Your day with WAY less stress. My husband and I are we’re blown away by the Elizabeth’s service and love for our wedding day.
Emili was our coordinator and made all of our details come to life. She had the flow of a wedding down to a science. She had great preferred vendors to recommend and worked seamlessly with our outside vendors. She also organized our hotel block and was so flexible throughout the process. She seriously took care of everything. I hardly had to lift a finger during the planning process and I certainly didn’t have to the day of.
We stayed in their CSU suite- BOOK THAT. It was so worth it. Their staff left us goodies throughout the weekend for us to enjoy as well. It also provides a ton of space for our bridal party to hang out.
You may think you can save money on your wedding by DIYing everything or cutting corners. I did not have to DIY because the Elizabeth offered everything I needed (yes even decor) and I don’t have a basement full of wedding decor. I also spent approximately the same amount as if I did.
We felt so loved and our day was perfect. I 12/10 recommend the Elizabeth. You won’t regret it.

We hosted our entire event at the Elizabeth, and could not be happier with the venue, staff, and F&B. The Hotel features several different options for where to hold your ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, etc, importantly, all being in the same building. The convenience and quality offered by the Elizabeth is outstanding.
From the very beginning, Emili, the weddings manager with the Elizabeth was helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive, allowing us to plan our event exactly how we envisioned it. This made such a difference in reducing stress, and having comfort with what we were planning. Highly recommend her and her team if you have any questions.

Choosing the Elizabeth Hotel for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! The hotel alone is beautiful and speaks for itself, but what made everything run so smoothly leading up to and during our day was the staff. They were all so friendly and accommodating and were able cater to our every need. Our wedding day truly felt like a fairy tale and our guests are still raving about how elegant and fun our wedding venue was. Also, the food was unbelievably delicious! The hotel was able to adjust the menu to meet our dietary needs and create a truly unforgettable meal. The Elizabeth was everything we dreamed of for our wedding day and more! We were able to really enjoy our day as the hotel took care of all the details. We cant imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and truly could not be happier. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and unique venue that can take care of your every need.

Everyone at The Elizabeth was so beyond amazing through the process of planning with my now wife and I. From starting the process, all the way through the day of the ceremony, all parties involved with the property were amazing with communication and answering any questions we had. The hotel itself is a beautiful space, with gorgeous rooms and a great staff. The wedding team helped us get everything organized and coordinated, from vendors to music and guests, everything was so seamless. The food provided by the on site restaurant was incredible, and the bartenders did a great job of keeping up with demand. We took 364 days to plan the wedding, which would have felt far too quick had it not been for the phenomenal help of everyone at The Elizabeth. I cannot recommend the property enough for both ceremony and reception, or even a weekend get away in downtown Fort Collins. A special shout out to Emili, for putting up with all of our questions, concerns, and requests.

We just got married here at The Elizabeth Hotel and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area for music, dancing or reception, gorgeous outside terrace and wonderful roof top social area. Everything has an amazing view or beautiful touch. This is a must choose for a venue. Emilian Marsden, the wedding manger, is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. She is super knowledgeable about her field and she goes above and beyond to get things done to make your day special!

We held our daughter's wedding and reception in the Sunset Lounge on the top floor of The Elizabeth Hotel in Fort Collins. It could not have been better! Every step of the process was flawless! The hotel's wedding planner, Emilian Marsden was incredible, she is so knowledgeable, organized and a pleasure to work with. Our event was for 50 people and The Sunset Lounge was perfect! The banquet manager, Phil Brown was attentive, anticipating our needs, plus his staff were terrific. Did I mention the food? Wow, fantastic, we served passed hors d'oeuvres and passed small plates for dinner. The food was delicious (thank you Chef Brenda!) It was beautifully presented and efficiently served. The venue itself is elegant and as the sun set, we were wowed! I never imagined that any event could be perfect, but this one truly was. My hat is off to The Elizabeth Hotel, you made my daughter's dream come true!

We used The Elizabeth for our hotel block, since our venue did not include a hotel. The staff at The Elizabeth might care more about brides who are actually getting married at the hotel but I certainly did not get the impression that they cared about myself, my family, or our guests. Getting rooms in the block was a challenge and if guests wanted to come early or stay late, The Elizabeth staff was entirely unhelpful. They told us that "the block" were a physical group of rooms so my family members couldn't stay in the same rooms for longer than the wedding weekend. You also cannot plan events in any of the Elizabeth restaurants without paying to block out the entire room.

