Best Venue Ever!!!

My husband and I got married here in August of 2025. We both knew the first time we toured WBL that we had found our venue. We looked around at a few others in the area (just to do our due diligence)- but this just helped us know for certain that WBL was the best choice for us. The entire process was seamless, from booking, to planning, to the day of! Maddie and Hawley made sure everything ran so smoothly- and we are so greatful to the entire team for all of their work! The attention to detail and work that the staff put in to making this the most special day was incredible. This venue is the perfect venue for couples looking for an "all inclusive" venue that allows you to put your own personal spin on things. I couldn't recommend this venue to have your wedding at more.

Most magical wedding venue!

We were so lucky to book this venue for our wedding on 08/30/25 — it truly made our dream come true.

You can immediately tell that this is a well-run, professional, and caring venue. During our initial tour at WBL, Codi was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable. We fell in love with the venue right away.

Here’s a breakdown of the highlights we think you’ll love when considering this venue:

View:
The view is what sealed the deal for us. The outdoor ceremony space is absolutely breathtaking. They even have “alcoholic llamas” (our nickname for them!) that carry beverages on their backs. We had them during our cocktail hour, and our guests LOVED it.

Cost:
The venue includes catering and several beverage package options. The pricing is reasonable and not overly expensive for this area, especially considering everything that’s included.

Food:
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food — it was delicious! We even had them incorporate local wild mushrooms into our menu, which was such a special touch.

Location:
Our guests stayed in Estes Park, and we arranged a shuttle service to and from the lodge. It made transportation easy and convenient for everyone.

Amenities:
The venue recently underwent renovations, and everything looks beautiful. My hair and makeup artists, photographer, and videographer all commented on how stunning the bridal suite was. There are two adjoining rooms — one with plenty of vanity mirrors and another with private curtained sections for changing.

Coordinator:
Now for the best part — the coordination team! Lauren was our wedding coordinator, and she was absolutely AMAZING. She stayed on top of every detail throughout the planning process and took such great care of us on our wedding day. She always responded promptly to my (many!) emails and was incredibly helpful and kind.

On the big day, Lauren handled everything — setting up décor, keeping the timeline on track, coordinating with vendors, checking in with our families, and even making sure we were fed whenever possible. I have no idea how she managed it all while still smiling the entire time!

The entire WBL team was fantastic — well-coordinated, attentive, and professional. Because of them, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our day without any stress.

We are so thankful to WBL for giving us such a seamless, magical wedding experience. It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives.

With love,
Kearny and Ryan

Best Venue Ever!

My wife and I got married at Wild Basin Lodge in September 2025, and it was an absolute dream! Lauren and the WBL team made planning an absolute breeze, and the wedding itself went without a hitch. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue, it couldn't have been more perfect! We highly recommend the elevated package, as the included vendors and contracting through the venue made everything so simple. Lauren put so much time and effort into our wedding! The venue itself is stunning and newly renovated. It was the perfect mountain getaway, without being too rustic. So thankful for Lauren and all of the staff - their dedication to our day was truly incredible.

Flawless Experience 10/10!

We are just over a month from our wedding day and are still completely in awe at how perfectly smooth everything was. Our day would not have been as incredible without the remarkable staff of Wild Basin Lodge, especially our day-of-coordinator, Codi. Codi gave us our initial tour in June 2024 and we had a connection with her immediately. She genuinely was invested in the experience we were looking for and took the time to show us everything the venue had to offer and answer any and all questions we had. The staff was kind enough to offer a champagne wall and signature cocktails when we booked by a specific day, which was an added bonus to the experience we wanted to have for ourselves and our guests. The venue checked all of our boxes for a late summer wedding as our priorities were focused on an open bar, endless dancing, and photos to capture all of the fun and smiles. The highlight of WBL for us was having catering, liquor, linens, tables, chairs, etc. included with additional decor available, which helped to reduce overall costs. The Meadow Peak ceremony site is unbelievably stunning with mountain views, greenery, and wildflowers. The staff was accommodating to all dietary restrictions for us and all guests, which was especially important as a bride with food restrictions. The chef was able to make nearly every food option we wanted gluten free, our appetizers were a hit, and the meal was one of the best dinners I’ve ever had at a wedding. Multiple guests were vocal about how grateful they were that their food restrictions could be accommodated with delicious options (i.e. not just a salad for vegetarians). Codi and her team were very prompt and thorough to our questions throughout the process and allowed us to visit the venue a couple of additional times (outside of the tour, tasting, and final walkthrough). We were so pleased with all of the amazing recent renovations, which made the dancefloor more open and offered a more modern feel without losing its mountain charm. We would highly recommend Wild Basin Lodge to anyone looking for a perfect mountain wedding with incredible experience, food, bar options, decor options, local recommendations, and a team who is incredibly caring, thorough, and responsive to all needs.

Best Wedding Venue in Colorado

Planning a wedding isn't supposed to be easy, but with Wild Basin Lodge it was! WBL is the absolute perfect choice for your Colorado mountain wedding dreams. Our big day went absolutely perfectly and it is all thanks to the WBL staff and plethora of planning resources.

From the beginning, we knew we made the right choice with WBL. We had a virtual meeting with Hawley who took us through a virtual tour of the property and explained everything about the venue and the wedding process itself. This was a destination wedding for us, so learning that WBL basically handles everything for you was the perfect selling point. You get assigned a Coordinator to help you with anything you need through the wedding, WBL has all the food and drinks in house, they have a list of approved vendors that are all incredible AND WBL pays through the wedding cost (You pay WBL one lump sum and they take it from there), a shared Google Drive with any resources you may need, and most of all - Wild Basin Lodge is VERY reasonably priced. For the beauty of not only the location, but also the lodge and everything else they have to offer - This might be the best wedding venue in the state!

Our coordinator was Lauren who was just an absolute gem! She frequently checked in on us and held our hand throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond in tons of ways and was always quick to respond to our questions or even give amazing suggestions. In fact, she recommended all of our vendors which ended up being phenomenal! We used 2 Shoes Entertainment, Marquise Photography, Wild Blossoms Studio, and La Momo Maes Bakery and we can't recommend every single of those vendors enough. On top of being a great coordinator, Lauren was also super friendly and sweet. She even recommended local camping spots for us since we were road tripping! We cannot thank Lauren enough for all her help!

On top of the mentioned staff, every worker in general on the big way were fantastic as well. Everyone from the kitchen/wait/bar staff to people floating around making things are okay - just genuinely amazing people. We had tons of great conversations with every worker we talked to. It was almost as if Wild Basin Lodge were our friends and guests of the wedding themselves!

Thanks again Wild Basin Lodge for hosting our wedding and making it absolutely PERFECT! We will always remember this day and hope plenty of other couples get the opportunity to have their wedding here.

Book Wild Basin Lodge and don't look back future newlyweds!

Perfect in every way!

We stumbled upon this venue that was absolutely perfect for our micro wedding of 22 people! We got married in the meadow and had dinner on the wraparound deck. Our experience working with Hawley and Codi was exceptional. We highly recommend adding on the llamas and the honeymoon suite!

Wild Basin is THE BEST!!!

We had our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge at the end of May and it was truly magical! The venue is gorgeous, the recent remodel is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the lodge staff were the best! Lauren, our day-of event planner, helped make our day run smooth and was so accommodating and helpful. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience. HIGHLY recommend Wild Basin Lodge for all your wedding!

The most perfect wedding venue

Wild Basin Lodge was truly the wedding venue of our dreams! From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was something special. Nestled in the heart of Allenspark, the lodge offered those cozy mountain vibes and jaw-dropping views that gave our guests a real taste of Colorado. Every single space was thoughtfully designed and created the perfect flow for our day — from our ceremony in the beautiful meadow with the mountains as a backdrop, to our first dance next to the river, it felt like something out of a dream.

