite having 150 guests, I felt like I was having an intimate dinner with our closest friends, instead of presiding over a big banquet hall (that being said, if you want a big banquet hall, this probably isn’t the place for you). Third, and perhaps most importantly, the staff of the Greenbriar are SO helpful and professional. Kathi Jo is a wonderful coordinator, and the entire staff is an absolute pleasure to work with. They can take care of day-of coordination, food, drinks, cake, linens/serveware, sound/mics for the ceremony, and chairs for the ceremony. Kathi Jo made everything so easy for us, which was particularly important as I was planning our wedding from another state (although I’m originally from Colorado and familiar with the area). Day of, Kathi Jo ensured that everything went off without a hitch. They are so thoughtful and they really think of every detail, including those you might never have thought of yourself so you can just enjoy your day (for example, they took my bouquet from me after the ceremony and put it in water so it would look perky for additional photos later). Fourth, particularly considering the array of services they provide, the Greenbriar was definitely less expensive than other venues we looked at. I will admit we exceeded the final estimate they gave us, but my husband and I also expected that would happen so it wasn’t an unpleasant surprise. I guess just know your wedding guests, if you have an open bar and you know your family and friends really like to party like ours, either set a cut-off point or you might expect to go over the estimate.

in Colorado from our home in Portland, OR, so we only saw photos when choosing locations. They worked with us on planning our meals, hor d'oeuvres, and even our wedding cake. The food was AMAZING (many of our guests couldn't stop gushing over the food), pricing was great, and the venue (Sun room and South Lawn) was BEAUTIFUL. We handed off our decorations the day before and I don't think I could have set them up any better. Worth every penny we spent and more. The waiting staff was incredible as well. They were on top of their game the entire night and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I honestly wish I would have tipped them more at the end of the night, they more than deserved it. 10/10 I would recommend this place if you are looking for a wedding reception venue. Our day was perfect and Greenbriar Inn was one of the reasons why!

for any event.

n of the day. The food was as delicious as the presentation!

nt of the fireplace in the bar area. Afterward, we had dinner in the private room, with champagne and small two-tiered cake they made for us. Kathi Jo and the rest of the staff made the whole experience so fun, easy, and stress-free for us. We found our photographer and officiant as recommendations from the Greenbriar, too, and they both were wonderful as well. We are so happy with how our wedding went, and we highly recommend the Greenbriar for other couples planning their weddings. We will be back to visit many times in the future!

anything we needed. When Kathi Jo was unavailable she made sure we knew who else would be able to answer any questions and it was as if we had been working with the other staff members all along. The day of service was perfect and the staff made sure we were in the know about billing and timing of everything. They were able to accommodate our schedule with ease. We can’t wait to return to The Greenbriar for brunch or dinner!

s amazing to know that Kathi Jo, Phil, and the rest of the staff at The Greenbriar Inn had everything taken care of. I was able to relax and enjoy my special day. My hair and makeup ladies even said that I was the most relaxed bride they had ever worked with. This was all because Kathi Jo took care of every question or request I had for her without hesitation. When we asked for donuts for our guests before the ceremony and a custom cinnamon bun flavored wedding cake, she didn't even bat an eye before saying they could do that. I would get married every weekend at The Greenbriar Inn if I could and we will certainly be return guests for many a brunch to come. If you are considering The Greenbriar Inn for your wedding, my best advice would be to book it now!

At the reception, Valerie ensured that we didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to just enjoy ourselves. She was so kind and great to work with . All of the wait staff were great!! The food was amazing, the wine was delicious, and the atmosphere was enchanting and romantic! Thank you to everyone at Greenbriar Inn for helping us celebrate our new beginning!

the venue was nothing but lovely and detail juggler extroidaire. She was a great communicator in experience based knowledge of the venue and wedding planner details, while supporting our unique twist to our own ideas. The sit down dinner ( in upstairs room) was incredible. The room was gorgeous and the table settings glorious and warm and us. The food was varied and incredible , as always , at the green briar inn for every event or intimate dinner. We are so happy with the memories the GBI has given us an our guest. All comments were sheer " delightful and magical" as one guest said. So true. Many thanks for the entire staff's incredible service and warmth and superior service. The cost for such an incredible event with so many moving parts was very reasonable for such finery. With much appreciation. Laura and Tom

re able to pick exactly what we wanted, including some things not even on the menu! It is nestled at the base of the foothills, giving it a mountain elegant feel without being hard to get to. The heated dance floor is unmatched with glass on three sides, giving the wedding an outdoor feel without the risk of weather. On top of that the staff was spectacular! Kathy Jo was thorough, flexible, and allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

