Lionscrest Manor

ding come true. They work with a ton of amazing vendors and our experience was great. Definitely recommend this venue for your most special day!

, and they made everything very clear before the wedding. They recommended we also bring a manilla envelope for cards, and it was a lifesaver. They are the best ever!

answered with ease, clarity and poignancy. When we went to our details meeting I was extremely amazed at how organized and well planned out everything was. The day of definitely had some hiccups but not due to Lionscrest. Shannon was amazing to work with and helped make everything smooth as possible. It was such an impressive setup and take down. The only concern we had was the size of the men's dressing room. It was very crowded to try and change with several people. Thanks for everything Lionscrest you made our day beautiful.

iterally hundreds of weddings over 28 years) calmed our nervous kids right down with her sensible no-nonsense practicality. Then we toured the GORGEOUS venue - it has everything you want, including a spacious lovely outdoor lawn with trees and mountain vistas for an outdoor ceremony. The day of the wedding, staff kept everything flowing smoothly. Nothing went wrong, because they headed everything off ahead of time. The staff were so nice, so helpful, seemed to have anticipated everything. Absolutely no complaints - what you get when you hire the professionals!

the vendors provided through the venue were great. The food was great, the decor was great, the drinks were great! Set up and tear down were also a breeze. We worked with a few different ladies throughout our planning process with Lionscrest. Shannon helped us choose decor and go through the contract at our details meeting and Tatiana was our day of coordinator. Tatiana was a blessing! She was somehow everywhere at once! I don't know how she did it. The rehearsal was really smooth. Then at the wedding she took care of setting up all the extra stuff we brought as well as pinning all the boutonnieres on the groomsmen, making sure my husband and I had drinks the whole time, helping with timing, and much more. We loved our venue and we loved working with Tatiana! The night was amazing thanks to them.

our deadlines and getting everything we needed in place in advance of our big day. The day of our wedding, everything could not have gone more smoothly. Lionscrest staff were professional and easy to work with, the weather was perfect, and the evening could not have been more beautiful. Our day-of coordinator, Tatiana, was a huge help and always made sure that we felt great about everything. She always had quick solutions for any small last-minute decisions that came up during the course of the day. The view from atop the small cliff to the side of the property provided the perfect backdrop for some amazing photos. We absolutely loved the land and venue and we are so glad that we went with Lionscrest Manor as our venue. Could not recommend more highly!

ith the inclusive package they let you remove vendors so if you're really set on a particular thing you don't have to sacrifice it. You provide your own alcohol (but they have a liquor store you can work with) so you aren't paying an outrageously overpriced amount to have an open bar. You literally pay the same price you would if you went to a liquor store. We chose to remove the cake company they work with so we could make our donut wall dream come true and their staff was more than willing to help set up the donut wall even though we didn't use their vendor. Our day of coordinator (also included in our package), Liz, was very helpful and I truly felt like she was there to do anything and everything to make our day so smoothly. The entire property is gorgeous and we had many guests tell us our venue was one of the most beautiful venues they had ever been to. I would highly recommend this venue!

f coordinator and was excellent. The bridal suite is beautiful, the whole venue is beautiful!! All our guests raved about the space. It is clear that the staff knows what they are doing. Communication was fantastic throughout. I could go on and on, but moral of the story is I wouldn’t have wanted to host our event anywhere else.

ill be and how it will look! They enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams in a beautiful location in the foothills of Colorado! Each member of the team was responsive and accommodated our requests and worked closely with us as we all had to navigate how to have a wedding during this time and made transitions and last minute switches a breeze! I couldn’t recommend them enough to any couple for their event! You won’t find a better a team!

e couldn’t figure it out and caught our mistake when we forgot to make some of our signs. She truly went above and beyond. Lionscrest Manor is also so beautiful. Our guests didn’t stop raving about the beautiful views inside and outside. The fact they let our dog, Willow, be a part of the ceremony was also an amazing plus. The responsiveness and customer service of the venue were beyond our expectations and we would recommend them to everyone. We also loved the option of the inclusive package so it made our planning a lot easier and all of the vendors they work with were amazing. Highly recommend!

clusive package which rolls in catering, cake, decor, photography, officiant, and more. We were still able to customize to make our day exactly what we wanted too. We came to Lionscrest to check it out and just had a feeling it was right and I'm so glad we picked them! Also this venue has so many cute places for guests to hang out in. Guests could enjoy the band, or hang out on the lawn, or back patio, or by the fountain. It was so special and Lionscrest created the perfect environment for us! Thank you!

