Piney River Ranch

o work with. Piney has a preferred vendor list and let me tell you, the vendors are awesome (trading post productions, cherry bomb events, peak 1 express). Their vendors and piney work so well together it makes planning way less stressful! Day of our wedding was awesome. Of course the stunning views were a highlight but the staff was also great. Monique made sure to personally check in with the guests through out the night. While the road to Piney isn’t for the faint of heart, all of our guests thought it was worth it!

the rain, and a gorgeous sunset against the mountains. Obviously, everyone knows Piney for it's natural beauty. But Brittany and Monique and the rest of the team made our day incredible. Every wedding inevitably has issues that come up, and the measure of success was that every single issue was handled seamlessly and my wife and I had a perfect night with all our friends and family. Also, Piney does require Cowboy Catering for their food service, and working with them was great in the sense that we could request changes to the menu after the tasting. And all the guests kept commenting about how this was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Lastly, we HIGHLY recommend the cabin buyout. All the older adults went back down to their hotels, but all our ~50 friends and cousins stayed in the cabins with us. We had several bonfires, went for a late night dip in the lake, and stayed up the whole night in our PJs having a great time. This was honestly one of the most underrated aspects of Piney.

ing the details, to wedding day, everything was perfect! Brittany and Monique were awesome! Easy to work with, great communication and went above and beyond to make our day as special as it was. Our family and friends all had the best time as well and we even got so many compliments on how wonderful the bartenders and servers were as well. Everyone and everything about PRR is just wonderful. The views, lodge, cabins truly cannot be beat. We will be spending anniversaries here for the rest of our lives. Thank you Piney River Ranch!!!

d so hard to make sure this day was as special as can be for us! Could not recommend PRR enough!

hrough planning. On our wedding day, everyone did an amazing job to make sure everything went smoothly. We also booked out all of the cabins where we enjoyed the fire pits under the beautiful night sky with endless stars above. Overall, we were extremely blessed to have had our wedding in such beautiful mountain setting working with such fantastic people! Many thanks to the entire Piney Team!

ny and Monique for helping us make our dream wedding come true! They were extremely accommodating and wanted the best for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and a better, more beautiful venue!

mmend!!

so many guests comment on how incredible the food was and the bar tenders made delicious drinks too! The best part was being able to walk next door after the wedding ended to the cabins and have a bonfire with our family and friends. I can't recommend this venue enough, it was worth every cent!

. The building itself is an extremely well maintained rustic barn offering space for a covered outdoor cocktail reception with bar, as well as a separate indoor dining space with a bar. If you're looking for a venue with a barn or rustic feel, look no further. Catering is included with the venue fee and it is phenomenal. Piney holds tasting event in the months prior where you are able to taste menu items to help narrow down your choices for your wedding day - we loved everything that was offered we had a hard time choosing our ultimate menu. Piney staff were absolutely top notch as well. Shoshana was incredible both leading up to our big day as well as on our wedding day. We drove to Piney with my husband's parents to show them the venue on an impromptu trip and Shoshana was so helpful and gave us a tour without hesitation. Piney event staff the night of our wedding were professional and helped our guests quickly - I honestly couldn't ask for more. To be transparent, this venue isn't for every wedding though. One of the things I loved the most about this venue is there is a 30-45min dirt road that leads to the venue - no paved, smooth roads. It's bumpy and it's not a perfectly maintained road, but that's the best part. If you book with Piney you also need to book with a transportation company, DO NOT have your guests drive - ESPECIALLY at night/after drinking. The other thing I LOVED about this venue is that there is NO cell service on the road or at the venue. NONE. You and your guests get to be in the moment and present for your wedding - it's amazing. My wedding day was perfect and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. Honestly, this place is magical.

oe and cocktails” for our cocktail hour where our guests could take canoes out on the lake. It was an incredible experience. The coordinators, Brittany and Shoshana, are wonderful to work with. They were responsive and made the day stress free. Couldn’t recommend this venue more.