They moved the ceremony inside and it was still amazing. Not a single thing went wrong, which i was told to expect by other married couples I know. It was perfect and beautiful. The food was to die for, and the staff was perfect. We could not have asked for a more accommodating venue. They went out of their way to do everything my wife and I wanted or asked. I absolutely recommend that this venue be considered when having a wedding. Its classic and elegant and run well as far as their events go. Thank you Greenbriar for providing such a special day that we will never forget. Chris and Katie

scussed, but no pressure. Probably less in cost than other elegant settings. We are both pleased with our choice, and our guests were obviously quite happy.

and makes the process as painless as possible. I never worried about things getting done as I knew we were in good hands. On top off the amazing views and wonderful staff...their food is absolutely delicious! Our guests were raving about their meals. My husband and I will always be back for brunch and dinner!

r guests were missing from our rented space and at the bar on the other side of the restaurant to order drinks as a result so our first dance and most of the reception was pretty thin. My amazing bridesmaids made several trips to the bar to bring us drinks. I had to personally flag down servers from other parts of the restaurant. The contract is arbitrary since they are able to change prices at any given time including 6 days before our event after what I thought was the final contract. Yes, they stipulate that they can change prices at any time in the contract but would have rather seen the higher prices from the beginning then have it adjusted down rather than the other way around. We complained to the owner and we were offered a gift certificate for 4 which we accepted. It's obvious they take pride in their business and have reached out to me again following my feedback which I appreciate. Of course it was still one of the best days of my life but the service issues were unfortunate since it did affect us and our guests from really being able to enjoy the reception.

r dessert/drinks in the connected garden/patio area (which is just off of the sunroom). Everything flowed so well, and the staff at the Greenbriar could not have been more accommodating! I would highly recommend it to any couple that is looking for a special venue for either their rehearsal dinner or even a smaller reception at a very reasonable price!!

we had difficulties or questions. We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony, but the weather didn't cooperate - fortunately the Greenbriar team moved everything inside and it all went off very smoothly. The food was beyond phenomenal, the ambiance was perfect, and we did not want for anything.

happy wedding we had. I can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else. The attention to detail was amazing!

ding cake 'on site' in advance were met with smiles. Professionalism, while maintaining a personal touch throughout, was the order of the day. Bouquets were brought out for photos then back into vases until needed, food served without a hitch, and the most delicious food beautifully cooked and presented. The wedding ceremony upstairs, with a solo cellist, and dinner for 34 downstairs in the sun room made for an ideal venue. Beautiful spaces outdoors for photos as well as indoors. We could not have wanted anything more.

ful venue for both your ceremony and reception in one is such luck! Every question was answered without hesitation which gave me the confidence to completely relax on the day of. For how stressful wedding planning can be, the team at the Greenbriar was incredibly helpful and always went the extra mile. They I highly recommend The Greenbriar to any couple looking to get married any time of year! I could never thank them enough!

as absolutely amazing! The staff even made sure to put together a plate of appetizers for us while we were taking pictures so we didn't have to miss out. Our guests were raving about Greenbriar Inn all weekend. Thank you so much! We will be recommending them to anyone looking for an affordable, top-notch venue in Colorado.

ight time in bright oranges, reds and yellows. All of our guests could not stop complementing us on how we chose such a beautiful venue . 90% of our guests were from out of town so we were pleased to give them the rocky mountain experience without having to drive too deep into the mountains. More importantly, the food and service is what we were utterly pleased with. As a bride, I felt I didn't have to worry about any minor details which is big deal as you all are planning your wedding. Kathi Jo and Valerie are top notch and made the whole day run smoothly. I cannot thank the Greenbriar and their staff enough for giving my husband and I the most perfect and effortless day. We are still waiting on our photographers for photos otherwise I cannot wait to share how pleased we are!! Cheers!

for our ceremony. The inside dining area was warm, cozy and romantic. The whole experience exceeded our expectations!

