    Super impressed

    We can’t say enjoy good things about the service and attention we received. They went out of their way to make our reception and dinner special. And the food...fantastic!! Highly recommend the Twin Owls chicken as an entree.

    The first time I saw Twin Owls was when my husband and I were being announced at our reception, and let me tell you - it was AMAZING. I planned our entire wedding from Chicago and wasn't able to see any of my vendors until our actual wedding day. After working with Sandra (who is incredible), I knew we were in good hands and didn't even worry about what our venue would look like. I knew it was going to be perfect, and it was. Sandra was very accommodating to even last minute requests. I am still getting compliments on how amazing the service was of everyone working the wedding - my husband and I never had an empty drink :) I wish I could do it all over again! I would choose Twin Owls every. single. time.

    Absolutely Perfect.

    Choosing a venue seemed like such a monumental decision to me, and my husband and I finally decided on Twin Owls. And let me tell you, it was SUCH a wonderful decision. Let me lay out the reasons:

    1) One of the main reasons we decided to book was the fact that it's mostly-inclusive. Meaning, we didn't have to hire caterers or any event rentals for tables and chairs or anything. Not having to deal with potential catering glitches or timing problems day-of was INCREDIBLE.

    2) We had our ceremony right next door at Black Canyon, and then cocktail hour on the lawn* (*it actually rained so we moved it indoors), and reception in the steakhouse. That made it a very convenient flow for us and our guests.

    3) Twin Owls has so much natural beauty in its rustic, yet elegant ambiance. We hardly had to add anything else to make it perfect for our reception, which cut our decor costs (and stress) WAY down.

    4) Sandra is a very detailed, organized person, and she helped us figure out the flow of our wedding, and was flexible when we needed to make changes.

    5) Lastly, but CERTAINLY not least, the food was AMAZING. Everyone was commenting on how good it was, and Sandra even accommodated my tricky food allergies (dairy, gluten, and peanutes), and somehow the food was STILL phenomenal.

    It was such a dreamy wedding, and all the guests who flew in (it was a destination for pretty much everyone) were enchanted by the "cabin in the mountains" vibe. I've had so many people tell me it was one of the loveliest weddings they'd been to, and that's in large part due to Twin Owls!

    Twin Owls is Perfection!

    It has been several months since our wedding, but my husband and I both still agree that we had the absolute best wedding venue possible. Our wedding was a destination, and many of our guests had never been to Colorado let alone Estes Park before. Nearly all of them told us (and are still telling us) that it was hands down the best wedding they had ever attended. My husband and I are foodies, our families are foodies, and may of our friends are foodies, too. So, so many of them told us that our wedding food was also the best wedding food they had ever had. I completely agree. My in-laws purchased the wine and beer bar package, but our guests also really appreciated being able to purchase other drinks from the full bar the Twin Owls offers. Sandra and the staff at Twin Owls were incredibly kind, easy to communicate with, and so attentive to our every need. They enabled us to truly relax and focus on our wedding and guests while they provided the perfect atmosphere and the most amazing food. We loved that booking with Twin Owls meant that we didn't have to stress about a caterer that was separate from the venue, renting linens, renting table settings, coordinating with an outside bartender, renting bathrooms, etc. So much of what most couples have to think about was handled for us through Twin Owls, which allowed us to enjoy our engagement and planning season far more! Hardly any stress leading up to or on the day of our wedding! Our reception ran flawlessly because of the professionalism of the staff and warm, comfortable ambiance of the Twin Owls. My husband and I went back the next night for dinner and were greeted with the sweetest smiles and kindest words. Magical is an understatement for the wedding experience the Twin Owls provided. If I could do our wedding over again, I would choose the Twin Owls a thousand times over. It was the wedding I never thought I would have and the wedding I will dream of with the sweetest memories for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to go back for anniversary trips for years to come!

    Twin Owls is an excellent lovely venue for an Estes Park Wedding. Sandra, who does all the arranging and management is the BEST. The food was absolutely delicious and the plated servings were plentiful. Our daughter, Ellen, & now son in law, Tom, had the most beautiful wedding there. We highly recommend it.

    Having attended many weddings--FOOD and VENUE were so important to us. Twin Owls & Sandra (owner) were so accommodating, organized, uncomplicated, and perfect. First of all--the venue is SO extremely gorgeous that you barely even need decorations. Twin Owls is an awe-inspiring 1920's log cabin and is stunning. All our guests could say was WOW! And we're still saying that, 3 weeks later looking at photos. The food is delicious--as this IS a steakhouse every other night of the week! We felt really fortunate to be able to have a highly rated restaurant/steakhouse as our wedding venue. Sandra was so accommodating--coming up with a fully vegan option for our handful or vegan/GF guests. Otherwise our options included Prime Rib, Sour Cherry Glazed Pork, and Shrimp Carbonara. The food is another aspect guests are raving about. I mean, really the entire wedding was just outstanding. Everything went so smoothly, and the settings/venues were just gorgeous between Twin Owls and adjacent Black Canyon Inn for our ceremony. Thanks again guys!!

    The Twin Owls Steakhouse was the perfect spot to hold our rehearsal dinner! Sandra was a pleasure to work with and her serving staff went out of their way to make the evening special for us and our guests. Our dinner was held in the loft above the main floor and it was a nice space where our party could be kept separate from everything else. The food was delicious and we were able to offer multiple entrees to our guests to choose from. The bar package was easy to set up with plenty of drink options. The servers were extremely attentive, helpful, and courteous to our guests. I’m glad we chose this place because it set the tone for a great wedding weekend.

    Twin Owls Steakhouse was the best place to have our reception! There was no need for us to add any too much decoration because the ambiance is stunning on its own.

