Tiffany at Marchand Ranch was exceptional to work with! She was easy to communicate with, always quick at responding, and was well organized! We loved how we could space out the pa...
yments for the venue. The “something borrowed shed” was a life saver when looking for decorations. The venue day of was absolutely beautiful and the Coordinator helped to keep everything running smoothly.
The overall experience of the ranch was amazing. With scenic views for the ceremony that were breathtaking. We utilized a more private side of the ranch for additional sunset photos which turned out priceless. The authentic ranch added to the perfect day that we wanted for our wedding.
Our day of coordinator worked with our other vendors allowing for a very smooth wedding day taking all of the worry off our shoulders for scheduling and day of specifics. Tiffany and Solana were extremely communicative allowing for us to be prepared and organized for our wedding day.
Setting up the day of went very efficiently because of the easy access of the venue. We felt very welcome and able to make the barn space our own giving it our own personal touches for our day.
We had the most special and memorable wedding day, thanks to the team at Marchand Ranch!
We just had our wedding at Marchand Ranch and can’t say enough amazing things about the experience! We had a microwedding (~30 people) and it was challenging to find a venue within...
our budget that wouldn’t feel too large for this size party. When we were doing initial sourcing for potential venues, Cassie with Marchand quickly set us up on a call with Tiffany. After chatting with her briefly, we quickly cancelled additional calls we had with other venues and signed that night to have our wedding at Marchand Ranch - and gosh, what a great decision!
Tiffany was so warm and friendly in every single interaction we had with her. From the first call, she put our minds at ease. She has stellar experience in creating beautiful events and helped us craft a vision for a warm and intimate celebration and showed us how to bring it to life. On the day of our wedding, she was responsive, kind, and thoughtful. She was so helpful and went above and beyond at the end of the evening while cleaning up, too. I don’t know what’s best about Tiffany: the exceptional work she does or the delightful, joyful, and kind attitude with which she does it. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her.
Tiffany has intentially built a wonderful team to bring the Marchand Ranch vision to life. We were lucky enough to have Solana as our day-of coordinator (this is an amazing perk that comes with the venue and helped smooth out several sticky parts of the day). Solana was cheerful, kind, and helped extensively when executing the wedding day. I was a nervous wreck and we had a few snags day of (nothing related to Marchand Ranch), but she jumped in and helped us keep everything on track.
Now, for the venue - we signed with Marchand Ranch sight unseen, in part because of how beautiful the photos were. That said, photos do not do justice for the natural beauty. The drive to the Ranch is lovely, especially if you’re having people in from out of town. It really captures Colorado’s natural beauty. The mountains pop against the sky, the greenery is stunning, and it encapsulates so many aspects of why people love our stunning state. Additionally, the redone barn has a rustic elegance and was just so stunning. The “Something Borrowed Shed” and the tables, linens, chargers, and decor that was included with the venue is something you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere and helped cut costs that can add up quickly.The floor is incredible for dancing, and we could not be happier with our experience at Marchand Ranch.
If you’re getting married in Colorado, there’s no better place to do it than at Marchand Ranch! Stunning views, incredible venue, and most importantly, a capable and kind team who will ensure your day is magical. Could not recommend Marchand Ranch more!!!
There truly are not enough words to describe how incredible our experience was with Marchand Ranch Weddings & Events. We booked our wedding about a year and a half in advance, and ...
from day one until the very end, Tiffany and her team exceeded every expectation we had. As a very Type A bride, I had plenty of questions throughout the planning process, and Tiffany was always so quick to respond to my texts. At one point she even called me just to answer my questions and walk me through everything that had changed since we had booked so far in advance. That level of care and communication meant so much to us.
We visited the ranch several times leading up to our wedding, and somehow every visit was even better than the last. They were constantly making improvements, from new concrete to beautiful permanent décor, and it was obvious how much pride they take in the property. We also attended one of their open houses, and it was one of the most helpful parts of our planning process. Getting to meet vendors, ask questions, and experience the venue in action was such a unique touch that we truly appreciated. From our very first tour with Papa Gary, hearing the history of the family's working ranch and the legacy behind the land, we knew this place was something special. They didn't just share a venue with us, they welcomed us into something that felt like home.
As the wedding got closer, Solana reached out and immediately put all of my nerves at ease. She helped us finalize countless details and even met us at a separate location to lead our rehearsal, which was above and beyond what we expected. On our wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. She was constantly moving behind the scenes, making sure everything stayed on schedule and handling every little detail without ever making a single problem our problem. She worked so hard to make our day feel effortless, and that did not go unnoticed. Luke, who spent the day capturing content for us, was equally wonderful. He was so kind, helpful, and willing to jump in wherever he was needed. In fact, every single member of the Marchand Ranch team seemed willing to do whatever it took to make our day perfect, whether or not it was technically part of their job.
At the end of the night, the team continued to amaze us by helping clean up and organize far more than we ever expected. It's the little things like that that truly set them apart.