thing was just how we imagined. The Greenbriar has several options for outside ceremony's and the inside of the Inn is so beautifully decorated and maintained. We had our ceremony out on one of their lawns with the mountains as the backdrop, talk about getting married in real Colorado. The food and drinks this place offers is top notch! I am gluten free and had to have special accommodations for my food and the Greenbriar went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. We had our reception upstairs and I could not have wished it to have been better. The way everything flowed from dinner, to dances and speeches was flawless. They know what they are doing and will make sure your day goes perfectly!!! When I went to tour the Greenbriar we took a walk around the ground and before we even got to see the inside of the Inn we were sold. Our guests kept commenting on how great the food was, the landscaping was gorgeous, the staff was so kind and helpful. I could go on for days with how much I loved having our special day at the Greenbriar and would advice everyone to check it out for any wedding. I love the fact that my husband and I can now go back every year on our anniversary and get some delicious food at this place that is now so special on our hearts.

the location and the food, as well as the staff. We had our ceremony on the Cabin Lawn, followed by Cocktails on the South Lawn, dinner in the Large Dining Room, and dancing and photo booth in the Sun Room. Our wedding had 100 guests which was a perfect fit, although they can accommodate more. I love the wood in the dining room, the beautiful trees all over the property, and the very intimate feel of the place. Kathi Jo is the onsite event coordinator and she did a fantastic job of helping us plan our wedding and answered our many emails about details large and small. The night of our wedding Kathi Jo was on hand to make sure the vendors knew where to set up, and kept everything rolling. Assisting her was Valerie. Valerie is delightful!!! So nice and handled everything with a smile. She regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was as we wanted it. At one point during dinner my sister had to step outside to handle an important phone call and one of the waiters noticed she was outside. He went out to check on her and brought her more champagne until she was able to rejoin the rest of us inside. So classy. I wanted a grooms cake for my husband and hired an outside baker to make it (a huge deer head cake, check out A Slice of Creation in Broomfield). Immediately following dinner the wait staff brought it out and it was like a little parade. Everyone made it so much fun - Amazing staff! I wasn't sure how they would feel serving a grooms cake that was made by an outside baker but they were wonderful. The wedding cake was made by their onsite baker and was delicious (Almond Jaconde with wild berries). They have their own garden so the salads, spices, and vegetables are fresh and constantly harvested. We met the owner, Phil, and he also checked in with us to make sure we were happy - we were!! I could go on and on.. if you are looking for a huge venue that is pretty but with no stand out details, they are everywhere. If you want a beautiful property, amazing food, and a memorable night for your guests you've found it at The Greenbriar Inn. Congratulations all you newly engaged couples!

as perfect in every way! The food, drinks, staff were top notch and the wedding went off without a hitch. The Greenbriar has a beautiful setting and is located very close to Longmont and Boulder. We have since been back for dinner and brunch and again Kathi Jo and her staff were very welcoming to us. If you are looking for a great place for your wedding or parties The Greenbriar is your place. It definitely was a great day spent with friends and family!

the wedding/reception in one place, which was great for our guests. Our date was early July and the weather cooperated wonderfully. I have to mention/acknowledge our Greenbriar coordinator, Kathi Jo, she was AMAZING! She walked me through the process every step of way. I was so confident in her and the venue that I had no worries the day of - and everything went perfectly thanks to the professionalism of Kathi Jo and the entire team at The Greenbriar. I would HIGHLY recommend The Greenbriar to any couple considering a beautiful outdoor Boulder/Colorado venue.

or an outdoor wedding. Its amazing how inexpensive the venue is as well. Because you will use their restaurant and buy there food, you get this venue at next to nothing. And you don't need to organize vendors/venue -its one stop shopping. I definitely recommend this venue.

the day was perfect. Thank you so much to Phil, Kathi Jo, and the whole team at the Greenbriar Inn for making our wedding day magical.

small parties!

nniversary dinners here!

