Mountain Magic

We couldn't be more happy with our decision to have our wedding at Lucky 8. The ranch, view, and surrounding area are stunning (at any time of year). Nick, Emily, and the rest of the staff we're the best vendors we worked for our big day. They are easy to work with, very accommodating, knowledgable, and very hard working.

The quality of the amenities provided, from the tent to the restrooms to the bars, is top notch. Lucky 8 has an incredible amount of decorations, furniture, games, and more that you can choose from to really make the venue your own. Nick has some features that we could not find anywhere else, that truly made our day so perfect (horse drawn carriage for our ceremony exit).

While we had some weather before the ceremony, the staff at Lucky 8 was quick to adapt and ensure everything went smoothly.

They even have some very special and memorable things for the bride and groom to do on their big day that brand their love at the ranch forever.
