My wife and I were just married at this venue last month, and we feel so lucky to have found them and their team. We knew we'd be surrounded by great views and a convenient location, but it was Sanctuary's entire team that went above and beyond. From the first tour to a...
ll of our planning sessions with Julie - who was impressively thorough, organized, collaborative and accommodating - to the day-of service that impressed all of our guests, Sanctuary goes out of their way to cultivate a stellar experience. For the couple and the guests, every aspect of the wedding and planning feels designed to go as smoothly as possible. They know what they're doing!
Other things that we were especially impressed by: the food was amazing, which is one of the reasons we booked with them. We're glad to report that they lived up to expectations - we still have guests sending us pictures of steaks, telling us "not as good as Sanctuary's." The Pavilion is such a unique and visually interesting space that makes for a fun dance party.
We could gush for hours about how positive our experience was, so suffice it to say Sanctuary comes highly recommended. Again, a special shoutout to Julie for shepherding us through!

Chelsea and the entire team at the Sanctuary were nothing short of perfection. I was planning a wedding out of state and having Chelsea was a life saver. They helped with everything from linens, table cloth to timeline and coordination with all other vendors. They gave ...
great recommendations for other vendors which helped my planning process being out of state. She was always quick to respond to any emails or questions we had. On our wedding day they helped set everything up so we had nothing to worry about. The food is amazing. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it a month later. And of course you can’t beat the scenery and views. If you want a stress free wedding with a true luxury feel I highly recommend the Sanctuary. We cannot thank everyone here enough for making our day perfect!

Their recommended vendor list was amazing - we chose all of our vendors based on this list and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Every vendor was so easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, super professional and I loved working with every one of them.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I truly believe you can't go wrong if you are at this venue.

c. She was so on top of everything, so helpful, always available. They were very flexible with our decor, and they truly were the best. The staff was amazing and so kind to us. We had a Lord of the Rings inspired wedding as well, and the staff seemed to love it and fit in as a guest! I loved this place and would do it there over and over. The reception was gorgeous. If it rained, snowed, etx, it was still in a great spot to not have that cramp the style! The food was delicious. The ceremony was beautiful and many guests told us it was the most beautiful and genuine they had been too. Overall, ZERO complaints. I love Sanctuary.

From start to finish, working with Sanctuary was an extremely professional and seamless experience. From our initial tour with Tamara, to working with Chelsea, our coordinator, it was apparent that Sanctuary has a lot of experience in running weddings and events.
They...
provided a list of recommended vendors who they've worked with before which was very helpful for planning out of state. We were able to find great local vendors who both fit our style and knew how to make the most of the venue. Sanctuary is also extremely flexible in helping to accommodate our specific personal touches and making the day our own.
Most importantly, the food here is excellent. There are a wide variety of options and the venue is extremely flexible in accommodating various dietary restrictions.
We could not recommend Sanctuary more highly.

he kept us all on track and took care of anything that popped up on our day. To say that she is the best at her job is a gross understatement. She was extremely responsive in answering the plethora of questions my husband and I had prior to our wedding and accommodated any special requests that we needed.
We were so impressed by all of the Sanctuary’s staff members. A special shout out to Sarah who soothed our 3-year-old ring bearer when he was having a meltdown prior to walking down the aisle. She is a child whisperer. Everyone’s service and positivity throughout the night was extremely professional and very much appreciated. We received so many compliments from our guests about the 5-star service and the amazing food! The food at both our cocktail hour and dinner was fantastic!
We cannot recommend this venue enough! You will be well taken care of and feel like a part of the Sanctuary family before your wedding is over.