iews. During our first look it was lightly raining, and by the time our bridal party began walking down the aisle to “here comes the sun” - the clouds opened and the sun came out for the entire ceremony. Our guests could not stop talking about the venue and that moment. My now husband and I will forever be dreaming about this venue and our perfect day. The team, service, ceremony deck, food, canoes, reception space are incredible and capture a true colorado mountain vibe. Our guests commented on how friendly Shoshona and the bartenders were. We also recommend the lodging buyout- you will not regret it. Waking up the AM after with the same view is breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back to Piney for years to come.

ails! We planned this wedding out of state and had absolutely no issues the day of! The views are absolutely breathtaking and all of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Piney River! The food & drinks were also great! Us and our wedding party stayed in the cabins the night of our wedding which I 1000% recommend! Waking up to the mountains and water was so beautiful and something we will always remember! We made some of our favorite memories here at Piney! The road to get there is completely worth it. We cannot wait to come back and stay for a couple of nights! We honestly have nothing but amazing things to say. We had the best wedding ever!

s. Our wedding here blew away any expectations we could have ever possibly imagined. The scenery was phenomenal, so many activities, everyone was mind boggled by how insane this place is. The canoeing after our ceremony with all of our friends was so fun and so unique, and the photographs on the lake were just insane! We also saw moose during sunrise, and a little at dusk - SO COOL!!!! One of my favorite things about this venue is that there is no service, so everyone was forced to be incredibly present for the entire event. We had a small wedding of about 50 people and we all stayed in the cabins after the wedding, which was the BEST - I cannot recommend enough having the entire party stay for the night with all of the fire pits lit, and cabin hopping socials. There are a lot of ppl that complain about the "off roading" to get there and I will definitely argue with that - the dirt road up is really not bad at all, I saw a couple Prius's and regular sedans make it up without any issues. Best day of our lives, nothing could have been more perfect. Perfect is an understatement, I am insanely obsessed. THANK YOU PINEY!!!!!!!!

really made Piney the best though was Shoshana! She is AMAZING! She was always prompt, thorough, and more than accommodating in our communications and planning options. She was an angel the day-of. From the minute we got out of the shuttle to the minute we got back on at the end of the wedding, she made sure that we had everything we needed and were comfortable. She made sure we had drinks and snacks when getting ready at the venue, checked in with us often, and made sure we had food (thank you so much!) from apps and dinner to dessert. She even made us a goodie box of our desserts and cake along with a sweet gift bag and thank you card. Our wedding day experience was totally awesome thanks to her!

rk with. On the day of they were there and so helpful as well. Couldn’t recommend Piney River and their team more!

going back next summer to visit. Some older guests did have trouble getting past the road up, but they were also all out of state (midwesterners not used to mountain roads). Piney and the entire staff was so easy to work with and they were determined to help our vision come to life. If you want the wedding of your DREAMS with the most stunning photos and memories, Piney is your place. There’s no other place like it on earth. It now holds an even more special place in our hearts and we can wait to come back and bring our future children back one day. I will forever love and rave about Piney River Ranch🌲🛶♥️🙌🏻😍

d not disappoint! It was such a breathtakingly gorgeous venue without even a stitch of décor. However, when you add in all the details you are truly able to transform the space into your wildest dreams. The staff was truly incredible. One server noticed that my mom was obsessed with out of the appetizers and constantly came back to serve her when she received a fresh plate. She was very appreciative. :) Although the communication is difficult due to lack of service and location of the venue, everything went so smoothly and we were in constant connection with Brittany and the staff. They helped answer all our questions and coordinated with all of our vendors. We even rented out the lodging for the night and continue to party until the early hours of the morning. It was truly a dream and Piney River Ranch made our dream wedding a reality.

the food to the views.

azing, welcoming and kind staff who will be there every step of the way to assist you with every detail of your wedding. The outstanding food that your guests will actually remember. The immaculate ceremony, reception and getting ready spaces that are always clean, organized, and set up exactly how you want them to be. The optional lodging on site for the coolest after party experience. As a wedding planner who has hundreds of weddings under my belt... Piney is hands down my favorite venue. I couldn't recommend it more!

food was great as well as the service. Brittany and Shosana were great to work with and put up with us for 2 years since our wedding needed postponed. Our wedding party stayed at the venue the night of, and it was so special waking up there in the morning to such stunning and peaceful views. It truly is a magical place - can’t recommend enough.

