Prior to seeing Lionscrest in person, my top choice was a different venue. After seeing Lionscrest nothing else compared and we looked at 20 venues. It is well maintained, kept up. Lionscrest was so easy to work with, helped develop timelines, includes dishes and linens. The mountain view is amazing. Guest raved about the venue. Staff helped me set up and get ready for the wedding, communication was super easy. We did the venue only option so I could pick catering. It is a family business so no need to worry about turnover of contact staff. Lionscrest goes with the brides vision and keeps the bride in mind. Every wedding is custom to the bride's wishes, it is not cookie cutter! This is the best venue in Colorado and staff are wedding experts. I encourage everyone to look at it, as you will fall in love and this will be the best choice for your wedding. I cant say enough about how amazing Lionscrest is.

I can only say good things about the Greenbriar Inn!! The Greenbriar team was great to work all the way from planning the event to the night of. I encourage you to book this place for upcoming weddings or events. The venue is even more beautiful in person compared with the photos. Planning: GBI team was incredibly detailed and caring about the nuances of planning our event. When we'd come with a suggested plan, they were very engaged in providing strategic recommendations to make it run as smoothly as possible. Property/Grounds: The property is stunning. We received endless compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony site, cocktail hour location, and dining room were. You really feel like you're in a magical oasis. Food & Drink: The food is a highlight of this venue since they are a fine dining restaurant! The appetizers were a hit, especially the mini beef wellingtons. People loved the cupcakes, even though I didn't get the chance to try it! I was nervous about the bar bill given it's a pay-by-drink approach, but the GBI team did a great job proactively trying to keep it as low as possible/within budget. Pets: This venue is pet friendly! They were so amazing about accommodating our dog Leo so he could be there for our special day.

The St Vrain is such a beautiful venue with intentionally decorated spaces. Mark and Annie were wonderful to work with and very communicative. We got married in April and unfortunately were unlucky with the weather, however, we didn’t have to worry much since the St Vrain is primarily indoors, spacious and was easily able to accommodate our 120 guests. Some of their recommended vendors were out of our price range so we had to do a little additional research to find the right vendors for us. Overall, we are extremely glad we chose the St Vrain.