    Sandra, Thad and staff went out of their way to make our reception a huge success!!!!!! We had an amazing cocktail party on the lawn with appetizers before the dinner. Then dinner and dancing inside. Their reception food is as good as their usual dinner menu and features many of the same items. Can't think of another reception I have been to where the food is this good! Love the intimate feel of Twin Owls Steakhouse. Highly recommend!

    We were married on July 4, 2015 and I cannot thank Sandra and the rest of the Twin Owls Steakhouse staff enough. As if the venue doesn't speak for itself, the staff just complete the picture. They were all so incredibly accommodating and helpful when planning a destination wedding. I never felt stressed and received prompt responses to all emails. Sandra made sure that our day was perfect! We opted for the buffet and everyone at the reception commented on how delicious the food was. I highly recommend the spicy elk tenderloins for an appetizer, you won't be disappointed!! Since returning home I have not stopped telling all of my family and friends about the phenomenal experience we had at Twin Owls Steakhouse. I cannot wait to return there.

    My wife and I recently had our reception at the Twin Owls Steakhouse - we had a wonderful evening! Sandra was a pleasure to work with. The thing that impressed us most about her was her flexibility. Specifically, my wife and I wanted to do a custom menu with all food being sourced or co-sourced from Colorado. Sandra went above and beyond to craft this menu with us, all while staying within the budget. Our family really appreciated this and the food was outstanding! If you're looking for a venue that has the flexibility to make your night about you and what you want, look no further than the Twin Owls Steakhouse!

    Working with Sandra at Twin Owls was a dream! From the professionalism and constant communication during planning, to the AMAZING food and great service the day of the wedding, our wedding reception was perfect. They thought of details that we hadn't and worked with all of our particular desires. We are not from the Estes Park area, and they recommended great vendors to use. They worked with our budget and then surpassed all of our expectations.
    Sidenote: If planning a reception here... I would recommend taking advantage of the cocktail hour on the lawn. It is a perfect little break between the wedding and the reception!

    We had our rehearsal dinner in the upstairs loft at Twin Owls and we absolutely loved it! Food was great and they were very easy to work with. We loved the rustic, Colorado feel to the place and the menu. We had a lot of out of town guests so it was fun to be somewhere with the natural, Colorado feel.

    My husband and I could not have asked for a better rehearsal dinner venue for our wedding weekend. The staff was friendly and professional, and ensured ourselves and our guests were taken care of the entire night.

    On top of that, the food was AMAZING! They offer a wide array of delicious meals with a Colorado-twist on them (Just a heads up, the mashed potatoes are to die for!). We had a private room which made our dinner even more special and intimate. The restaurant is beautiful and is a great place for your rehearsal dinner.

    Sandra at Twin Owls was great to work with. In between e-mail correspondence and phone calls, all of our questions were answered.
    We booked our entire wedding long-distance, so we were hoping it would all turn out the way we hoped. It turned out exactly how we imagined!
    The staff was easy to work with in regards to changes that we made to the setup of the room. The wait staff was also extremely friendly and served us very well.

    We had our wedding reception at Twin Owls and could not have been happier. We had a great experience from the beginning. Sandra was great to work with and easy to get in touch with, and whenever she was unavailable her assistant, Julie, was just as great. We had a couple of minor contract issues but Sandra was very responsive and was able to fix them as soon as they were brought to her attention. They are very flexible and accommodating. The venue is GORGEOUS - we had very minimal decorations and it would have been fine with even less - and of course the food was delicious. We are still getting tons of compliments on our reception!

    We had our reception here in July 2013. Food was superb and decently priced. Our reception was small and we had it in their loft that holds 35 people. Very private and has its own bathroom, so very convenient for all my guests( especially for my elderly grandma that had recently had hip surgery). Very clean and quaint. I highly recommend this place for any small party/celebration!!

    Twin Owls Steakhouse was absolutely wonderful when my finacee and I found that our original reception plans fell through just a week before the wedding. They dropped everything they were doing to help us put together a last minute party that turned out to be beautiful. They timed the beverages, food, cake, etc perfectly. We couldn't have been happier. The restaurant itself is beautiful but we opted for the lawn reception. It does get warm and there is not alot of shade for the guests but we would highly recommend Twin Owls for parties or wedding receptions.

    We held our rehearsal dinner at the Twin Owls for 31 guests. All the planning was done virtually and from out of state. Every aspect of this event exceeded our expections, from the menu offerings to the excellent service. The friendly staff welcomed the guest promptly and with efficient bar and food service. We had an open bar and the selections suited every preference. The value was unbeatable and the quality of the food excellent. The family friendly environment was more than accommodating for the children attending the dinner. We are appreciative to Twin Owls' staff, especially Sandra who was our event planner to Julie and the servers who made our event memorable.

    I worked in the restaurant business for 10 years prior to entering the Air Force, Twin Owls Steakhouse is a "no-brainer" when deciding to host your reception in Estes Park. The food is excellent! We found it hard to decide what we were going to serve. We decided on the buffet service, why not be able to try 3 entrees as opposed to one. The service was amazing, very personable staff, never went without anything. Sandra will work with you on pricing! We went with the all inclusive bar and buffet--absolutely amazing and best decision ever. They provide cake service, and champagne toast and the whole restaurant is yours for the night. I had so many compliments from my guests, the venue is so beautiful, little money was spent on decoration. The appetizers are awesome, I guess I didn't buy enough from what my guests said. We chose the Buffalo swedish meatballs, shrimp cocktail, Cajun elk bites, and our package came with a cheese and fruit tray. Twin Owls serves everything in style, absolutely wonderful, we'll be back for dinner in the future!
