Willow Ridge Manor

rry about a thing leading up to the day. The day of, Gregory was so helpful as we were setting up and even helped us hang our neon sign when we didn’t know how to. He made sure the day ran smoothly and served as a day of coordinator, too. Plus, it’s so affordable compared to other venues in the area! I wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else and will recommend it to everyone I know.

coordinate. They also act as wedding coordinator, eliminating the need for you get your own. The venue itself is gorgeous, we ended up having a beautiful clear day in mid-April and have the ceremony outside and the celebration inside. The red rocks provide a great background for photos and ambience, plus plenty of parking in the lot and across the street. Many hotel options nearby for guests, and not too far from Denver or the mountains.

in the wedding business! His experience is unmatched. The venue is so beautiful. You can’t find a better location! Greg was so amazing on our wedding day! He was great helping all day long and even helped us to find the kids something to do when they got bored waiting for the day to kick off.

he owners Gregory and Lawrence were invaluable. We didn’t hire a wedding planner and our knowledge of weddings were slim, so it was fantastic to have someone help guide us through the process and coordinate the big day. The historical mansion is beautiful and we have already received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Gregory and Lawrence for making our day so special!!

Lawrance was there to make sure the evening went off without a hitch. The views at the venue are stunning! It's so beautiful on its own we didn't even decorate the ceremony area!

loved hosting our wedding at their gorgeous Manor and recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning venue!!

e collaborative, supportive, and absolutely instrumental during every step of the process. Using their lists, I found vendors that were familiar and comfortable in the venue and with one another. This led to a seemingly effortless ceremony and reception without any hiccups! Gregory manages to use his humor in conjunction with professionalism to run an efficient (and hilarious) rehearsal and ceremony. Not to mention Lawrence was kind and empathetic as I nervously waited to walk down the aisle. Lastly, the venue speaks for itself as it sits on an absolutely stunning piece of property in the foothills that mean so much to me! I will forever be grateful to look back on this day whether it be in my memories or these stunning photos. Thank you again Gregory and Lawrence, I hope you keep making nights like mine possible for many more years to come

well placed, and we could not have asked for better! His knowledge and assistance were invaluable, and he was fun and personable at the rehearsal. His experience prevented us from making seemingly small decisions regarding the ring bearer, flower girl, and location of flowers that unknowingly could have otherwise allowed for wedding day problems. The bride and groom wanted an uncommon ceremony with unique participants. The suggestions Gregory provided accommodated their desires while fully keeping the formal celebration of the day. The wedding was beautiful, and the day flowed perfectly. The dressing suite for the bride and the dressing room for the groom were large and allowed for good photo opportunities before the wedding. The outdoor scenery was magnificent and the heirloom quality of the interior made the ambience truly remarkable. There was nice handicap access, the views from the dining/dancing areas were wonderful, and the food/catering areas were very welcoming, accessible, and roomy. The mansion is a perfect setting for a wedding and the cost is extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this venue!

work with. He answered my many questions and made sure our day went off without a hitch. I highly recommend this venue.

above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. They are knowledgeable, have great recommendations for vendors, and are just great to work with. Thank you both for making our day PERFECT! We couldn't be happier with this venue. Photo Credit @EricaSteinhousePhotography

outdoor space. A perfect location for cocktails and a CO sunset. Don't be too quick to judge some of the outdated aspects of the venue. You can rent the space for the entire day at an amazing price and turn the space into something MAGICAL. I was stunned when I walked into our reception. It was everything I wanted for our big day. We had a fabulous time! Wish we could do it all over again!

n amazing venue, help with the details of the big day and have been working with couples during the 2020 pandemic to reschedule their event with dates that were still open on their calendar. Every couple that we did photo or video for at Willow Ridge Manor this past year had nothing but awesome things to say about the venue. You can not go wrong by choosing this venue to host one of the most important days of your life! Beautiful views, lovely venue and a staff that takes care of their clients!

and I got married here on 9/7/2020 after having to postpone our June 20, 2020 wedding due to COVID. Gregory and Lawrence were the absolute best when it came to rescheduling. There are no two people I would have rather worked with for the biggest day of my life and the most stressful situation we have all been put in when it comes to COVID. The day of the wedding Gregory and Lawrence were so wonderful. They made sure I wasn't stressed, they stayed calm, and they really made every single one of my dreams come true. My husband and I have many single friends in the Denver Area and we have highly encouraged them to go with Willow Ridge Manor when their big day comes! A truly added bonus is the STUNNING scenery all around the mansion, we have the most amazing wedding pictures! Don't think twice, book your wedding at Willow Ridge Manor, you will not be disappointed.

dating, and extra helpful the day of, and throughout planning! Gregory was there to greet us in the morning and stayed throughout the Ceremony. He assisted with setting up and helping the vendors get setup as they arrived. I would definitely recommend this venue for your wedding.

all are questions answered. Gregory and Lawrence are highly professional, fun and knowledgeable! They truly care about your experience! Thank you for allowing my wife and I to have no worries on September 26,2020 a day we will never forget!

