Literally, stop looking for venues and get married here

I highly recommend having your wedding at The Pinery! From beginning to end, the process was so easy. Since the venue is all-inclusive, all of your vendors are in one place. They provide you with a timeline so you know when to schedule meetings, who to contact, when to make payments, etc. Everyone we worked with was so friendly. Our coordinator was Michelle, and she was the best. She was stress free the entire time, made sure all of our details were in place, and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding. She brought us appetizers after we took photos, grabbed extra gluten free desserts from the back, and we were able to sit back and enjoy the day without worrying where we needed to be.

The venue itself is gorgeous. We got married in February, and knew we would need to be inside since the weather might be bad. The interior is gorgeous, and once decor and flowers were added, it was beyond anything I could imagine. I made my own flowers and brought in some table decor, and the floral folks were able to put together amazing bouquets and centerpieces. You also can't beat that view of Pikes Peak. The price was also very reasonable, especially when compared to other venues in the state (and we looked at a ton of them). The food is excellent. I legit can't get over how good it was. Our guests are still raving about the food and desserts.

We had a killer time on the dance floor as well! Karson knows what he's doing and knows how to get a crowd dancing. He was a great MC, and again, we did not have to worry about anything day of.

Seriously, go tour The Pinery. I don't know how you can find a better place to have your wedding.

Best Decision We Made – Dream Wedding at The Pinery!

The Pinery at the Hill is a dream come true. From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Michelle, our coordinator, was an absolute lifesaver—so organized, calm, and responsive. As a busy bride and groom, we couldn’t have asked for a better planner to keep everything running smoothly and on time.

Liese’s floral work was stunning—she truly brought our vision to life with her artistry and attention to detail.
Angela, our DJ, was phenomenal and kept the energy high all night.

But what our guests can’t stop talking about is the FOOD. The chef and baker is truly world-class—every single dish was incredible, and people are still raving (and even dreaming!) about the meal and desserts.

Everyone was flexible, professional, and incredibly kind. We felt supported, celebrated, and stress-free thanks to the amazing team at the Pinery. If you're getting married in Colorado Springs, this is your venue!

Wedding Painting at The Pinery

I am a wedding painter and just painted a wedding at the Pinery! It is a beautiful venue, clean, elegant and has wonderful service. There is easy, ample parking, so its easy for guests and large parties to access. It's close to town, and easy to get to. I love the chapel and how it is literally steps from the reception site, and bathroom. It is an all in one perfect spot for a wedding. Highly recommended!! I hope to paint more weddings here in the future!

Incredible Location & Team for our Dream Day :)

Michelle and the Pinery team was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are both military, stationed on opposite sides of the country and our families live in TX. We decided to get married in CO and we couldn't have found a better venue for all of our wedding desires. From the initial planning, Michelle was very organized and responsive. The Pinery made it simple when it came to deciding floral, table settings, cake and food tasting, and all the details in between. My husband and I were able finalize all of those details in one day at the Pinery! We had Zoom meetings with the DJ and were in contact with Michelle and the rest of the team before our big day. Amidst work schedules and planning for our big day, Michelle was the best day of wedding coordinator! We are so thankful for the Pinery. It was a beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception, accommodating, and all around delightful. We highly recommend it. :)

Have your wedding at The Pinery!

If you are getting married in Colorado Springs, you need to host your event at The Pinery! Their coordinator and entire staff are the best of the best! They make the planning process stress free and efficient and listen to what you want for your day and turn it into reality! The flowers and decor, food, cake, music, and atmosphere were incredible. We were blown away by the professionalism of the staff and quality of the service we received. We continue to have our guests reach out to us about what a great time they had. We are so grateful that we had our wedding at The Pinery. We treasure our experience and memories from that day thanks to the staff and venue.

The Best Team!

PLANNING
We were a little nervous going into the planning process since we were planning a destination wedding but Michelle, the venue’s wedding coordinator/manager, made everything absolutely perfect. We flew in to Colorado Springs for a day leading up to the wedding and she lined up meetings with the venue, florist, caterer for the food tasting and baker for the cake tasting all in one day back to back. We were also able to send several packages to the venue to avoid bringing them on our flight in, which we appreciated so much. One of the packages required a signature for delivery but no one was available to receive it at that time. Michelle took the situation into her own hands and went to the post office to pick up the package before it was sent back to the original sender – we were/are SO THANKFUL! She went above and beyond to make sure our day went exactly as planned. She even read the lengthy booklet of instructions I had provided that detailed where I envisioned everything being placed and what I wanted to leave the venue with at the end of the night. She 100% nailed everything.

