Nicole B. Sent on 10/12/2023Mountain & Ranch Vibes - Perfect Fall Wedding
Our wedding day went perfect and ran on time thanks to the Venue Coordinator, Kate. Great at answering questions & setting up weddings for success by continual communication leading up to the day. They offer cabins for your guest to stay overnight, which allowed our celebration to continue even after the reception. Wonderful mountains for pictures and just a really fun place to hang out.Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch's reply:

We had such an incredible experience having our wedding at SDR! The venue itself and surrounding scenery is beautiful and a lovely backdrop for a Colorado mountain wedding on the front range.
Our wedding coordinator, Kate, was fantastic! I'm originally from Denver but my wife and I live in Japan. This made the wedding planning process very difficult based on the time difference alone, but Kate was quick with responses and very helpful with taking early morning calls. She even downloaded a messaging app upon my request to better help our communication! Also, during our stay that whole weekend, Kate was professional, kept everything on track, and was fun to hang out with. Thank you Kate!
Not everything was exactly as we planned (as it goes) but that was really to no fault of Kate or the ranch. We had some special requests for Japanese sake and other alcohol that fell through due to vendor delivery issues. However, Kate went above and beyond to reconcile what I didn't even find to be a big problem.
There was one thing that was a bit of a pain for some of my friends staying in one of the cabins. Apparently, due to many showers happening prior to the wedding, there was no water in one of the cabins leading up to the ceremony. One of my groomsmen had to use a shower at another cabin before joining the rest of us in the game room to get ready. We're all pretty chill so this wasn't an issue for him and he didn't want to worry me so I didn't even find out about it until after the reception.
That being said, it truly was an amazing experience overall and I would highly recommend SDR!Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch's reply:

Our wedding at Sylvan Dale was pure magic! The entire team went above and beyond to craft the best day of our lives. I'd give them 100 out of 10 if I could – that's how much we loved it!
Special shoutout to the incredible wedding coordinator, Kate, who worked her magic in just 8 weeks to make our dream day a reality. Her expertise and dedication were invaluable!
We're eagerly awaiting our wedding photos because we can't wait to relive this perfect day again and again. If you're looking for a venue that's not just beautiful but also has an amazing team, look no further than Sylvan Dale. Highly recommended!Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch's reply:
It makes our hearts so full to hear this! We are eagerly awaiting your photos as well. You two were a real pleasure and we are wishing you the happiest of trails! -

Madeleine Sent on 07/31/2023Fantastic destination wedding
We loved Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch as our venue. We had a destination wedding so we had our rehearsal dinner on-site and were able to stay both Friday and Saturday night in the cabins. Many of our guests stayed in the cabins as well and loved getting to play games on-site the morning of our ceremony (they have a tennis court, sand volleyball nets, and more).
The staff, particularly Kate, were incredibly kind and helpful. We had many options when it came to food, location of the ceremony, and even if we wanted to move inside (or not) due to weather. Kate kept us up to date on the timeline and making sure that everything ran smoothly on our big day.
One thing to note, there is minimal cell service on-site and the wifi can be spotty, so be prepared to disconnect. Our guests loved the rustic vibe and said it felt like an adult summer camp weekend. We had a great experience and highly recommend SDR!Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch's reply:
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave us a review and for all your kind words. Again, happy trails! -

Lydia D. Sent on 06/14/2021Obsessed with our wedding!
We were married at Sylvan Dale on 5/29 and had the best wedding ever. We had so many guest come up and tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I wouldn’t be surprised if some guests even booked a stay this summer because it was the PERFECT place. We did a whole weekend there and got to explore the place and truly disconnect from everything and fully be in the moment. We were fishing on the river, playing games, had bonfires, and got to sit and stare at the amazing horses grazing.
Sam, the wedding coordinator, was so helpful through every single step. She’d answer every random question and give advice on what would work best. She really made the day flow and handled our rowdy bunch.
The food was delicious and drool worthy. We even had plates saved for us and left at our room on our wedding night which was so thoughtful and definitely a nice touch. The prime rib and the mashed potatoes were PERFECTION!
The servers/bartenders were there both days and were so sweet and helpful.
I have no doubt that we will be back to Sylvan Dale soon whether for a trail ride, simple vacation, or family reunion.
I cannot recommend this place or the people who work there more. -

Marcella S. Sent on 03/27/2020Charming, Rustic, and Memorable!
This all inclusive venue meet every one of our needs! The food was fantastic, Sami (SDR's wedding coordinator) was AMAZING, the staff was friendly. Didn't need much decoration due to the rustic and charming atmosphere of the ranch. All our guests raved about the venue, our out-of-town/state family and friends enjoyed staying on the ranch (with breakfast included!). Every little touch from Sylvan Dale made our special day so wonderful and memorable! -

Sylvan Dale did more than an amazing job of hosting our wedding. The venue alone has amazing beauty and is breath taking. Everyone who came was blown away with the location. Sammantha was so helpful, flexible, and just awesome. Could not have asked for a better venue. -

Deborah S. Sent on 11/03/2019Wedding and reception was all that I could have wished for!
The view for the outside wedding was beautiful. The reception including food and staff was great. Everyone had a good time. Samantha was terrific and very attentive to our needs. Having lodging for our guests was a plus and the included breakfast was very good. -
User2790169 Sent on 09/28/2016The views at Sylvan Dale are amazing and mountainous for both the ceremony and the reception area. Sarah is the wedding coordinator and she has really thought of everything to make sure you are taken care of. We looked at venues in Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Estes Park, and went with Sylvan Dale because so much is included with the venue for a great price. -
User2602353 Sent on 05/09/2016Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch (SDR) was absolutely amazing. They were super easy to work with from day 1. My Husband and I went to visit the ranch 1 year prior to our expected wedding date to see if we liked the venue and stayed the night there on one of their winter get-away packages. From the moment we walked in the door, we fell in love. It was further solidified at breakfast the next morning with the owner who came in and told us all about the ranch's history. We met with Ge after our check-out and took a tour and went through details of the weddings they host. We booked right away and everything continued to fall into place. Ge worked very hard to ensure our needs were met and we had all of our guests stay at the ranch the day before and the day of the wedding. The Wednesday before the wedding was a HUGE snowstorm where they closed the airport and roads into Colorado. We were supposed to be staying at the ranch that day as well, but were completely snowed in where we live in Parker. Ge checked in on me many times as we continued to watch the weather. She worked with me to ensure everything continued to go as planned and we made it up to the ranch in time for the rehearsal on Thursday. Ge made sure to have everything prepared and perfect in our "back-up" ceremony location. They refunded us for the missed night due to weather and worked with us on last minute seating changes as several guests were unable to make it due to cancelled flights. The day of the wedding, Ge brought us mimosas and helped get everything in order and made sure everything was perfect as I was getting ready. She made sure I didn't stress about a thing and everything was absolutely perfect. The staff at SDR was so amazing throughout the rehearsal dinner and the wedding and breakfast the next morning. I seriously could not imagine a better place to get married and am so grateful that we found SDR and Ge. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to have an amazing event near Estes Park! -
User1793641 Sent on 09/03/2014Oh man where to begin?? Not very many people can say that their wedding day was as amazing as mine and trust me when I say, other than family and one amazing DJ that credit goes to Sylvandale Ranch and their incredible staff! They helped with everything from prep to clean up, and Ge did everything possible to keep everything on track and organized!! Not to mention the sheer beauty of the venue even with the recent construction!!! They made the day what it was and I will not hesitate to spread the word and be a return customer! Thank you for making my wedding the best experience I could have asked for and so much more!!!
