Piece of Paradise

Our daughter was married at Black Canyon Inn-Boulders in June of 2026. We have family in Colorado and she went to school in Colorado. When she found BCI, we knew it was the perfect place for her wedding! It was a seamless process with Anna and the BCI team (especially since we live out of state). We had a vision of elegance for the day. I can say, it was a beautiful day. All of our guests said it was like a movie screen as they watched the ceremony. The reception was fun and sentimental. You will not regret having your once in a lifetime wedding at BCI!!

The Most Beautiful Venue!

This venue is absolutely beautiful and Emily is an amazing day-of-coordinator!! We had our wedding in late August at The Homestead and it truly felt like the perfect day. Emily helped us create our wedding timeline and communicated with our vendors ahead of time to ensure that the day would be stress-free and everyone had the information they needed. The Black Canyon Inn Wedding Team took care of all of the tables, chairs, linens, dishes, utensils, and hosted the bar, which was very helpful. I highly recommend booking with Black Canyon Inn for your wedding. Thank you for everything, Emily!!

The Most Beautiful Wedding Venue

I simply could not put into words how perfect our June 2026 wedding was at the Black Canyon Inn, thanks to our day-of coordinator Anna. Anna and her whole team are detail-oriented, patient, professional, and truly some of the kindest, most friendly people you will meet in your wedding planning experience. The team was available throughout the planning process and had excellent, fast communication with all of my questions. Anna brought my dreams to life and kept our day running so smoothly. I felt so at peace and taken care of knowing that we had an amazing team behind the scenes day-of. The Boulders at the Black Canyon Inn was a stunning venue for our 111 person wedding, and we kept getting compliments all night that it was the most beautiful venue and the best food guests had ever experienced. If I could relive this day over and over, I would. We are so thankful for Anna and the team at the Black Canyon Inn, and could not recommend it more highly.

Perfect ceremony

Black Canyon Inn is absolutely breathtaking. We wanted mountain views without requiring our guests to hike or travel somewhere difficult, and this venue was perfect. Anna was wonderful throughout the planning process. She was quick to respond, answered every question we had, was happy to accommodate every request we had, and made sure our ceremony went perfectly. We truly couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful place to get married or a better coordinator.

June 2026 wedding

We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding venue than Black Canyon Inn. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning mountain views that made every moment feel magical. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was picture-perfect, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the setting was.

What truly made our experience exceptional was Anna, our wedding coordinator. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it would be. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and calm presence helped make the entire planning process stress-free. On our wedding day, she handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes so that we could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends.

If you’re looking for a venue with unforgettable views and a coordinator who truly goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend Black Canyon Inn and Anna highly enough. They exceeded every expectation and helped create memories we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Best Day of our lives

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. The property, the outdoor views, the food, the professionalism, everything was truly 10/10. We were also incredibly lucky to be paired with our wedding coordinator, Anna, and she was nothing short of amazing. Leading up to our wedding day, she was communicative, punctual, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Anna always made sure my wife and I felt comfortable, informed, and completely taken care of every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, she checked in on us constantly, made sure we needed for nothing, and helped our family and guests feel completely at home. She went above and beyond in every possible way. By the end of it all, we felt like we hadn’t just worked with a wedding coordinator, we had gained a friend.

We truly cannot recommend this venue enough. Black Canyon Inn will make sure you, your partner, and your guests have a day you will never forget.
Thank you Black Canyon Inn!

Black Canyon Inn

I can’t speak highly enough of the Black Canyon Inn Wedding Venue! They were incredibly professional throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding and were proactive in getting everything planned. They make the process of planning a wedding much easier than a typical venue.

The day of the wedding was incredible too. The venue is perfectly sized to hold up to 200 people and provides beautiful scenery to highlight the ceremony. The reception also went smoothly and the food was absolutely incredible. The entire staff was professional and responsive; we could tell their goal was to make the reception perfect.

Lastly, our venue coordinator, Anna, was incredible. She offered insight both leading up to and during the ceremony that was invaluable. Her hard work behind the scenes during the ceremony and reception ensured that all went smoothly. She was incredible and made our day so much better!

Heaven on Earth

This venue has it all. The option for an indoor wedding but with the ability to open doors for the outside atmosphere was exactly what we wanted and needed. The views were incredible but what truly made our day was the staff. Terisa is a god send in planning. Details I wasn’t sure on she helped with so efficiently. She understood the hectic process and was flexible in any changes we had. Originally planning for 200 guests and only have 80 seemed like such a change but it turned out perfect. Even the kitchen staff were dancing with us by the end of the night. So much fun, laughter, and smiles. Not a single hiccup the day of because of how amazing the staff and venue were. Highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a gorgeous night without breaking the bank.

Perfect wedding

Not sure where to even begin! ANNA! We can’t thank you enough for ALL that you did to make our day perfect. She was the sweetest, so professional, and responsive. She even worked with me on every single details we wanted for our wedding… and there was a lot. People always say: something will go wrong on your day, and to now worry. BUT I can honestly say we have absolutely no issue or problems on my day! It was because or the staff and ANNA. It gos without saying this venue was one of the most beautiful venues, but it’s better when the staff matches the elegance of the venue! Couldn’t say a enough good things! L

My dream wedding!!

Our wedding at the Black Canyon was absolutely perfect and turned out even better than we imagined. We chose the Boulders venue and received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing and attentive the crew was. Our coordinator, Anna, made it so easy for us and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Also, Gilberto, Jorge, Francisco, Edith, Diego, and the rest of the black canyon team were so fun and we loved having them work our wedding. I strongly recommend choosing the Black Canyon Inn!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
