    The Most Beautiful Wedding Weekend

    Getting married at Devil's Thumb was better than anything I could have ever dreamed. The venue is magnificent and the moment we arrived on the property we felt very taken care of by the staff. Everyone went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend the best weekend ever. Our guests absolutely loved the property and took advantage of the wide variety of activities offered (horseback riding, zip lining, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, etc). Everything was so well curated from the horses running through the pasture right before we walked down the aisle to the incredible food and food presentation. We hope to continue returning to DTR as our anniversary tradition!

    Beautiful wedding

    Devils Thumb is a class act. Hands down the most beautiful location for a wedding. The team was very accommodating and made our wedding everything we had hoped for.

    Our perfect mountain wedding

    Devil's Thumb Ranch is the first and only venue we visited when we started planning our wedding. We knew right away this was the place for us. The process was so easy and stress free and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. It truly exceeded our expectations in every way and our guests were equally impressed. It was so relaxing, elegant and magical. Everyone we worked with was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Shelby and Sam made sure every detail was taken care of and I really cannot say enough positive things about the ranch. We can't wait to spend our anniversaries and other special occasions there in the years to come!

    Wonderful!

    The place is spectacular. The property is unbelievably gorgeous and the staff are amazing. We had our wedding there about a week ago and everything was perfect. The whole planning process was also wonderful. Maura, our event manager, made everything easy. She, and the other staff we interacted with - for room bookings (Jeffre), sales (Sam), and billing (Elizabeth) - were super responsive and wonderful to work with. The most important thing to us for our weekend was that our guests would have fun - and they definitely did! There is so much to do at Devil's Thumb and there are endless beautiful views to see. Everyone was telling us that they were already hoping to go back and visit at some point. We would highly recommend Devil's Thumb! If you are looking for a beautiful place to get married and outstanding service, then this is your place.

    AMAZING. HIGHLY recommend this venue.

    I HIGHLY recommend using Devil's Thumb Ranch for your wedding. We had an incredible experience. The team of people at the Ranch is super helpful and supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process to make sure your day/weekend goes well. The venue is GORGEOUS, all of the spaces for pre-wedding events are amazing, and the food is delicious. Our wedding turned out better than I could have even imagined! Highly recommend.

    Devil's Thumb Ranch Wedding-Great Experience!

    Our daughter and son in law were married at Devil's Thumb in July 2019; it was everything we and they hoped for and more! We visited the venue in January 2019 and were met by such a professional staff ready to walk us through the process of hosting this destination wedding, accommodating our every need and those of our guests. They worked with our wedding coordinator and all our vendors and always aimed to please. Our guests absolutely loved the ranch, the activities, the sheer beauty of the location. So many people approached us saying it was the best wedding they had ever attended! Thank you to Sam and Shelby and the team at Devil's Thumb

    A venue unlike any other out there!

    My new wife and I were married at Devil’s
    Thumb Ranch and without a doubt was the best decision we made. The team, Shelby Lane, Sam Martell, Elizabeth Goddard and the whole rest of the staff were simply amazing. This being one of the biggest decisions for our wedding, after we walked the stunning property and met Sam, our minds were made up. Every little detail all the way down to the cake was exactly what we hoped for and more. I highly recommend Devil’s Thumb and if you choose to use it as well, you will understand why!

    Beautiful Venue, Wonderful Experience

    DTR staff worked side-by-side with us to create the perfect event. From the event services manager and the facilities coordinator who supported each step as if it was their own wedding; and from both the pastry chef, who designed and constructed our beautifully unique cake, to the chef who not only created incredible culinary delights, but even hung out to serve ice cream sundaes to our guests during an taco bar unwind the night before our nuptials, and even our bartender, each made our guests feel like they were family. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting or expected a more wonderful experience.

    Devil's Thumb Ranch was the perfect location for our winter wonderland wedding! They were so accommodating, and the atmosphere was incredible. The cost was comparable to other places in the Denver/Metro area - but you get SO MUCH more for your money. The food was so delicious- 5 star. The quality does not decrease just because they are serving/feeding the masses. We had the trout and bison option (sit down dinner) and people told us it was the best piece of meat they had in 10 years! Our wedding coordinator, Anna, was on top of things and always answered our questions promptly. The day was more than I could have every asked for or dreamed of! If you want the PERFECT Colorado wedding, have it at DTR.

