Where to even begin. The beauty of the venue is obvious from their photos. But I had the BEST experience getting married at the Greenbriar Inn because of their amazing staff. I planned the wedding myself, but the event planners at the Greenbriar (Madeline and Emma!!) made it the process so much less stressful and answered my dozens of random questions I had left and right. They were so lovely to work with and when we had to move our ceremony from outdoors to indoors due to weather, they made it so easy I felt fine about it and was able to just enjoy my wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch because of them, despite having to switch some things up at the last minute The other staff were equally as amazing to work with. The service Valerie (our head server) provided was second to none and we loved her so much we already talk about going back to visit for a meal. Even my family kept raving about Valerie! The food was delicious, everyone loved it, and the desserts made by the pastry chef… they were out of this world. I wish I could repeat my wedding over and over because I truly loved getting married at the Greenbriar so much and low key miss working with their fantastic staff! Would recommend to anyone looking to get married in Boulder.

Thank you, Jordan! What an absolutely fun wedding. We loved hosting your family and friend...
s and we will miss working with you! We very much appreciate your kind words and are so happy you had a wonderful time. Colorado weather can be unpredictable, and as much as we hope mother nature will comply, sometimes that’s not the case, but you had such great energy and held your spirits high, and took on the day exactly as it was meant to be, which made for one amazing wedding! You had one of the best dance parties, and we very much enjoyed seeing Rob hop up on stage 😊 We wish you both nothing but happiness!

We could not have asked for a better venue for our big day. The moment we did our initial visit we knew we found our place! Madeline was immediately enthusiastic and kind, the owner came down and gave us his congratulations, and the ambience was elegant and warm. Madeline walked us through every single step of the way, ensuring our day would go off without a hitch. The wedding day itself completely blew me away. Everything was perfect. And GORGEOUS. Greenbriar has such a charm to it that showed in every way, during both the ceremony and reception. The landscaping is stunning and the venue boasts the coziest of vibes. And the FOOD! Absolutely delicious and so many options to pick from when curating the reception dinner. Greenbriar provided us with the night of our lives and we cannot thank them enough.

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We found Greenbriar to be more affordable and accommodating than other venues in the area. We booked the upstairs room, outside waterfall area, and patio for all of our events. Although we were worried about not having enough space upstairs for our 75 guests, our 4 pice band, The Lunchables (best wedding band in town!), a projector, and the buffet, this space was perfect for the cozy and intimate setting we were hoping for. We had a blast and the staff at Greenbriar made it extra special.
The staff were all very communicative and it was extremely helpful to include a day of coordinator when we booked. She was very responsive and thorough in her emails, addressing all questions and concerns for us via email and phone. She spent over an hour on the phone with us, making sure she had addressed all of our concerns and ensuring a less stressful day.
We had great food and the cake was professionally made in house.
Overall, one of the best venues for a wedding party. The staff were all professional, nice, and supportive in trying to make our day stress-free and extremely memorable. Highly recommend booking this venue for an off the beaten path, beautiful experience.

My husband and I cannot say enough about how fantastic our experience was. We had a small wedding with 50 guests and could not have imagined it taking place anywhere else. The staff at The Greenbriar are absolutely wonderful. The planning was stress-free and even fun, and the day-of could not have gone smoother. I did not consider myself a 'bridey' bride and I immediately felt welcome and appreciated by The Greenbriar, they went above and beyond to create an event that my husband and I adored. By the end of our big day we felt like we were hosted by close friends. We are incredibly grateful to have had our wedding at The Greenbriar.

From the moment we stepped foot on the property a year ago, to the very last minute of our event, we were genuinely impressed! The staff on-site was super helpful, accommodating to all of our guests and I have to give the biggest shoutout to Madeline our event coordinator! The way this woman juggles multiple things when it all looks crazy and chaotic is just incredible. She was responsive during all of our planning, and helped us with all of the changing aspects of the event since we were planning from out of state. Also, the CAKE, omg our guests cannot stop raving about the cake, and the ceremony location at Greenbriar falls. They were in love and so were we! I’m incredibly thankful for the experience and time spent at the Greenbriar Inn and cannot wait to come back and visit on our Wedding Anniversary! If you’re looking to have the coziest, and most intimate celebration, don’t hesitate to make your memories here!