We could honestly write pages about how wonderful our experience was, but we'll simply say this: Tiffany, Papa Gary, Solana, Luke, and the entire Marchand Ranch team gave us the calmest, smoothest, and most perfect wedding day we could have ever imagined. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Marchand Ranch a thousand times over. Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives.
Marchand Ranch was a fantastic venue for our daughter's wedding in October. The facility is a tasteful blend of modern class and rustic charm. The location is beautiful, out of the...
way and quiet. We loved the all inclusive price and they provided so many unexpected perks! The 'Something Borrowed' shed was wonderful! So many beautiful things for us to use and the ranch was there to offer anything we may have forgotten. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and make the day stress free. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!
Our entire experience with Marchand Ranch was amazing from start to finish. Tiffany was always available to answer questions and offer support whenever we needed it. The venue is b...
eautiful, and they continue to make upgrades. From when we had our tour a year before our wedding day, to the actual day of, they added so many great improvements that made our day even better.
One of our favorite features was the Something Borrowed Shed, which offers so many decorations to use as you wish. It saved us so much money and made planning so convenient! We also loved how flexible the venue was. They truly allow couples to add their own personal touches so your day reflects exactly what you envision.
Our day-of coordinator, Solana, was incredible. When our DJ wasn’t a good emcee, she stepped in and became our emcee without hesitation and made sure everything flowed perfectly. She also showed up to our rehearsal to help run everything and make sure everyone knew where to be and what the timing was. This helped the actual ceremony flow perfectly and everyone knew exactly what was happening and when.
It was also helpful to have access to recommended vendors familiar with the venue while still having the freedom to choose our own. We found a wonderful caterer through Tiffany’s recommendation, but weee still able to choose other vendors as we wanted, even if they weren’t the recommended vendors provided to us.
Our guests loved the location, accessibility, and setup, and we received so many compliments. You simply can’t beat the value for everything that’s included. We’re so grateful to Tiffany, Solana, and the entire Marchand Ranch team for helping us create the perfect day. Highly recommend!
The venue was absolutely beautiful. If you're looking for a venue with several different options for getting married, I highly recommend this one. The entire team (plus every one o...
f our other vendors) was very receptive to our needs that day. It truly was the best place to marry my best friend.
We had the absolute honor of having our hometown wedding at Marchand Ranch, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From day one, the team—especially Tiffany—was incredibly accomm...
odating, kind, and supportive. We were given so much flexibility throughout the planning process, with countless visits leading up to the big day and generous set-up time that made all the difference.
Tiffany and her team went above and beyond to ensure the space was perfect for our wedding, working tirelessly to complete beautiful additions to the venue in time for our day. Every detail was stunning, and it’s clear how much heart and passion she pours into making Marchand Ranch so special.
The venue itself is breathtaking, but what made it even more meaningful was the personal connection to the place and people behind it. We’re so proud to now be a small part of the Marchand Ranch legacy.
Our content turned out absolutely amazing—Luke did a phenomenal job capturing the space and the energy of the day. I’m so excited to keep editing and sharing everything, and you better believe Marchand will be tagged every time!
If you're considering Marchand Ranch for your wedding or event—do it. You’ll be in the best hands, and you’ll have a beautiful, meaningful, unforgettable experience.
Marchand Ranch was perfect for our wedding day! Everyone we worked with was filled with joy and was so helpful. They all really know what they're doing! We selected vendors (cateri...
ng, DJ, and photographer) that typically work at Marchand Ranch and it made everything so easy - since they already knew the lay of the land. Not to mention - THE PRICE!! We saved so much money and stress booking Marchand Ranch. You would NEVER guess this venue was that affordable. Our wedding was in June and we chose to have the ceremony and reception inside. While they do have some nice outside covered areas on the property, it still was really hot that day. So, having the inside option was PERFECT! Tiffany, Lydia, and Solana made our wedding day the best day ever!! I cannot recommend them enough!

ess. Any ideas you have, they will work to make it happen! The Something Borrowed shed was incredible and helped so much in the planning process and decor. It is an amazing addition. The venue itself had a beautiful rustic barn setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The huge sliding doors made the reception so fun with an indoor/outdoor dance floor. My mother is in a wheelchair and had no issues getting in and out of the venue nor any issues with parking. The venue comes with a day of coordinator, the highway was closed that morning and I didn't have to worry about communicating with my vendors at all and everything was taken care of! Tiffany and the whole team really help your vision come to life and you can really personalize the space to fit your decor and guests. They do not nickle and dime you for chairs and table cloths, a lot of places can't say the same!! I would highly recommend Marchand Ranch to any couple looking for a breathtaking, mountain inspired wedding venue where you can let your creativity fly and bring in outside vendors of your choice, which helps being budget friendly! I wish I could have a wedding there every weekend!