Overall, just gorgeous and was the best decision we made.

everything from the setup to the food was above and beyond! We had the pleasure of working with Julie Gambrell as our coordinator. She is amazing with her attention to detail and stayed right on schedule throughout our wedding day making sure everything went smoothly. Our guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and how it encapsulated the perfect “Colorado” wedding venue with the majestic mountains as your backdrop without having to drive 2 hours up to the mountains! We HIGHLY recommend it as your future wedding venue and I guarantee with Sanctuary Golf Course you will be in the best of hands.

ape to incredible mountain range views. The other thing I loved about it was that I could have an outdoor ceremony without stressing about the weather. Our ceremony was held under their beautiful covered pavilion with the mountains as the backdrop which was then repurposed later in the evening to dance the night away. Such a unique space and it was the perfect setting for both the ceremony and the dancing. The other thing I must mention is the food. The food is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. So many of our guests reached backed out to us after our wedding to tell us how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was. Lastly, the service was top notch. The servers were amazing and we loved getting to work with Chelsea and her team to help us create the most memorable night. She was so wonderful to work with and she was always so quick to respond to our many emails which we also appreciated! Choose this venue for your wedding, you won't regret it!

We could not have asked for a better venue to have our wedding ceremony and reception. We worked with Julie Gambrell as our coordinator and she was phenomenally organized, responsive, and offered advice on what she's seen other couples do etc. throughout the whole proce...
ss. The day of the wedding went incredibly smooth thanks to her, more so than weddings I have been a part of in the past. We received amazing reviews from guests on the quality of the food, attentiveness of the entire staff, and just the location in general. Our guests got amazing photos and they were able to feel like they were in the mountains without being too far from the city. If you are worried about weather, the ceremony and dance floor takes place in the covered gazebo, and that was a huge selling point for us since you can never predict Colorado weather. We ended up with a perfect day, but the next week was rainy, but we would have been fine either way. I can't recommend this venue enough!

a venue coordinator. We were lucky enough to be paired with Chelsea, who was truly our biggest cheerleader during the planning process. We were planning from out of state, and her flexibility and patience through time changes, food tastings, and even the final walkthrough took so much stress off of our plates. She was always available to chat and was very easy to get ahold of via email. Our day went down as smooth as possible, and Chelsea was with us the whole time (even shedding a tear with us as we admired the day we had). Additionally, Sanctuary provides you with basic linens, chairs, tables, silverware, and food/bar are all in house, taking off a load of stressors. We could not be happier with our wedding day and cannot wait to go back someday soon. Thank you Sanctuary for hosting our perfect day!

The service was also top notch, they had servers ready to attend to us at any moment for any reason and were all so very kind and professional. Even with a small hiccup with one of the other vendors we worked with, Chelsea was able to handle it so we didn't have to sweat a single thing! This venue has the BEST VIEWS of the mountain range as well as their course, and the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking! All of our guests kept commenting on how amazing this venue is - the waterfall alone is worth it! We cannot recommend Sanctuary enough, even being a COVID couple they were very willing and helpful working with us on rescheduling which cannot be said for many venues. If you haven't booked this place already - what are you waiting for?!

I recently had my wedding at the Sanctuary this past July. I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough. This place is just magical and blew every expectation we had for our wedding day out of the water. Everything about this venue is so pristine- to the service to the ...
stunning natural beauty, we were and still are in awe of The Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is so unique in that you can have your ceremony outside in the covered pavilion that frames Pike's Peak where you don't have to worry about Colorado's infamous late afternoon storms. Your guests then move to the breathtaking terrace overlooking the Rocky Mountains. Dinner is served inside the classic, stunning clubhouse, and then we opted to have our dance back outside under the stone pavilion. We had such a wonderful experience working with Julie as our wedding coordinator. She was so on top of everything that we didn't have to worry one bit leading up to our special day. We even had a chance to meet the General Manager, Rudy Zupetz, who was also so helpful and amazing. The staff that they have trained here are all just incredible and go over the top to make sure everyone is having an exceptional time. The next day, my husband and I tried to think of anything that went wrong and we couldn't think of a thing- it was perfect. This venue takes care of it all for you. The compliments we received on the food , service, and overall ambiance of the venue were countless. So many people told us that our wedding was like a fairytale and I 100% can say it was because of The Sanctuary. At the end of the night, my friends, family, and I didn't want to leave because it's just such an incredible place! Trust me when I say you can not go wrong with booking this wedding venue. It is hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey.