hey are doing. :)

finger! We got so many compliments on the location and the reception. I would absolutely recommend this venue! A really awesome perk is the ability to bring your own alcohol. This saved us a bunch of money and let us customize the offerings to fit our wedding. We are absolutely thrilled this is where our wedding was!

nything and everything from decor, set-up, and even waiting on the wedding party. The vendors they work with that are part of the inclusive package are also great! Overall, it is a great value for what you get, and you can rest easy knowing the other vendors have all been vetted. If you are looking for a beautiful and unique venue, this is it!

and new the venue so well. Highly recommend for an easy, organized, stress free and gorgeous wedding venue!!

ng your wedding here so much easier. We did the Colorado Inclusive package and used all of the recommended vendors. That saves so much work because they all know the venue, and each other, well. Lionscrest has a day-of coordinator. Put that altogether and the wedding set itself up while I focused on hair, make-up and getting dressed! Leona and Shannon were so pleasant and helpful to work with. Debby at Reale Events knew exactly what flowers we needed to spruce up our décor, and provided the leftover flowers to Colorado Rose Cake Company to decorate our beautiful cake. Our Officiant Girard Sheffield had lunch with our DJ (Michael of Pure Sounds) and compared notes about how we wanted to run our ceremony. And we're still getting compliments about how good the cake and Greens Point Catering's food was. If you want less stress and a beautiful venue with mountain views and plenty of great photo options, not to mention great food and an awesome DJ, we highly, HIGHLY, recommend Lionscrest Manor!

cutter wedding that everyone had there! They were absolutely amazing to work with in every way. They put up with my millions of questions, let us bring out of town family members for tours a couple times, and really made us feel comfortable and relaxed about the wedding day! Emily was our day of coordinator, and while I thought she did amazing I really didn't have too much contact with her. It was the rest of my family that RAVED about her and everything she did for us that day! I don't have one bad thing to say about the venue or the people there. On top of the amazing service, you can't beat the beauty of the venue. Absolutely, 100% recommended this venue!

e wanted to use our own caterer and bring our own liquor. If you do this, you have to use the At Your Service Event Management company (facebook.com/AtYourServi…) but it was worth every penny as they made my life so easier and more on the big day. When we were looking for venues, I didn't realize they rarely include the tables, linens, plates, silverware, and chairs into the price (which is ABSURD in my opinion - I need more than a room and a field to get married in). Even with the venue only package, Lionscrest included all of those things so we didn't have to worry about any of it. They have a TON of linen colors to choose from and they will let you get as creative as you want! I had 40,000 questions and they were always answered and addressed. We had some special requests such as using our own archway, special decor, alternating color linens etc. and everything was accommodated. Ever since we booked the Lionscrest, every single person at the venue was amazing, helpful, sweet, communicative, thoughtful, and overall lovely. On the big day, Emily was our coordinator from the venue and I could not be more thankful for her and everything she did for us. Between her and Jim from At Your Service, everything was absolute perfection and everything we needed and hoped for. Thank you so much to Lionscrest and for those of you reading this, don't book anywhere else!!!

tied around she did them all and they looked perfect!!

gh the next day! They were also great about answering any questions and helping us coordinate throughout our entire engagement. I was struggling to find a place within our small budget, that was not just an event center, and preferably in the mountains. Lionscrest hit all of our requirements! The place itself is beautiful and surrounded by gorgeous landscape just outside of Estes Park. The staff were also more than willing to give us additional options and packages that would fit within our budget. Our wedding was a beautiful day in November and our guests are still commenting on the location:)

a wedding venue if you are looking for that mountain feel. The staff was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married! Thanks Lionscrest for an incredible day and one we will cherish forever!

what sells the venue. My husband and I could not have asked for a better venue for our October wedding. Thank you Lionscrest!

lusive package and still being able to customize it and choose a few of our own vendors. Shannon and everyone at Lionscrest were so organized, helpful and friendly which made the planning process a breeze! They have a very detailed and clearly laid out forms and website which made it easy for us to coordinate with our vendors. Our wedding night was the best day of our lives thanks to Lionscrest and all of our incredible vendors, most of who were recommended by Lionscrest!

ions really made things simple for us and a great choice. They had several décor options and their staff was incredible helpful in helping us pick out the right décor and everything looked amazing. in fact, I gave them some creative lee-way with my decorations and they made things look even better than I'd ever imagined. The day of staff was so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. I can't say enough how great of a place this was to get married!!

