The communication with the team was always good, helpful and open, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, the venue was absolutely magical - the rustic, beautiful setting was more wonderful than we could have imagined.

As a planner, I just did my first rehearsal dinner/welcome party at The Barrel. My clients were very happy with the results. It's a casual atmosphere, and the bar remains open during your event, but there is some separation between your event and the open bar area. Food trucks are welcome or we had a caterer set up a lovely buffet. It's a very "Colorado" experience ...don your cowboy boots and jeans and kick back the night before your wedding.