We hope to see you anytime you are back in town 😊

Our daughter had her wedding at the Greenbriar Inn July 2024. The ceremony was held at the pond which is a gorgeous venue with a waterfall and backdrop of the flatirons. Our cocktail hour at the South Lawn was set up beautifully with tables, scrumptious appetizers and fabulous choices of beer, wine and mixed drinks. The tables in the Sunroom were set to perfection where our dinner buffet was held. The buffet itself was delicious from London broil, chicken piccata, trout and gnocchi as well as salad greens and fresh vegetables. The chef prepared chocolate strawberries, truffles and cupcakes for dessert which went fast! They make wedding cakes too! We rented the on site cabin which I would recommend as a relaxing place to get ready for the big event. It had every amenity you could imagine! Madeline, the Greenbriar Inn wedding planner was composed and helpful as so many details for wedding planning can be hectic. She knows what she is doing so thank you for that! Highly recommend the Greenbriar Inn for a wedding or any event that you may have in the near future!

The grounds of this venue are absolutely beautiful!!! The service we received hit every expectation from the coordinator to the service on the wedding day. My only complaint would be the food, there was a lack of flavor and some dishes came out cold/room temp. Unfortunately our wedding cake looked beautiful but tasted like a stick of butter. Price point for this venue was fair! I would recommend the venue but not the food.

The Greenbriar Inn and all of its wonerderful staff helped make our wedding a dream come true. I would recommend this place a million times over to any couple looking for a cozy venue with incredible food and amazing people. I don’t have anything but positive things to say about this place. The grounds are enchanting, the cabin where we got ready and stayed after the wedding was so warm and welcoming, the food was exquisite, the drink’s delicious, and the staff were hands down the best and truly cared about our experience. If I could do it all over again, I would still have my wedding here. It was such a beautiful night to remember!

We had a small civil wedding at The Greenbriar Inn, 40 of our closest family and friends. All I can say is that it couldn't have been more perfect! Luckily it was a sunny day and we had beautiful weather with mountain views. The staff was AMAZING, very helpful and happy, amazing energy for our special day! The food, incredible! All we heard was good comments about it from all our guests.
We're truly happy to have chosen The Greenbriar Inn for our wedding venue, thank you to all the staff and specially to Madeline to help us create our dream wedding day.

The Greenbriar Inn went above and beyond in every way. I recommend them to all of my friends in the Boulder area getting married!
To start, Taylor and Emma are the on-site wedding coordinators and they are wonderful to work with. Taylor answered my many questions promptly and Emma made sure the wedding day went smoothly.
We had our ceremony outside near the waterfall, which is shaded for guests in summer and has such beautiful views. We got a touch of rain after the ceremony. Taylor and Emma made sure that our musicians had umbrellas, and that our guests were dry and well taken care of. A member of their staff even offered to drive my husband and me in a golf cart to the front entrance. 10/10 service!
Our reception was held upstairs with the patio space. The food was amazing, the dance floor was set up seamlessly, and the overall atmosphere was wonderful! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfect the space was.
We stayed in the cottage on site after our wedding. It was so nice to be a quick walk away from where we were staying the night. The next morning we woke up and had yummy brunch outside on the patio!
For the price, The Greenbriar is unbeatable in Boulder. Every single employee is there to support you and make sure it is a fun and unforgettable experience!
I truly cannot recommend them enough!

I can't say enough positive things about the Greenbriar Inn. We had our 130-person winter wedding there (in December) and every detail was fantastic. Taylor and Emma were absolutely fabulous through every step of the planning process. They are a responsive, flexible, and detail-driven team! Valerie was our banquet captain and was phenomenal. We did not hire an additional wedding planner or "day-of" coordinator and I'm glad we didn't because the Greenbriar Inn team had all of the "day-of" support we needed. We were able to simply enjoy our night while GBI worked their magic. We received tons of compliments from our guests raving about how attentive and seamless the service and whole evening was.
We also chose to rent the cottage which was gorgeous! We used the space for getting ready/bridal sweet, then as a quiet area for an infant/babysitter during our reception, and finally for a little (mellow) afterparty and honeymoon sweet! Very much worth the investment for us.
I would absolutely get married at the Greenbriar Inn again-- can't wait to return from anniversary celebrations for years to come!