or ceremony and centerpiece florals, we didn't need to even consider other decorations. The food is incredible, and the chef was happy to create custom items for us. As an out of town couple planning our wedding during the pandemic, the flexibility provided by the venue and staff was so reassuring. They helped us to schedule our site visits/tastings to coincide with our travel plans, and it really made no difference whether we were planning from across the country or down the street. Chelsea was our day-of contact, and even though she had multiple weddings each week once Covid-19 restrictions started lifting, she made us feel like ours was the only event she had on her plate. If there were any issues, we never even knew! Our wedding felt so luxe and exclusive, but it was honestly way more affordable than other venues we looked at when you looked at catering/decorations needed for other locations. Go with Sanctuary, you will love it!

at Sanctuary made everything flow so well. Steffany and Dani were so great to work with, and they truly care about making everything perfect for you. They were very responsive and took the time to get to know us, and made things so easy for us the day of. Their support staff also did a great job of getting everything our timely, and making sure all our decorations were placed correctly.
Lastly, the food was AMAZING. People have not stopped talking about our hors d’oeurves since the wedding. They do a great job at your tasting of letting you try multiple options, which turned out perfect for us.

The preparation meetings we had ensured every detail was accounted for and staff the day of event were all amazing, helping pack things, load our car and make sure we didn’t have to stress about a thing. The price for The Sanctuary is very comparable to other rustic venues we looked at but you cannot beat the beauty of this venue. The outdoor pavilion takes your breath away day and night and the mountain views and sunsets are absolutely stunning. Our guests all loved the venue, food and event overall and we honestly wish we could throw a wedding there every year. We highly recommend them.

the cost of the venue. We couldn’t believe that we got a “built-in” wedding planner, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Steffany! She was incredible throughout the entire process and made sure every little detail was perfect.
The entire staff is personable, professional, and so easy to work with. They made sure everything ran smoothly for the tasting, meetings, and the actual event. The food was incredible, and the chef personally came and talked to us during the tasting to ensure everything was up to par.
My husband and I were completely blown away, and our guests were blown away too! Don’t look anywhere else – Sanctuary is the real deal.

The perception around the Sanctuary is that it is extremely expensive and exclusive given the private nature of the golf course. After touring and researching other venues around Colorado, we realized it was right in line with similar venues. We do not regret one thing ...
about having our wedding at The Sanctuary. We dealt directly with Steffany while planning and on the day of our wedding. Steffany and her team were so well organized and precise that everything went off without a hitch. We chose to do a buffet at our wedding, and the food was hot, served timely and absolutely to die for!!! high recommend the Sanctuary for both a ceremony and reception!

Getting married at the Sanctuary was an absolute dream. From start to finish, their staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. Dani was an awesome coordinator and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything the day-of. The venue itself is incredible and...
many guests commented it was the best venue they’d ever been to for a wedding. Don’t look anywhere else - this is the best venue in the Denver area! We looked at about 20 others and the Sanctuary won out by far.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Sanctuary and it was amazing! The flowers and views were so beautiful. The food was very good and they were flexible about us mixing and matching different items from different menus. Dani was the event coordinator and she was great. S...

I would give the Sanctuary 1,000 stars if I could. From the very first time we stepped foot on to the property, we had an amazing experience. Steffany, our wedding coordinator, was the BEST! She made everything so smooth, from the planning through the wedding! I couldn’...

The Sanctuary exceeded our expectations in every way and made our daughter’s wedding day a beautiful, special memory we will always cherish. The staff is very professional to work with from the time the wedding date is booked. Email communications is preferred to ask ...
questions and get help with wedding planning. Steffany, our event manager, has a lot of good experience in running a wedding event at the Sanctuary. She is easy to work with, punctual in responding to questions via email, and follows through with every aspect of the plans made, as well as runs a seamless wedding and reception experience with all her good coordination of their excellent staff. We used the Sanctuary’s referrals for our florist, DJ, and photographer which were all excellent. The vendors they recommend have worked at the Sanctuary and know how to allocate their time well and get the most out of the venue. They were also enjoyable to work with. Our guests were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Sanctuary, and we heard from several people it was the best wedding food they ever had and the best wedding they ever attended. Overall our experience with the Sanctuary was exceptional and without hesitation I would highly recommend them.

