Magnificent Venue!

We recently had our wedding and reception here in June, and I must say, the venue is magnificent and the entire staff did an amazing job all around! We could not be happier with everything. Some of the reviews mentioned the price being high, but we feel the opposite. Our wedding was small, only 25 guests, and the cost for the venue and food was extremely reasonable compared to other venues. Some of the other venues in town offer a pretty facility with nice views but nothing else, for a minimal price of $10,000! Estes Park Resort is a one stop shop with amazing views, delightful food and excellent bar staff! Maritza was there the entire time making sure everything went smoothly, we have zero complaints! Thank you Maritza and Jordon, you've given us memories to last a lifetime!

Wow just wow

BLEW ME AWAY!!! We have been to Estes a # of times but never to the EP resort so we did this blind. The ceremony was at the gazebo with a mountain backdrop and the reception was at the pavilion. Everything was beautiful but what really made is special were the beautiful people who will always be a part of our special day. Cindy, the event coordinator was funny, down to earth and cool as a cucumber. Even her staff, Kyle and Tony were great guys that made everything easy. Andy (Dunraven) and Karen (GM of resort) are not to be forgotten. Thank you all for everything. Food was delicious. I had no tasting so I was going in blind and was blown away!!! You guys will always be in the memories ( and some photos) of our special day.

Best Venue!!

We couldn't be happier that we had our wedding here! The entire staff is absolutely wonderful!!! Their attention to detail and desire to go above and beyond for everyone is unmatched. Jessica A. is so amazing, we loved getting to meet and work with her. She will make sure everything goes exactly how you want it to, and she will do it with the biggest, friendliest smile on her face! Not to mention, the views for our wedding were stunning. Also, the food at our reception was delicious. All of our guests comments on how great everything was. We had the salmon and steak as options with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. There wasn't one complaint. In fact, some guests are trying to recreate the salmon, lol! If you are looking for a beautiful venue with staff that will do everything they can to make your day perfect, absolutely get married here! Thank you to everyone here for making our day so perfect!

Impressed!!!

I had my rehearsal dinner here for my winter wedding on a Friday evening. Kaleigh and her team did amazing!!! They went above and beyond. I had more guests than anticipated and they adjusted to that easily. I also was on a budget and worried about not having enough decoration. Kaleigh and her team stepped in and decorated, fixed my photos and setup the room for us which helped ease my stress. The food was delicious. My guests were happy and we were happy!!! As long as you have Kaleigh as your contact you are in great hands. Thank you for a dream wedding weekend!!!

An Amazing Wedding Reception!

The Estes Park Resort is amazing! We had our wedding reception there and everyone who helped us plan from our first wedding venue search visit to Estes Park to the end of our wedding day was amazing. It was a destination wedding where our entire bridal party and the rest of our guests were coming from 7 different states. They were very accommodating in regards to room requests. We had about a dozen rooms and all of our guests enjoyed their stay. From bartender, to chef, to Front Desk Supervisor, to the Sales Director, it was a team effort that felt like the entire resort staff was all working together to provide personalized service to ensure all our requests were met. Our wedding reception was everything we hoped for and more!

We had our morning after brunch here. It was spectacular! We had it upstairs in a space with a beautiful view. Free flow mimosas and a carving station. It was a perfect ending to our wedding in the mountains!! We had family up from all over the country, so we were thankful for just one more intimate meal. It was perfect!

We LOVED our time at Estes Park Resort for our February Wedding. We held our rehearsal dinner here, and also used them for some of our room blocks. All our guests raved about their amazing staff and service, and loved the food at our rehearsal dinner. Our friends had a great time at the bar, and appreciated that their hotel rooms were placed close to the rehearsal dinner space and bar space during their weekend stay. We would most definitely recommend them to anyone, and will be returning in the future. The location is convenient and beautiful, and the staff was such a joy to work with!

The resort itself is beautiful and in a great setting but it was the staff that made my son and daughter in law's wedding reception perfect. The Chef was outstanding and Kevin and Sophia (Management Staff) could not have been more supportive or worked harder. The reception was a complete success and the entire staff from management to servers were accommodating and had great "can do" attitudes. I can highly recommend the Estes Park Resort.

I had my June wedding at the Estes Park Resort and I couldn't be happier. They were always very responsive and flexible to make sure my day was everything I had envisioned. The event coordinator, wedding coordinator, servers, bartenders, front desk workers (basically everyone!) was so helpful and professional. The Estes Park Resort made my wedding weekend one that I will always remember!!