an I ever could have dreamed of and we owe alot of that to not only this perfect venue but to the most beautiful staff. From the very beginning of planning, we felt right at home. They guided us, answered all of our questions, and worked around our schedule for our tasting and walk through. As stressful as planning can be, I truly felt so at peace working with everyone. Fast forward to the day of and that just really sealed the deal for us. Everything was perfect. From our food, our ideas and visions executed even more beautifully than I imagined, and the attentiveness to my husband and I so we could truly enjoy the day. It meant everything to us. They didn't miss a single thing. From the bartendars, the staff working at the gift store, everyone who helped set up, you couldn't ask for more positive, happy people. We would especially like to thank Brittany and Shoshana who are absolute angels from above. We couldn't imagine the day without them and we are so grateful to know them. Piney River Ranch and the staff will forever have a special place in our hearts. We are forever grateful. If you want to have the most magical wedding that you will never forget, Piney River Ranch is it. From the views, the moutanins, the water, the moose, the food, the never ending champagne, getting to take the canoe out to take pictures, and the most beautiful staff - it is truly heaven on earth.

even seem real. I can’t even begin to explain how amazing the wedding pictures turned out. It was worth every penny. I would 150% recommend getting married here! We are already planning to go back for a visit and hike! Thank you Piney River Ranch for a magical day!

e us the wedding of our dreams. Piney River checked ALL of those boxes. We got engaged in the winter and I knew that I was going to have to get a venue ASAP if I wanted a summer wedding in the mountains. When I found Piney, they weren't going to be open until June because of the snow, so I had to decide if I wanted to take the chance and sign a contract for a venue I couldn't see in person and that had only a few reviews on line. BEST DECISION EVER!!! The views are incredible, the food was AMAZING, and the venue was sooooooo flexible when it came to covid and us having to push our wedding out a year. Our guests continue to rave about how special our wedding was. The only thing that really sucked was having to pay for transportation up the mountain (its EXPENSIVE!!) but we did cost comparison for easier to get to mountain venues and it ended up being a wash because of how affordable Piney's catering is. If we had to do it all over again, I would pick Piney River Ranch over and over and over again.

g pavilions for the ultimate mountain ambience. Do not be surprised if you get the extra treat of wildlife showing up for your big day like we did...I mean where else would a bald eagle just hang out to join the party?! Brittany and Shoshana were a pleasure to work with before the wedding and helped make sure our event was seamless the day of! Finally, Cowboy Catering crushed it with their food. Every single one of our guests commented on how delicious the meal was and raved about the appetizers. Do not let the drive up there scare you from having your wedding at Piney! All of our guests thought the bumpy ride up was worth the experience. Honestly, we are so pleased we had a wedding at Piney that I cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

it. Brittany and Shoshana are the best to work with! They were very responsive and accommodating throughout our entire wedding planning process. Especially on the day of our wedding they made it stress free and we’re very flexible. We can’t wait to come back and visit for anniversaries!

what we were looking for. Brittany was easy to work and communicate with, answering all of our questions as we navigated a 2021 wedding and the challenges associated with it. Piney and their caterer Cowboy Catering provided an opportunity to see and taste all menu options prior to the wedding. We and all of our guests agreed the food was fantastic. On the day of the wedding Piney's staff worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to ensure all logistics went off without a hitch, despite the weather. We highly recommend considering Piney for your future wedding!

d around Colorado, Piney is among the best of the best! The views are epic, and so is the staff! They are incredible helpful on not only the pre-planning, but then also on the day of. I highly recommend this venue and look forward to coming back again soon!

event there a breeze. As a wedding planner it is always so nice to work with stellar venue staff! Highly Recommend.

ny is amazing, she helped us through everything. It was really special and we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity of getting married there.

views (they’re gorgeous) but got so much more. Everything from the food to the drinks was incredible, and our guests agreed! The staff was timely in responses to questions, and the day of, multiple staff members took such good care of me and my girls! They made sure we had what we needed and felt special. Everything from start to finish ran seamlessly, and we have Brittany to thank for that! Piney made our day so special, and we left feeling like we’d made friends during the process. If you want a wedding that your guests will talk about for years to come, you need to book at Piney!

