Excellent experience

We had such a wonderful experience with Pinecrest. All the staff was timely, excellent with communication, flexible, helpful, and accommodating. The chapel and reception hall were beautiful, and I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. Pinecrest had so many decorations I could use, and all the vendors were extremely easy to work with. I would recommend Pinecrest to all!

Absolutely fantastic!

My experience at Pinecrest in the beautiful location of Palmer Lake was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The team at Pinecrest was exceptionally well-organized and incredibly friendly.

The venue itself was breathtaking, with a stunning bridal suite and the chapel for our ceremony was an absolute dream. Every detail was meticulously crafted, and all of the vendors involved were not only kind but truly amazing at what they do.

Their all-inclusive package was not only worth every penny but also very reasonably priced. Opting for this package was one of the best decisions we made. The highlight of our culinary experience was Bird Dog BBQ, included in the package. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food!

Moreover, the decor added a wonderful touch to the ambiance, enhancing the beauty of the venue even more. Our wedding day was perfect, and I truly believe it's because of the venue's planning and attention to detail.

A special shoutout to Danny, Faith, Russell, and Sara, our Day of Coordinator, who was nothing short of AMAZING! Sara ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day.

I can't recommend Pinecrest enough to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our day truly the best day of our lives.

Incredible wedding experience

Value + ease of vendor selection + quality of preferred vendors (amazing, elevated plated dinner from Buffalo Gals and unbelievable flowers from Stacey's Bloomers) + gorgeous mountain setting + DAY OF COORDINATOR extraordinaire Rochelle = flawless. Only possible drawback is it's not close to hotels, so you'll pay a little more for transport if you're shuttling your guests (30m from Manitou to Palmer Lake).

Thank you Pinecrest crew for being such a joy to work with and helping customize our day!

The best day of our lives!

We loved our entire experience with Pinecrest! The venue was beautiful and the entire team at Pinecrest made planning our wedding as smooth as it could possibly be. Our coordinator was fantastic and made sure everything was taken care of leading up to the wedding, the day of and even made sure WE were take care of. Our wedding day felt absolutely perfect to us.

Wedding Planning Made Easy

Getting married at the Pinecrest was a dream! One of our concerns was how stressful wedding planning can be, and our coordinator Rochelle made the process so smooth and easy. When you book with the Pinecrest, they have a selection of vetted vendors who frequently work with them, you have a day of coordinator help go through details, and they made it very easy to stay on budget. Not to mention, the venue is absolutely gorgeous with a white washed chapel and beautiful wood reception hall. The day was everything we could've dreamed of!!!

Dream wedding

Pinecrest Weddings & Event Center exceeded our expectations more than we could of ever imagined. Nothing went wrong on our special day thanks to all the staff involved. The day best to describe it was a dream. My day of coordinator (Jessica) was amazing. All the vendors provided were also amazing. The timeline that was set was awesome and everything was just simply perfect to sum it up. Pricing is absolutely reasonable for the day we had. The location is stunning, and staff was extremely helpful. 10/10 would recommend to anyone getting married looking for a venue, or even a family event.

Best venue!

We got married at Pinecrest in August 2022 and had the absolute best experience. The team was so kind, supportive, flexible, and helpful in guiding us through the wedding planning process. Pinecrest has everything we could have asked for--reasonable prices, all-inclusive options, delicious catering, an amazing day-of coordinator, and beautiful views. It was the perfect venue for us. I would recommend this venue over and over and over again, book it and you won't regret it!!!

Best All-Inclusive Venue on the Front Range!

Pinecrest was the absolute perfect place for us to have our wedding. Being all-inclusive, they took care of every detail and seriously made all of the nightmare stories you hear about wedding planning seem made up. I cannot express how amazing every one of their staff was, especially our Day of Coordinator, Rochelle, who helped us plan every step of the way and was an absolute rock star on our special day.
The location was exactly what we were looking for as it was perfectly situated between major airports and was easily accessible for guests who were traveling in from out of town. The grounds and surrounding scenery made for beautiful pictures, and you can see from the photos on their website, the venue buildings are absolutely gorgeous.
The food and florist vendors were incredible. All of our guests loved the idea of the food truck and were really impressed with Stoke Pizza and their awesome food and appetizers. We also couldn't have asked for a better selection of desserts from Sugarplum Cake Shoppe and our bridal cake turned out so adorable! Stacey's Bloomers did incredible with the bouquets. They were everything I imagined, and she even included succulents, so I was able to remove and repot them afterwards. I still tear up when I see them in my kitchen each day reminiscing on how magical of a day it was.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful of an experience Pinecrest made getting married. Each person was very easy to work with and staff were always available to answer any questions that we had along the way. They also were so great at adapting to changes that came up on our end while planning.
Overall, I would recommend anyone who is looking for an all-inclusive, beautiful, easy-to-access venue that truly does it all for you, to use Pinecrest for their wedding. We would not have changed anything about our wedding day and know that many other couples will find this to be the perfect place for them to celebrate their special day, as well!
