Warren Station Center for the Arts at Keystone Resort

as very responsive and answered questions quickly and there was plenty of support available to us on the day of our wedding. I looked at several mountain venues prior to choosing this one and though it is not cheap it was the most affordable option that I could find and still maintain a larger guest count (150-200people) and an indoor space for the reception because we all know Colorado's weather can be unpredictable. One of the things that made this venue affordable for us was that we were able to use our own caterer which kept the price per person much less than a typical all inclusive venue and our own DJ. The biggest downsides of this venue is that they do not let you put a cap on a hosted bar. Unless you are ok with gambling with what the final cost will be this basically forces you to utilize either a cash bar paid by guests or a "price per head" option which is pricey though consistent with other vendors about $40 per person. In addition to this they require you to pay for every person over the age of 21 which is not ideal if you have several family members that do not drink. That all being said the bartenders were fabulous. They were kind, energetic and appropriately monitored guests. Lastly, they do follow very strict rules at this venue and do not tend to stray from them so if this is something that bothers you I would say this is not the place for you. Their rules are listed clearly in their contract so you are aware of them prior to signing. For instance, they do not allow any outside alcohol on the premises this is stated right away and very clear but it was kind of unfortunate for us as my father makes his own wine and it is tradition to hand out small bottles with the couples face on it as a gift. We were not allowed to do this. There were a few other instances like this that came up like bringing our own space heaters so we did not have to pay extra for them that were declined. All in all our day was truly perfect for us and I would definitely use Warren station again.

he Quaking Aspen Ampitheater made for a beautiful ceremony location! Thank you!

, Renee. She was beyond helpful in the preparation stages for our wedding venue and experience. Plus the location of the wedding is in the heart of a wonderful and lively ski town that has amazing views. The bridge next to the venue adds character and was fun to take pictures on. My wedding was all indoors and the adjustments that had to be done to flip the space from the ceremony to the rehearsal was a smooth process. The only reason I considered giving 4 stars was due to the experience earlier on when there was a lot of confusion and miscommunication. Those helping me plan the wedding, and paying for it, took charge of the situation and the confusion was ultimately resolved. Once we all communicated matters I think things turned out better.

little great reminders in the weeks leading up!) and super helpful in answering questions timely during the planning stages. We are SO grateful for Renee and her team. Wish we could have our wedding day over and over again at Warren Station! The stage was also HUGE and PERFECT for the band and our guests had the best time on the large dancefloor. The stage lighting was beautiful and complimented the decor we brought perfectly. I can't reminder Warren Station for the Arts enough!

th their team was easy and pleasant. The leaves were absolutely beautiful during the fall and the location was perfect for our guests to stay in the condos nearby and walk to and from the reception site. We highly recommend!

utiful setting. Cocktail hour on the patio was wonderful with the fire pits, flowers and creek running in the background. The Warren Station staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night and were continually making sure everything was perfect for us. They were also incredibly accommodating when we delayed our wedding due to COVID. We are so happy we choose Warren Station and it will always hold a special place in our hearts!

ou want alcohol served at your wedding you have to in some manner come to a contract/term agreement with them for bar service. If you do the minimum service option like we did as a hosted bar (beer & wine) that will run you around $4500. Grand total= $10,200. Keep in mind, this literally doesn't include anything else (table cloths, catering, DJ, cutesy decorations, cake, photographer, florist, and so forth) and those expenses do add up. All in all I'd estimate we spent roughly $25,000 for an "affordable" wedding venue option. So I'd completely disagree with that statement, and if you do book with this venue, you'll understand why. In terms of the pre-selection of the venue process, one of the things you will be told is that they "work with a ton of vendors in the area" (hotels, caterers, florists, photographers, DJs, and so forth) but yet when you call them most of the responses that you hear are "Who? Where are you getting married? What's the name of the venue?" Translation--they don't really have established connections with many vendors in the area. I actually had to make a ton of phone calls to connect with Summit Cove Lodging, and other local hotels to get my own rates and setup my own wedding discounts for guests. Be warned. The next item I want to focus on is professionalism and customer service to be expected after booking/signing with this venue (and the bar contract of course). Make sure and read all of the fine print, and the day you go to tour, be sure to ask for the most up-to-date wedding information packet. One reason why, we were originally told we could have a "partially hosted" bar at our wedding (essentially agreeing to pay a set amount, and once surpassed, your bar would become a cash bar). When discussing the contract, we were then told that service isn't offered for weddings (and then Renee basically broke down for us that essentially after cocktail hour our bar would become a cash bar). Make sure if you do decide to go with this venue you read all of the fine print, get the most up-to-date information, and ask a lot of questions for clarification. Furthermore, on our scheduled walkthrough 2 weeks prior to our wedding (9/4), Renee double-booked Oktoberfest participation and completely no-showed on us (we also have e-mail information and phone calls supporting this). We waited for well over an hour before deciding to leave. This is just totally unacceptable behavior, and after a strongly worded e-mail they decided to offer us an additional hour of setup time at no extra charge due to the 'No Show.' You're not going with this venue for customer service, you're going with this venue for the ceremony/reception area. My wife and I fell in love with this place, the staff don't really care about your day. To elaborate, they will try to nickel and dime you for every expense related to your wedding day, after you've signed the contract, you're no longer clients you're just simply a paycheck filled with logistics and a nuisance to their day-to-day operations. The venue/reception area is beautiful, and like us you'll have a beautiful day if you ignore the people running and maintaining Warren Station, read the fine print, do your research, decide if it's worth it, that's our advice.