wanted to host our wedding at Willow Ridge. Gregory immediately put us at ease (after a very lengthy venue search) and made us feel like the wedding of our dreams was possible. In the coming months, Gregory was so helpful in responding to any and all questions we came up with! He responded promptly and always assisted us by offering advice and good solutions. The wedding day itself was Pure Magic. Gregory and Lawrence are an outstanding team, and made the entire wedding day so smooth! Their expert guidance made the day one to remember! Lawrence was so wonderful in helping carry my cathedral length veil. Gregory made sure the processional was properly timed. The advice and the experience these two have is unmatched. All of our guests loved being at Willow Ridge. Not only is the outdoor location wonderful, but inside we all felt like we were at a friend's house, having an epic celebration. We cannot thank Gregory and Lawrence enough for all they did. We will cherish our memories at Willow Ridge Manor forever. Thank you with our whole hearts!

to the timing and schedule of events for our wedding (perfect for us-there we’re a ton of things we hadn’t even thought of!) Our guests had a great time, and we had a beautiful scenic spot to say our “I Do’s”. Highly recommend!

ed and made us feel welcome at their venue. They provided suggestions for caterers, djs, photographers, etc. We chose this spot because of the views, location to Denver and the fact that we would be the only wedding that day. The place is clean and there was plenty of space for our 160 guests. I highly recommended Willow Ridge Manor!

’t say enough about Gregory. He was above and beyond helpful with everything. Needless to say the day went very smoothly. Please check out Willow Ridge Manor for your special day.

day with an extra smile. Our guests wanted to befriend them. Also, the venue is beautiful and super convenient for any wedding day activity. ALSO they helped our dog to be the best ring bear there ever was!!!

for our guest perfectly and allowed us to all dine together and party afterwards. The rooms where I dressed with my bridesmaids were so quaint and we created some life long memories together there. One of the other great aspects is you provide your own liquor to be served which made it possible for us to do an open bar. Go check them out, you will not be disappointed!

industry experience translates to their passion of hosting beautiful events. From the initial meeting, final walk-thru, rehearsal and day of, they both made me and my guests feel welcomed, special, and calm! They truly have everything under control. The venue is beautiful and surrounded by the glory of the mountains and Red Rocks formations. I appreciated that they provided us with recommendations for partner vendors. By having a list of recommendations we truly found vendors with great services and ability to leverage long standing relationships with Gregory and Lawrence. Again - a smooth, worry free experience. Our guests loved the venue and had a great time at our wedding and ceremony. Thanks to Willow Ridge Manor, our wedding day was everything I could have wished for and more.

ce for the bridal party, excellent photo opps and the room has just enough space when the weather is nice.

ountain feel without having to travel too far from Denver. We would recommend booking the venue for the entire day as it provided ample time to set up, get ready, and take pictures without stress. It is also great that you get access to the whole venue. They provided us with great recommendations for catering and a DJ. Both had extensive experience working at the venue making the day run without a hitch. Gregory was very timely with all communication. He always called me back and emailed me within a few hours of reaching out. They were very accommodating to us visiting the venue several times to measure things and take pictures as we DIY most of our decor. All of our guests loved their experience here and so did we! Our wedding day was perfect! Thank you Willow Ridge Manor!

or plan and notes on the A/V set-up when we booked instead of making us chase him for those items and could have reduced our stress and mitigated issues we knew could arise. Aspects of the venue need an update, but they are mostly the upstairs areas where guests don't go. PROS - Gorgeous views, outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, indoor reception - All-in-one location for the entire wedding - Good value for the money - Venue is pretty much a blank slate so you can really make your wedding feel unique and yours with minimal decorations - Attentive venue owners CONS: -Multiple weddings in a single day means you have limited set-up and dance-floor time. - Gregory is eccentric, which wasn't an issue for us, but we did hear from other people who had their weddings at Willow Ridge that he gave guests lectures on drinking before the ceremony and other sort of off things. - He's very responsive to emails and calls you remind you about payments and rehearsals, but doesn't always answer the questions you ask and answers questions he thinks you should ask instead. - He wasn't very prepared for our walk-through and wasn't sure if there was a wedding the night before or morning of our wedding, so I had to stay on top of details like that (thankfully, I had asked him in advance of the walk-through and was prepared). - He called a couple of days before our wedding to tell us someone else had a wedding the night before so we couldn't do a rehearsal, which we had known for months and noted at that walk-through so that he would know we were doing the rehearsal elsewhere, which was not a big deal but just a little disorganized and a weird call to get. He is VERY protective of the venue, so no kegs are allowed, decorations have to be minimal, and he or his partner Lawrence are there at every turn telling you what you can and cannot do, which again wasn't an issue for us but does limit what you can do and felt a little oppressive on the day of when they would just be standing there watching you when we were just trying to take photos and enjoy the day. - WRM/Gregory does not have an outdoor sound set-up,although there are outdoor speakers that he had set up when we did our walk-through by the cocktail hour area, so make sure your DJ has the right plugs and cords to ensure your laptop or ipod can plug into their (the DJ's) system for cocktail hour. Despite repeated emails to our DJ and Gregory, this question was never answered and we were just told to relax--and then no one had the cords and we couldn't play our playlist. It ended up raining and we had to move inside so it didn't matter as the DJ was able to just play his own songs, but had that not been the case and he was inside setting up during cocktail hour, our guests would have been outside in the silence because Gregory et all couldn't answer this simple question. - The 1980s Laura Ashley getting-ready rooms and creepy piano room. With some minor updates (new curtains, get rid of that piano and make it a sitting room for older folks who want to talk and sit away from the loud dance floor) this space could be really incredible. I didn't want to take getting ready photos here because it was so tacky. - One bathroom for guests downstairs. - Gregory could only fax us a floorplan--this should be emailed w/contract.