ough all the little details. With the Greenbriar, you can have them handle all the food, the cake, the ceremony set up and take down, the drinks, the linens.. etc. It really made it easy on us. Also, they organize a wine, apps, and cake tasting which is a ton of fun and allows you to experience the options. At the rehearsal, Kathi Jo really ran the show and knew how to hold a rehearsal, which helped us since our friend was our officiant. We had the ceremony outdoors which was very nice, but they also always have a plan B in case the weather goes bad which was very comforting. We had the cocktail hour outdoors also and loved it – we wished we could have had even longer out there (but we would have been there all night if we did)! We had our reception upstairs, the fire place and pictures of the mountains and places we have hiked together really made it perfect for us. Similar to other reviews, while we love the Colorado outdoors and hiking, our family is older and many of our friends and family have young kids so not all of our guests would have been that comfortable or able to attend a remote mountain location – the Greenbriar offered the perfect blend of both the outdoors, and accessibility for folks of all ages and proximity to area hotels. The service and the food were excellent. They were able to get both champagne and sparkling cider for the bridal “get ready room” so my junior bridesmaids could join in a toast. Everyone raved about the food – particularly the lamb which is locally sourced. Our guests had diets ranging from vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, oat and dairy free – you name it, and they were able to accommodate everyone. They even put together two pieces of vegan carrot cake for the vegans in our bridal party. The cake was beautiful – I let them decide how to do it (I just selected the flavors and asked the florist to bring some extra flowers for it), and it came out perfect – better than I could have asked for. I went with the white cake with berries option, yum. We also had many kids from ages 4 months all the through 10, and it worked out great. We were a bit worried about it being too formal, but between the outdoor portions of the evening and the dancing after dinner, the kids all had a great time. Things to consider… They do have two weddings a day often. It ended up working out just fine, and although I did wish they shut down the other group’s music during our ceremony, the rest of the evening it felt like we had the place to ourselves (I personally felt that the background music was fine and actually helped to cover up the traffic noises, and my husband said he didn’t even notice it, but we did have a couple comments from guests). Also, there is only one bridal “get ready room” so it’s first come first serve on that. The other party on our day had their ceremony elsewhere, so we didn’t have an issue reserving it. It’s also a bit dark in that room, so you may want to consider bringing an extra light – there are plenty of plugs. Finally, one thing that made us really like the venue is that it is an operating restaurant and bar, so you can come back for anniversaries or just to stop by and grab a drink, so that part is pretty cool.

ny on the lawn (looked like we were going to make it, so we didn't move things indoors ... oh well!) and it was actually not a problem at all. Kathi Jo helped us rearrange the family portraits to inside and move the cocktail hour indoors as well. Virtually no downtime at all despite the inclement weather! And the food was VERY good! We couldn't make the tasting date, but it didn't matter because everything was incredible! Figuring out all the food items and locations, and other options was probably the only slightly difficult part – we ended up spending a lot of time on the phone and via email going back and forth about various options. It was really nice that they were super flexible about everything, but it would have been great to have all of that streamlined a bit for out-of state folks like us.

ce the price was really reasonable. I highly recommend them!

Service was top-notch as well. The wait staff were always there to help, and Kathy Jo made the entire event seem easy. We were truly able to enjoy the moment and not worry about the details because we knew they would be taken care of beyond our expectations.

r your wedding. My top was the food, so I picked The Greenbriar based off their menu. All my guests really enjoyed our reception and look forward to dining at The Greenbriar in the future. There were so many dishes and lots of options to choose from when building our menu. We used their pastry chef for our cake and it was wonderful. It was just so nice to use a full service reception venue that took care of preparing the site that day. Working with the staff for the planning process was also very easy.

advice and service was. The food was delicious. The staff worked to accommodate our particular wishes, regarding seating arrangements, dietary options, flowers, and linens and to make hosting an event as someone from another part of the country easy and stress free. Working with the Greenbriar was a pleasure in every respect.

hing was taken care of! Food was amazing!

d our reception in a ballroom - blah!) The staff at The Greenbriar was also wonderful. They helped us keep everything organized and running smoothly. Kath Jo even helped me figure out how to put on my darn veil when I realized that I never thought to ask that question prior to 10 minutes before the wedding! We were able to have a unique, fun and beautiful wedding. The price was reasonable for all that we were able to do. And The Greenbriar was excellent at laying out cost before hand helping us to understand what things we could do to help stay in budget. Overall wonderful experience. My husband and I were able to relax and have a good time. Highly Recommended!

she listened to and understood exactly what we wanted which really set us at ease throughout the day. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience!

detail. It was important to us that we stayed within budget and they helped us customize our ceremony and reception to stay within what we were able to spend. Our guests continue to compliment us on how great our day was- they were impressed with how personable and intuitive the staff was. We highly recommend the Greenbriar!