My wife & I hosted a family reception dinner at the Greenbriar Inn following our elopement in the mountains. We had a great experience with Greenbriar staff, from booking our event to sharing our wedding cake vision, all the way through the event execution. They were extremely accommodating, helpful, and gracious. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we felt respected and valued, which is obviously so important. It was a perfect day and we are so happy the Greenbriar Inn was part of making it so special.

Where do I even begin! First, 1.5 months before our wedding date, our original wedding venue (an Airbnb) canceled our reservation due to the sale of the property. Obviously, in a panic, my husband and I were desperately searching for a new venue to host our intimate 17-person wedding.
When we contacted the Greenbriar Inn, their coordinator, Taylor, was immediately responsive and compassionate about our situation. We went there the next day to see and instantly fell in love with the entire property's vintage, natural, warm, and intimate feel. Taylor is truly heaven-sent, she helped us feel so good about the unexpected change and took us under her wing to help us quickly plan our special day.
The day of was everything and more we could have imagined - from the cozy cottage to get ready in and stay the night, to the flexibility around our vendors and helping with a unique setup, to the incredible food and drink, and the unmatched beauty of the property that gave us the most joyful and stunning photos.
Our day was magic, and we owe so much to the team at the Greenbriar Inn. We adore you all and will never stop sharing you as a recommendation!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, professionalism, and work to help us create the best day of our lives.

We are from out of state and Taylor was amazing with helping me plan everything over the phone. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made everything perfect! The atmosphere was beautiful and much better than I could ever have imagined! The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We had the best time and would recommend them again and again! Thank you so much!

The Greenbriar Inn was a fabulous venue to host our wedding of 125. The pond area was a magical space to hold the ceremony with lots of trees and a view of the foothills down the centerline.
There are numerous vistas for iconic wedding photos.
The south lawn was a quaint outdoor space for the cocktail hour with tables, green space, and beautiful insulating trees.
The main room felt intimate and cozy. They have a very extensive menu of items to choose from and they were extremely accommodating to our requested menu adjustments.
Taylor and Emma did an excellent job keeping us on task with deadlines and made sure that every detail was accounted for on the wedding day.
We had an excellent crew on the night of our wedding, and every staff member was taking good care of us and our guests. The food was exquisite and the cake was gorgeous. Val was our captain and she did an excellent job making sure that the night flowed smoothly and seamlessly.
We also utilized the cottage for getting ready. It was a nicely decorated space to hang out in with good light. They brought us delicious snacks to munch on and coffee to keep our energy up.
We could not have been happier with the venue choice. It was one of the best nights of our lives! Many thanks to the Greenbriar Inn for creating the space for the magic and love to flow through!

Everything went so smoothly on the day of our wedding thanks to their professionalism, and I truly can't think of one thing that I would have changed. To top it off, the food and drink was amazing, and the service staff was so friendly and kind to myself and the groom, as well as all of our guests. I would highly recommend the Greenbriar Inn for a perfect wedding day!

We held our reception at Greenbriar on 9/22/2023 and it was executed flawlessly. Our aim was to have a relaxed yet intimate reception with delicious food and the GBI team delivered. The coordinator, Taylor, was with us every step of the way and made sure the biggest item we had to think about the day of is what we wanted to drink.
Elegant, reasonably priced, attentive, scenic, and just an overall great time are a few things this gem has to offer!

Where to start? We hosted a wedding reception at The Greenbriar in December 2022. We chose the venue for the old Colorado atmosphere, beautiful heavy wood and stained glass interior details, and cozy setting for a winter party. The restaurant is renown for the excellent food too, which was a huge highlight of our event. At many venues, especially in the Boulder area, you have to get a caterer. Having all the food, cake, and alcohol done through The Greenbriar made planning so much easier and more delicious. Our guests raved about the food and we are still dreaming about our desserts and cake (a lovely buche de noel!). Emma and Taylor were superbly organized and patient with all our questions and changes throughout the process. They communicated well and were able to give us pricing estimates that were not only very reasonable (especially for the high quality), but also very precise. Ultimately, I was able to be a guest at my own wedding. We credit The Greenbriar team for making the event so memorable!