Hello Brittany,
Thanks for reaching out and your recent review on The Knot. We are sorry ...
that you didn’t have the greatest experience for you and your wedding block group that stayed with us last month. It's certainly not our goal to have anyone leave without being fully satisfied with their wedding related experience on property.
We do take this kind of feedback seriously and we have reached out to you and our other contact for the group, your mom, directly to try to gather additional feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss and continue to improve for other clients to have a better experience with their room blocks. If you prefer you are always welcome to reach me directly as well to discuss further!
Sincerely,
Audrey Hardy-Lenhart

We had our ceremony at the Magic Rat, the cocktail bar in this hotel. We LOVED working with the team. They gave us amazing options to make the ceremony feel like "us", even going so far as to pull permits with the city and let us get married in some outdoor space behind the bar. They looked over every single detail. They took care of us all day, but also in the months leading up to event. They were flexible with our unique ideas about the day and our guests said that spending time at the Elizabeth was their favorite part of our whole wedding day. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We got married in June of 2021 and had the most incredible experience! Our ceremony was in Firehouse Alley, dinner was on the terrace and dancing was in the Magic Rat! We worked closely with Emilian & Audrey who were both so responsive to our needs & wants and every question we had. They made our wedding vision dream come true and I cannot recommend them and this venue enough! We also stayed in the Presidential 'Music' Suite, which is a MUST DO for your first night as a married couple. It was a great spot for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in the morning, too! The guys got ready in the Bikes and Beer Suite, which they really enjoyed! Many of our guests stayed in the hotel under our room block and gushed about the hotel decor and vibe and how nice and helpful every staff member they ran into was. 10/10 recommend!

The Elizabeth Hotel was such an amazing venue. It is such a beautiful place and the interior design is breathtaking. Every new area is so unique and beautiful that our guests were gushing about it. The team went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. I didn't have to worry about anything all day. They decorated and controlled the timing. There was no stress and the staff were also lovely and attentive. It truly was my dream wedding.

We got married at the Sunset Lounge and every detail was just perfect! Many of us stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights and I have to say, you can’t beat the location and the luxury of this hotel. This hotel also has breathtaking photo opportunities. Our pictures are spectacular! The staff is incredible. Attentive to your every need. This location was perfect t for our smaller wedding. Just perfect.

For my daughter’s wedding we all stayed at The Elizabeth Hotel, and we booked The Music Suite as a hospitality suite for our guests. It was so beautiful and our guests all loved meeting up in the suite for drinks and snacks. We also booked the beer and bike suite for after the wedding and suites for the bride and groom. Every room was luxurious and awesome. No one wanted to leave. Thank you so much!

My name is Sheila Strachan and we had our wedding on 11/14/2020 at Elizabeth Hotel.
I wanted to write to you and let you know about our experience.
We met with Audrey about 4 weeks before the wedding and decided to have our wedding at Elizabeth Hotel. Audrey was so helpful and kind, she offered different flexible options. She was patient and always a joy to work with.
Audrey introduced us to Emilian regarding the food and beverage.
Emilian patiently walked us through the process and was fully engaged to provide what we needed for the reception.
The ceremony and reception had to be moved inside due to the weather. Audrey and Emilian did an absolutely amazing job. The sunset lounge set up was beautiful and we had a beautiful ceremony.
For the reception, we moved to the chestnut room. Again the set up, tables, buffet, drinks, and dance area were beautifully decorated. The service, the food were all amazing. I am not sure about the bartender's name but I have to tell you, she was fantastic and made our guests feel welcome. A huge thank you to her as well.
We had an amazing wedding and reception, all thanks to Elizabeth Hotel. I will highly recommend Elizabeth for a wedding venue. You made our day a beautiful day that we will never forget.
Have a wonderful day and we will be at Emporium soon.
Sheila and Alistair Strachan

Wow, just wow. The Elizabeth is a stunning venue with incredible views from the rooftop Sunset Lounge, wonderful food, and perhaps best of all, a welcoming, warm, and incredibly helpful staff. Our wedding was a wonderful experience thanks to the Elizabeth staff who greeted us upon arrival, left special little touches to help us celebrate, and delivered an exceptional, truly world-class experience. Our reception went off without a hitch, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was stress-free and helped us enjoy our wedding day. We highly recommend the Music Suite as well, with a baby grand piano and expansive outdoor space, we really felt special, like we were the guests of honor at the Elizabeth during our stay. Thank you to the Elizabeth Hotel for a day we will never forget!