l and made sure everything went smoothly. The cocktail hour, was set up beautifully, the food, cake, and wine were DELICIOUS, and dinner service was fantastic. Months later our guests are still talking about how perfect the day was and about how much they loved The Greenbriar. You cannot find a better place to host your event. The Greenbriar

to get married on the summit - or even the side - of a mountain here in Colorado. The hike wouldn't have been fair to some of our guests, though. Also, the catering and other services for a fully outdoor wedding turned out to be much more complicated and expensive than I had expected. When I visited the full-service Greenbriar Inn, nestled against the beautiful foothills of Boulder, I knew that I'd found a place that would meet everyone’s needs beautifully. I tend to shy away from most formalities, but I enjoy classy surroundings - and excellent food - at the same time. There is an understated elegance to the Greenbriar, a lack of pretension combined with superior service, which is very appealing. I've been told that it's highly hectic and stressful for a lot of brides on their wedding day, and had been warned that I may not even get to enjoy the food and all the other details that I had spent so much painstaking time and effort selecting. What a terrible thought! However, thanks to the combined efforts of our outstanding event planner, the kitchen and service staff, the groundskeeper, and the owners themselves, I can even say that I had a wonderful time at my own wedding. (I must mention that we were also blessed with perfect weather, although I was confident that any unforeseen situations would be taken in stride by the venue.) The vendors were perfectly coordinated, all the minutiae of the day were paid attention to with care and precision, and everything flowed seamlessly from one event to the next. We had added some special touches to our ceremony, including a release of live Monarch butterflies. My groom remarked that he had simply handed the package to the event planner, and then the butterflies were simply ready and waiting when it was time to release them. We were also grateful to have the flexibility to customize our event to our personal preferences in various ways. Here is another example of the service we received: After my groom and I were “introduced” at the reception, the head server was thoughtful enough to bring each of us plates with a selection of delicious hors de'oeuvres. We would have missed them otherwise, since we were having our photos taken while everyone else was having cocktails. It was the attention to little details like this that made our experience so special. Our wedding was a thorough success with our family and friends, whose ages ranged from 18 to 80. The words I have heard most often in response to our wedding are “beautiful” and “delicious”. Everything I could have hoped for - and my husband has stated that he is glad to have a special place that we can both look forward to visiting again.

our reception. We also appreciated the willingness of the staff to allow us the use of the lawn(s) to spread out our lawn games during cocktail hour. On the day of the wedding, I was impressed with the lack of overlap with the co-occurring wedding and was unable to hear any noise upstairs from the reception downstairs. Additionally, the food, specifically the New York Strip and dessert bar, were delicious. Our point of contact the day of did an amazing job keeping our wedding day running smoothly and taking care of everyone. His recommendations were spot-on and his calm demeanor was much appreciated! We did take note of a few things. Unfortunately, amidst signing a contract and placing a deposit, we received word that our ceremony time had been double booked and we would be required to start our ceremony at a later time if we wanted to keep the date. We were very disappointed that this decreased the amount of time with our guests. Additionally, an on-site coordinator is provided that assists in gathering information, answering questions, and organizing prior to the event. While our on-site coordinator was helpful, we did feel that some of our questions or decisions were met with judgment and communication was occasionally delayed. At our final planning meeting we were surprised by an increased charge with regard to the upgraded ceremony chairs. When we inquired about the added expense, we were told that the event contract was subject to change and there were no other options as a limited number of the chairs remained.

tch! The ceremony took place on the most beautiful lawn with the mountains as our backdrop. Our cocktail hour was unbelievable! And the dinner was phenomenal. Not only was our food top notch, but the service was hard to beat. Anything we needed was done before we even had to ask. I didn't worry about a single thing! My one regret is that we can't get married every weekend. Looking forward to a lifetime of celebrating anniversaries with the best wedding venue in Boulder!

nows how to make a wedding go smoothly. On the day of, I was far more relaxed than I ever thought possible, primarily because I knew that everyone at the Greenbriar would take great care of us. They really made our day!

o have great food and a fun, intimate atmosphere and our guests raved about how much they enjoyed everything. Phil and Emma clearly put their heart and soul into their business. If you book your wedding reception at the Greenbriar you won't be disappointed.

ings that are out of your control on the day of an event. Kathi Jo, and everyone we worked with at the Greenbriar, were organized, detailed and extremely helpful during the many months of planning leading up to our big day. When that day did arrive, the Greenbriar staff was calm and collected. I did not have a single worry. Our 90 guests have still not stopped talking about the beautiful venue and delicious food. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience.

we have ever been to. Tons of offerings. That day they offered Belgian waffles with various toppings, personal omelettes, lox and bagels with all the trimmings, muscles, oysters on the half shell, quiche, chef sliced ham, beef, and turkey, various casseroles and vegetables, potatoes, rolls, fresh fruits, cheeses, and a wildly beautiful assortment of mini desserts. Their service was excellent, their presentation perfect, and the dining room was beautiful. Kathy Jo has a steel trap mind for details, and manages the staff very well. In fact, all of the employees at Greenbriar exude a pride in their work. And, it shows in the product they produce.