e to a ton of lodging for guests. We were so happy with our reception and so grateful to the whole team at Warren Station!

out the planning process. Everything from the location to the staff was absolutely wonderful. Though we are disappointed that we are not able to have our wedding at Warren Station, we are grateful for how well the staff has treated us.

d if another wanted to “challenge you,” for the day, they would call you. At this time, you either pay right then or surrender the date. We put our names down for September 12th. Ryane maintained contact with me after this. When I called to put down our deposit, I was informed that our date had been given to another couple. When I reminded Ryane of our agreement and that we never received the challenge call, all she would say was, “I’m sorry.” She said she would talk to her manager and get back with me. She called me back THE NEXT DAY to tell me that again, she was sorry and that all she could do was offer me the 11th or the 13th. I told her this was not possible since our vendors were booked for the 12th. We either had to break contracts with all of our vendors or find another venue that would be willing to work with us on shorter notice. Needless to say, the complete lack of integrity made us not want to work with them at all. If nothing else, it is a life lesson reminder to get everything in writing.

the resort it felt private. It was awesome to have our friends and family all stay on the resort with us for wedding weekend. The reception site was wonderfully set up. I loved having the ceremony and reception all in one spot. Can't recommend this venue enough!

pecial place in our hearts. Quaking Aspen was the perfect setting for our ceremony! It was beautiful and the seating arrangement was perfect! Everyone could see and hear because it’s designed like an amphitheater! Warren Station itself was perfect! The whole space was ideal for the colder weather! The team behind Warren Station is amazing! Our wedding day was seamless, and Ryane was such a dream to work with! Any and all questions were answered and I was totally put at ease going into our big day! The bartenders were awesome and our guests had such a fun time! 10/10 would recommend every time!

ne was my coordinator and was so rude and unprofessional. I would email a question, and never get an answer. I also emailed final counts for bar and got accused of not giving a correct count, and was told we WILL take a head count. I was a very low maintenance bride and didn't require much assistance. So I can't imagine someone that needs a little more help with questions and direction planning a wedding. Ryane told me she would help run the ceremony and then said she was too busy at my rehearsal. She was an embarrassment with the way she treated myself and my family on the weekend of such an important day. I was then charged more than $500 extra for my bar. I called to dispute this with Ryane's boss, Danielle. I was actually 4 adults short from the final count I gave her. Danielle told me that Ryane is great and pretty much stated in so many words I needed to keep my issues to myself and she really didn't care. They did fix the bar charges, and mailed me a check to reimburse me. The venue was hot, they assured me they just easily wheeled in fans to cool it off, but come wedding day the fan was broken. All in all, there are many beautiful venues in Colorado, I would steer clear of this one as that is all they have going for them.

s leading up to the wedding. There was always a quick response to any questions I sent over or ideas I had. We were able to have the fun celebration exactly as we envisioned for our wedding here! If we had to plan it all again, we would absolutely still choose Warren Station Center for the Arts.

and sent venue information over to us that day! Thanks Chris! Michelle, the venue coordinator was amazing. I could always count on her to reply in a timely manner and to provide me with the information I needed. I felt so at ease knowing Michelle had the bar and venue handled. Michelle even brought in my favorite rose! On the day of Michelle was one of the first people I saw when we walked into the reception, she was genuinely happy to see us! Michelle and her team were amazing day-of, supportive of my vendors and my family. The bar staff was amazing as well! Handled the cocktail hour rush like pros and knew what to pour me when I came to the bar. If you are considering Warren Station, just say yes. It is in such a convenient location and is priced SO WELL! This place is literally a hidden gem and perfect for a couple who doesn't want to overspend on their venue and not have room in the budget for other vendors. Trust me when I say booking Warren Station will be one of the best wedding decisions you make.

because of this wonderful venue!

helpful and accommodating, it made planning the wedding with them much easier! Michelle responded back to us in a timely manner and also helped us set up last minute tours when we had family in town who wanted to see the venue. I cannot say enough good things about Warren Station, and would highly recommend them!

. If I had to do my wedding over again I would absolutely pick Warren Station again.

ut just enough out of the way of the crowds. We were on a budget and this venue is very reasonable priced. The best part is that they allow you to set up the day prior if there isn't an event! They allow you to bring in your own caterer but you have to use their bar for alcohol. They work with you help fit your budget and needs in regards to the bar. We told them our max budget for open bar which includes tax and tip and anything after that was cash bar. I thought that was really awesome because many places didn't do that. Michelle is super awesome and very helpful the days/months leading up to the big day and on the day of! The rest of the Warren Station staff that worked with us were awesome as well. We highly recommend the Warren Station for a wedding and any event!!

the day of our wedding, and instead of rushing us to choose indoors or outdoors, they let me figure it out and jumped into action to dry everything up (outside was the winner). Everything went well and I could not be more grateful. I would recommend Warren Station to anyone! Chelsea, Michelle and the rest of the team are the best!

l occasion. There is lodging nearby, so all the guest were able to walk to the event! A great place to have a celebration!

is the inside of the Warren Station clean and updated, but the landscape is very well maintained. Everything was just perfect- beautiful setting and accommodating venue coordinators. They made our day and night so special and magical! We would do it over and over again, and wouldn't change a thing.