The staff at Wild Basin Lodge were warm, welcoming, and so attentive throughout the entire process. Lauren was absolutely incredible to work with — she collaborated seamlessly with our wedding planner to make sure every detail was just right, and we felt so supported from start to finish.

We also loved all the fun and unique add-ons they offer — our guests are *still* talking about the beverage llamas and the whiskey tasting! The food was outstanding, far beyond typical “wedding food,” and everything was beautifully presented and delicious.

This venue isn't just stunning — it has heart. You can feel the love and care the team puts into every event. Wild Basin Lodge gave us an unforgettable wedding day and a place that will always feel like home to us. We cannot recommend it enough!

The Perfect Mountain Wedding Venue!

Wild Basin was the perfect wedding venue for us! The team made everything so easy throughout the whole process - which for us, as an out of state couple, was super important. Any time we had a question, the Wild Basin team was easily reachable and answered all our questions. We came into our wedding day stress free, with total confidence the day would go off exactly how we wanted it!

Our guests have all gone out of their way to tell us how beautiful the venue was, how great the drinks were, and how delicious the food! Booking with Wild Basin was the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding, besides saying I Do!

Incredible!

We got married at Wild Basin Lodge in August 2024 and it could not have been more perfect! From the moment we stepped into the venue we were blown away by the views. We always knew we wanted an outdoor Colorado mountain wedding, so the meadow was the perfect choice for our ceremony. You cannot beat the stunning Rocky Mountains as a wedding backdrop!

Lauren and the team at Wild Basin Lodge were amazing! The planning up to the actual day of was flawless, Lauren was amazing at answering our questions and giving us advice. Wild Basin offered us a comprehensive list of preferred vendors to help work through the planning process. Our tasting was easy to schedule and the food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about how great the food tasted, specifically the Brussels sprouts!

We highly recommend booking Wild Basin Lodge as your wedding venue! They went above and beyond to make each stage in the planning process easy and fun. From the amazing team at Wild Basin Lodge, to the scenery, food and of coarse the beer llamas our wedding day was magical.

Incredible!

We absolutely loved everything about our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge! The venue itself is incredibly stunning — it is the perfect quaint mountain venue — but you get so much more than a venue with WBL.

The planning team thinks of absolutely everything; they listen to your wedding vision and they help you execute it seamlessly. Our coordinator, Lauren, was the biggest blessing during wedding planning. Every question or concern was met with an answer or an immediate solution. I’m going to miss our meetings with her because of how much fun it was to plan our wedding together!

The on-site catering is truly to die for. I have lost count of how many compliments we have received about our wedding dinner. Everything is cooked to perfection, and it is very clear that the kitchen staff cares about presentation as well as taste.

The honeymoon suite, the add-on options like a Colorado whiskey tasting during cocktail hour and a photo booth during the reception, the bridal and groom’s getting ready suites, the signature cocktail options, the dog-friendly environment…. I could go on (and on and on).

If you are looking for a comfortable, fun, stress-free, gorgeous wedding venue, look no further. We love you, WBL!! Can we start working on a vow renewal yet? Xoxo, Cola’s parents.

Perfect Destination Wedding Location

Wild Basin Lodge exceeded our expectations for our destination wedding! My husband and I are from Florida and planned our wedding remotely over the course of 9 months. Hawley, our incredible coordinator, was with us every step of the way and made the process SO easy. From helping us select vendors and providing lodging recommendations to helping us pull off a blindfolded rehearsal the morning of the wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The setting is breathtaking, and the entire staff was wonderful. Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

You won't find a better venue or staff to work with on your wedding day!!

WBL and our day of coordinator, Randi made our wedding day an absolute dream. The ease, attention to detail, and constant communication throughout the process was incredible. Our guests couldn't stop raving about their time at our wedding, the food, and of course the insanely beautiful setting WBL provides. My vision for our wedding was to have a stress-free day in the mountains at an all-included venue surrounded by our closest friends, family, and our pup. Once you step foot on this property and experience this firsthand, you'll instantly be sold just like I was.

We just had our wedding at Wild Basin this past July and loved everything about it! We loved how the staff were so knowledgeable and accommodating. They made the process very smooth and answered ALL of our questions. Not only did we love it on our wedding day but all of our guests had the best reviews. The ceremony site and river area were beautiful and we loved that a large part of the day was outside! Thank you to all the staff and the amazing chef, you all made our day so memorable!

Checked all the boxes!

As soon as we walked into Wild Basin Lodge, we knew the venue was the right place for us and we are so happy we chose them to host our magical day! We knew we wanted a "mountain" wedding and we knew we wanted to keep it intimate. Wild Basin Lodge checked all of the boxes for our requests and then some!
The best part of Wild Basin is definitely everyone you will get to work with. Our event coordinator, Lauren is the most amazing person ever and just wish we could get married again so we could continue our communication channel with her. From day one of your wedding planning, rest assured, you will be in the best hands ever.

Finding the right words for this venue is hard. For November 18th, the views were stunning and my day was pure magic. My coordinators, Hawley, Jenn and Lauren we amazing and made the day move flawlessly. They worked with us in so many ways and would always answer my millions of questions within 24hrs. The food was outstanding, the price was so reasonable, the staff was super helpful and everything about it was perfection. Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives 💙

Wild Basin 10/10

Could not have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our wedding. Hawley was there from the beginning and provided a constant support from the day we walked away from our tour to the venue. The team as Wild Basin is very knowledgeable, supportive and ready to help make your day everything you dreamed of! The venue itself is a perfect setting for both indoors and outdoors and was everything we could have asked for. The food was amazing and the drinks were great as well!

RUN - Don't Walk to this Mountain Wedding Venue

We were so fortunate to book WBL for our wedding. It's been one month since our wedding and we look back on our day and still are in awe of how phenomenal our day was because of this picture-perfect venue and the INCREDIBLE team of people. Special shout out to Hawley for being the best planner we could have hoped for. We booked this venue two years in advance and she was with us every step of the way. Hawley and WBL team, we cannot thank you enough for helping us with our dream day.

Dream Wedding at Wild Basin Lodge

As a professional event planner, I hold high standards when it comes to rating venues. That being said, my experience at Wild Basin Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue, and I say this with utmost enthusiasm: run, don't walk, to Wild Basin Lodge.

Nestled on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, this venue not only offers a breathtaking backdrop, but it also provides a tailored, private experience delivered by a top-notch team.

When choosing a wedding venue, we had specific criteria in mind. We wanted a space that wouldn't be shared with another wedding and a team that could transform our vision into reality without breaking the bank. Moreover, we aimed to minimize the number of vendors we had to coordinate with, seeking a convenient one-stop-shop experience. Wild Basin Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way.

From the moment we started planning, the Wild Basin Lodge team made the entire process seamless. Working with them was a dream, and they were genuinely committed to bringing our vision to life. I must give special recognition to Hawley Vining, whose professionalism and ease of communication were truly exceptional. Hawley served as our point of contact from start to finish, ensuring that our day unfolded just as we had envisioned. This consistency ensured that our vision was never lost in translation, a rare luxury in event planning. Hawley's presence from setup through dinner service on our wedding day further guaranteed that everything ran smoothly. Although we had an additional day-of wedding coordinator, it's worth noting that the Wild Basin Lodge team had the situation well under control.

As a self-proclaimed type A personality with a propensity for handling everything myself, I was initially hesitant to delegate. However, the trust and confidence that Hawley and the Wild Basin Lodge team instilled in me made it easy to hand over all responsibilities on our wedding day. This level of trust is a rarity in my line of work, and it allowed me to enjoy a stress-free day.

