Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to LePlatt’s Pond! We were thrilled with our experience from the planning phase all the way through our special day and beyond. We will alw...
ays look back on our wedding as unforgettable and will share these memories with our family for years to come. We had several family members say ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.
If you choose to get married at this venue, you are in for a treat, as the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The attentiveness, professionalism, and kindness of Krii, Lacy and the rest of the staff makes the day go smoothly and the weeks leading up to it minimally stressful. The help coordinating all of the moving pieces to make everything come together is indispensable. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to have a fairy-tale wedding with plenty of space for family and friends.
Thank you LePlatt’s and team for all you have done for us!!
With love,
Alden & Briana Reviere

othing but supportive - couldn’t have asked for a better team during such a stressful, unexpected time. Lacy and her team were AMAZING as day of coordinators, we couldn’t have done it without them. We gave Lacy all of our decorations, and she decorated the entire venue way better than I could have ever imagined our decorations could look. Lacy recommended we have our first look at the hops, and I’m so happy we did. The background was beautiful for pictures and video! I was the second bride to stay at the loft, and it was such a blast and adorable! Definitely a must. They have everything you need there and getting ready at the venue made wedding day so much easier. We are so happy to have picked Le Platts and wouldn’t have had it any other way!

credible green grass, trees, and hops, there was no shortage of beauty. Not to mention the pond! It was the perfect place to take pictures after the ceremony, and the tent makes a breathtaking reception. After booking with LePlatt’s, I fell even more in love with it because of the amazing family that owns it. They pour their heart and soul into their venue. It was beautiful seeing the love that grows there within their family, it made it even more magical for us! From the first meeting, the LePlatt’s coordinator Lacy was nothing but professional and prompt. She worked directly with us to make our dream come true. Whatever we wanted, she helped make it happen! Our wedding day was an absolute dream thanks to the LePlatt’s team! There’s nothing I would change about our experience. THANK YOU, LePlatt’s!

We had our wedding at LePlatt's Pond in early June 2019. Choosing LePlatt's as our venue may have been the best decision we made relating to the wedding! The location, in our opini...
on, is the MOST beautiful in Durango and all surrounding areas for those who prefer a green, waterfront backdrop to the typical red-rocks or mountainous landscapes of the area. Mary was our day-of coordinator and contact throughout the planning process, and working with her was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end! She presented as professional and attentive and took SO MUCH pressure off of us throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, we did not have to worry about a thing, as she and her husband assisting her kept everything running completely smoothly! We would highly recommend LePlatt's to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Durango area!
LePlatts pond and the team are amazing! The prices were reasonable and the venue was stunning. Mary (wedding coordinator) was fantastic and really cared about us and our big day. R...