My husband and I knew right away when we entered this venue that it was perfect for us; the gorgeous grounds/ waterfall area and the cozy, historical interior really made this venue a cut above the rest for us. "When you know, you KNOW" apparently applies to the groom AND the venue!
Everything from the service with planners to the food to the wedding itself was PERFECT. The Greenbriar team really pulled out all the stops to make sure our day was everything we wanted, despite a rainstorm, and truly made our dreams possible.
We got so many compliments from guests about the venue, food, service, drinks and more-- they couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful our ceremony at the waterfall was.
We truly only have the best to say about our experience at the Greenbriar. To Emma, Phil, Taylor, Valeria, and the team: Tom and I are so thankful for your hard work to make our day so special!

The Greenbriar is a lovely location for a Colorado wedding. The venue gives a wonderful intimate wedding vibe that will greatly impress all your guests. They have some of the best food, most beautiful views for photos and the staff was incredibly attentive to all my needs during the day. We had this crazy late May snow storm the day before our wedding and the Greenbriar did everything in their power to still allow us to have and outdoor wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend having your Rocky Mountain wedding here.

We ended up looking into the Greenbriar Inn just 3 months before our wedding as our previous venue was having issues. From the moment we first called to inquire, they were extremely helpful. Taylor and Emma were both so efficient and helpful to work with as they helped us put together our 70-person wedding in 3 months! We were able to create a delicious buffet menu that was within our budget and our guests all loved the food. They even do wedding cakes- and GOOD wedding cakes! At the rehearsal, Phil helped us organize and make sure things were set to go for the big day. They also let our family in early in the morning the day of the wedding to help set up our decorations. The service was friendly and organized. They were very communicative with us through the evening. We were so impressed and so glad we ended up having our wedding there!

My husband and I hired Greenbriar Inn to host our wedding reception and it was an awesome experience! We were a small group (12 adults + 1 infant, including the bride and groom) and Taylor at GBI really worked with us to create the perfect experience! We booked a third of the upstairs for our private dinner. Dividers in the upstairs dining area created a perfect space - private and a little quieter than the restaurant (without being dead silent). The food and wine were delicious, the service was awesome, and the communication throughout the planning was process was great! Thank you to everyone at GBI for making it a special night!!

All the guests loved the food and the atmosphere. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. Just great! we will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary here.

My husband and I got married in the presence of our immediate families at Rocky Mountain National Park this past weekend and hosted our post-wedding dinner at The Greenbriar Inn in the Little Room! First, when making reservations for this event, both Taylor and Emma made the process an incredibly easy one and worked with me through phone and email correspondence to create our menu and explain different details. They also helped with wine pairings and gave us different recommendations for appetizers, entrees, and dessert. On the ceremony day, they were very attentive, the service was prompt, and our food was delicious! We plan on hosting a large reception sometime within the next year to celebrate with our friends and family and, we had such an amazing time at The Greenbriar Inn, we just plan on coming right back here! Thank you again for everything!

We could absolutely never have asked for a better venue. Literally everything from start to finish was perfect. We originally booked the Cabin Lawn, which is a beautiful expanse of the greenest grass you've ever seen amongst the trees, but ended up having our ceremony in front of the water feature on the property after falling in love with that.
Emma and Phil offered to set up appetizers afterward in an outdoor courtyard area for our guests to gather while my husband and I finished up photographs.
Then, we made our way into the private dining room where we were treated to an amazing selection of food. Most of our guests ordered the Colorado Filet--and everyone who did said it was THE BEST steak they'd ever had. We only had 14 people total, so opted for everyone ordering whatever they wanted off the dessert menu--you cannot go wrong with any of the selections from there.
We went without any decor for the outdoor wedding because the venue itself is so stunning. The scenery is all you would ever need. The Little Room was the perfect size for our dinner, and we loved the original features of this building from the 1800s still preserved in there.
In short, it was the perfect day due in large part to the beautiful and wonderful venue we found in the Greenbriar Inn. We had the opportunity the day before the wedding to visit with Emma and Phil--they are some of the nicest people you would meet. We also worked with Taylor in the months before our big day and she was great and very detail oriented. Lastly, Mike and the rest of the staff working with us that night were awesome.
There are truly not enough stars for this venue!