of our ideas and requests were met. The venue was gorgeous, our guests are still telling us what a beautiful location it was! It feels very secluded being tucked up on a private mountain in Lyons, but is still within a reasonable distance to the Boulder area, about a 30 mins drive. During the planning period they offer a wide variety of choices for vendors but also also allow for flexibility to bring in your own vendors. Although I highly recommend using one of their preferred caterers, there is a decent size list to choose from and sometimes it is nice when you are planning and have so many decisions to make to have your choices narrowed down to ones that the venue already has experience working with. Our choice was Front Range Catering Company which was another really positive experience. While we worked with many members of their team throughout the process, Tatiana was one of the primary people that we worked with and she was our day of representative as well. She was very pleasant to work with, extremely kind and has a great calming demeanor which is nice when the big day can seem so hectic. I can't thank Tatiana enough for executing everything so flawlessly! I highly recommend this beautiful, family run venue for anyone looking for a venue for both their ceremony and reception just outside of the Boulder area! Thanks again Lionscrest Team!

r, was a godsend. She was so kind and efficient! Since my wedding was April 1st, we had no idea what the weather was going to be, but they made sure that the whole wedding party knew what would happen for the ceremony whether it was indoors or outdoors. The whole staff at Lionscrest goes above and beyond to ensure you get exactly the type of wedding you want, that the process is easy and stress free, and that you enjoy your day! I would recommend them to everyone!

beautiful and was perfect for our brunch wedding. We had the wedding indoors because of snow and the pictures all turned out so beautifully because of all of the natural light that comes in from the big windows. Also the bridal suite we used to get ready was perfect because it was big enough for everyone and was so pretty we got many pictures in there too! It was just a perfect place for a pink filled spring wedding!!!

us first, and working with a family-owned venue was the best choice we made for our wedding. We loved having the whole day at their venue and couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

we regret our choice. These ladies (Leona and her 4 daughters, so cool that it is a family-run venue) have wedding planning down to a science, but in such a personalized way - the whole time you feel like your wedding is the only one that matters. The Colorado Inclusive package is such a great deal (especially in the off-season like we booked) and the vendors they suggest really ARE the best of the best. Their preferred vendors all know each other so well, and once you book Lionscrest you feel like you are in on a wonderful secret because half of the work is done for you. If you are BIG planners like us, Lionscrest is perfect because they care so much about the little things, coordination, etc. But even if you're not, they can take what you give them and help fill in the gaps. The "details meeting", about 6 weeks out from the wedding, went over everything from decor to where to have the group photo to who will take home the gifts/extra cake - EVERYTHING is covered in just an hour and an half and you know your day is in good hands. We had really wanted an outdoor ceremony, but our April wedding day was cold and rainy - the indoor ceremony turned out to be incredible (and we didn't have to worry about cold, heat, or wind interfering). If the weather is touch-and-go, they can have the ceremony set up for both inside and outside for a last-minute decision, and transform the ballroom from ceremony to reception (like for ours) in just 15 minutes! The rain stopped just long enough for us to take pictures outside, and there are SO many pretty spots, from the Steamboat Mountain backdrop to the rocky ridges to the Maison du Lion barn, to take them! Shannon was our rehearsal/wedding-day coordinator and asked all the right questions, and kept us on track by checking in with us throughout the day without overwhelming us at all. She was so sweet and a big Disney fan like us, too! We have received countless compliments from our guests about the beauty of the manor/area, the coordination of the day, and the fun that was had - all of this starts with the venue choice. The location itself is perfect - a Colorado mountain wedding without having to drive for hours and hours. If we HAD to nitpick about one thing, the ballroom as-is could use a tad more color (it is elegant, but some might say overly sterile/white), but you can easily add decor upgrades like we did that enhanced the feel (and our pictures turned out amazing). Get married at Lionscrest. Seriously.

t need. We booked our wedding 14 months in advance. They did not charge extra to get married on a Saturday which was a huge plus! They also only do one event per day, so they are completely focused on you on your wedding day. Our day of coordinator, Shannon, was AMAZING! We met her the day before our wedding when we went to the venue for our rehearsal. She was incredibly organized and went out of her way to make our wedding day run smoothly. We had an UP themed wedding, and she went as far as to print the name cards for the chairs with UP graphics. She was always ten steps ahead and thought of every detail. We could not have been happier with our experience with Lionscrest.

was so incredibly nice and understanding. Liz was assigned to us as our wedding coordinator and she did not miss a beat! She watched over the entire set up, coordinated everybody and made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of the night! Not a worry to be had! All under control! Liz, you are the BOMB! Wonderful! I highly recommend Lionscrest Manor in Lyon's for your wedding!

et it and the scenery is breathtaking! Thank you ladies so much for making our day so, so great!