    My husband and I hosted a destination wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. It was our dream wedding-- everything we could have asked for in preparation for our special day. Our venue coordinator, Kevin, was beyond fabulous, as well. Most of our guests have not visited Colorado, so this was the perfect 'first impression'. Our food was amazing, the service was fabulous, and the ranch itself was breathtaking. I know we are not the only ones in our party that will be back to visit. :)

    We fell in love with Devil's Thumb Ranch on our one year anniversary, and once we got engaged, we knew we had to have our wedding there.

    The staff was fantastic and very helpful during the entire planning process and during the wedding weekend itself.

    The entire range is amazing, and the Broad Axe Barn is absolutely gorgeous. All our out of state guests absolutely loved the venue!

    When we started planning, we envisioned a "mountain chic" wedding -- rustic luxury, mountain views, but within easy driving distance of Denver. Devil's Thumb Ranch was amazing. Our guests were treated to the ultimate vacation -- cozy and comfy rooms, all sorts of activities on site, amazing food and drinks. The venue was perfect for the wedding itself -- the view is unmatched, and the outdoor ceremony site is breathtaking. The Broad Axe Barn was perfect -- the fireplace was lit, the lights were on on the deck -- I couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue. The staff were all amazing and helpful, they made us feel really special the whole weekend. Even when there were the inevitable minor hiccups, they made sure they were taken care of without stressing me out. I was able to spend the days before and during my wedding chilling out in luxury in the mountains, cozied up in an incredibly comfortable bed, hiking and lounging in the beautiful pool, and enjoying the surroundings with my new husband and our families and friends. I think we made the most perfect decision in having our wedding at DTR.

    My fiancé and I have our upcoming wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch at the end of September and we cannot wait! Kayla, the Wedding Sales Manager, has been an absolute delight to work with. When we scheduled our tasting, it so happened that it was the one weekend Kayla was going to be out of the office and thus, we would not have the opportunity to meet until our wedding. In true character, Kayla left her best friend's wedding on Sunday to drive back up to the resort and meet my family. Truly amazing! We know we are in good hands because of Kayla and I would recommend anyone interested in booking the most fantastic venue should move forward with Devils Thumb Ranch. You won't regret it!

    We just had our wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch this past weekend. It was absolutely stunning and unforgettable. The wedding site coordinator, Lindsay, is a pleasure to work with and was very responsive throughout the year with any questions or concerns that we had. They do have strict policies which allow for very little flexibility as far as pricing,etc goes, but Lindsay did everything in her power to make our wedding fit within our budget and yet stay beautiful and look like a million bucks! Our family and friends were treated like royalty as well. Unfortunately, one of cabins burned down while we were there, and they had to move our honeymoon cabin, but moved us to a beautiful lodge suite that was even nicer than the cabin we were originally going to be in! All of our guests said that it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to, and that the Ranch itself was the most stunning place they'd ever seen. Many are now even planning on making annual family trips there from now on. It is so bittersweet that our wedding is now over, but we look forward to our next stay at DTR. Thank you, Lindsay and everyone involved!!! April and Cody 4/13/14

    Winter Wedding at Devil's Thumb

    My husband and I got married at DTR the 1st weekend of January and couldn't have asked for a better venue. We were looking for a beautiful, mountainous venue where our guests could stay and not have to leave. DTR provided just this and a charming, rustic, high quality oasis for the guests and the wedding. We used the Timber House for the rehearsal dinner, Yager House to get ready in, Broad Axe Barn for welcome party and ceremony, High Lonesome Lodge for the reception, Hex Tavern for the after party, and Ranch House Restaurant for Sunday brunch. Having so many spaces made each event feel very unique and special. Although DTR is a little pricey, it was worth every penny. Their customer service was extraordinary during both the planning process and during each event. We worked with Sam, Maura, and Lindsey and felt like they each did an amazing job. They were very communicative and willing to work with us for special requests, etc. We are so so happy we chose to go with DTR and can't recommend this venue enough.

