CHEROKEE RANCH & CASTLE Reviews

Since we first visited Cherokee Ranch & Castle, we were greeted by Donna Smith and she made us feel instantly at home!

Through every step of the process, she was there and made us feel as though we had someone on our side at all times. Due to the pandemic, we, along with so many couples, were trying to figure out what to do, and she was supportive the entire way and there when we needed her.

We did end up postponing from Summer of 2020 to Summer of 2021, but staying with this venue was never in question because we can't imagine being in better hands for our big day than with Donna and the team at Cherokee Ranch and Castle.

I highly recommend the location and know that if Donna is by your side you will be in wonderful hands. We can't wait to fully celebrate with everyone there very soon and know it will be magical!

We were married at the magnificent Castle on June 25th 2021. What an amazing place for a wedding. Every aspect of the Cherokee Ranch and Castle was spectacular. It was a perfect celebration and we cannot recommend it enough. Donna was wonderful and very helpful the entire way through. She listened to what we wanted, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was extra special even when the weather didn't cooperate. It was our fairytale wedding! More than we dreamed of and we couldn't be happier.

My husband and I just got married at Cherokee Ranch & Castle this June and we couldn't be happier with our choice! It hit everything on our check list! First off, the location is just stunning. It sold us the moment we visited. The breath taking mountain views, serenity, beautiful white tent, and historical castle are straight out of a fairy tale. Second, the remote but close location to Denver gave us the feel of being in the mountains without driving it (this was great for our out of town guests). Third, Having the entire place & staff to ourselves on wedding day was such a gift. It made our wedding feel so intimate. Fourth, the castle gives you the flexibility to make the day all your own. We were able to pick our caterer, beverages, rentals, ceremony and reception locations, back up plans, and the start and end time of our wedding. Finally, The staff are AWESOME. I can't say enough kind things about Isabelle and the castle team. They were so helpful along the way. Thank you to all at Cherokee Castle & Ranch!

Having our wedding at Cherokee Ranch & Castle was truly a dream come true!!! If you are looking for a unique and magical wedding venue with a spectacular view of the mountains, look no further! From the moment my husband and I stepped onto the Castle grounds, we knew it was the most perfect venue for our wedding reception. We had a destination wedding with guests coming from far and wide (many of which hadn't been to Denver before). Having our reception here provided our guests with a gorgeous Colorado setting like no other! The grounds, the historical artifacts and spectacular views are all incredible. Isabelle Kline was our wedding planner but also served as our point of contact at Cherokee. She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was beyond perfect. Despite weather complications and traffic delays, Isabelle and the Cherokee team ensure that everything went off without a hitch. Our guests adored the venue and I highly recommend it (and Isabelle) for your wedding!

Finding the right venue for our destination wedding was crucial. We toured every venue through the eyes of our guests and without a doubt Cherokee blew us away. There was so much to see and take part from the moment you drive in. I can go on and on about the castle, the history but the view is truly jaw dropping and takes your breath away. Once in this magnificent century old castle you feel like you are in another world.
We honestly felt so honored to have found this location and that we were able to create such a flawless wedding. We also were very, very lucky to have planned with one of the best planners you can only dream of Isabelle Kline. She takes the time to help the castle but she is also there if you need her and she makes sure of it along with her amazing staff. She is worth gold and her and her staff went above and beyond.
The opportunities are endless at this venue. I wish we still lived in Colorado but now we have even more the reason to come and visit and reminisce at Cherokee. You will not regret hosting ANY event here! I would give it 100 stars if I could!!!

The venue and staff are second to none! We worked with Isabelle Kline as our wedding coordinator and she was by far the best! The castle is lucky to have such a wonderful planner on their staff! If you haven't been to the castle I highly suggest setting up a time to go by. The venue speaks for itself. We had the wedding of our dreams & received so many compliments!

We had our wedding at Cherokee Ranch and Castle, and I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else. From the moment we first saw the castle, we knew it was our venue. It is so magical, with the amazing views, and with all the lights on the castle at night. We haven't received our photos yet, but I know the castle was the perfect backdrop.

The staff at Cherokee Ranch went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was spectacular. While I could go on all day about the breathtaking view from the castle, I want to highlight the professional and flexible staff. Everyone was friendly and informative. Our questions and concerns were considered in a timely manner, and everything turned out perfectly. I would recommend the castle to anyone seeking a wedding or special event venue.

The venue defines the wedding. Lucky for us, we found the most spectacular wedding venue in all of Colorado. Cherokee Ranch and Castle is the perfect balance of history, beauty, character, views and convenience. It truly lives up to its tag line as "the realm of the extraordinary."

We had originally wanted to have our Colorado-themed wedding in the mountains. We started our search in Estes Park. After a while, we realized anything there or anywhere else in the mountains would become an unintentional destination wedding for us and our guests. We decided to begin looking closer to home in Southern Denver.

I had an epiphany one day about the beautiful property I had been to for a tea many years ago and wondered if they did weddings. Sure enough, that property, Cherokee Ranch, did, and at an extremely reasonable price. We learned of the Castle's fascinating history, of Tweet and all her character, of the building's beautiful art and architecture, etc.

However, what absolutely sold us was the VIEW. The moment we saw the sweeping, gorgeous views from Pikes Peak to Denver, we were sold. We booked immediately.

Ultimately, we could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our Colorado-themed wedding. Anasa Shank, the wedding and event coordinator, was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process, and she acted as an excellent on-site coordinator on the day of the wedding. We really enjoyed working with her.

All of our guests ended up raving about the tours, the views and the naturalistic beauty of the Castle. Many said it was the most spectacular view in all of Colorado. (We couldn't have agreed more!) We also had plenty of spaces and opportunities for truly breathtaking photos. (Including unrivaled sunset photos!)

If you want a reasonably-priced venue full of character, beauty and charm (and one AMAZING view), look no further. Cherokee Ranch and Castle is truly "the realm of the extraordinary."

It was so magical and so much fun! I would recommend paying the venue fee for an extra hour for pictures PRIOR to the main event so you do not feel rushed. They are a little strict, but good people. The views are amazing and it was such a unique and unforgettable experience for everyone! 100% best venue.

We had the wedding of the century here, it was quite spectacular and impressed our guests. I recommend planning on where you dance according to the type of party you're throwing, our guests got a bit roudy and we lost our deposit due to some damage. Should have danced in the tent (less priceless objects for drunk uncles to break). Also hire a bus to drive people to the hotel, not the place to send tipsy people home.

What an absolute stressful venue to go with for my wedding. The management is so unorganized and dysfunctional it’s no wonder I had to micromanage the venue every step to include the day of my wedding. I had my venue until 1 am and they tried to clear everyone out by 11pm! They started closing down the open bar at 10pm and cleaning up in the middle of my wedding. They recently changed over management and upped the price on everything. Beer is outrageously over priced. The price for alcohol changed after I signed my contract along with multiple other things. What a nightmare.