uld trust and were very responsive and helpful. The view of the foothills, mountains and red rocks is phenomenal and brought a mountain feel to a wedding just outside of Denver. Gregory and Lawrence took a lot of time to meet with me and were very responsive whenever I had questions throughout the planning process. They helped coordinate many things during the wedding to ensure it went smoothly, provided backup plans and have really thought through making the venue beautiful with top of the line chairs, arches and decor for ceremony and reception. They also are helpful with budget and allow you to BYOB alcohol which really provided a lot of savings vs. other venues in the area. We were so thrilled with how everything turned out and would truly recommend Willow Ridge Manor.

hing went perfectly. Gregory and Lawrence were so kind, helpful and organized. They had a plan for everything. Clearly, they have had tons of experience with successful weddings. The views and scenery were beautiful also. If you're looking for a very "Colorado-esque" wedding without going deep into the mountains or paying a ton of money then this is the place to go. While the bridal party was taking pictures with our photographer, all of our guests were taking their own photos on the rock formations...they couldn't believe the views. Thank you, Gregory and Lawrence for making 8/24/18 the best day ever!

our guests commented on what a great venue it was.

er what will be memorable is my terrible experience trying to book with this venue and being hung up on on multiple occasions and being lied to about who’s actually coordinating and managing this facility . So again thanks to Gregory my fiancé and I are missing out on our planned wedding date, because of his ignorance and terrible management and coordination skills. If you’d like to deal with frustration confusion and bluntly tons of lies book through this venue or try too LOL, if only I could leave a -5 star it would suit them great !!!

communicating with one another before the ceremony and during family pictures. Another thing that was kind of stressful is when Gregory and Lawrence decided to rearrange our ceremony processional 20 minutes before the ceremony. Everything worked out well for the ceremony, but arranging the processional would've been nice to do during the wedding walk-through. Other than those two things, the wedding was beautiful and very organized! Lawrence and Gregory did a great job coordinating the ceremony and even provided umbrellas to guests when it started raining. Some of my friends arrived late to the ceremony, and Gregory and Lawrence made sure to have them quietly enter after I made my walk down the aisle. The venue was clean for the reception, and my husband and I enjoyed the spacious suites upstairs.

ts said it was the best wedding they've ever attended. They said Gregory treated them like family and by the end of the evening he must have had his picture taken a thousand times with the guests! If you want an elegant, beautiful venue with amazing views that's close to Denver, Willow Ridge Manor is the place!

y well. Highly recommend! (Book early)

ices ( BYOB saves tons of money) . I felt right at home on the wedding day. It was like my own personal white mansion for the day in a fairytale. I would highly recommend the venue. A huge thank you to both Gregory and Lawrence!

ory, Thank you so so much for everything this weekend. You made everything light hearted and fun while also letting us know exactly how to make everything go as smoothly as possible. From bringing us wine before the ceremony to bringing the flower arch arrangement in from the ceremony to the mantle place, it was all so special. You were such a hit with my bridesmaids and truly made it an amazing evening. Also, thank you for talking me into having the wedding outside. I am so glad that we did in spite of the cold. We would recommend you and Lawrence to anyone!! Please feel free to share our high praises as well. All the best, Ashley Sent from my iPhone

was more than I could have asked for thanks to them and their attention to detail.

again and again hands down. Thank you!!

ng a wedding planner nearly unnecessary, I didn't run into one problem! The landscape around makes for a great atmosphere and views yet still conveniently located. I highly recommend Willow Ridge Manor for your special day!

lovely, snow, rain or shine. Gregory and Lawrence are very experienced with weddings and very professional. No need for a wedding planner or coordinator with these two. They give a full list of suggested vendors that work seamlessly with them, making everything super easy. They put high demands on the vendors you choose and well worth it. I was so nervous about how everything would actually come together and what fires I was going to have to put out on the day of. But it was so easy from the bride's point of view. No snags, no hiccups. Everything was flawless.

oothly. As far as I know the only hiccup was that no one wanted the dancing to stop! I highly recommend this venue to everyone!!
