Spruce Mountain Ranch was the absolute perfect venue. The upper ranch and the Ponderosa room were spacious, warm and welcoming - perfect for our 150 person wedding. The option of the Aspen room for inclement weather ended up being the perfect back up option with the garage door wedding when there was unexpected early snow. The ability to allow animals on site (beverage donkeys and our dog) made our day even more special. Our coordinator Brus had clear and timely communication and we appreciated her help throughout the process. We couldn't recommend this venue more for your wedding day. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

We had a wonderful experience working with Brus and the full Spruce Mountain team. They think of everything when it comes to logistics, and we didn't have to worry about a thing from the moment we showed up on wedding day until the end of the night.
Our experience touring the venue a year and a half ago, coming back for the Wine & Nosh event, and doing our 30 day walk through all made the planning process so smooth and exciting for us and our families. The multiple ceremony locations are all gorgeous, and we were thrilled to be able to get married mountainside with the natural beauty of Colorado in the background. Our guests loved cocktail hour and the indoor/outdoor dinner & dancing set up. Spruce is truly a 5 star wedding venue because of its natural beauty and the organization/care the team takes in scoping out all the details, like 2 beautiful getting ready suites for the bridesmaids & groomsmen, shuttles to take guests up mountainside, and open air string lights for late night dancing. Spruce is also a popular spot that many of our vendors were familiar with, which made logistics even smoother since our bartenders, caterer, DJ, planner, and florist had all done multiple weddings at Spruce before and had great recommendations on what could work well with our vision.
We hope to come back for future events and are so happy to have gotten married at Spruce!

We knew Spruce Mountain was our dream venue the moment we parked our car for our tour. Tara and her team were such a dream to work with from the very beginning. We were married at Grace’s Chapel 9.6.24 and it was everything we could have imagined. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beauty of the venue. We had such an an amazing time. Thank you Spruce Mountain for making our dreams come true!

Spruce Mountain Ranch was perfect for our 9/21/24 wedding! The staff was incredible during the planning and execution of our day! Brus Osborne was amazing to work with from our initial tour in 2022 all the way through our wedding day. Emily Wanderscheid was awesome the day of our event, so kind and helpful! The venue is so beautiful, most of our guests were from out of state and loved the venue. My husband and I truly had the best day of our lives and we are forever thankful for choosing and trusting Spruce Mountain Ranch with the most important day of our lives!

Beautiful venue! We had an amazing wedding here and everyone was super great including all the additional vendors we used. I was so happy when we found this place and the day was 100% perfect.
However I do have something I would "caution". When we originally did our tour we were a little hesitant due to the cost for one day. Our tour guide the day of I feel like mislead us a little bit regarding the costs outside just the venue. For example, this venue will ONLY let you use their approved list of vendors. When we finished the tour and were talking about their vendors we looked at bar and catering, our tour guide pulled up the bar and told us that if we did open bar with bottom shelf we would only be paying $,1,100-1,200....we ended up paying $1,900 for 52 guest. Same issue with catering, all of their caters START at $4,000 and we only had a guest count of 65-70 guest to start with, by them time we got final numbers in we paid about $4,800 but that's because our total dropped to 52 guest total. This was a buffet styler street taco bar, not a plated dinner.
They also will require you to have a licensed day of coordinator, and you have to get property insurance. (not a big deal and is pretty normal, the insurance is $250 if I remember correctly)
The service from the vendors and the venue was great, Tara was fantastic to work with and responded with 24 hours of reaching out, however keep your budget in mind because we paid $8,000 for day of (married on a Wednesday).
$250 for insurance
$1,900 for bar
$4,800 for catering