Now that our wedding day is a cherished memory, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Wild Basin Lodge and Hawley as our hosts. The day proceeded without a hitch, and the Lodge's stunning backdrop provided the backdrop for the most beautiful wedding photos. In fact, I wish I could relive our wedding day repeatedly, as it was nothing short of perfect.

While our overall experience was outstanding, it wouldn't be a genuine review without offering some constructive feedback. Our only point of dissatisfaction pertained to the wine selection. While we certainly don't claim to be sommeliers, we do possess a reasonable knowledge of wine. We found that the quality of the wine offerings didn't quite align with the pricing included in our package, and the pricing for special requests was notably higher than the industry standard. However, it's worth noting that, in the grand scheme of the day, nobody at our wedding had any significant complaints about the wine selection.

In conclusion, I couldn't recommend Wild Basin Lodge more wholeheartedly, and I sincerely hope that every couple has the opportunity to experience the same magical and memorable day that we did.

Amazing Experience

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Wild Basin Lodge. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are AMAZING, the food is delicious, and they do such a great job helping you coordinate and plan your wedding to make sure it is the perfect day and exactly the way you want. We had so much fun working with the team at Wild Basin Lodge and couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did for us. They are so easy to work with and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for everything WBL!!

Wild Basin Amazing!

Hawley Vining and the team at Wild Basin Lodge were amazing. The stress and worry of planning and executing the wedding was made so much easier by Hawley. She walked us through step by step what we needed to get done and what were to expect day of the wedding, she set up calls with us and did in person meetings to make sure we were all ready and prepared so when the day came the only thing we had to worry about was doing our part day of the wedding.

That doesn’t even begin to cover how beautiful the venue is. If you are like us and love the mountains there is no better to place to get married than in the meadow right under the mountains. We had wildflowers in the fields and beautiful views behind us. Our friends who have never been in the Rockies before were blown away.

The food was great, the dancing was amazing, and don’t forget to ask about the llamas!

Amazing wedding venue with fantastic people

We had our wedding at Wild Basin in June 2023, and it was absolutely amazing. We would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an outdoor mountain venue. The venue is stunning of course but Jenn and Hawley really made the day special for us. They supported us through the whole planning process from finding vendors to setting our timeline. It was a perfect balance of giving us resources (most of what we needed for the day was included in the venue package) but also leaving room for flexibility if we wanted to do something different. They had everything we needed and were so nice about accommodating last minute requests. And not least of all, the WBL team made us feel like they were genuinely invested in our wedding and making it feel special. We love Jenn and Hawley, they are amazing!!

Mountain elegance

We knew Wild Basin was our wedding venue from the moment we went to take a tour. The views and spaces are breathtaking and the staff is welcoming and helpful. The mountain charm of the building, along with the rushing river and meadow views make it feel like a home away from home. Our wedding was well executed due to the detailed planning meetings and information given by the Wild Basin staff! They make getting married in such an amazing landscape even better than we could’ve asked for! The food was incredible and guests loved the time out on the decks with beautiful views and great cocktails! If you’re looking for a casual yet elegant mountain wedding, this is the place for you!

A Colorado Dream Wedding

It has been one week since our wedding and I just to express to you how much we appreciate everything that everyone at Wild Basin Lodge did to make our wedding day so special. We had so many guests comment that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Many commented that it was "The Perfect Day" - which we absolutely agree with. The weather, the ceremony, the food, and the overall experience was all phenomenal. The all-inclusive package of the venue was very convenient for us since we live out of state. I cannot express how thankful I am for you both taking over all the decorating. You took my vision and made it a reality! Thank you so much for making our Dream Wedding come true! We cannot wait to make another trip out to Estes Park again.

An authentic romantic location

I’m so unbelievably glad we had our wedding here. From the very beginning, we felt supported by the staff and knew they genuinely wanted us to have exactly the experience we wanted. Makenna always asked for our opinions and always gave her expert advice and bent over backwards to ensure we had the best experience working with their whole team. My whole family adored the location and staff, you can’t go wrong by booking your wedding here.

WBL was the most amazing venue!

We had our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge on 6/18/22. It was the most perfect day we could have ever asked for. Our guests said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to and that it was the most beautiful venue. We did the Elevated Package (All-Inclusive), and we're so glad we did. Having Hawley as our wedding coordinator helped me through the entire process - she answered my questions and kept me on track throughout, and she ensured the entire day went smoothly. The food, drinks, and staff were all incredible as well. They worked with us to accommodate all of my dietary restrictions and make us the most fun signature cocktails! The vendors on their list for us to choose from were all so great that we had a hard time deciding who to hire! But we ended up with a rockstar team, and I would do it all again exactly as it was. We had our ceremony in the meadow with the mountains behind us and our first dance by the river, and it was incredible being able to use both locations for the wedding and for pictures. It was a truly unforgettable day.

Perfect venue for a perfect day

This venue is so stunning and the staff are professional, enthusiastic, and help make planning so easy. We had an incredible time there and can’t thank them enough for helping to customize our wedding to be exactly what we wanted. Thank you for helping us start our marriage in such a perfect way!!

Dream wedding!

We loved working with Wild Basin. Makenna is so sweet and understanding, and we are so happy with how our wedding went. Everything went smoothly, and our guests had a great time. The food and drink were great, and Makenna spent a lot of time with us getting down the details. It’s also an absolutely gorgeous property. I would highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for Rocky Mountain wedding.

Wonderful experience

Wild Basin Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. Makenna went above and beyond in making sure we had everything figured out leading up to the big day, and I swear she was an actual mind reader day of, often solving problems before we even knew something might have gone wrong. The food was also truly spectacular, and my only regret is that I too busy having fun to eat more of it!

A venue not to pass on

Wild Basin Lodge and its team made our wedding day incredible! From coordinating our first tour with them to the wedding day, they were fantastic. Hawley informed us of fire conditions when we were supposed to take a tour of the venue and was super helpful in rescheduling with us as an out of town couple. Because we are from out of town, we were able to schedule a private tasting and work closely with the team on site while we were in town. Makenna was a wonderful coordinator, very responsive and offering ideas whenever needed. Her energetic personality matched with our group so well and it was so fun to work with her. Todd crafted delicious signature cocktails that our guests throughly enjoyed. The chef was fantastic to work with! He made an amazing custom German menu based on family recipes I provided (and translated) and guests still rave about the food! The venue itself is breathtaking and the perfect spot for our winter wedding. We got married down in the Meadow Peak location that was the perfect backdrop in our photos. We all loved warming up in front of the beautiful stone fireplace inside afterwards. Overall, our experience working with the team here was fantastic and we highly recommend them! We could not have asked for a better wedding day or experience.

Magical Wedding

The first word that comes to mind when I think about my wedding at Wild Basin Lodge is magical. We could not have asked for a better setting for our big day with mountain peak backdrops, a sprawling field of wildflowers (summer), and a beautiful rushing river. The lodge itself is beautiful, tucked back in the trees, with its separate dining area from the reception area which is so nice because your guests will have plenty of space to roam around without worrying about getting in the way of staff taking down or setting up different spaces. Speaking of the staff, I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is. This was a destination wedding for us, and we were primarily communicating virtually since all of our planning time was during the height of Covid. The staff could not be more helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our every need. Dawn, the event/venue coordinator, talked through every step with us along the way, and on the day of, she and her assistant made sure each step went without a hitch. Todd, front of house manager, is also a mixologist and created the most perfect signature cocktails for our guests and made sure the food came out promptly during dinner. Hats off to the chef because the food was amazing, and it was all prepared right there at the lodge without having to order through a separate caterer. There were tons of options to choose from for the food too if you are looking for something beyond your standard steak and chicken. They serve the food family style too, so your guests can sample a little bit of everything and don't have to commit to one meal option. The best part of it all, you get access to the whole property for you and your guests for the whole day. Staff are working for just you all day to make sure you have everything you need, and you can really enjoy this beautiful slice of nature in peace and quiet. If you are looking for the all inclusive experience with a stunning backdrop, look no further than Wild Basin Lodge.

