St Julien Hotel & Spa

ith unbeatable mountain views would allow them to experience all that Boulder has to offer. Getting ready in the bridal suite and vertigo room was so easy and fun. We loved having our cocktail hour in the courtyard and our reception in the ballroom. The space was perfect for our 160 person guest list and 8 piece band. The food and drinks at the st Julien were delicious. There are so many hors d’oeuvres and entrée options it was tough to decide which ones to add to our event. We also had the famous St J mini frozen espresso martinis passed out on the dance floor and that was such a hit. Highly recommend! We worked with Morgan then Kirbi during the course of our wedding planning process. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests. The staff was also helpful and professional throughout the entire weekend. We knew this going into our wedding, but the St J is a busy hotel. There was another event with live music going on in the lobby during our reception and cocktail hour. This didn’t bother us but it’s something to be aware of if you’re looking for a more isolated wedding. All in all, we highly recommend weddings at the St J and are excited to come back to the hotel and reminisce on our perfect Boulder summer wedding.

he planning and coordination from out of town. They helped us see the venue and coordinate everything virtually without visiting Boulder, CO prior to the weekend of our wedding. The St Julien is an absolutely beautiful hotel that made us and all our guests feel so special and welcome. It is the best location with the most incredible views of the flat irons. Kirbi and the staff were professional, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make all our wedding day dreams come true!

on the lawn at the St. Julien and the reception inside. There was a short hail storm 30 min before the ceremony and the team worked so quickly to wipe off all the chairs so that we could have our ceremony the way we envisioned it outdoors. The food and beverage was incredible, especially considering the size of the wedding. The service the entire weekend was truly unmatched. Gaby was there to help at every turn the entire weekend, we truly would not have had the incredible experience we did without her. 10/10 would recommend

guests and they absolutely loved their stay in Boulder. The hotel is central to just about everything so our friends/family had a blast walking Pearl street, shopping and dining. Pros: Food was great, tasting was really fun, complimentary bride/groom suite was lovely, views for days, worked with us to modify menus/bar packages and staff was very attentive. Con: Very busy hotel with live music on the weekends + bumping lobby scene, scheduled a lunch the day of my wedding which caused some logistical issues (luckily I had a wedding planner to figure it all out). No major cons, but thought it would be helpful to point out a few things that made me a little nervous! Luckily it all worked out :)

f our list because of its close location to everything special Boulder has to offer - restaurants, shops, hiking trails, nightlife, etc. The hotel is beautiful inside and out, and truly the best of Boulder! The rooms are modern and luxurious, the staff is friendly and attentive, the views overlooking the Flatirons are breathtaking, and the pool & spa facilities are delightful. A few months before our big day, our original catering manager notified us that she was leaving and we'd be assigned to a new person. While I was slightly nervous about this change after all the planning we had already done with her (and knowing how close we were to the big day), the transition to our new catering manager, Nicole, was absolutely seamless! Nicole jumped right in without hesitation. We met to walk through all the previous decisions that had been made and to make sure we were on the same page moving forward. She is organized, thorough, professional, and so sweet! Our wedding weekend was perfection! We shuttled guests to and from our ceremony at Sunrise Amphitheater, and had the cocktail hour and reception at the St Julien. It started raining right after the ceremony, so our cocktail hour had to be moved inside, but the team at the St Julien did their best to accommodate an outdoor cocktail hour right up to the last minute. We appreciated all their hard work shifting everything indoors quickly and quietly. Our guests didn't even really notice as they gathered in the lobby and enjoyed a few cocktails at the T-Zero Lounge while waiting. The food at the St Julien is exceptional! Our guests are still talking about it to this day. Not only do they have a lot to choose from, but everything was prepared perfectly. My husband is a major foodie and they certainly surpassed his expectations. If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely pick the St Julien! Thank you so much to the entire staff and especially to Nicole for making our wedding weekend so memorable! The little details did not go unnoticed and we are truly grateful for everything you did to ensure this was the greatest day of our lives! Dan & Amy DeBarr (Lewis & DeBarr Wedding 6/30/19)

enjoy. Atmosphere, food, beverage all world class. It was the perfect Colorado wedding.

nths we inundated Alisha (Social Catering Manager) with e-mails and phone-calls, particularly as the big day approached, she always took the time to help us emerge from moments of panic feeling calm, focused and reassured. She went the extra mile on all questions/concerns/requests and made us feel like she completely understood our vision. The day of our wedding was incredible because we didn't have to worry about anything. The staff at the St. Julien worked so seamlessly with our other vendors, it gave us the opportunity to relax and enjoy our day. From handing out welcome bags when guests checked in, to making sure we saw the ballroom first and had a drink and time to eat, to calming my nerves right before I walked down the aisle, to the presentation and quality of dinner – Alisha and her team had amazing attention to detail and their professionalism/customer service was exceptional. We would highly recommend the St. Julien Hotel, Alisha, and all the staff. Everything felt so personal and dedicated to us, devoted to making our day as amazing as it could be. Thank you again for making our special day so perfect, your stunning venue and ability to turn our dreams into reality has left us with the most magical memories of the best day of our lives.

