If you are looking for an incredible team, they are the best!

I can't say enough good things about our experience at the Colony House. While we ended up ultimately choosing another venue, we were beyond impressed with the staff at the Colony House. Shane Fitzgerald was responsive, accommodating, and incredibly helpful during our venue search process. We would highly recommend the Colony House to a friend for a headache-free wedding planning experience.

Wonderful wonderful experience :)

The Colony House was our second booked venue after our original venue was sold and no longer doing weddings. As sad as we were, I think this was truly best case scenario because we loved The Colony House! Day of, everything went through without a single issue (if there were issues- I was never aware of them) and all the staff was amazing. The food was absolutely incredible- we had the Agave Pasilla Chile Chicken and Grilled Swordfish for our entrees and all of our guests raved about the food, especially the swordfish. The menu tasting experience itself a few months before was wonderful too. We had specific drinks we wanted at the bar (Pineapple Moscow Mule & Spicy Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita) which we did have to pay extra for since the ingredients were not normally stocked, but the bartenders made bomb drinks! They were also very accommodating for me to use rentals from the company I work for (MTB Event Rentals). There was only one small hiccup when the final walkthrough came, there was some miscommunication amongst their staff about who was going to help us during the final walkthrough. Thankfully we had a wonderful planner (Erica from Fawn Events) who took care of clarifying any future potential miscommunications. All in all, I highly recommend this venue, it was perfect for our wedding day :)

Great wedding at The Colony House

We loved having our wedding at The Colony House! Picking a venue is one of the most important parts of planning your wedding since it sets the tone for the whole look and feel of the day. When we came for our tour, we knew it would be perfect. We wanted a space that would work for the reception and the ceremony without needing to be outside. This was it! We loved the upstairs loft and outside patio for cocktail hour and our guests loved the amazing succulent wall for photo opps. The staff were very helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner, which is important as a bride! The food was soooo delicious! Truly, amazing! We read other reviews that mentioned bad sound inside the venue. I was really concerned about this since my husband is an audio engineer. I knew we could not have a venue with bad sound, but actually we didn’t encounter a single issue during our ceremony or reception. We had almost 160 people at our wedding and the room was the perfect size. Everyone on staff with was super kind and friendly. Service staff also came up and congratulated me throughout the night, which I thought was so sweet. We’re so happy we chose the Colony House for our wedding!
