We had our July 4, 2020 wedding at the Craftwood Inn. It was at times harrowing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brian and David were more than willing to work with us and as they say, “All’s well that ends well.”
The Craftwood is a beautiful facility with varied opportunities. We planned to do our vows on the lawn with Pikes Peak in the background. The afternoon rain put an end to that but because of the wide variety of options we were able to do a properly socially distanced ceremony on the second floor.
Brian and David were so easy to work with on what was really an unusual wedding. We called it a Fourth of July party with the vows thrown in. We wanted a picnic type menu and they were able to fully accommodate our wishes. Kudos to the staff - bartender, servers, DJ, they are truly excellent The hurricane ice cream dessert station wowed our guests and us too.
All said and done: excellent hosts, excellent staff, easy to work with all around. You made our day every bit as special as we could have hoped for it to be.

Trust in the Team
My husband and I wanted no stress, simple elegance and that's exactly what we got at Craftwood. Brian and his team were kind, professional and tasteful. The best part was that the food, cake, dj and flowers were all taken care for us. Brian set up the appointments to personalize to our designs. Trust them! They know affordable, refined elegance. We are so happy with our memories!

The food is absolutely amazing, the DJ was amazing, the cake was made perfectly, and our flowers were perfect. There was a little hiccup with our flowers but Brian, the owner, handled it very professionally and let us know as far in advance as he could and everything went smooth. The venue is absolutely gorgeous the food is so amazing, you get the food the DJ the cake the flowers all in your package. Brian was so flexible and worked with our outside vendors.