d reception. They chose to have their reception at the St. Julien Hotel on a Sunday evening, in the courtyard outdoor space, to continue the mood that their ceremony at the Sunrise Amphitheater would set. The reception was perfect, with every possible detail attended to and every variable planned for, thanks to the patience and assistance of Alisha Reicks-Sturgill, the event manager at the St. Julien and Jessica Adler, the party planner we hired. Our guests had an amazing time, and are still raving about the evening. My daughter described her wedding as perfect, and everything she envisioned....and that's the best review of all.

can’t beat the location and how accessible everything is from the hotel. Alisha was so much fun to work with and I looked forward to every meeting! The hotel really took care of our guests whether they were staying there or not! Everyone raved about the food! We offered a choice between filet mignon, salmon, and a mushroom streudel. The cakes were out of this world delicious! We had a wedding cake and a groom’s cake and they were more perfect than I could have ever imagined! The staff were absolutely wonderful and on top of everything! The spa is of course gorgeous and the women that helped beautify us (my bridesmaids and the moms) on the big day were fun and talented! Helena did my bridal makeup and she was a blast! Overall, we knew we were in great hands and our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Thanks to everyone at the St. Julien who helped make that possible!

drinks were delicious and completely exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect, from the incredibly helpful coordinator who is available to answer your questions throughout the planning process, to the waitstaff and bartenders who treat your guests like they're at a five star restaurant.

de the planning and the day amazing, fun and gorgeous! They pay such close attention to every small detail and put you at such ease! Everyone couldn't stop talking about what an amazing job they did from the food presentation to making everyone feel welcomed (greeted people by first name). We look forward to spending many anniversaries to come with The St. Julien!!!

d strongly suggest to have a large room block because the hotel fills up FAST.

staff added unexpected details like decorating our meal and cake plates. I was very happy with this reception venue.

their helpful staff- our wedding day turned into a day we will never forget. Hat's off to the St. Julien!! -The Jennings Family-

le to make sure our clients are happy. For example, the wedding I coordinated in April took place on a snowy weekend. Because the bride and groom really wanted to get married outside, the facilities team was up on the roof shoveling off snow so it wouldn't fall on guests, the banquet team was moving patio furniture so we could set up chairs for the guests under a covered area, and Alicia from the sales/service team was on site to help ensure everything went smoothly. In fact, that morning as we all discussed our options, the team was proposing different ways to make the couple's vision of an outdoor wedding happen, in spite of the inches of late spring snow. During the planning process, Alicia patiently answered all of our questions and was always supportive of our requests and very responsive in her communication. The chef, kitchen staff, and banquet team are all such a pleasure to work with. They truly care about providing the best service and they do it well!

ced – from the gorgeous and picturesque backdrop of the Flatiron Mountains, to the amazing full-service customer experience that Alisha Reicks-Sturgill (the catering manager/event planner) and her entire team at the St. Julien provided, including the delicious food prepared by the catering team, the spectacular room accommodations for our guests, the beautiful set-up and design of our event held outside on the Lawn/Terrace, the attentive and very helpful valet & concierge staff, and the relaxing spa services that we enjoyed during our stay. Alisha went above and beyond to make our experience truly memorable – not just on the day of the event (which she knocked out of the park!) but also during the entire planning process leading up to our Vow Renewal. She was extremely helpful and recommended almost all of the vendors that we ultimately hired, which were ALL fabulous and perfect for what we envisioned-especially Brighter Day Floral Design, and she was so very patient and understanding with our many requests during the process and with all of our last minute changes. We cannot say enough good things about our experience – the St. Julien exceeded our expectations and our event was absolutely perfect. We would highly recommend the St. Julien to anyone looking for an exceptional venue with breathtaking views and an overall amazing customer experience for their special day – whatever that might be.

mony & reception venue. We were even able to do our ceremony outside in December! Highly recommend.

place delivered! The concierge team was very helpful and the hotel was accommodating to our guests. If you are on a budget of less than 20K, this venue might not be for you. We didn't get a heck of a lot of perks but the venue is beautiful and offers lots of convenience.

the day of your wedding! The food was good, and the ballroom was gorgeous. I loved utilizing all of the spaces, indoor and outdoor available. Our wedding was originally supposed to be around 150 but we only had about 70. While the tables were able to spread out more since we kept the whole ballroom open, the dance floor always had a slightly bare look to it, even though a majority of our guest list was dancing. I wouldn't recommend this space for anything more intimate than what we had, unless you are okay with the ballroom being divided up so that you have a smaller space. Loved the room they give you to get ready in, plus they give you the bedroom attached complimentary the night of. My biggest piece of advice is to double check your contract! We had communication issues and thought that we were using our minimum number of people to estimate our costs while the hotel was using our maximum. They ended up working with us and adding addendums to the contract but it was a hassle, so definitely read everything before signing!

the food even better! We had a server specially assainged to us (bride and groom) to make sure we had everything we wanted all day/night. Every little detail was taken care of as if it were a big detail. And I could not say enough about how good the food and drink were! It was so great to feel like we were in great hands and it really helped our stress level during planning and on that day. We just had to sit back, relax, and get married in a beautiful setting!