Overall we had a beautiful wedding at the Greenbriar Inn. The setting speaks for itself. The food and drinks are top notch. Our wedding cake was delicious and beautifully done. Communication leading up to the wedding was good and Kathi Jo responded promptly to our requests more or less. On the wedding day we had various problems with some key elements of the ceremony and reception. As soon as the wedding started we realized the sound system was not working, and no one was outside to assist (as had been promised). Unfortunately we had scheduled a Zoom viewing of the ceremony and no one online could hear. The signal for cell or wifi is spotty which we did not realize until it was too late. The owner Phil suggested that we skip a run through on the day before, and we might have realized some of these issues had we done a run through as planned. Later, during the reception we could not run our slideshow because an HDMI adapter was missing - something very standard these days. It turns out that Phil has that adapter in his office but no one was around to troubleshoot the issue. We found out later that Kathi Jo was assisting with multiple events that day and was unavailable to help us. The GBI worked with us to provide some reimbursement, however we would like to have avoided these issues altogether. We still had a memorable day and very happy wedding guests. A deer even sat behind us 'presiding over' the ceremony. This is a great venue but be sure to iron out any technical issues in advance of your special day.

I feel bad leaving such a poor review because this venue is amazing. The south lawn and the sunroom were beautiful. The food was amazing, as was staff, with one exception. We were so, so happy to have our wedding at GBI except for a massive oversight- the fact that trash pickup happens when the ceremony was scheduled- Friday afternoon. It was humiliating to have to stand in front of my friends and family in the middle of my vows and wait in silence to the noise of a trash truck just a few feet away. This oversight is unforgivable and the fault lies entirely with Kathi Jo.
In addition to her general abrasiveness and poor communication with my family on the day of the wedding, Kathi Jo failed to mention garbage pickup timing even though we had discussed the timing of the ceremony. Given how long she's been at the Greenbriar (several years based on Knot reviews) and how many weddings GBI hosts, there's no way she didn't know what time the trash truck might come by and that it would be incredibly loud and incredibly close to where the ceremony would be. She also lied to my brother about removing the altar table, which I had specifically requested, as well as other bizarre behavior. She complained to staff about us (I guess she believed in secret), though her perpetual grimace was telling even if her comments hadn't been overheard. Everyone else on staff was exceptionally thoughtful and accommodating, so it's especially unfortunate to have had such an unpleasant and incapable individual as part of our wedding day.

d the venue, food and staff so thank you for those kinds words. Your comments about Kathi Jo are so out of character for her, I don't know what to say except to apologize and talk with her about it. She has been with us for 8 years and does a great job so I will try to get to the bottom of whatever happened at your event. Thank you again for the review - we take all of our feedback seriously to continue to excel and improve where it's needed.

The Greenbriar Inn recently hosted my wedding and they did a PHENOMENAL job the on site coordinador was very organized and always was in communication. The staff was very professional and always was checking on us. The onsite coordinator kept us on a great schedule they set up the wedding space perfectly. They have a list of amazing vendors that they work with so it made the planning easier! It was a magical day for all of us and the Greenbriar Inn made it even 10 times more special! I could not think of a better place to have my wedding!

My fiancé and I ended up not booking this venue for our wedding for logistical reasons, however I wanted to leave a review to speak to just how patient, understanding, and compassionate the team was in working with us. Kathi Jo and the rest of the team at the Greenbriar really made the process of working with them stress-free and positive.

The Greenbriar is an amazing venue! The have a beautiful property and was absolutely perfect for our fall Wedding! The service coordinator was extremely professional and did an amazing job from responding to our inquires to seeing that our day was special and perfect. The food and service at our reception were excellent and the cake (Almond Jaconde) was the best cake hands down! I highly recommend this venue. For reference our wedding included 10 guest with a private dinner following the ceremony.

We visited the Greenbriar in the hopes of hosting a private event this Spring. Following our meeting with Kathi Jo, we asked if we could put down a deposit on the spot to reserve the date. She said she would draw up a contract for us that day after which she would take our deposit. After not receiving a contract that evening, we followed up to no response. When we finally did get a response four days later, it was to say that someone else who had a bigger party had booked the space. We were quite upset as we had asked to put down a deposit on the spot. During these times, it’s completely understandable to desire the larger party but it felt disingenuous given that we asked to put down a deposit on the day we visited. Obviously if it’s not in writing nothing is official but I would caution anyone looking to throw a smaller event that you may be taken advantage of in favor of a bigger group.

Our wedding day was full of changes- first covid changing who could be there, then the Colorado weather decided to send a windstorm (and so we had to move indoors). Through everything, they rolled with it and found a way to make everything incredibly special. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they made our day!

