Lionscrest Manor

Liz, the day of coordinator, 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!

my questions. The manor is 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!!!

lawlessly. They truly put 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!

off on the big day - did 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.

the package that we did not 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.

t! Everyone we worked with 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!

, do it! You will not regret it and the scenery is breathtaking! Thank you ladies so much for making our day so, so great!

nd majesty of the Colorado 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!

et, extremely professional 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!

t questions I asked. Most 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!

d Tatiana was with all her 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.

he way, you won't need a day-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!

uite picky and critical of 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.

r hands that day! I don't 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 :)

s a wedding miracle and clouds 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!

was amazing. After the ceremony 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.

step in our lives together. 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!

s. We are from Colorado, 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!

and Leona throughout the 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

r vendors was easier and everything fell into place nicely. Highly recommend this venue!

as able to view the 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.

ot only did Lionscrest help 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!!

ed the contract till the end 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

event. Their decor options 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!!

day, they were right there 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.

re. It was very emotional 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!

dvance, on a Sunday before 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.

heir service. They will work 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.

erful day and all of my guests commented on how easy everything seemed to be.

or exceeded literally all of my expectations. The manor itself is exquisitely beautiful and with mountain views will impress your guests. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. They are extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry and will make the entire thing as easy for you as possible. Lionscrest is family owned and operated, and are designed to be flexible to meet the needs of their clients. Their prices are fair and all associated costs are well worth it. I've lost track of all the compliments I've received on our wedding. Months later, people are still raving about it and one friend even went so far as to say it was the best wedding he had ever been to, including his own. We were so pleased with our choice in venue and are very grateful to the Lionscrest staff and vendors for all their help in making our wedding spectacular. You needn't look any further in your search for a venue that will give you everything you could ever want, need, or hope for on your wedding day.

all times and that we were always happy. The venue itself is so gorgeous, i still have family and friends telling me how much they really enjoyed everything. The inclusive package was a HUGE bonus for us, making it much easier on picking and choosing vendors. All of the vendors we did have through Lionscrest were just as wonderful!!! We loved that they all had worked together many times before, so they knew exactly how things are done. We couldn't be happier with the way things turned out, everything was just perfect! We love Lionscrest Manor!!!! :)

what made the day go so great. Tatiana was my wedding coordinator and was fabulous. She kept things rolling and did anything we needed. She kept drinks in our hands all night and made sure my family was taken care of. The venue provided a package which made my decision. It was nice to not have to seek out photographers, florist, cakes, etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this venue!

- like forgetting the flower girls petals for the basket - THANK YOU SHANNON!! you saved my bacon.

The view from Lionscrest is truly breathtaking. Literally on top of a mountain overlooking the town is amazing. Highly recommend!

ane snow storm just days before. My wedding day was stress free thanks to the staff at Lionscrest. They set up all decorations and helped my sister with the cake and 150 cupcakes. WE had the "We Can't Wait" Package which meant that when we schedueled our wedding it was under 120 days. A four month engagement can make this a bit stressful but the staff was very helpful and always got back to me right away when I had a question or a problem. The package also made it very easy to get with other vendors. Our goal was to have a fun wedding which happened thanks to Lionscrest. Our wedding day was PERFECT and I wouldn't change anything

ay would not have been as amazing without them!

ed were fabulous and I would suggest them to all my family and friends. Our big day went just the way I imagined and even better due to their suggestions. I would recommend Lionscrest to anyone, to some people the money might be an issue, but it was all worth it in the end. Shannon worked very closely with us throughout the entire process, she is fabulous and answered all of our questions and had wonderful suggestions. I had a small problem with my dress, one of the bustles came apart and the train was dragging a bit too much, Shannon came to the rescue and in less than 5 minutes she had it fixed and no one even knew I had a problem. We are extremely grateful for everything the entire staff did for us. Not only is the staff wonderful, but the location and the manor itself is breathtaking. We were married in early September of 2011, the weather was gorgeous everything was still in bloom and the view from anywhere in Lionscrest is stunning. Thank you Lionscrest for making our special day nothing less than perfect!

l allowing you some choices. What beautiful pictures and fond memories we have of the Lionscrest. We were even invited to their breakfast with Santa this past Christmas! The staff has amazing attention to detail and really makes sure you are looked after from start to finish. You can tour the Manor and meet the family/ owners every Tuesday night at their open house. Stop and have dinner at the Lyon's Fork too! That place is another gem of Lyons, CO.

ll the way in the process without needing a wedding planner. Fantastic in every way!

erviewing many vendors. Their pre-approved list of vendors turned out to be wonderful. Our big day went off without a hitch, thanks to Shannon at Lionscrest. We are so pleased!

would do it again in a minute.

They should have had more choices for us to decorate instead of charging for certain table cloths, table decors, etc. The day of the wedding they made everything run so smoothly, which is exactly why we chose their all-inclusive. All in all, It was a great place! Beautiful.

a hitch. I cannot thank them enough for the best day of my life!

staff was amazing. They thought of everything and had it ready to go on the wedding day, which gave me the time to just enjoy the wedding day! Love them!

be worth the price. But when we visited Lionscrest, we knew it would be our venue. Their staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices were by far the BEST we'd seen, AND it was by far the most beautiful venue. Bang for your buck right there! On our wedding day, things went so smoothly. Tatiana was our event manager and she was FABULOUS. I feel like I should've paid her to be our wedding coordinator - that's how great she was! She was always a step ahead of us, always right there when we needed her and I truly felt like she could read my mind the whole night. I will ALWAYS recommend Lionscrest Manor. They truly are knowledgeable, friendly, professional and THE wedding gurus! Keep it up, LCM!

s the perfect venue for my perfect day.

tch, and it couldn't have been any better!

perfect. Everytime we turned around, a staff member was helping us, feeding us, or helping the event move along perfectly. I would highly recommend Lionscrest Manor to anyone.

cludes 4 hours. A very short amount of time considering all them money and effort that goes into the day. It felt a bit like taking our turn putting our faces through a cardboard cut-out to having our picture taken.

162 guest on both levels very comfortably. More exceptional than the location of the venue, was the quality of service that we received the months leading up to the wedding and wedding night itself. Tatiana was more than amazing, taking care of all the intricate details without a hitch. Many of our guests noticed how great she was at taking care of everything and we were very glad that she was there. Even before the day, we were in constant contact with Lionscrest staff both through email and over the phone. Needless to say, they are very organized and you will be very well taken care of both leading up to your wedding and the night of as well! Highly recommended!

asy to manage from a distance, and the venue itself is gorgeous.