20Billion+ Star Review From Mr. & Mrs. Lee

There are not enough stars in the sky to let us give the full star rating that we want to provide WBL with. Their team took the scary and unknown territory of our wedding day in the middle of a pandemic and turned it into the most amazing, memorable day of our lives.
I cannot express how grateful I am that Olivia seamlessly became an unexpected, wonderful bridesmaid, how the chef greeted us at the table, and how our beer glass never appeared empty. The team's attention to detail and authenticity radiated in every move. And, it never went unnoticed by us.
Thank you, WBL team for being the team that you are and for helping to make this one of our favorite days to look back on. We look forward to being with you all again at the larger reception in June 2021.

Amazing Winter Wedding

My husband and I got married at Wild Basin in March of 2019 and we had the most amazing white winter wedding! It decided to start snowing the night before the wedding, and with over a foot and a half of snow, we made the decision that we were still getting married outside! Denise and all of her staff were amazing and took such good care of us. The bridal suite downstairs was perfect and more than enough space for all the ladies in my wedding party. The bar and open space on the main level were perfect for guests to hang out before the wedding started and was wonderful for dancing and cake eating after dinner. This was the wedding of our dreams and we cannot say thank you enough to everyone at Wild Basin for taking such good care of us to make sure our day was perfect. The only negative I can say is that I wasn't hungry enough to really do justice to the amazing dinner that we were served. The food was so good and I wish I could have come back the next day to eat more! We were not able to come ahead of time to do the food tasting as we live in Texas, and Denise was right when she told us we could trust her that everything would taste fantastic. If you don't have the time, you don't need to taste it ahead of time...unless you just want to eat more amazing food!

If we could, we would get remarried here every year!

I don’t know where to begin, Wild Basin Lodge is the perfect venue and made our wedding day magical. They went above and beyond to make every last detail of our wedding a priority and make our day as stress free and as us as possible. The staff and team feel like family and treated us like their own. When we came for a tour we joked about having lamas at the wedding and without hesitation they welcomed the idea and put us in contact with people to make it happen. All of our ideas, big or small they were willing to accommodate and made them a reality. I cannot say enough about Denice, Olivia, and the team. They are wonderful and are the gold standard for hospitality. As someone who grew up in culture of hospitality and service, I felt right at home, at ease, and taken care of with the Wild Basin team.

We highly recommend Wild Basin to anyone and everyone. The venue is breathtakingly magnificent, the people are even better. We could talk endlessly about Wild Basin, the team, and how they made our day unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You all are the best!

Great for Intimate Weddings

Wild Basin was the perfect venue for our intimate ceremony and dinner. The space is great for both intimate and larger parties, as it has the space but doesn't feel empty without all the people. We had 13 people, including myself and the groom, and both the ceremony site and dinner by the river felt intimate and close to nature (which we love!). The WBL team is also amazing to work with, very accommodating and have lots of ideas to make your day just how you imagine...and are totally up for trying things they haven't done before! Also - the food is sooo good!

Best in the Business

Wild Basin holds such a special place in my heart. My husband and I agree that our wedding was our best day ever and we credit that to the amazing staff and scenery at Wild Basin. I can't speak more highly of the people who work at the venue. They care deeply about making people happy and work hard to honor the unique wishes of each couple. They are very experienced and professional and most of all, kind - they truly are the best in the business. It's a big deal to pick a wedding venue, and picking Wild Basin was our best decision

Absolutely Fantastic!!

My husband and I got married at Wild Basin on 07.18.19. To say that they made the entire wedding process easy is an understatement. We booked a year out in July 2018 as an out of state couple. The communication and ease of the planning was phenomenal. I received an e-mail back (for my multitude of questions) promptly, usually within a day. We loved the transparency of the inclusive billing with the upgrades clearly labeled and no pressure regarding the upgrades. If we wanted to include anything, they had a can do attitude to making our wedding extremely special. I cannot rave enough about how seamless our wedding day went with the help from Olivia, Denice, and Lisa. They truly care and go above and beyond to make your day go smoothly and perfect. The food was absolutely amazing (we got MANY compliments) as was the venue itself. They also let you utilize any decorations that they have, which definitely helped with us coming from out of state (IL). We ended up using the Meadow for our ceremony site which was absolutely breathtaking. If you are hesitating, I would assure you that Wild Basin is wonderful and well worth the money to have a beautiful mountain wedding. Thank you again Wild Basin & Staff!!!

This was literally the best day of my life. It would not have been possible without the support, kindness, patience, and persistance EVERYONE at wild basin had. Oliva was AMAZING! Even through some staffing changes prior to the wedding everything came together perfectly. They even made us a specialty cocktail without us even asking! I don't even have the words to describe how great our experience was before, during, and even now after the wedding!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Wild Basin Lodge on August 27, 2018. It was absolutely gorgeous day! The meadow ceremony site has a really gorgeous view of the mountains. We had a hard time choosing between the meadow ceremony site and the river ceremony site…so we just used both. Both sites are easily located within each other, so it was very easy for our guests (especially for my uncle who was in a wheelchair) to get from place to place. I was extremely happy to work with Christina and Denice throughout the entire year. Christina was so wonderful to work with. She made me feel comfortable and taken care of, and she always answered all of my questions with the utmost patience. The staff and bartenders were also very accommodating throughout the entire event and we never had to ask for anything, because they were already there with a drink in hand for us. The venue is beautiful, the food is good, and the staff was extra helpful! All of my guests are still talking about this place. It is the perfect place. We were trying to find a place where I could have a ceremony and reception in the same place, have a mountain backdrop, and one that included as many services as possible. I looked at 9 different venues during my search, and for everything that was provided, I really felt that Wild Basin gave me the very best package and services for what I paid. I am so thrilled that I had my wedding at Wild Basin! It was the best choice I made for my wedding, next to my wedding cake. YUM! It was the perfect wedding, perfect venue, and the best staff I could have had on my special day! If I could get married all over again, I would definitely pick Wild Basin again! I would recommend this venue to anyone.

We got married at Wild Basin in February 2017 and had the most amazing experience. From when I first walked through the door I knew it was where I wanted to get married. The venue is beautiful and cozy, with amazing views, and perfect rustic details. It made for a true Colorado wedding. In addition, the people are wonderful. They were able to answer every question I had through the whole planning process and make my wedding planning experience truly stress free. They had a list of their top vendors that I used and each one of them provided me with exactly what I wanted. The food was some of the best food that I have eaten at a wedding, and I’m not just saying that because it was my wedding. The chef did an amazing job preparing the food and made me a tasty special meal as the only vegetarian at my wedding. The day of the wedding, Christina was so helpful with everything. From helping me decorate to calming my nerves. All I dreamed of was having a true Colorado winter wonderland wedding, and they helped me to accomplish that.

The Wild Basin Lodge helped give us the wedding of our DREAMS! The location is absolutely stunning, and so private. It will only be you and your guests on the day of your wedding. Christina and Denice were so helpful and communicative and it really helped us with our planning. They were also so flexible and understanding when we were all over the place getting closer to day of. They made our wedding day run so smoothly and everything was so beautiful and the food was great and filling! The bar was awesome as well, we got to have a signature drink created by one of the bridesmaids, and we were able to stock the bar with special requests. It was just a pleasure working with everyone there, and our wedding was perfect and we could not be more grateful!