Mountains. They wanted to look at several different venues but when they drove to this location and saw the gorgeous view and venue, they knew, this was the one. They fell in Love with it. It is truly amazing! Breathtaking! The day was incredible and worry free. Shannon was the day of coordinator and the contact we worked with for a year and a half. She is so easy to work with and made the day so delightful and worry free! You and your staff are the BEST OF THE BEST! I can't tell you how many compliments we received about how wonderful everything was. We couldn't have done it without you. A perfect beginning to a life of LOVE AND HAPPINESS! THANKS FOR MAKING MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING DAY A DREAM COME TRUE!

and definitely knew what she was doing! We enjoyed working with the staff in the months leading up to the big day. I love that the venue is family-operated and owned. I highly recommend getting married here!

imporantantly, they were sweet, kind, and understanding- since they are a very popular venue, I asked if my friends and I could craft unique decorations and centerpieces (following their decor guidelines). I received an enthusiastic "yes!" and they allowed friends and family members help decorate and make it one of the most personable and memorable days of our lives! We worked with Liz as the day-of coordinator. She was so knowledgeable and kept the schedule running smoothly and stress-free! If you are looking for the most beautiful and stress-free wedding, at a decent price, look no further. Lionscrest has the views, the vendors , and the professionalism, and I would recommend them again and again. Happy Wedding!

specific instructions. That carried over to the night of the big event where everything was taken care of and the venue itself was absolutely beautiful. With the Lionscrest staff, you don't even need a wedding planner, they step into that role! I can't recommend them enough after such a wonderful experience we had.

ay-of coordinator if you go with her!) The view is also beautiful. However, I was a bit disappointed with them leading up to the big day. We chose Lionscrest largely in part because we felt like it would offer more of a personal touch. (They sell it as though every wedding is important to them and as a family-run business, this appealed to us.) In the end, they are (like most venues) in the business of doing weddings full-time and you are just one of a 100+ couples they see each year. As a result, I felt like we were largely just led through a checklist given to all couples. I also had trouble getting answers to several questions, emails, etc. until just days before the wedding and found them inflexible with certain things, especially for what we paid. (You definitely have to pay for anything outside of your package, etc.) Also, their policy is to close the bar an hour before the end of the reception, which isn't a big deal, but just something to keep in mind for your guests. Be prepared to also pay for more time if you want to get dressed and/or have your hair and/or makeup done there. In the end, I think if you are looking for a venue that will get you in and out and ensure a smooth event, go with them, but if you're looking for something with a bit more of a personal touch added in and a bit more flexibility, you may want to look elsewhere. I would also say that if you have more than 150 guests, I would think carefully about the space for your reception as it's a bit tight. I hope this review will be helpful to other couples looking!

every detail. Leona and her family checked every box on our list for professionalism, honesty, promptness, understanding, and every other quality you could hope to have in the people working with you on your wedding. Besides the management, Lionscrest is a gorgeous manor in a secluded area. There will be no need for you to worry about the sound of cars passing by as you say your vows. You can hear a pin drop if you stand alone in the ceremony yard. The reason we ended up going with another venue was simply for the sake of personality-matching. Lionscrest is elegant, classic, stately, majestic, and has an older feel to it. We are getting married quite young and decided to go with something that had a bit more of a modern, ebullient vibe. I would highly recommend this space to anyone looking for isolation, romance, and gorgeous mountain views at their wedding - at a completely reasonable price.

know what we would have done without her. There was a rain shower right at our ceremony time, but Colorado being Colorado, it cleared in 10 minutes, the seats were dried and our guests served drinks in the meantime. We actually ended the ceremony early and got back on schedule. The talits (cloths that go over a chuppah/arch in Jewish weddings) had gotten wet during the rain and Tatiana returned them dried and folded to my father-in-law. She also gracefully handled a guest that got incredibly drunk early in the evening. She also helped take care of tips and directing guests and making sure everything got to the right place at the end of the night. On a separate note about the venue itself, we had nothing but rave reviews. Our out of town guests could not believe how gorgeous it was up there :)

ouds dispersed and the rain stopped for the ceremony and pictures!!) I had found a photographer before I found the venue, so we used both our own photographer and officiant, however there are so many good things about this inclusive venue. For starters, everyone knows everyone. If I had a question, someone got back to me within 24 hours (usually within 2-3 if I sent an email!) the coordinators are such a great team that if your coordinator is out of the office you can be confident you are getting the answers you need. Someone always responds right away. Second, their preferred vendors really are the best of the best. The cinnamon roll cake from Colorado Rose Cake company is amazing, Rachel from a florae was a terrific florist and even stuck around to pin the flowers on the guys, b town liquor came through when our initial beverage coordinator fell short--with less than two weeks notice, b town put together an amazing package! Michael with pure sounds production was also wonderful and went to great lengths to find a very specific and hard to find song for me! Tina with Greenspoint was also terrific and the best thing about an inclusive venue is that they all work together so seamlessly. When we decided to extend half an hour, all vendors were on board and Lionscrest knew the exact price without even having to chat with them first. I cannot say enough good things about Lionscrest, all the vendors, and Liz especially as a day of coordinator! The views are spectacular, the bridal suite for getting ready is to die for, and even the groom's room is spacious and nice! I recommend buying an extra hour of set up time, it took my bridesmaids and I longer than I thought to get ready so I'm glad I did that! Thank you for an amazing wedding!

