Best day of our lives!!

The venue was absolutely stunning and made for a peaceful and relaxing wedding! The staff was very friendly and attentive to all of our needs. Communication was excellent I knew I could always reach out if I had any questions. I would highly recommend to other couples looking for a mountain style wedding! Our biggest wish was to find a venue with a river in the mountains and this place far surpassed what we could have asked for! It gave the feel of summer camp being able to spend the whole weekend with our families! Listening to the river during the ceremony was the best calming feeling I could have asked for!

The Perfect Colorado Wedding Venue

Our experience at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch for our daughter's wedding was truly unforgettable. The wedding coordinator, Kate, was attentive and accommodating. The staff at Sylvan Dale handled everything with grace and professionalism, ensuring the day went smoothly. We've hosted weddings for two other daughters, and Sylvan Dale was by far the easiest wedding venue to work with.

The views at the ranch are beyond breathtaking, and the Heritage room emanates beautiful western charm - providing a real Colorado experience for our out-of-town guests. Additionally, the food was elegantly presented and absolutely delicious. Several guests described it as the best-tasting wedding meal they had ever eaten!

The overall experience exceeded our expectations, leaving us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

We would highly recommend Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch to any couple looking for a unique and charming venue for their wedding. Thank you to the entire team for making our family's day so special and memorable.

Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch is one of the best venues in Colorado! Every area in this large, rambling property has incredible natural views, from the river to the canyon walls to the horse pastures and the peaks. On top of that, the whole staff is absolutely incredible. Wedding coordinators Ge and Sarah take care of the needs of everyone; they are responsive and on top of every detail. Even though they're working hard to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly for all guests, they also take care of their vendors, keeping everyone apprised of the plans and making sure we're fed and hydrated. We appreciate this so much--they are not only making their guests happy, but they're making sure that all the vendors at a wedding can give our mutual clients the best possible service. We'll be happy to photograph events at Sylvan Dale absolutely any time! Thanks to everyone there! --Heather and Gunnar
