Gorgeous Mountain Venue
Sky Retreat was an incredible venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, helpful, and made the planning process easy. The venue itself was gorgeous, with spacious indoor and outdoor spaces and incredible views of the surrounding mountains. They truly made everything simple for us. We and all our guests were blown away by the beauty of Sky Retreat - it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebration. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
Response from vendor•May 7, 2025We loved hosting you, Blake and all of your guests! Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!My Dream Venue
Sky Retreat was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was quick, easy, straightforward, and clear, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and the overall value was nothing short of beautiful, extraordinary, magical, and truly unique. The staff on site was a delight to work with - they were there all day to help with anything we needed and were always happy to step in and lend a hand. The venue itself was so unbelievably beautiful, and with about 150 guests, the size was perfect. I could not recommend Sky Retreat more highly, and the added bonus of the adorable donkeys and goats was a huge hit with all of our guests!
Response from vendor•Apr 9, 2025Thank you for the kind words, Lauren! Wishing you both all the best!Review
Sky Retreat staff were very nice they had good, constant effective communication. The retreat location and event hall was well maintained. The value they offered was great all in all with taxes and fees I paid 2300 in an off season. They had the majority of my set up prepared by the time we had to set up. We were satisfied with the service and the over all experience. A small detail was that the person attending could have communicated a little more but he even helped to clean up towards the end of the night.
Sky Retreat is the best!
The team at Sky Retreat has provided exceptional service for multiple weddings I've photographed at their venue. Their communication is always concise, clear, and punctual, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself offers superior views with 360-degree vistas, and the spacious layout is perfect for large events. They have consistently provided gorgeous decor that complements the natural beauty of the space. It's safe to say I frequent Sky Retreat, with several weddings booked there in 2024 and 2025 - no matter the weather, the experience is always amazing.