The pictures for this venue do not do it justice, it is ten times more beautiful in person! Every one of our out of town guests fell in love and could not stop raving about how worth it the travel was! (It was an easy drive, or train, from the Denver airport) I loved th...
at on the day of our wedding we had the entire venue to ourselves, it made for an intimate vibe with all of our loved ones without leaving us feeling confined to a small space. There are a lot of beautiful places to walk around and explore on the property!
If you are a flower lover then you are in luck!!! That was a HUGE thing on my check list and they did not disappoint- dahlia blooms the size of my face, everywhere!! This Texas girl was impressed! You definitely don’t need to splurge for extra floral if you don’t want too between the generously placed flower pots and the natural view! Pair it all with the included up lighting in the pavilion and it makes for a magical evening dancing in the mountains! Don’t forget to ask for the s’mores, it’s worth it to sit by the fire pit at the end of the night!
The staff here is amazing, everyone worked as one big cohesive team to make sure that every guests needs were being met! We had a sit down dinner (which I highly recommend, because the Lamb was amazing!) and the staff did an amazing job with making sure everyone got served the correct meal and that their glasses were never empty (which is always an important thing to do around speech time!) I am a picky vegetarian and the chef worked with me to create a custom meal to make sure I would be fed and happy on my wedding day! As a foodie, I really appreciated that- most places would just offer up a salad.
Lastly, I had the pleasure of working with Steffany as our day of coordinator (and leading up to the wedding). She was beyond amazing and always answered me in a timely manor! She was the only reason our wedding got planned from start to finish so seamlessly. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she proves that with how seriously she takes her role. At the rehearsal she will make sure she is clear about the expectations of the wedding party and will gently remind them of why they are standing up there with you that day, which was nice because it added another layer of importance to their roles and left no room for confusion or discomfort on the day of. Our wedding procession went off flawlessly and our pictures came out amazing because she had even reminded everyone to stand the same way! On the day of my actual wedding I was not nervous at all because I was able to have full faith and confidence in her!
Overall, everything about this venue and our experience was amazing and we would recommend it every single time!! Thank y’all again so much for everything, truly y’all made a mark on our lives- we will be back to visit for anniversaries for sure!

We got married at the Sanctuary in July 2019 and could not be happier with our experience from start to finish. During the planning leading up to the wedding, Dani was communicative and always on top of it even though she was assigned to our wedding later on in the proc...
ess. Especially the week leading up to our wedding, she communicated with our vendors, provided us with necessary details and was overall a warm and welcoming presence. The Sanctuary itself is stunning, providing a mountain feel without going too far from Denver. The Day of our wedding we had some weather-related complications and Dani and her entire staff handled it all with ease, allowing us to truly enjoy our special day. The food is incredible. We were very happy with our experience and wouldn't change a thing with the Sanctuary or its staff.

ersonally worked with their planner, Dani, and she is the best at what she does. She made sure everything went according to plan and on schedule. Most people say things will go wrong at your wedding, but with Dani and the great Sanctuary staff, nothing went wrong and our wedding was simply perfect. The views are pretty hard to beat as well.

We could not have been more pleased with everything Steffany and her team did to make our day so special. We were completely blown away by the attention to detail and level of service provided. Working with Steffany has been such a wonderful experience. We knew from day...
one we could count on her for her honest opinions, prompt responses, thoroughness, and overall professionalism.
Throughout our wedding planning experience we have met with good and not so good vendors, and Steffany and the Sanctuary have blown them all out of the water. I am forever grateful for everything the team did to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, fun experience both with the planning and the actual wedding day/night. Steffany was there to calm me down during the stress of the First Look when our guests arrived early and we had to adjust the location of our photos to prevent guests from seeing me before the ceremony.
Our guests are still raving about the food, scenery, service, and overall amazing experience they had at the Sanctuary. I've been told by many family members that ours was the best wedding they have been to (which says A LOT because our family throws large, extravagant weddings pretty often)!
I highly recommend the Sanctuary for your wedding in Colorado. I cannot say enough about the amazing food, service, attention to detail, and customization they offered for us. We even had the chef make an amazing batch of Gumbo, which received the highest praises from our New Orleans guests (including myself- the Bride). We were also able to customize the reception to be a Southern-style event with food stations rather than a sit-down meal. Every detail was planned and followed to the "t" and we will forever be grateful to Steffany and her team.