o nice and helpful and gave us advice on some things we had not thought of. They set the tables up just how we wanted them to be with our table decorations how we wanted. It was so nice to walk into the Greenbriar Inn and see that they set everything up the way we wanted it to look. No worries. Totally trusted them. The Greenbriar Inn knows how to do a wedding reception that is wonderful.

ays get the information form you they need to make the event go off without a hitch. Our ceremony was in the morning, and it was sunny, but there were patches of shade on the south lawn. There were a number of comments about traffic noise, and that was honestly my only concern, but with the PA system, we didn't notice ANYTHING during the actual ceremony. We had a cocktail hour with passed appetizers and drinks which was wonderful for our guests and then a lovely plated lunch which was affordable and delicious. They work so well with all the dietary restrictions of our guests. Everything went off without a hitch and seemed so smooth we were able to concentrate on the important things, GETTING MARRIED. Overall, with our budget and asks for a wedding of 70, we felt like this was the best choice we could have possibly made! Thank you for a wonderful day, we will remember it ALWAYS.

We worked with Kathi Jo in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Phil, the owner, also made himself available to us and was a great help on the actual wedding day. The rest of the staff did an amazing job, and the head waiter for our wedding (I'm kicking myself in the head for forgetting his name) was on top of everything and helped the night run smoothly. Overall I would say that not only did the Greenbriar do an amazing job, they have also secured me and my wife as customers for the forseeable future.

ond, plenty of plant life, and a 5000 sq ft garden where they grow many of the vegetables they serve. The main dining room, where we had our reception, is so beautiful on its own that we didn't have any decorations besides centerpieces, and the sun room was perfect as a dance floor/photo booth area. The food/cup cakes were fantastically delicious and are what really make the GBI a great value, in our opinion, though everything was amazing. The coordinator, Kathi Jo, is friendly and helpful, as are the owners, Phil and Emma. Valerie was with us throughout the event to make sure things ran smoothly/on time, and to ensure we ate. According to family, the other servers and bartenders were also great. Sadly for us, our ceremony was rained out, but we were shocked at how quickly staff was able to convert main dining area to and from the ceremony area. We got numerous compliments on the food, facilities, and staff at our event, and continue to receive them a week later. There are only two very small downsides: 1) The staff can be a little slow to respond to emails, but always got back to us within a week. If I felt the matter was more urgent, I just called and typically got an answer. 2) Folks dining in the bar area must walk through receptions in the main dining room to get to the restrooms (would not be an issue for an upstairs reception, but that area was too small for our 100 guests and a dance flood). This was not a big deal to us, but wanted to mention it since it may be upsetting to some couples. Overall we were very impressed and pleased with our wedding at the GBI!

and they were beyond willing to make their venue work for us. In the end we can’t imagine having done it anywhere else. Greenbriar Inn is amazing at making your experience unique and personal and they are detail oriented in a relaxed way. You can tell their staff enjoys the final product and although they are attuned to serving you it is done in a subtle and warm way. The setting is absolutely classic, intimate and romantic with a big Colorado feel. We thank you with all our heart and look forward to recommending you to friends while also returning to celebrate the passages of our lives. ~K & J Neathawk

Kathi Jo) was so easy to work with and communicate with since we planned the wedding from out of town. We loved the rustic/romantic feel of the location with the dark wood interior and the mountain landscape outdoors.We loved that the trees already have twinkle lights wrapped on the branches and there were already so many flowers that we didn't need to add many details. We had about 40 guests who all enjoyed their meals - we ordered 5 appetizers, plated dinner and a 3 course dessert bar along with an open bar and it was very affordable compared to other locations. Overall, we loved how everything turned out and we would definitely recommend this location.

a biblical deluge, but we lucked out with the weather, and the Greenbriar people didn't bat an eyelash. Everything was set up with more than enough time, and we never felt like there was going to be a problem moving the ceremony indoors if it came to that. The guests had nothing but great things to say about the service and the food. The only things that could have been better involved the bridal suite. The lighting was pretty dim, so it was challenging for my wife to get ready. We had to relocate all our stuff from the bridal suite to other locations right before the ceremony (because it was a busy night for the restaurant). Overall this was a beautiful location to get married and we would both definitely do it all over again if we could. The venue looks fantastic in our pictures!