    Magical wedding

    Magical place to get married. Bryan and I are so happy we decided on DTR. Both we and our guests loved being surrounded by mountains with very accommodating staff and great food. Mid-May wedding also created a beautiful situation where we had pockets of sunshine and light snow. Both Shelby and Samantha who we worked closely with were very helpful. We would highly recommend!

    The one thing I would caution is to make sure that you ask about any maintenance work going on - for us it came as a surprise wedding weekend, and you don't want to be learning about these things just a couple days before you get married.

    Devil's Thumb Ranch did not disappoint . During the planning process it was a bit last minute for my preference, but everything worked out perfect. Even though we only had a 40 person wedding, Trisha Conrad made sure everything was arranged and taken care of for our wedding weekend. The flexibility and accommodations for our wedding was amazing and on point. The venue was intimate enough but large enough to give our guests activity options and space. I would recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding both large or small.

    Devil's Thumb was a magical place for our wedding. Every single person at the ranch, from the wait staff and cleaning crew, to the catering team and event managers, were friendly and ready to help. Throughout the weekend, all of our guests commented on how welcome they felt the at the ranch.

    As a bride, I had a bit of sticker shock in the beginning when we booked the venue, as it is quite expensive. However, it was absolutely worth it in the end because they take such incredible care of you and your guests. Working with a venue that hosts weddings all the time meant that we didn't have to worry about the details: our food was delicious, the coordination of the weekend was great, and the venue space offered our group every amenity imaginable. They have strict policies in some areas (insurance; hiring professional lighting services), but they were willing to work with us where they could.

    Trisha Conrad, the Event Services Manager, was absolutely amazing. She had just started working with the ranch when we began planning our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. She cares deeply about her brides and grooms, and works tirelessly to make sure the weekend is successful. With her extensive background in luxury services and southern hospitality, you're in great hands with Trish. If I could, I would go back and do it all over again-- we can't wait to plan our anniversary trip at Devil's Thumb for years to come!

    This is an absolutely beautiful place to get married. The staff is super responsive, helpful, and fun. The venue is perfectly done and provides the utmost in rustic luxury. We had to get married inside the barn due to snow (our Plan B), and they did such a wonderful job of creating a dramatic moment by opening the doors for our ceremony. Just A+ all around. You can't go wrong getting married here.

    My husband and I were recently married here 5/29/10 and couldn't have been happier with our decision. Rental of facilities is not inexpensive, however it is well worth the decreased stress and planning to have your rehearsal, wedding and reception all in one amazing location. The beautiful setting of the valley with the continental divide in the background provides a calming atmosphere for guests and the wedding party alike! The food here is also fabulous, they use local produce whenever possible and adhere to sustainable environmental practices throughout their facilities. The service was outstanding from all members of staff, and on the wedding day, they went above and beyond to make our guests comfortable. we chose DTR over other locations such as Vail, Aspen and Breckenridge because of the food, location, service and value for price.

    We were the first to take advantage of their elopement package, and the first to wed in their newly built Yager House. Our accommodations, food, and service was all impeccable. It set the stage for a perfect day, with the mountains as an immaculate background. Our private cabin was cozy and romantic, just what we had hoped for. When we realized we didn't have an item, the concierge was quick to deliver it within minutes. There wasn't any room service to the cabins, as they are a little far from the lodge. But it forces you to go out and enjoy the environment that begs to be explored. We even stayed an extra day and spent a day alone in the spa together.

    When I was informed that the room above the Yager House wasn't ready or photo appropriate, Stacy was quick to find me an open room in the lodge to get ready. They really took the time to prepare and serve our custom dinner for two, with a glass of wine for each course. They were there from the minute we arrived at the ranch to make sure everything was in order. It's a little pricey for all the activities that are offered, like any resort it's better if you bring your own equipment. The food is expensive too, but it's expensive for a reason. The menu is carefully selected and my tastebuds were always happy.

    Get married at Devils Thumb Ranch!

    We got married at Devils Thumb Ranch close to two months ago and cant stop thinking about! Everything was perfect- from the weather, to friendly staff and of course the incredible scenery. We got so many questions on where we found this incredible place and awe of the beauty. The ceremony site we selected was perfectly us and the high-lonesome ranch is the best place to throw a party! We cant WAIT to come back and actually lay at the pool this time!