If you're looking for a wedding venue and the Sanctuary Golf Course is one of the options on your list, stop looking and book with this venue. The level of quality and service this venue provides will exceed your expectations. Our wedding was so breathtaking and perfect...
. Our guests were blown away and most importantly, my groom and I had an unforgettable evening. If food is your thing, you wont be disappointed. If you care about views, they are perfection. If you're focused on service, this team does everything they can to create your dream evening. I know everyone who works at the Sanctuary is on top of it; however, we worked with Danielle and let me tell you...she is a rock star.

Everything about our wedding at Sanctuary was perfection. Steffany was a DREAM to work with...incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and just an all-out great person to bounce ideas off. With her on our "team" the planning process was cake and I'd do it again a million ...
times.
Sanctuary as a venue is stunning and unlike anything else. It is elegant, but feels "Colorado". The views are unlike anything else you'll see (even our cloudy, rainy day had epic views), the food and service are top-notch. Our guests have described our wedding as anything from "stunning" to "the most classy, sophisticated wedding possible" to "epic" to "the best wedding I've ever been to". You'll not regret hosting a wedding at Sanctuary.

Words truly cannot describe how amazing this venue and staff is. We had a very stressful planning process where our original venue fell through six months before our date and now we are SOO happy it happened that way because that's how we found The Sanctuary. Dani and t...
he entire staff made the planning process stress free. They are extremely quick to respond, will provide guidance when asked and are so knowledgeable. The venue its self is breathtaking in any weather and we loved that you get the entire place to yourself, there aren't any other events or golfers there for your big day. Dani was amazing running the rehearsal and the wedding. I was prepared for something to go wrong and to just roll with it because that's what everyone warns you about for your wedding day... truly nothing went wrong, at all. Literally everything was perfect thanks to the staff at The Sanctuary. Would HIGHLY recommend this venue!

This venue - and our coordinator Steffany - exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Steffany was so professional and timely with everything. I was in the middle of switching jobs while wedding planning so life was very hectic for me and Steffany was such a gem ...
to work with. She always responded quickly to emails and was very organized. She was friendly and great in working with our parents, too, which was a plus. The venue is gorgeous and I was struck by how smoothly everything went! It's clear the Sanctuary staff know what they're doing. The staff would check in with my husband and I throughout the night to see if we needed anything which was SO nice. We were taken care of. In the stress of wedding planning, the venue and your day-of coordinator are the foundation on which you build everything. We were so fortunate to have chosen Sanctuary. We have only wonderful things to say from our experience with them.

venue coordinators/event coordinators, who was so incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She was able to answer all of our questions and then some throughout the whole year of planning. The food is delicious, the venue is so beautiful and convenient to Denver while still having amazing mountain views, and the staff is exceptional. We feel so lucky that we got to get married here… HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We cannot begin to describe how beautiful this venue is, nor how professional, helpful and attentive our day-of coordinator (Brooke) and the whole staff were throughout this whole process. From our first meeting and walk-through, to the rehearsal, to the big day itself,...
Brooke ensured that no detail was overlooked, and that everything was in order and to our liking. We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Brooke, and couldn't have imagined a more beautiful place to tie the knot. The exposed stone structures, as well as the gorgeous mountains and golf course back drop, made for incredible in-person experience and photos (from our professional photographer and even guest photos). We are still hearing from our guests how beautiful the whole evening was. It was a magical day, and that is largely in part to the gorgeous venue and the incredible team who made our vision a reality.

Many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was, how great the food was and complimented the service. We could not have picked a better venue! Thank you Steffany and the entire Sanctuary team, you're simply amazing!