Kalleigh, Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you!
I do agre...
e that it is important for all couples to first consider their budget before moving forward not only with booking a venue, but planning a wedding in general. As stated in our Blog, “Your Engaged! Steps to planning your Spruce Mountain Wedding” https://sprucemountainevents.com/blog/post/your-engaged-steps-planning-your-spruce-mountain-wedding we recommend the first step in planning, is putting together your budget. We do our best to be completely transparent of the costs involved in planning a wedding, as many couples have never planned for such a large event.
On our website, we have a Budget Guide, and have written many blogs to assist in creating a realistic wedding budget. Here are those links.
https://sprucemountainevents.com/blog/post/9-tips-weddings-budget ; https://sprucemountainevents.com/blog/post/true-cost-colorado-wedding; https://sprucemountainevents.com/flipbook/index.html
In regards to vendors, we only require that you use 1 of our 11 caterers, Event Rents for your rentals, and Peak Beverage for your bar. This is to assure quality control for our clients. On our catering list, we have caterers that are well trained at our venue, have a proven track record, and treat our clients with the level of service we require. We have also made sure that we have caterers that will meet a low, mid, and high budget, to meet all of our client’s needs.
Peak Beverage is the least expensive option we have found in Colorado for bar services. Spruce Mountain does not mark up the costs and instead passes those savings to our clients. In comparison, Peak Beverage is almost ½ the cost of what a venue with a liquor license charges. We also love Peak Beverage because they provide a safe bar experience. They carry liability insurance for our clients and have highly trained bartenders that know not to overserve.
All other vendors such as florists, cake, DJ, photographers, and so on, we allow our clients to select who they would like, as long as they are licensed and insured. Spruce Mountain also works with each couple to customize vendor lists to best fit their budget and needs. We want every couple at Spruce Mountain to have their dream wedding and we are here to help support them throughout the entire planning process. Our motto at Spruce Mountain is delivering “service from the heart.”
To protect our clients, as many good venues will do, will require Event Insurance. Again, many couples do not understand the liability involved in hosting an event such as a wedding. We want to make sure our brides and grooms are protected in the event that one of their guests get hurt etc. The cost in minimal, but offers great protection for the host and hostess of an event.
Kalleigh, we wish you and Andrew the very best and happiest life together. It was our honor and privilege to have your special day celebrated at Spruce Mountain!
Warmly, Tara

Spruce Mountain was the first venue we looked at and it immediately felt like the one. The property was breathtaking in mid-February so I knew it had to be even more stunning in the warmer months when we wanted to get married. We went with the lower ranch which felt like a dreamy, woodsy fairy land and it also felt intimate and flowed nicely for our guests. Something about the natural and cozy vibe of the venue made me feel so relaxed on my wedding day. Aside from the beauty of the venue, Spruce was very easy to work with. I sent our representative Tara tons of emails and questions throughout the year long planning process and she always responded so quickly and was helpful in problem solving. Our property manager Emily was also amazing on the day of. Spruce has a set list of caterers which were all so good it was hard to choose! We went with Occasions. Other vendors were: Indy Pop Photo, Lil Bug Floral, Karis Ranta for wedding planning, Peak Beverage, Diamond Empire Band, Arrow Stagelines, Forever Party Bus, Event Rents, Hipstr photobooth, and Kim J Beauty. All of our vendors had worked at Spruce previously and knew the lay of the land which made everything flow seamlessly on the day. We also rented the Estate House which is offered to Spruce Mountain couples and this was a great experience and so convenient and close by. I can’t imagine our wedding having been anywhere else and will forever relish in the memory of getting married on the most beautiful ranch in Colorado.

We got married at the lower ranch in July 2024. The day we toured Spruce Mountain, we knew immediately that it’s where we wanted to get married. Not only is the ranch absolutely STUNNING, but the staff is so friendly, available, and accommodating. They really do make the whole process feel special. On our wedding day, we received SO many compliments on our venue and how beautiful it was. The staff did an excellent job of helping out throughout the day, the venue was in perfect condition and we had the most magical day. Cannot recommend this venue enough!!

Absolutely worth everything. Our ceremony was at the mountain side and the reception was at Albert’s lodge. We booked 1.5 years in advance to get a June weekend, as It’s a popular place and month. The staff was amazing and we didn’t have to lift a finger! We picked majority of the vendors that they work with, which made everything easier during the planning process. It’s a beautiful venue and we highly recommend it. We had the venue from 1pm to 11pm which is pretty standard. They provide you with a guidebook to help you with timeline, blue prints and everything you could possibly think of. We also enjoyed staying two nights at the estate house which is a mile up the road. It was great for the whole wedding party and some family to spend time together.

We host our Wine & Nosh Couture Bridal Show every year at Spruce Mountain Ranch and can't think of a more perfect venue space. When driving in to the ranch, the grounds are beautiful to both venue locations. The staff is wonderful and willing to help with any set up and coordination of the day. Guests are able to tour the property on this day and see how truly magical it is. I would highly recommend Spruce Mountain Ranch as your wedding/event venue. Their customer service is outstanding and makes you feel like the ranch is yours for the day.