We held our reception here on June 8, 2018. It was more than perfect. Denise and Christina made the day so easy and effortless. They even had decorations for us to use. They are incredibly organized and I am so grateful that they took the time to put together a very detailed schedule of the day and communicate with the DJ and florist. It has a rustic, Colorado feel and the property is gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. It was a dream come true!

Where do I even begin.

My husband and I reserved the Wild Basin Lodge for our wedding and literally everything about it was PERFECT. We began by taking a tour of the property (the meadow wasn't accessible since it was January) and they answered every question we had and then some. They clearly laid out what services they offer, the cost details, and gave us a lot of helpful resources for nearby vendors who they've successfully worked with in the past.

From that point, they answered every single email I sent, even the ones that were full of 30 questions. They recommended a nearby vendor who absolutely nailed the dinner reception. They consistently checked in to make sure the questions they had were answered and that they had all of the details they needed to make our day successful.

The day before the wedding, we met up to do our rehearsal - this was the first wedding for a lot of my friends, so we were all pretty clueless about what needed to happen. The staff walked us through every single step of the ceremony and eased any and all concerns that we had. We knew exactly what to do and when to do it.

On the actual wedding day, the staff was happy and helpful and really stepped in when anything needed to get done. I'm sure that I don't even know the half of what they were doing in the background. They asked for my input if a decision needed to be made, but otherwise left me free to get ready and enjoy my day while they helped get everything set up and ready to go.

I really can't say enough how amazing and wonderful the staff is and how perfect my wedding day was. I am forever thankful and grateful for having picked this venue for my wedding.

I honestly don't think I have enough words to recommend Wild Basin. If it weren't for the ABSOLUTELY amazing work that they did my wedding very much would have been a disaster. The wonderful people at Wild Basin made sure that every thing we could've wanted was provided, often before we realized we wanted it. When my hair and make-up didn't show up, the amazing bridal managers stepped up and did both for me. When my husband needed to print his vows and they all needed to tie their bow ties, they stepped up and helped out. When we realized that our florist didn't leave a toss bouquet, the managed stepped up and managed to produce one from somewhere. The food was absolutely amazing, the location was gorgeous, the appetizers in our room after the ceremony & the food in our room after the reception were both delicious and a lifesaver. And the people are truly some of the most helpful, kind, caring, and truly amazing people I have ever met in my entire life. Thank you so much Denice & Nils & all of the amazing people who make up your staff.

Wild Basin Lodge is truly a magical place! We couldnt have picked a better venue to celebrate our marriage. It is a gorgeous setting, incredibly affordable but none of this makes the top of my list. The people make WB the best place to pick for your special day. Denice and Christina and all the other WB staff are absolutely amazing. We felt like we were part of the WB family. They dealt with all of our questions and concerns through the 18 month planning process AND then made everything move so very smoothly the day of. The weather gods decided it wanted to rain on our day and they made everything work. We have only heard great things about the food, and as the bride and groom we made sure we were going to eat our own food! And it was WORTH it. Do not think twice about signing their contract. They will make your dreams come true!

We had our wedding at Wild Basin in mid Sept and were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of food, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. Christina and the rest of the staff were nothing but helpful -we couldn’t praise them enough. As a wedding venue we couldn’t fault anything. The food was out of this world and all our guests commented on the quality of food. Thank you so much.

From the first time my fiancé and I walked into to Wild Basin lodge we knew it was the place for us! After talking with the owners and management for ten minutes it felt like we were talking about our dream wedding with a family friend. The owners/ management love where they work and you can tell from the gorgeous views the property offers, many ceremony sites for all styles and wedding sizes to the quaint feeling the rustic lodge offers without sacrificing space we were so excited we found our wedding venue! Moving to booking and planning was a breeze when we made the decision to book Wild Basin! I'm sure other brides can agree you love it but the groom more price focused than wedding visionary Wild Basin broke all the prices down and made sure we both knew what exactly we were paying for and if something didn't quite fit into our vision it was reworked with a smile and "how about this" from the best owner/management team we had encountered. All in all it has been a great experience and we can't wait for our dream day at Wild Basin Lodge! You must check them out and can book a venue tour any day of the week!

The Wild Basin Lodge is amazing. We fell in love with the location and facilities when we went and toured, and as we learned more about it we knew it was the place for us. The staff was incredibly helpful with planning and helping our ideas come to fruition. We weren't super well-versed in wedding planning, but they helped with every detail, including referring us to other fantastic vendors (DJ, florist, and officiant). Their day-of coordination was great- they are fantastic at crowd control, getting people where they need to be, and keeping the bride and groom calm! :) I can't say enough good things about the Wild Basin- they are truly the best.

Denise and her staff were wonderful to work with, especially as we planned from out of state. They were flexible with our numerous itinerary changes and the day-of staff was great working with our guests and keeping the day run smoothly! We felt very well taken care of and our guests loved the setting. We booked almost 2 years in advance and made trips to the venue every season- it's beautiful no matter when you're there and you'll be treated wonderfully!

Working with Wild Basin Lodge was the easiest, most enjoyable experience any bride could have planning a wedding. Each person who we worked with was professional, friendly and extremely competent, and helped make our wedding a truly magnificent day. The person who deserves the most praise of all is Denice, one of the two owners, who was so kind and attentive throughout the process, and made everything run seamlessly. The most remarkable aspect of planning a wedding at Wild Basin is the ability to have a truly personalized experience, unlike some other venues. The pricing system at Wild Basin meant that we had no surprise fees or hidden costs: everything is out in the open and clear from the moment you begin. I found wedding planning straightforward and fun thanks to the flexibility and professionalism of the owners and staff.

In addition to the best customer service I have ever experienced, Wild Basin Lodge has incredible food, which all of our guests said was the best wedding food they have ever had. The setting is magnificent at any time of year, and every photo we have from our wedding is stunning. The lodge is an attractive building that has been well cared for and looks great with or without personal decorations. Everything about our experience working with Wild Basin Lodge was wonderful: if you are looking for beautiful scenery, a gorgeous lodge, delicious food and warm, welcoming, professional staff look no further. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here!

I could not say better things about Wild Basin Lodge! My husband and I just got married here last Friday. Denice and the staff made everything so easy and painless! I can't even tell you how many times I emailed them to ask questions and I always got a response back within a few hours (usually faster than that!) Denice made us feel like we were her favorite people and treated us like we were family. The food is phenomenal! The chef is certainly someone special! He was so kind to us on our wedding day( as were everyone!) and he went out of his way to offer my husband any starter he wanted (because David hates salad hehe!) Our wedding guests raved about all aspects of the food (my mouth is watering just thinking about that buffalo steak!). The one thing I was stressing about during this whole process was decorating day of the wedding, but since there was no event the day before Denice let us go to town and get everything done the day before!!!! I cannot tell you how much stress that relieved! It let me fully enjoy my wedding day! Day of rehearsal and wedding Christina was so great! She made sure all the last minute details were taken care of and made sure everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony! She was so fantastic and I don't know what I would have done without her!

David and I are so thankful for the wild basin team! They made it an enjoyable, painless, seamless process! Thank you for such a wonderful place to make great memories! The meadow was the perfect ceremony site for us, it is so beautiful and we were so thankful the weather held up that day so we could have it outside! The Copeland room is phenomenal and I love how the WBL team made our seating arrangements exactly how we wanted! I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the owners and staff. They are remarkable and I highly, highly, recommend this place!

THANK YOU!!!

-Mr. & Mrs. David Meeks Jr.

My husband and I were married at the Wild Basin Lodge and Event Center back in May. From the very beginning, the staff was very professional, helpful, and so accommodating. They really go above and beyond to take as much stress out of the wedding planning process for their couples. They provide all the staff the day of the event, the food, refreshments, tables, linens, and clean up. The staff members are all extremely nice, attentive to your needs, and very professional. Their responsiveness was great. Anytime I e-mailed with questions, I received a response the day of or the very next day.

