My wedding was Magical!

Wedding venue of my dreams
Dream Wedding Weekend
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!!
Everyone was fantastic. Kate the wedding coordinator was amazing and the staff were kind and thoughtful. We had such a good time and it was a stunning
Best day of our lives!!

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