FLORAL
I knew exactly what I wanted my floral to look like to the point that I ordered pampas grass from Ukraine and burnt orange silk flowers from China to get the look I was going for. I was very specific in my request that I only wanted champagne color floral, greenery, dried palms, dried bunnies and pops of burnt orange from the floral I had shipped in. Aside from a champagne flower that pulled a little on the pink side (the main part of the flower was champagne but the tops of it were a light shade of pink), the florist did a GREAT job taking my vision and bringing it to life. They bent over backwards to ensure every pink-ish flower was pulled from any and all arrangements. They also fluffed the arrangements to make them look like that’s how they were supposed to be. At the end of the day – they were GORGEOUS and EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you to Liese and the floral team for being patient with me and my bridesmaids (who are pickier than I am) and bringing my vision to life. They were PERFECT!

THE FOOD
I was extremely nervous about how the food was going to turn out for dinner. I’ve been to quite a few weddings and the vast majority of them had mediocre food at best. We also wanted to make sure my dad enjoyed the food that night. He’s where I get my pickiness from. He initially requested that he get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner because it was “safe” and he knew he would like it. LOL Luckily, no peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were requested after he tasted dinner, AND he was bragging on how delicious the food was that night (and for weeks after). We received a lot of compliments on how great the food was from all of our friends and family. We might be biased but it was the best food we’ve had at a wedding BY FAR.

THE CAKE
We didn’t want the traditional wedding cake so we asked for a cinnamon roll wedding cake. It was unique, cute and DELICIOUS. My husband also requested a Fall Out themed groom’s cake. For those who know what I’m talking about, he requested a bottle cap design. She did a great job on the design and the cake was so yummy.

THE DJ
Wow, we had a PARTY. The DJ followed my song requests for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and party songs to a T. He also knew exactly when and how to transition the songs and he played the best end of night song – all of our guests made a giant circle around the dance floor singing to Journey. He kept the energy up the whole night and we had a BLAST!

OVERALL
We LOVE The Pinery at the Hill. Their all-inclusive experience made wedding planning simple and The Pinery team executed our vision flawlessly. If you’re considering this venue or another, I strongly recommend that you choose The Pinery at the Hill for your big day.

If I could re-live this day, I would. Team 100% included.

Thank you for your professionalism, calm demeanor, and for making our wedding day everything we could have asked for and more.

Sincerely,
The Cavanaughs

No regrets, only the best!

My husband and I toured several different venues before ultimately booking The Pinery at The Hill for our wedding in May of this year. Other venues we toured only allotted half days for a much higher cost. In addition, all of the amenities provided in The Pinery’s wedding packages were an important requirement because we didn’t want each other (or family members) worrying about anything except celebrating!
It is not an exaggeration when I say, this venue is utterly beautiful and elegant. It was everything we were looking for! There was not a spot at this venue that was unattractive for photos. The view of downtown Colorado Springs and The Rocky Mountains is the cherry on top. Our guests were incessantly complementing our choice in having our wedding celebration here.
If the pristine venue itself doesn’t sell you, the team makes it a no-brainer. Michelle and the entire staff at The Pinery were absolutely fantastic! Everyone was extremely professional and accommodating. Michelle and Liese made sure to respond to ALL of my emails in a timely manner, answering any questions we had, and happily made adjustments when we asked.
It’s clear that everyone employed at the Pinery takes pride in what they do. We truly felt like we were in great hands during the entire planning process and the day of our wedding. Michelle arranged for my husband and I to have a few minutes alone after the ceremony to take a breather and she even brought us some hors d’oeuvres to snack on before our grand entrance. Furthermore, she had our barely-touched dinner boxed up for us to take home.
It’s the little things that meant a lot to us.
I could rant and rave about The Pinery at The Hill for much longer but I trust you’ll see the magic for yourself when you choose them for your celebration!
You won’t regret it!

Amazing, beautiful, wonderful!

I cannot say enough good things about The Pinery at the Hill and their amazing staff! The road to our wedding was a little bit bumpy due to the pandemic, we had our original plan ready to go and a month before our date, we decided to postpone. Michelle so amazing to work with throughout our 2 and a half year planning process. She was easy to communicate with, very accommodating, and listened to everything I wanted. Our big day finally came and it went off without a hitch! The staff was warm and welcoming to all our guests, Michelle worked behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly, and the venue was gorgeous. The day was beyond any of my expectations and I am so pleased we chose to go with the Pinery! I could not recommend this venue enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