Without question, Spruce Mountain Ranch is on our top list of Colorado Wedding and Event Venues!
As a floral and décor company, who has had the pleasure of partnering with Spruce Mountain Ranch on countless events over the past decade, our experience has always been amazing.
When working with the venue’s team it is absolutely apparent, they cultivate hospitality at its finest.
They truly have a passion to create beautiful, meaningful experiences for its’ clients with a goal in creating “A Day to Remember”!
They are committed to exceeding expectations and are dedicated to creating a stress-free, smooth and seamless event, both for their clients and vendors alike. They are professional, friendly and truly a joy to work with.
Having worked at many Colorado venues, it goes unnoticed that Spruce Mountain Ranch takes pride in their beautiful property. The facilities and grounds are immaculate and well cared for. It’s a place you never want to leave! It offers stunning backdrops and provides our clients with a mountain destination experience that is intimate, elevated and personal. When entering the gates, one feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, in a setting that exudes a laid-back relaxing, yet elevated experience.
We absolutely love Spruce Mountain Ranch! We love their team and we love their property!

I had a New Years Eve wedding and could not recommend Spruce Mountain enough! From the first moment I toured, I knew we had to get married here!
The space is gorgeous!
The staff was so so helpful and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. I was able to go back to look at the space as much as I wanted!
Spruce Mountain has amazing staff that is helpful right from the start outlining everything to know! From the first day I toured, I could tell that planning my wedding was going to be made so much easier by Spruce Mountain!
There are a a few limitations as far as vendors go, but this just made the planning easier!
All in all, 10/10 for Spruce Mountain!
Special Shout out to Emily who I worked with from my first walk through of the venue to my wedding night - she was the property manager on site!! I was so glad she was able to be there to see my vision come true with so much help from her!!!!

They offer accommodations at the Estate House EXCLUSIVELY for Spruce Mountain couples, which gives you private access on the day of your wedding through the back gate!

As a planner, we have had the pleasure of working at Spruce Mountain Ranch numerous times, and our experiences have been nothing short of a dream come true for both our clients and my team. The venue's team demonstrates exceptional professionalism, and truly goes out of their way to create a seamless and stress-free experience for every wedding.
Spruce Mountain Ranch is committed to creating one-of-a-kind experiences for our clients. We love their flexibility and openness to our creative ideas, allowing us to design truly unique and personalized weddings for our clients. The picturesque surroundings provide a stunning backdrop for our floral designs and the versatility of any of their event spaces at the Lower and Upper Ranches allows us to bring each client's creative vision to life.
What really separates Spruce Mountain Ranch is their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every aspect of the event is perfectly executed. We absolutely love working with them and look forward to many more weddings and events in the future!

This is John from the CO wedding/corporate band, HomeSlice. We have been playing weddings for over 20 years and have performed at most of CO’s top wedding venues all over the state. With that said, Spruce Mountain Ranch is our favorite! The staff and the venue are the best! The venue is in a gorgeous setting that is perfect for wedding photos. You get a destination wedding location without driving 3 hours into the mountains. The place is always immaculately clean and has always had everything functioning perfectly. The layout of the property allows both the upper and lower venues to have their own special ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception locations without the two different potential wedding parties on the ranch ever seeing or hearing each other. You get your own massive area to celebrate your day. Both the upper and lower venues are setup to incorporate indoor and outdoor spaces that flow together. If I was planning my daughter’s wedding, I would definitely try to grab the date at Spruce Mountain Ranch. I hope my personal experience playing hundreds of CO weddings can help encourage you to check out Spruce Mountain.

From a logistical perspective, they have carefully and thoughtfully places guidelines in place in order to execute some of my best events. All of their staff is so kind knowledgeable, and helpful. They feel a like a warm hug to be around and work with.
They are so good to all of their couples and have some of the most beautiful property that caters to so many different taste and aesthetics. I've had very elegant brides and very rustic brides that are all so happy with Spruce. Truly a quintessential Colorado Wedding Venue.
You will be SO happy if you choose Spruce to be your venue!

We had our wedding on the Upper Ranch and had so many great views and photo opportunities for us and our guests. We used Trey’s Vista for our Ceremony, Spruce room for cocktail hour, and Ponderosa room for our reception. Everything flowed beautifully and our guests loved it! Spruce Mountain Ranch and the team will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Wow, wow, wow!! From the moment we toured the property to the last moment of our wedding day, we were blown away by the care and effort given by the Spruce Mountain Ranch team. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, but Tara and the staff are second-to-none! They will make sure you're taken care of and your day is perfect. We were planning on having our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, but due to the rain, we made some slight changes to the day. You would never know that was plan B, because the indoor space was gorgeous and the staff made it such a smooth transition. With the rolling foothills, stone fireplaces, and beautiful setting, we couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. If you're looking for a memorable venue, incredible staff, and an overall amazing wedding experience, choose Spruce Mountain Ranch!!! Thanks Tara + team!