The food there is superb, their rooms are really comfortable, and they only host one wedding a day which means on the day of, there's no rushing around to make room for the next event. It's just you and your party. To top it all off, the venue is absolutely gorgeous. I really cannot say enough good things about them. To any newly engaged couples out there still searching for that perfect venue, go check out the Wild Basin! You will not be sorry. The value of what you get for signing with them is well worth the money!

Wild Basin Lodge and Event Center's reply:

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Lillian! We enjoyed working with you and are so happy that you are pleased. Please let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you...come back and visit! :)

Besides being a beautiful venue with breath taking views and having the perfect cabin feel (but not cramped) one of the main reasons we chose Wild Basin Lodge is because Denise and the staff go above and beyond for you. Every question/concern/mini meltdowns out may have they have answers and suggestions to guide you. Everytime I talk to the WBL staff I come away with the feeling that they love what they do and they are excellent at the wedding business.

Our wedding was perfect. We chose the enhanced package and didn't worry about a single thing. They're recommended vendors were incredible. Everyone was professional and kind. Since we were the only wedding that weekend they allowed us to set up our decorations early. Throughout the entire process they were so attentive and honest. They answered questions promptly, and always were willing to do whatever they could to make our day easier. Denise is the most organized woman I've ever met. Our wedding went off without a single hitch. The food was beyond describing, every single one of our guests told us how it was the best wedding meal they'd ever had. All the flowers, bouquets, etc were perfect from Floral Design of Europe. They were exactly what I wanted them to be. Our cake was delicious, and beautiful. There just aren't enough positive adjectives to describe how wonderful and perfect our day was. Wild Basin really does look for every detail. Blow away by the service. My husband, mother, father and I couldn't be happier we picked them. Thank you!

I fell in love with this venue. It was amazing from the very beginning, the initial research online, you get a ton of info and an amazing virtual tour (in which you can chose to see it in fall or spring.) Then you have the actual tour, in which the staff makes you feel welcome, and special, like part of the family. They asked questions to get to know your story, while taking you on a scenic walk around the property. Let me tell you, it is beautiful! I couldn't have dreamed it better myself. You have two ceremony sites to chose from, one next to the river, and one in the meadow with a view of Mt. Meeker. The inside of the lodge is beautiful as well. Their prices are amazing, everything is upfront, no hidden costs, no separate fee for small details such as linens, chairs and dinnerware. I could probably go on and on, but overall just a GREAT place and I can't wait to get married there.

We LOVED Wild Basin Lodge! The venue was perfect for the ceremony and the reception. It was beautiful and gave our guests the true Colorado experience. The staff were so helpful with EVERYTHING! They made us feel comfortable and excited for the big day. The food was amazing. Our food was served "family style" and it was a total hit. We still have family and friends telling me how much they loved it. Everything was taken care of and the staff at Wild Basin Lodge really did it all. The wedding was our dream wedding and Wild Basin Lodge Staff really helped our dream come true!

Thank you again to everyone at Wild Basin for making our special day nothing short of perfect!

Wild Basin Lodge is simply incredible. We planned our destination wedding from out of state, and Denice and the Wild Basin staff was more than amazing. They answered every email within 24 hours, treated us like family, and were extremely accommodating to us and our guests. The food was fantastic, and the venue/views simply cannot be beat. Our guests were "wow"d by everything and we continue to receive compliments on what an amazing experience our wedding was, and that is largely in part to the venue. Thank you SO much again Wild Basin staff for making my wedding dreams come true! One piece of advice when booking this venue if planning a destination weeding, would be to consider lodging availability not just for your wedding night but also for the days and nights before and after the wedding. Many hotels in Estes do not block rooms and require a three night minimum stay. Consider that before reserving the room at Wild Basin for your wedding night, as you may end up in a bind finding a place elsewhere for the other nights.

Hands down one of the most beautiful locations I have ever been to in my life! Wild Basin is simply stunning and the staff was incredible. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding but I was so impressed by the girls that took care of us! The maid of honor was the bride's little sister and they treated her with so much respect and made sure she was included (including bringing sparkling cider so she could join the rest of us on toasts and mimosas while we got ready), it was the sweetest.

Not only that, but the forecast was rather gloomy and rain was likely. Without hesitation, the girls were prepared to move it all inside. The band marched on and we had the ceremony outdoors still- they had the cutest clear umbrellas already there just in case! It made for awesome photos and really showed how much thought and attention to detail these girls put into the day!

Wild Basin Lodge is absolutely stunning. It had everything I wanted in a venue and more than I thought possible to find! It has the meadow with mountains for the ceremony, a gorgeous deck surrounded by the fluttering aspens and a river. THe inside is gorgeous as well.

Another piece I appreciated was the honesty with pricing. Everything is laid out and you have multiple options to select from to customize to fit your needs. The food was great, the service outstanding and the location and venue are perfect.

Multiple guests, and even our band said that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.

Thanks Wild Basin for such a perfect day!

I stumbled upon Wild Basin while looking for wedding venues and drove up to Allenspark to take a look. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful lodge and knew we must be married there. Throughout the process all of the staff at Wild Basin was very responsive and thorough, and I never felt that I was annoying them with my many questions.

When the big day finally arrived, they certainly delivered. They were organized, and I felt taken care of in every way that a bride should on her wedding day. They had thought of everything and executed flawlessly. They kept everyone on our timeline and made sure guests were taken care of. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I didn't even notice the staff during the reception, they did what they needed to do and then gave us our space.

It was truly the most amazing day of my life, and it helped that it was a perfect Colorado blue bird day with bright yellow leaves at 8,500 feet!

I just wanted to say thank you again for the absolutely amazing wedding of my daughter Martha. I knew it was going to be good, but i couldn't have imagined just how wonderful it would be. From the gorgeous setting to the wonderful food to the amazing service - it was all amazing. You really made us feel special.

We've gotten some pictures back and they are confirming that it wasn't just my imagination - it was a stunning setting and a gorgeous celebration. Everyone who was there just raved about everything.

Thank you so much for helping make our daughter's wedding more beautiful than we ever could have dreamed it would be.

We can't say enough good things about the venue and the amazing and helpful staff! The lodge made everything so easy and walked us through everything, patiently answering our questions. All questions were answered immediately (great communication) and they made sure we did not miss any details in planning the reception. They were also immensely helpful with the ceremony execution since we had planned it ourselves and had no idea what we were doing. The food was amazing, which is rare for wedding food. All prices were very straight forward and clear and it ended up being a great value considering the beautiful setting, gourmet food, and personalized location. Thank you so much Wild Basin!!

I dont have enough time to write about how amazing the entire staff is at Wild Basin. I probably sent 12 emails a day to them, and they responded to every single one of them within half a day or less. They always picked up their phones and answered emails. This is oen of the biggest reasons we booked with them to begin with. They were the most responsive spot in Estes Park - which you definitly want for a wedding. I recommend using a wedding planner with this venue. We used Julie Lundy Event Design from Denver and she did a great job.

Everyone was very professional. The day was stress free for us. Wifi is not very good, but at the end of the day, you are in the mountains, and probably really dont need wifi. :) We got married at the meadow and it was incredibly beautiful. Like I sid, there isnt enough time to say enough wonderful things about thsi group! Our wedding was literally perfect. OH and the Chef!! Best food we have ever had. Go for a plated dinner...amazing amazing food. We also went with the enhanced package. The enhanced package did not alot for a lot of floral decoration. I think the enhanced packaged only included $45 per table centerpiece. This was a tad of a disappointment - so we ended up paying 1k extra to have larger center pieces. However, if flowers arent a big deal to you, the $45 per center piece would have been just fine. :)

Loved these guys, definitly coming back.

