I cannot comment enough on how perfect this venue is. The most incredible views, perfectly manicured ceremony and reception site, the cleanest bathroom trailer ever. Nick and Alicia were the absolute best as was their staff. This is honestly the only venue in Steamboat that I will ever recommend!!!
We couldn't be more happy with our decision to have our wedding at Lucky 8. The ranch, view, and surrounding area are stunning (at any time of year). Nick, Emily, and the rest of the staff we're the best vendors we worked for our big day. They are easy to work with, very accommodating, knowledgable, and very hard working.
The quality of the amenities provided, from the tent to the restrooms to the bars, is top notch. Lucky 8 has an incredible amount of decorations, furniture, games, and more that you can choose from to really make the venue your own. Nick has some features that we could not find anywhere else, that truly made our day so perfect (horse drawn carriage for our ceremony exit).
While we had some weather before the ceremony, the staff at Lucky 8 was quick to adapt and ensure everything went smoothly.
They even have some very special and memorable things for the bride and groom to do on their big day that brand their love at the ranch forever.
We had our wedding at the fantastic Lucky 8 Ranch in Sept, 2023. Thanks to Nick and the entire team for the gorgeous venue and flawless execution. They were very flexible and creative in helping us plan our ideal event and they worked perfectly in tandem with our vendors to make it happen. Thanks! Matt & Lisa
Our wedding at Lucky 8 Ranch was nothing short of perfect! If you're looking for a unique, secluded, Colorado mountain wedding experience for a great price -- THIS IS IT. To break it down:
Location: Lucky 8 is a quick 20-minute shuttle ride from Steamboat Springs. The perfect destination wedding town for guests! The scenery is everything you'd want for a Colorado mountain wedding -- mountains, aspen trees, tall grass, and bison!
Inclusions: It is INSANE how much is included with this venue -- nothing that we had ever seen before! From the simple things to string lights, chairs, tables, decor, cocktail tables, etc. -- to some of the most unique items like a motorcycle bar, carriage, 1940s pick-up trucks... the list goes on!
Staff: Nick and team were responsive, helpful, and provided white-glove service to us. They were open to all our different ideas and so flexible.
If you're considering Lucky 8 for a venue, this is your sign: DO IT!
Lucky 8 was the most beautiful setting for our wedding. My partner and I wanted a place that encompassed our love for the mountains and outdoors, and this was the perfect place for us. It is a great mix of a blank slate venue that you can add your personality to, but offers the essential rentals included in their packages to take some off the stress off of you finding everything. It is remote so make sure you have great vendors, but you won't regret it! Our guests raved about how beautiful and different of a setting it was. Nick was super helpful and responsive throughout the planning process as well.
Lucky8 ranch was a fantastic venue. We could not be happier with how everything turned out. It’s a beautiful setting and property, with excellent amenities/decoration inventory, and the staff is extremely supportive and helpful throughout the whole process. Cannot say enough good things about Lucky8 ranch.
Having our wedding at Lucky 8 Ranch was nothing short of magical. We lucked out with the best weather and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. The views from the ceremony site are unreal! The cocktail / reception area is also awesome - you don't need much in terms of decorations because it's so pretty. The team at the ranch worked with us on how we wanted it to look and they executed everything so well. They were also life savers the day of the wedding because unfortunately, our wedding coordinator did not help with setup like she was supposed to. The ranch team stepped in and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. It's a unique venue that your guests will talk about for years to come!
We just had our wedding up at the Lucky 8 Ranch this summer, and my goodness, Nick, Keith, and the entire Lucky 8 staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day ever. From their responsiveness throughout the entire planning process, to their flexibility with changes, and all of their efforts to ensure our needs were met were absolutely spectacular. We could not recommend enough for anyone who is looking for a unique and absolutely gorgeous ranch style wedding - do it here! They truly made it not just a typical wedding for us, but an entire experience from start to finish for ourselves as well as friends and family. We can't thank them enough and will absolutely be back in the future for some more adventures!