We LOVED Spruce Mountain for every single aspect. The beauty is unparalleled; the staff is responsive and thoughtful; the organization is perfect. We were married at the “Mountainside” ceremony site and had the reception in Alberts Lodge.
I think it’s really important to review how they handled my concerns:
1) Accessibility (Grandparent who can’t walk well) - they used their shuttle to bring her right up to the ceremony site and back down
2) weather - it was 50/50 on rain and we rolled the dice, and lost haha. It ended up raining but the staff was amazing and super helpful! Also, they had the inside (Alberts Lodge) fully set up as well - in case we wanted to use it for the backup. It was really beautiful! I have no regrets about being outside - even in the sleet/rain/wind!! The views were worth it.
3) parking/guests being directed to the wrong area - there was also a wedding in the Upper Ranch and we didn’t see or hear a single thing from them. Iit is essentially a separate venue that just happens to also be owned by Spruce. 0 issues here.
Overall, I was incredibly happy with Spruce Mountain Ranch as our ceremony and reception venue!!

If you're looking for a dream mountain wedding without the headache, logistics, and major cost of actual Summit County, look no further than Spruce Mountain Ranch. And actually, it's better than the mountain venues for many reasons. I deeply and thoroughly vetted and visited many venues for our wedding, and Spruce stood out as the best from very early on. Post-wedding, it is hands down the best decision we made for our day. Spruce staff is incredible, so helpful, and the venue is simply one of the most beautiful places in the State. It has everything you need, they have backup plans for their backup plans, the day of staff went above and beyond for us, there were zero issues the entire day that they couldn't fix or solve instantly. I truly cannot say enough about Spruce and how much we loved it. People who came to our wedding just rave about how awesome it was. We chose the Upper Ranch and I could not have been happier with how everything went. If you're torn about where to get married, stop looking and book Spruce Mountain Ranch.

We recently had our wedding at the Upper Ranch at Spruce Mountain Ranch (October 2022) and cannot recommend it enough for your wedding or event. Our experience with Spruce Mountain dates back to late September 2021 when we first reached out to the venue. They were quick to respond and we visited within days. We worked with Brus Osborne as well as a few additional team members - everyone was professional, knowledgeable and made everything feel easy. The Upper Ranch is a one-of-a-kind venue built for weddings. The overall venue is rustic and cozy. The layout is perfect and each space is intentional. We were surprised with some snow so used the Aspen Room for our ceremony which still allowed us mountain views. I loved the statement fireplace for our cocktail hour. The Ponderosa Room is simply breathtaking. They require certain vendors and provide recommendations for other vendors if you ask which I appreciated - there are a million wedding vendors and this narrowed it down. All our vendors were outstanding. The fee was reasonable - especially in comparison with other Denver area venues. I’ve followed Spruce on social media since we booked it for our wedding and I have loved how every wedding is so unique and different, yet Spruce Mountain works with all of them including ours. Cannot recommend enough!!

My husband and I just got married at the Upper Ranch. Oh, what a dream come true! This space was everything we could have wished for and more. The staff was unbelievably welcoming and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. I highly recommend this venue.

This was the most beautiful place for a wedding, and I am so glad we chose it! I confirmed my wedding date with only a virtual venue tour since we lived out of state. I saw the venue in person a few months later and knew it was the perfect place. Seeing the venue on the actual wedding day was even more magical and the Lower Ranch was the perfect size for my guests (90 people). I have gotten nothing but compliments on how beautiful this venue and scenery was, hoping to attend a wedding here soon!

We recently had our wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch and it was amazing - from start to finish! The ladies were always quick to respond and accommodating, letting us tour the venue whenever we wanted to show our parents, vendors etc. Leading up to the day of they were really organized and flexible with us - which was so appreciated with everything we had going on. It truly is the most STUNNING venue. I think every person at our wedding said at least once it was the most beautiful venue/wedding site they had ever been to or seen. Could not recommend more!

Overall, Spruce Mountain is an unbelievable venue. We were so excited to get married there! All of our guests were in love with it and thought it was the most unique venue of them all. It truly just shows Colorado and beautiful this state is. Well worth the money. My only complaint is, they definitely pick and choose who they post on their social media or what they repost. Which is kinda unfortunate as it would help vendors get business, it helps other brides get ideas and it’s such an exciting day for couples and they should support being shown off. Every bride and their hard work deserves to be shared or reposted. Not only certain brides or certain vendors.

Spruce Mountain Ranch was an absolutely amazing and gorgeous venue to get married at. Tara Ames was super helpful and responsive to our questions and emails. Amazingly enough, Spruce Mountain has tables and chairs that are included in the price you pay so you don't have to rent additional tables and chairs that may not fit in your budget. I would highly recommend Spruce Mountain Ranch due to its beauty and the amazing staff.