Wild Basin Lodge and Event Center is absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish my husband and I were impressed with every single aspect of the venue, staff, food, views, and accommodations. Not only are the views and venue exactly what we were looking for, but the staff is so incredible we don’t have words to explain what they did for us and mean to us.

Denise and her wonderful staff are so willing to accommodate every wish to the best of their ability. They made sure our wedding was everything we wanted and much, much more! We have nothing but amazing memories and gratitude for Wild Basin and the awesome staff. Denise even saved us from stress and averted a cake catastrophe from another vendor.

My husband and I cannot express how amazing this venue is for a stress-free, beautiful, memorable wedding. We got nothing but compliments from all our guests about the atmosphere, food, and Wild Basin staff (from the owner, to the bartender, and our amazing waiter). They made our day truly special with memories to last a lifetime.

Wild Basin is beyond amazing, from the gorgeous venue to the helpful staff. We were literally greeted with open arms and their dedication, warmth and graciousness continued. We live out of state and the WB team helped make the entire process seamless. The food was delicious (we chose brisket and fried chicken from the bbq meal selection) and all of our guests raved about the food and how kind all of the staff were, many said it was the best meal at a wedding they’ve ever had.
We chose vendors from the WB preferred vendor list, including Karrah Flores Photography and A DJ to Hire, Mike. Both were excellent. Mike took care of our day before change in ceremony music without a hitch. Karrah was phenomenal, she had a couple (us) who hated taking pictures yet made the process so much fun and effortless. She captured our personalities with the special moments. The guests were delighted with how Karrah got in the middle of the dance floor to get the fun dance pictures as well as engaging the little ones.
Our wedding was perfect and it was all due to the Wild Basin, their team and recommended vendors. The Wild Basin team have become an extension of our family and we are truly lucky to have found them as it is a rarity to find a place so genuinely caring and supportive in helping to make your dream day come true.

We had the best wedding ever here this past October 2014! What an amazing venue! Rustic, elegant, clean, friendly, easy, great food, and incredible ceremony sites. Denice and Niels are the owners and know how to make the entire experience as low stress as possible. You are provided a wedding coordinator who will "run" the show and they know all of your options on the day of events. The food was hands down a five star dinner that my guests are still raving about. The lodge has recently undergone a makeover and looks incredible. The rooms are very rustic looking and comfy. I would and have already recommended this venue to others.

My husband and I had our elopement ceremony at Wild Basin Lodge. We booked the venue sight unseen, so I was a bit nervous. Despite the fact that our booking with them was a bit last minute, Denice and her team made the whole process so easy and were unbelievably flexible both before and the day of our elopement. It is clear that the whole team really loves what they do and that comes out in all they do. We were treated like royalty on our special day even though it was just the groom and I. Instead of a "reception", the Wild Basin team created an amazing and romantic candlelight dinner- the food was truly the most delicious meal I've ever had.

The facility itself is amazing inside and out. We had planned to have our ceremony outdoors at the meadow location and it was lovely with a fresh snowfall. The river location is also very pretty. Because it was quite cold, we opted to say our vows in front of the large rock fireplace in the lodge covered in candles. It was beautiful!

I would also like to give a special shout out to Kate who gave us a tour the day before the elopement and who was there to take care of all our needs the day of. She was so kind and accommodating and I felt truly special thanks to her assistance throughout the afternoon and evening.

If you are looking for a venue in the Estes Park/Allenspark area, look no further. I really can't say enough about the whole experience. I'm very particular and I was WAY beyond pleased with our decision to have our elopement ceremony at Wild Basin Lodge! I can't say "thank you" or recommend this lovely venue enough!!!

We are so in love with Wild Basin! They have done everything possible so far to ensure that we are taken care of in every aspect of our wedding! We are amazed by the incredible experience and customer service that comes at such an affordable price - truly amazing value for a dream wedding experience! We were impressed right off the bat when they remembered us months after coming in for a short impromptu visit and treated us as part of the family even though we had not yet signed a contract at the time. We love the team and are so excited to have our wedding there!

This place is absolutely incredible! When we first went up to look at Wild Basin we were greeted with a warm hug from Nils and Denice. They welcomed us in as if we were family and they treated us that way through the entire planning process and day-of. They host tons of weddings a year and yet we felt as if our day was the most special of all of them. The food is amazing and we received multiple comments from guests on how impressed they were with the service and the food itself. They make it very easy to plan the wedding with a kitchen on-site and all tables, tablecloths, plate ware, etc. are provided for you so you don't need to bother with extra vendors. They made sure we were on track throughout the year by sending email reminders and a timeline to work from. They were very responsive and patient when I wrote them with question after question. The location is key! I can't even describe what a beautiful place this is. We decided to get married riverside while the aspens in the background were just starting to change colors. The staff is very friendly and made sure to have fun with our guests the day-of. I looked at other venues and nothing came close to Wild Basin. I can't thank them enough for such a perfect day!

I don't know if I could express the greatness of this venue and STAFF! Wild Basin Lodge is the best of the best! We were treated like family the second we arrived!! Being a out of state couple we were not able to see the venue before hand, this did not bother me one bit!! They provided me with unlimited amounts of advice and and photos via email.. There is not one email that wasn't answered with in 24 hours and I have A LOT, of them!! Besides the staff being the most amazing group of people the location is really out of a dream. It's so beautiful it takes your breath away. With the multiple locations to choose from on the property it's really hard to pick just one. Each spot has its own character and timeless beauty. WBL also provides package deals with photographer, flowers and officiants to choose from. This was awesome for me. The food was incredible, just incredible!! We had a tiny 11 person wedding and we can't wait to go back, renew our vows and show our friends and family where our dreams came true. Thank you WBL, you all are truly a great team!!!!!

We looked at virtually every venue in Colorado online that fit our criteria and narrowed it down to six. We scheduled a visit with Wild Basin Lodge first. We sat on a bench in the meadow, fell in love with it, and planned our wedding, but we were hesitant to book the first place we looked at. We decided to look at two more the following weekend, but knew they couldn’t compare to the first place we saw. I am so glad we made that decision.

First of all, know that when you book with Wild Basin, you will be the only wedding on that day. That was very important to us. . Second, the views simply cannot be beat. Regardless of which outdoor venue you choose, you will have a spectacular setting that can only be found in the mountains of Colorado. Third, the vendors that come with the enhanced package are fantastic.

But most of all, I would recommend this venue for the people (Denise, Neils, Laura, etc.) They invest themselves personally in each and every wedding. It started to rain about a half hour before our ceremony and I panicked. Never fear: they are prepared. They provided clear umbrellas for each guest and wiped off the benches for them. OH, I shouldn’t forget to mention how delicious the food was. Everything was fantastic- and that’s coming from two chubby people with a discerning palate- but we settled for a dual plating of steak and cornish hen for the guests and rack of lamb for the wedding party. The lamb isn’t on the general tasting menu, but they will make it for you if you put in a request. It may be the single most divine thing I’ve ever tasted.

Everyone is different, but I can say this: If your goal is to have a beautiful Colorado wedding that everyone will remember and you want a staff who will genuinely care about you and your wedding beyond the check you write, I cannot recommend the Wild Basin Lodge enough. If it weren’t so stressful, I’d plan a wedding here every year just to experience it again.

We could not be more thrilled with our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge! Our family and friends could not stop raving about the unique and breathtaking setting. The staff is simply amazing, they go above and beyond with everything that they do. They worked closely with us to make sure that our wedding day vision was achieved.

The lodge provided little touches that helped to make our day a unique event for everyone involved.

We truly felt adopted into the Wild Basin family, which made our day even more special. We were always greeted with a hug and a smile. Everyone is a team and it is clear that the employees take pride in their jobs.