remony the rain stopped and we went outside for some gorgeous photos. Everyone that came to our wedding said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Thank you to all the staff at Lionscrst. You will always be in our hearts.

. My husband and I got married at Lionscrest on 4/4/2015. It was an absolutely unforgettable day that we will cherish forever. Not only was the venue amazing and beautiful but the staff was fantastic as well. Our event coordinator for our rehearsal and wedding day, Tatiana was just fabulous - she made the day completely flawless! Thank you Lionscrest for making our wedding absolutely perfect!

but we live out of state now. The staff made planning very easy despite the distance. They were easy to communicate, and they also accommodated us with extra in-person meetings when we got the chance to visit Colorado. Shannon and Tatiana were also readily accommodating with our non-traditional ideas for the ceremony, even when they required extra work. On the day of the wedding, everything went better than we even hoped. The grounds were so beautiful, and we loved how everything was set up. So did our guests. The staff was so organized; they took care of everything so that the only we had to be responsible for was enjoying our day. Anything we needed seemed to just appear right when we needed it, which speaks to the efficiency and hard work of the Lionscrest staff. Our wedding was perfect for us, so we cannot help but recommend Lionscrest Manor to others!

entire process. They ensured that every detail was thought about a covered from start to finish. The planning process was smooth and seamless. They gave us great recommendation for all of our vendors. This venue helped us create a once in a lifetime wedding, that we will remember forever. Our pictures from the wedding are stunning and that is mainly contributed to this unique facility. It is truly a one of a kind! The venue helped inspirer majestic mountain wedding. Thank you to all of the Lionscrest Manor staff for making us feel so special on our wedding day! Lauren and Matt Furjanic

verything fell into place nicely. Highly recommend this venue!

I fell in love and knew I made the right decision. The pictures I saw were stunning, but it was even more beautiful in person. The day of my wedding Tatiana was my day of coordinator. I have never met anyone who was so attentive and wanted to make sure I never had to worry about a thing. I could not have asked for a better experience and I am so thankful that they were there to help make it the wedding of my dreams.

p with the venue change, but they made sure ALL of our decorations arrived at our new venue. They even helped with the setup and the coordination of our wedding. Just seeing their smiling faces made me happy on my wedding day because I knew everything was taken care of. David Tutera watch out because the staff of Lionscrest is amazing and they will do whatever they can to make your wedding amazing, even in the face of a natural disaster! I would also like to mention that most of the people of Lionscrest live or live around Lyons, which got the worst of the disaster, and they still made sure my wedding went great. They have such amazing hearts and really care about each one of their brides. All brides do not look any further than Lionscrest! This is the most amazing location and staff, and your wedding will be amazing because of them. Thank you Lionscrest for everything you did for me, my now husband and all of our guests!!

nd of our wedding we received the very best service. The entire staff was friendly, quick to respond to all questions, knowledgeable and professional. They definitely have the experience to make your wedding day go absolutely perfectly. Jessica H

s are endless and the Inclusive Package made planning SO much easier on our end. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to make our wedding dreams come true!!

with me making sure everything for my wedding day went perfect. They were so helpful in the planning and also making sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding.

because it was even prettier than I could have imagined! Shannon made everything so easy for us! We both work full-time so planning a destination wedding can be tricky. Not only did Lionscrest make finding our vendors easy, but every single one of them blew us away. The fact that they all work together and often makes it all run so smoothly. And they are all so supportive of each other and speak very highly of one another. I LOVED that. We enjoyed our wedding more than any wedding either of us have ever been to!! And all of our guests were astounded at how awesome everything was. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! Thanks Lionscrest Staff! You guys rock!

wedding season. We didn't think the inclusive package would be worth it, but we ended up going with the caterer included in the package anyways so it would have been worth it in the end.

rk with you (and your overly enthusiastic mother and mother in law) thru the whole planning process to make sure your dreams come true. On the day of, I didn't need to lift a finger, even when there were a few chaotic things happening. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

ests commented on how easy everything seemed to be.
