Incredible!

Black Canyon Inn was a wonderful place to get married and they worked incredibly hard to make my day special. Our experience with Black Canyon was excellent. Corinne was informative, quick to reply to any initial inquiries and a pleasure to book with. My coordinator, well, there just isn’t enough time, space or words to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Terisa. I could not have asked for a better individual to help with my day! If you cooperate with Terisa and get her the information she asks for, this woman will WORK for you. This wedding is your ship and when you hire Terisa, she is there to help you run it, and run it she WILL. She calls you 2 weeks before the wedding day to go over things and help make a timeline, she makes sure all guests are seated before you start the ceremony, she helps with the processional timing, has drinks waiting for you directly after the ceremony and that’s just a few examples. She truly goes above and beyond. I told her when I wanted my guests seated in the reception hall and when I wanted the food being served and you best believe she made it happen. She responded to my emails within 24 hours – except for maybe one that was over a weekend. You’re in exceptional hands with this staff.

The catering staff is simply wonderful! They made sure my husband and I were taken care of, checked in with us periodically, was super sweet to our guests and even joined in on a dance. All the staff there was just so incredibly sweet and happy and it only added to an amazing reception. Also, every single vendor I booked attested to how amazing the food was here and they were NOT wrong. I had guests coming up to me all night and raving about the food! I have never had food that good at a wedding before and every guest echoed the same sentiment. 99% of our guests were from states away and spent a lot of money to celebrate our special day with us, so it was important to us to give them a great time, free drinks and good food. Black Canyon catering did not let us down!

They even have things set up that regardless of rain, snow or shine, your wedding can proceed with minimal interruption. Plus - this view is hard to beat!!!

The most beautiful perfect weekend!

We had the most amazing wedding this weekend in Estes this past weekend! Most people want to get married in the summer or fall but our March wedding was beautiful! In the 50s and sunny skies all weekend! Only snow we had was on the mountain tops.

The Boulders: I cried when I walked in during our tour. I knew it was the spot! They were incredibly helpful during the planning process, they give you a coordinator, food was delicious and oh what a gorgeous view! They made everything just perfect on our day and throughout the weekend that we stayed. We also did our welcome party at the Homestead the night before and it was a hit! They even gave us extra meals at the end of the night to enjoy in case we hadn’t eaten! Amber and Corinne are rockstars and made everything so easy.

Unreal views and amazing service/coordination!

We are over the moon with Black Canyon Inn! We had our wedding here at The Boulders venue and it was absolutely to die for. Stunning views, gorgeous building with timeless fixtures and decor, and every space is intentional and beautiful. Enjoy the sights in comfort with no risk of feeling removed from the immersion!

Their wedding staff is FANTASTIC, could not recommend more. Between setup, providing tables, linens, bar and staffing, catering, and more, for an incredible price our wedding felt so easy and the outcome felt luxurious!! I basically just had to provide flowers and entertainment, LOL. Food was so good, was getting compliments all night that it was the best wedding food anyone has ever had, and I agree. I'll be craving our wedding dinner for life!

We had a small 12 person wedding, and while this venue can definitely accommodate more, we felt the size was perfect for this number of guests. We had an absolute blast.

We can't wait to return again for an anniversary. The views are just unmatched and the lodging options are incredible as well.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