estion we had and in such a timely manner. We are so thankful for her and would get married at Piney a million times over just because of how wonderful she made the entire wedding planning process. It was smooth and easy and we never had to stress for a second. The view at Piney speaks for itself but the service is what really sealed the deal for us. The food was incredible. All of our guests have commented about how amazing it really was. Our guests have also all commented about how magical our wedding day was and it is all thanks to Piney and Brittany for making it such an amazing day. We planned this entire thing from Florida during Covid and did not get to do a site tour until 3 days before and we couldn't make the food tasting but none of that mattered on the actual day. It went so smoothly and Brittany was such a huge help. We can't thank you enough for helping us have the best day of our lives. Anyone who is considering getting married at Piney, DO IT! we promise you will not regret it.

not enough words to express the incredible experience that we had with this amazing team. Monique was our point of contact the day before and on the Day Of the Wedding. She was simply incredible. As we planned the Event in a short time frame in the midst of COVID-19, there were many unusual circumstances that surrounded this intimate affair. Monique and her amazing staff went above and beyond at every turn. They were friendly, accommodating, thorough and simply a joy to work with on the Big Day. We can't wait to work together with them again soon!

r us, and could not have asked for anything more perfect!!

o happy we found this venue and wish we could get married every summer there!

ig day. They were very responsive and so helpful in explaining all of the details of the event and keeping us on track with everything we needed to do to prepare. On our wedding day, everything at Piney was absolutely seamless and well organized. The food was amazing and the staff were great! We cannot wait to visit again for our anniversary. If you want the most amazing mountain wedding - Piney is your place!!!!

esire. Thanks to Brittany and Monique (and all the staff) our day went extremely smoothly. They both are so easy to communicate with, informative and very helpful throughout the entire process. Also the caterer, Cowboy Catering, was wonderful and all his food was delicious! Would never have wanted to have our wedding at any other location!

searching online, and knew it was something special. Everyone that we interacted with was amazing, especially Brittany! There isn't a more picturesque place to share your big day. We absolutely love Piney, the people, and would 10/10 recommend to anyone inquiring. Our day was perfect, and we are going to make the trip to PRR an annual one.

ng process, Monique and Brittany were easy to work with. They were quick to respond and worked well with any questions or requests we had. We were unable to make it to the tasting but it wasn’t a big deal to us. The food was fresh and amazing! The on-site bride and groom suites for getting ready were perfect and made getting ready go smoothly. The venue, the staff, the atmosphere all deserve 5-stars. Mountains, a lake, no service; what more could you ask for?!

r guests away and we all had an amazing time in the mountains. You can’t beat these views plus the team that works at Piney is extremely helpful and kind. For being almost an hour down a dirt road, the food is delicious and the bartenders were a blast. Thanks for everything Brittany and team, you helped make our wedding day a dream come true!

aff(Brittany and Monique) absolutely a pleasure, and I can’t say enough about how magical of a location this venue is in. We are very outdoors oriented people and loved the idea of staying in cabins with all of our closest friends in the middle of eagles nest wilderness. We rented all of the lodging. The venue is difficult to get to and required hiring transportation for any guests returning to Vail. In addition, we don’t recommend having cake or any florals delivered to the venue due to high additional transportation costs. We ended up with a donut bar and had our flowers delivered to our hotel the morning of the wedding. Finally, I would highly recommend hiring April Arnold from April Marie events. Our wedding coordinator made our day perfect, and without any prior experience at our venue.

of the staff went above and beyond at every point. The food, views, cabins were all amazing and our guests keep talking about how beautiful it was, how it was the best wedding food they have had, and how kind and amazing every staff member was! Thank you, Brittany and Monique, for making our day wonderful!

am are. With their guidance, our wedding (and night - we did the lodging buyout with all our friends and had a big campfire that night!) was exactly as we had hoped, and more. From the food, to the setting, to the staff, and the facilities, we continue to receive compliments about how amazing our wedding was!

d such an amazing time and could not get enough of the breathtaking views. On top of the views, the food is amazing too. This venue was everything that we dreamed of and more!
