The Barn at Sunset Ranch

A gorgeous venue that easily accommodated our group of about 110 people. It was easy to get to, stylish, and so clean! The property was very well maintained and thoughtfully designed. Despite a massive snowstorm and continued snowfall during our event, the parking lot was plowed and the patio was cleared of snow so that our guests could step out and enjoy the fire pits and crisp mountain air. The owner Jayme was exceptionally kind and accommodating, even allowing us to host our event on an off season weekend! The manager Sandy was a joy to work with. She was present to greet us on arrival early in the day to help us set up our decorations and get things ready for the bar service she runs (The Pour Trailer - also great!). Overall, a beautiful venue that we highly recommend!

Amazing backdrop, very clean and modern facility but it wasn’t perfect. The first thing that I will have to mention is the actual manager of the facility, Sandy, is also the only bartender that you can use. Which, when you see a venue as busy as this one, you would think that this bartender/manager would be able to help at least somewhat craft the cocktail menu or at least have a basic margarita recipe to go off of, nope. Here we are planning a whole wedding and the person you’re paying almost $200/hr can’t help come up with a recipe for the most basic cocktail known to man. When it came to being any sort of flexible, helping us in any way, the manager was the opposite of helpful. Every question that we asked her prior to we did get answers to, but it was veiled with doing as little work as possible from her end. Or, it was going to come at an additional charge. Our day of coordinator works at that venue very frequently, who was AWESOME, knows not only the owners but Sandy as well. There is a mandatory meeting at the venue at 8 AM the morning of your wedding. Since our day of coordinator has worked there so much we asked if she could either attend or we could skip the meeting. Which, we were allowed to do, however, Sandy was insistent on getting all of the alcohol for the wedding at 8 o’clock in the morning. Since no one was gonna be there, it was going to put undue stress on our wedding party, we then agreed we would bring the alcohol at 9:30 when we came for Rehearsal. We provided the contact for my father-in-law as he would be bringing the alcohol to the pour trailer. She then circumvented us and texted my father-in-law requesting that he bring the alcohol at 8 AM even though we had agreed on 930, cool. The fact also that you are charged for somebody to maintain nonalcoholic drinks on top of whatever she wants to charge per hour left a really sour taste in our mouth. Overall, the facility is wonderful. Aside from the groom room if you can call that, I would consider it more of a broom closet that they change the wording on. However, For a “low low price” like an additional $300 you can rent out the Airbnb in the back for the day - just felt like a money grab. Overall, it was one of the best days of our lives because of the other vendors that we worked with. The venue was great as a structure, but would potentially consider getting married somewhere else given what felt like not the most honest and straightforward interactions with the team.