Hello Jenny and Ian,
Thank you so much for your review. It was a breeze to make your day...
amazing. No pun intended ;) With all your wonderful decorations you brought the outside feeling into the space even down to the beautiful aspen frosted cake. The Sunroom had so much natural light would of never guessed it was inside!
Take care and best wishes!

We had a small Covid secure wedding and Kathy Jo saw to all the details. The staff here is wonderful, the food was delicious, and all aspects of our ceremony went perfectly. The staff is great. Kathy Jo is quick, efficient, and responsive. Outdoor seating and a beautiful setting made the whole event wonderful. I highly recommend this picturesque venue.

From start to finish we had a wonderful time with the GreenBriar and their brilliant point person, Kathi Jo. Thoroughly professional. We signed a contract before COVID for 100 guests, but they kindly waived it, and we ended up with a very small and intimate event. We can't thank them enough for being so understanding. Our wedding was small but it was still amazing. The food, drink and service were all outstanding. The location is also delightful, with the perfect spot for portraits by a little pond and waterfall. An excellent venue whether you have 12 or 200 guests.

The Greenbriar Inn is the perfect place for your special day!
My daughter and son-in-law were married at The Greenbriar Inn in June 2020. The owners and staff made the entire day so beautiful. We felt so very pampered! We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to have this celebration! They made everything special! They are professional and caring and took care of all our requests, no matter how big or small.
The outdoor area is so pretty, making for stunning photos with the foothills as the backdrop. Photos at the large water feature were all so amazing!
The Greenbriar Inn has a long history of serving fabulous wines and five star meals. Our dinner was all that and more. The cake was beautiful and deliciously decadent! Our family and friends had such a lovely time!
Start to finish, I am so grateful for the help with planning, the caring for all our details and for everyone there making these fabulous memories for us!

We had a small wedding at RMNP and had our reception at the Greenbriar Inn after. I LOVE the food at this place. Service was wonderful too. I had a couple of special requests for my family and felt very taken care of. They also did an amazing job of seating our whole party outside for maximum COVID precautions. We picked out appetizers, wines and let our guests pick their own salads and main courses. Every single person thought the food was spectacular. I was hearing all about it for weeks. They also did a great job on our wedding cake- I was dreaming of the Berry Chantilly Cake that I've seen at 1,000 weddings and the cake Greenbriar made us was perfect!

The Greenbriar Inn is set in a beautiful location and staffed with top notch people. The event coordinator Kathy Jo was a super star on the day of our wedding. The communication leading up to the event could have been clearer and more prompt in some aspects but overall I am very impressed with the professionalism of all of the staff. Special shout out to Valorie the best waiter ever, she helped take special care of the wedding party and make the dinner as smooth could be. The food was delicious top to bottom; one guest even commented that every single appetizer was amazing where usually one or two are just so-so. They were great at accommodation of food allergies without compromising quality. The Greenbriar is experienced at making sure your event comes out beautifully. I would definitely recommend The Greenbriar Inn for your wedding or special event. Thanks for making my day special GBI!

The Greenbriar Inn was a gorgeous venue for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception. The grounds and landscaping are wonderfully maintained and the outdoor pictures from the ceremony look like a work of art. The food is absolutely exquisite and is a wonderful experience for the guests attending. Kathi Jo was patient and helpful through the entire process, especially as we navigated new territory with Covid. I highly recommend this venue.

We got married at the Greenbriar Inn in July 2018. Our wedding was beautiful, and the grounds were perfect. We were both nervous about booking a venue since we were planning our wedding from Kentucky. I am so glad that we decided on the Greenbriar! Kathy Jo was great to work with and having catering, ceremony, reception, and the cake all at the Greenbriar made planning our wedding from afar that much easier. The view from the ceremony location is beautiful and makes for great photos. I can't wait to come back and visit our wedding venue again for dinner.
Pro tip: Book your wedding on a Monday if you can for the most privacy since the restaurant is closed. :)