This has to be one of the best venues in Colorado! I have been in the wedding/floral business for over 40 years and have set up many weddings, receptions, parties, and events. Ma...
rchand Ranch venue and surrounding area are stunning and easy to get to! The owners and staff are so attentive to your needs & wants! They include so many of the things you need in price, other venues typically add all those things on! What a savings! I have watched this venue go from the modest ranch barn to the truly beautiful venue it is today! And still improving! I have seen Tiffany and her staff go above and beyond to provide everything possible for a stress-free event for weddings and events! In Colorado, it's so important to have an option for indoor/outdoor events! From a professional standpoint, I recommend Marchand Ranch for your wedding or event! Schedule your free tour and check it out! Bonus- you will not find a nicer or more genuine family to work with for your special event!
I wasn't going to write a review but when I decided to look at past reviews and saw that one of our guests had left a review I felt it necessary to do so especially after the respo...
nse that they received. I will review with only the facts. Please know that these are not my opinions or rumors.
The positive is the venue is beautiful inside and out! The mountains in the background are breathtaking! It has the perfect exit setup. We were so pleased with the exit. The bride and groom suites are fabulous. The pictures turned out amazing. Our photographer and DJ were awesome!
The negatives. Communication was a challenge especially with the day of coordinators. We had Hope up until two weeks before the wedding and then the owner switched us to Solana. Just know that you won’t receive much from them until the day of and at that point it is still very limited. My daughter would text questions and never receive answers. She asked about an early run through that was offered in the contract and never received a return text until the day she had asked for. We had also got this feedback from a bride that had done her wedding there before us, unfortunately it was too late as we had already signed the contract.
If you do a summer wedding, know that it will be uncomfortably hot. We chose this venue because it was advertised that it was air conditioned. It has cooling units but in the summer heat and with the doors open just know it will be scorching until the sun goes down.
We were told and it is listed that the venue can hold up to 300 people for a seated event and 400 for buffet style. We had 287 people rsvp but only 255 showed. There is no possible way for 300 people to fit in the venue for a sit down function know that there will be tables outside with that amount of people.
Also make sure you are aware of the table sitting capacity. Through text my daughter was told the tables seated 8-10 people we ASSUMED 10 people could sit at each table that is not correct. There are tables that can seat 8 and tables that can seat 10. Make sure you know the number of each.
The venue offers tablecloths. If you care about the shape the table clothes are in or there appearance, rent them. The table clothes were given to us wrinkled . There was a huge burn hole in one of them. The square top tablecloths are not long enough and the head tablecloth barely even covered the back of the table.
We texted to ask about a water source and we were told that there was a water source available. When we got to the venue we asked about the water source and the owner showed the groom's mother to the male restroom and she was offered that water source right next to the urinal. When she said that was not acceptable she was then offered the outside Spicket. If those sources are not acceptable to you make sure to bring in your own water. We wish that information had been made clear to us when we asked.
The flies are terrible. We had family members standing by the dessert table fanning the flies away all night. We should have realized that might be a problem given the indoor/outdoor venue and livestock nearby. But it was definitely not something we considered when booking.
The audio system at the ceremony spot was terrible if you aren’t in the first five rows you won’t hear anything.
There are only 300 chairs so the chairs will be at the ceremony spot and then moved into the venue after the ceremony. Just be aware of that and the fact that your elderly family that is there early will have nowhere to sit in the venue other than on coolers or the floor.
Know when giving a head count to the caterer that you will need to account for the owner, the day or coordinator, and at least two other coordinators that show up for the party. This is something that I have heard from a huge portion of my guests. The coordinators were walking away from the dessert table multiple times with the plates over flowing. This became a huge issue for us and the guests because there wasn’t even enough food to feed the guests that we had.
Do not make the same huge mistake that we made. We took the advice of the owner when booking our caterer. She recommended this certain caterer because she would bring her whole family and they could serve a large group in a short amount of time. This caterer was on the venue “trusted” vendor list and came very highly recommended by the owner. We had met with the caterer in advance and a plan was made and the caterer assured us she could deliver the service. The owner has mentioned multiple times that there could be a language barrier so the groom's father who is fluent in Spanish came to make sure there was not a problem with understanding on either part. We were promised that she would be able to feed 300 people pork and steak tacos until 9:45pm even if they all ate 8 tacos. We were also promised endless chips and salsa. The caterer showed up 1 hour late with only one other person and only pork meat. It took 2 hours to serve the guests that stayed and over 20 of those guests did not get fed. At the most she served 225 people out of the estimated 300 she was to serve. So when booking a trusted vendor do your own research make sure you talk to their past clients and know that they are able to meet your needs.
The food situation ruined the night for us as parents. At the end of the night I was told by the owner how lucky we were that our guests were so gracious. The whole drive home all I could think of was that my guests who drove at least 1 hour should not have had to be gracious and as an owner you should be mortified and offer a sincere apology. After our experience I feel anything but lucky. I feel extremely disappointed and embarrassed. Especially after spending the large amount of money that we did. I’m now faced with the task of making sure we send apology notes to our guests.
