Dream Wedding Weekend

There is an overwhelming sense of comfort on your big, stressful day to have someone in your corner, and that was Kate. She was fully in control, a voice of calm on the day to make sure that the routine went off without a hitch. Everything was taken care of by her and her lovely team. Our people LOVED this venue - it was so nice to have a place where people could get to know one another and enjoy activities whilst doing so. It was so great to have so many people on the ranch grounds with us, and those that couldn’t fit had zero issue staying at the La Quinta nearby (and could even get Ubers back there at 3AM!).

The only note I’d give you as a heads up is sort out the extra, paid-for activities far in advance. It was unclear that outsiders could book up horse rides or that outside vendors needed to be secured for fishing or skeet shooting. Squares this away early and lock your people in. We cannot wait to have our wedding reunion here someday, what a special, beautiful place. Highly recommend!!

Best day of our lives!!

The venue was absolutely stunning and made for a peaceful and relaxing wedding! The staff was very friendly and attentive to all of our needs. Communication was excellent I knew I could always reach out if I had any questions. I would highly recommend to other couples looking for a mountain style wedding! Our biggest wish was to find a venue with a river in the mountains and this place far surpassed what we could have asked for! It gave the feel of summer camp being able to spend the whole weekend with our families! Listening to the river during the ceremony was the best calming feeling I could have asked for!

Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch is one of the best venues in Colorado! Every area in this large, rambling property has incredible natural views, from the river to the canyon walls to the horse pastures and the peaks. On top of that, the whole staff is absolutely incredible. Wedding coordinators Ge and Sarah take care of the needs of everyone; they are responsive and on top of every detail. Even though they're working hard to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly for all guests, they also take care of their vendors, keeping everyone apprised of the plans and making sure we're fed and hydrated. We appreciate this so much--they are not only making their guests happy, but they're making sure that all the vendors at a wedding can give our mutual clients the best possible service. We'll be happy to photograph events at Sylvan Dale absolutely any time! Thanks to everyone there! --Heather and Gunnar