The food was amazing, much, much more than your average 'wedding food'. The chef was so personable creating a custom sauce for us, and we loved that he served us our champagne to wish us well at the end of the night.

AMAZING place!

I've had the pleasure of working with Wild Basin Lodge both as a photographer, and as a father-of-the-bride when my daughter was married there. It's an incredible venue with the perfect combination of a stunning mountain setting, beautiful lodge and a wonderful staff. And their chef is world class. Meghan's wedding experience at Wild Basin was perfect...just absolutely perfect.

My husband and I got married at Wild Basin Lodge on July 16, 2014. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! They made everything so stress-free, including the planning leading up to it. Whenever I had a question in the planning stage they always replied promptly and were very helpful in answering all of my queries/concerns. The day of the wedding they helped out with timing of events and organization (our wedding coordinator provided by the lodge was so much help!) so I was able to enjoy the wedding and not stress about the little things going on.
It rained on our wedding day - I think this is every bride's nightmare. However, because the lodge commits itself to only hosting one wedding per day they were very flexible with the start time of the ceremony/reception. We ended up starting dinner early so that we could do our pictures later after the rain let up at the suggestion of our coordinator. Plus they have a plethora of very cute clear umbrellas at their disposal so we ended up with a ton of neat wedding shots from the day to celebrate the rain.
The food prepared by the chef at Wild Basin was phenomenal! We upgraded one of our entrees to the stuffed chicken breast and had the other as the steak - they were both so delicious! Our guests were raving about the food to us after the wedding.
We stayed in the King Honeymoon Suite the night of the wedding. The suite was huge - the bed was so comfortable! It was luxurious and perfect for our wedding night.
Everyone at the lodge was professional, courteous, friendly, helpful and happy. We couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere for our wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without the wonderful staff working behind the scenes to make it all happen. All of our family and friends were impressed with the venue, the location and the staff. We would highly recommend this establishment to other couples looking for a unique and rustic-chic (what one of our guests termed it) location for a lovely mountain wedding.

My husband and I were married at Wild Basin Lodge on 5/17/14. We consider ourselves very active, adventurous, and outdoorsy people who wanted to reflect that at our wedding. The WBL was the perfect site to capture the natural beauty and aura of the outdoors. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any help they could offer, supplies, advice, service, and so much more for an out-of-town wedding. The days leading up to the wedding were so UN-stressful thanks to the staff at hand. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. Thank you WBL!

My daughter and husband planned their destination wedding over a year ago. They were married June 14, 2014. My daughter and her husband are residents of Denver, family and guests traveled from all parts of the country to witness their special day.

IT WAS STRESS FREE! There are no words to describe the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, the venue and the reception other than PERFECT.

Included in our package was a bridal manager who took care of us beginning with the rehearsal and throughout the reception. She was a LIFE SAVER!

Leading up to the wedding the staff was always accessible. My daughter scheduled the tasting six months prior to the wedding, many of our questions were answered that very day.

My daughter and son-in-law's wedding was a beautiful event, made even more memorable because our needs were taken care of by the caring and attentive staff at the Wild Basin Lodge. We could sit back, relax and enjoy their very special day with our closest family and friends. And that's exactly exactly how a wedding day should be.

Thank you Wild Basin Lodge for making my daughter's dream wedding a reality!! Perfection!

My partner and I recently had our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge and had a truly lovely experience. The site is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the planning process was professional and smooth. The owner and staff were all brilliant and super friendly and helpful. The food was so good that I couldn't imagine eating another bite after the yummy dinner...until the midnight snack came. It is a lovely place to retreat to for a celebration, and the attentive and detail oriented staff ensured that I didn't have to spend my time worrying, and I could just relax and enjoy the event. I recommend staying overnight - the lodge is cozy and tasteful. (Thank you Wild Basin!)

Tim and I had our wedding at Wild Basin Lodge just this past Sunday, 4.27.14. It was such a great day! We had so much fun and that was mainly due to the staff at Wild Basin Lodge. I can't say enough about them! They were great! The only change that happened was the weather was not the best, so we had to change our outdoor ceremony to indoor. However, most of our guests told us they thought it was planned. The staff changed the ceremony so quickly. Everyone told us that the food was the best wedding food they ever had and everyone had so much fun. My husband and I couldn've have asked for a better place to have our wedding. Most importantly, my husband and I, had so much fun. Once we picked the venue, planning was so easy. Wild Basin Lodge has everything set for you, you just fill in the blanks. I would recommend Wild Basin Lodge to anyone planning a wedding in the Estes Park area. It is perfect! Thank you for making our day so special. Jodi & Tim Cook

My husband and I absolutely loved our wedding at the Wild Basin Lodge. Each part of the wedding planning process and the actual wedding itself were wonderful. Their communication was timely, they were organized and upfront about pricing and scheduling, they were kind, and they answered even my strangest questions without batting an eye. We were looking for a venue to hold a small, intimate wedding in February and I can't imagine a more perfect place. Their recommended vendors were also fantastic.The wedding day itself ran very smoothly and without a hitch, with so many people on deck to help us as we set up.

Thank you Wild Basin! We have such fond memories of our wedding.

Everyone dreams that their wedding day will be perfect. You go through months of planning to make sure every detail is set. We'll let me tell you IT DOES NOT MATTER! On Thursday September 12, the rain would not stop. Damns were breaking all over Lyons, Estes Park and the Wild Basin area. Needless to say, 1/2 the wedding guests couldn't make it, no photographer, no florist, no cake, no officiant. The only thing we had was each other, most of our family members and 4 AWESOME staff members from Wild Basin Lodge to put blood sweat and tears into trying to redeem the day. Denice and Nils (owners of the lodge) have the biggest hearts of anyone I have EVER met. Nils drove through a natural disaster to make sure we had flowers, Denice made ice cream from scratch to make sure we had something to shove in each other's faces. The two of them and two kitchen staff members cooked and served 20 of us and it was wonderful. I am so grateful that I chose this venue, from what I had hoped it would be to what it turned out to be. I know without a doubt that any other venue in the country wouldn't have gone through a natural disaster and persevered to perfection like they did. We gained a few more friends that day and everyone is safe. That is far more important than having perfect hair, perfect arrangements etc. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck....we had it! And now we are set for life! Thank you again and again Wild Basin! We love you!

I highly highly recommend the Wild Basin Lodge to any brides or grooms that want a top notch breathtakingly beautiful, fun, and romantic Colorado mountain wedding experience. I can't say enough positive things about the staff and owners and their high level of professionalism, customer service, and ability to make your wedding the most special and flawless day. They truly put everything they have into making your day exactly how you want it, are very organized and draw from year and years of experience, and make you feel like you are part of their family. The food is amazing - our guests are still talking about it! Many of our guests have told us that the meadow where we got married was the most beautiful ceremony site they have ever seen - and I absolutely agree. The venue has a rustic, yet classy and high quality ambiance. You don't need to do much decorating because the venue is so stunning as is! One of my favorite things about having our wedding at Wild Basin was taking advantage of the packages they offer. I avoided so much stress knowing that all of the set-up, clean-up, staffing, alcohol, dinnerware, linens, tables, chairs, etc. were all taken care of for me and felt at ease knowing that my vendors were very experienced with weddings at Wild Basin and came highly recommended by the staff. There are lots of great cabins within walking distance of the lodge which I highly recommend guests take advantage of. It was so my fun having 3 cabins full of our closest friends from out of town within walking distance of the lodge. If you haven't visited the lodge and you are looking for an unforgettable Colorado mountain wedding, you have to go visit! If you can't make it to see the place and are booking your wedding from afar, trust me, you will not be disappointed!