Review of The Greenbriar Inn Wedding Ceremony and Reception for Lindsay Guber & Alex Joseph October 12, 2019
Our daughter and son-in-law were married at The Greenbriar Inn on October 12, 2019. Lindsay and Alex worked closely for months with The Greenbriar’s wedding coordinator, Kathi Jo Betsinger. It snowed on the Thursday leading up to the wedding, and we were concerned about Saturday’s outdoor ceremony. As it turned out, it was a picture perfect (warm) afternoon. This was my first introduction to the meticulous attention being paid to the entire wedding day by the Greenbriar staff. They prepared the open lawn area into a beautiful setting where the ceremony was held. Every detail was attended to, as well as dealing with the normal nerves accompanying such a momentous event. I have to say the ceremony was the most beautiful one my family and I had ever seen. The Greenbriar’s backdrop of the mountains, clean crisp air , and sunshine all contributed to a spectacular and memorable wedding.
The ceremony was followed by a cocktail hour on the Greenbriar’s outdoor porch. Once again, no detail was left to chance. Gas heaters were brought out as the sun began to set and temperatures dropped. The hand passed hor d’oeuvres were delicious, and just the right amount for our guests. Once again, Kathi Jo’s recommendations were spot on.
The reception dinner was also excellent. Valerie, the event’s manger, ensured that every detail beginning with the salad, to the entrees and desserts, and of course the wedding cake, were closely managed. No request of ours was too small, and the entire day exceeded our expectations. Once again, a big Thank You to Kathi Jo, Valerie, and their entire staff. I would highly recommend the Greenbriar for a wedding venue. The setting, excellent cuisine, and accommodating staff all created a truly memorable event .
Richard Guber (Father of the Bride) & Family.

Absolutely fantastic! We loved every moment of our wedding at the Greenbriar Inn. Everything was perfectly planned and set up, the food was amazing and the waiters were very accommodating and helped out wherever possible. Kathi Jo was there for us throughout the night. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for an event venue! You can be confident in that your event will run smooth and you and your guests will have a wonderful time.

Wow, what a wedding our daughter and our new son-in-law had at the Greenbrier Inn this past October 19, 2019. The management, the venue, and the weather were truly outstanding . We are very happy and satisfied with the results. My daughter told us that she had her "dream wedding." About 120 guests attended the outdoor wedding and the reception took place inside. We had thought about renting the entire complex for her special day but it was not recommended by management. Not renting the top floor proved to be a practical financial decision and we had no problems at all. I would highly recommend taking the advice of the experts at the Greenbrier Inn.

My husband and I were so happy we chose The Greenbriar for our reception. It was intimate and beautiful and we couldn't have been more pleased. The food and drinks were delicious, although the one complaint I did hear from a lot of guests was how expensive the bar was. We are from out of state so it was VERY difficult to plan the whole wedding not knowing how it would turn out when we were 600 miles away. It was set up beautifully and I think Kathy Jo did an excellent job of communicating with me and answering all my questions. It was everything I could've asked for, she got my vision just right! The one downside that I wasn't a fan of was the fact that the restaurant part was still open during our reception, which it wasn't very busy inside anyways but it was definitely unexpected when we got there. It still turned out wonderful & All in all I would choose them again! I wish I could relive the wedding day over and over again.

To all the staff at the Greenbriar Inn, we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives! We’ve been in contact since February 2019 and any problems we had, any email sent, any request asked, you were absolutely fantastic at getting back to us and providing us with upmost service. It was so lovely to see it all come together on Friday, the venue is magnificent, the food was perfect and the staff were nothing but amazing to deal with! Even the two cakes they made us where fantastic, made our traditional cake and then the Napoleon Russian cake for my husband. Honestly, I would have no hesitation in telling anyone planning their wedding to book The Greenbriar Inn for their venue. You are a special bunch of people and we hope to see you in the new year and visit again.

Joanie and I decided to get married under pretty special circumstances. It was the second marriage for both of us and it really meant a lot for both of us to get everything right, starting with our nuptials. We were able to get our four children to fly in from all corners of the globe, Joanie's 90+ year old parents were there, and we assembled a small but lovely guest list to help us celebrate. We could not have picked a better place than the Greenbriar Inn to host what became a magical event. Our 'theme' for our wedding was that everything must be classy, elegant and sacred. We conveyed this to all there, including the staff, and everyone contributed to achieving our goal. The garden was a perfect place for our ceremony (even the flowers bloomed!), the grounds wonderful for photography, and the dining experience was outstanding, from appetizers to desert. Additionally, I thought the wait staff was particularly attentive to our entire wedding party, contributing to what became a joyous, memorable event for not only Joanie and me, but for all of our honored guests. Maybe this doesn't happen all the time, but honestly, our wedding was perfect. Thanks Kathi Jo and your great staff. See you on our anniversary.
