We had the most incredible experience at Evergreen Lake House! Krista was always kind and responsive, and all of the Lake House's recommended vendors were incredible! -

Sheila Sent on 06/18/2023A most wonderful wedding day!
The drizzle and impending thunder clouds put our outdoor ceremony in serious doubt. Steve, the on site caretaker for our day, was the most pleasant, patient and accommodating as any nervous mother of the bride could expect. I believe he and his team reset the space twice, before the sun ultimately won the day and my daughters wedding went forward without a hitch. Oh, and he helped the father of the groom build the arch. The process, starting with Krista for the initial meetings and walk through, was professional and direct. I always felt that I was in capable hands.
Evergreen is also perfect for out of state folks who may feel intimidated driving over steep mountain passes. Evergreen is close enough, and just far enough to give those folks a really great mountain experience! We even had a herd of elk come down for pictures!
We were thrilled, and still are, many thanks to Evergreen Lakehouse!

We got married here 5 years ago this March and could not have been happier with our choice! The venue is beautiful and just the right size for a medium wedding. We had 50 guests but I think double that would have still been comfortable. We decided to use the octagon room for the bar and loved it. 100% reccomend! -

I think it showed our love for Colorado well .Adam who helps run the venue awnsered all of our questions promptly . Everyone at evergreen lake house was a delight! -

Beautiful Venue
The Evergreen Lake house is the prefect venue. Inside and out is stunning. No decoration needed. Its easy to find for out of town guests. Easy accommodation nearby. The lake house staff was very easy to get in touch with and were responsive prior to and day of the venue. I have no complaints and wish I could do it all again. My wedding was took place at the lake house in May. Everything was perfect! -

This lake house is a beautiful log structure with a deck right on the lake and beautiful mountains in the background. It’s a stunning spot for the ceremony. The pictures turned out great! The lake house is beautiful in the inside with chandeliers and logs. Such a rustic and classy setting. You can choose your own caterer from a big list, and any other vendor is your choice as well! I love how close it is to the city too so Colorado guests don’t have to pay for a hotel. -

Jennifer Sent on 06/30/2018The Lake House is a beautiful structure situated in a scene of natural beauty: wooded foothills, wildlife, and the gorgeous lake itself. Because it is owned by Denver Parks, the regulations are stricter than your typical venue to ensure it remains beautiful and safe for the community. For our ceremony and reception, the building afforded a weather back-up plan (which we ended up using) and comfortably housed all of our guests inside. The combination of architecture and the scenic view was impressive and cozy enough for us to feel confident in asking the majority of our guests to cross the country to witness our ceremony. The staff was competent and responsive, even in the midst of a change in management. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the venue. We will be back to visit for our first anniversary... if not sooner! -

Janessa Sent on 02/14/2011We used the Evergreen Lake house for our ceremony and reception venue. It is o beautiful. For us it was the prefect compromise. I wanted to get married outside and my husband said anything but a barn. The lake house next to a golf course, so on one side there are manicured lawns (we made the short walk and took some pictures on one of the fairways). Some people said the woman in charge was hard to work with but that was not our experience at all. It was actually nice to only talk to one person. She returned all our phone calls and was at every meeting and there the day of the wedding. We got married on a Monday in May and she was very flexible with the time slot. The Value of the Lake house was its original selling point for us (tables are included). The biggest surprise was that the value did not come with fine print. The experience was perfect. -

Overall, we were very happy with Evergreen Lake House. The setting is stunning, and the space worked very well for our ~100 guest event, with plenty of room for dining, a buffet (we also rented the Octagon Room), and dancing. We had contra dancing at our wedding, so having adequate space and a good dance floor was key for us! The venue also works well for either outdoor or indoor weddings - having grown up in Colorado I was WELL familiar with the state's quixotic weather tendencies, so having a convenient indoor backup was key.
The staff were very helpful with the final walkthrough, and although you do have to use one of their preferred caterers (or else pay $1000 extra+have the caterer work with Evergreen to make sure they know how to use the space), the list they had had enough options that we were able to find a caterer (Taco Mojo!) that fit our tastes and budget. I think for the price we paid (our ceremony was on a Sunday, which was slightly less) the venue was good value.
The only thing I didn't like was how hard it could sometimes be to get in contact with the venue more than a month out from the wedding. It was difficult to get general questions answered, often emails would go unanswered for weeks, and getting in contact by phone could be difficult. Thankfully that changed closer to our date!
Other big thing to keep in mind with this venue is the lottery system they use for making reservations if you want a specific date. We had a whole strategy worked out for our preferred dates in late September/early October, and then found out the week before the lottery was to happen that the venue wouldn't be available for that time! So, suddenly our wedding was 3 months earlier than initially anticipated... Could have done without that stress, having it more clearly posted in advance, on the website, that the venue wouldn't be available for those dates would have been nice.
Those two issues aside, though, we were very happy with how our wedding went - everything worked out splendidly, and it was a gorgeous occasion! If you're hoping for a Colorado mountain wedding that you do YOUR way (not a wedding factory!) I highly recommend Evergreen Lake House! -

Ariel Sent on 07/01/2019Nice staff absolutely beautiful
I loved the location the area the views everything seemed perfect even the price was decent. Then we talked about their availability and you can't reserve a day until 1 year before and you have go to a drawing with everyone who wants a day in that month and have to have your name drawn in this raffel in order to pick a date. And if someone gets drawn before you and picks the day you wanted your out of luck even if you had visited long before them. -

Jillian Sent on 10/02/2022Beautiful venue for wedding but…
Beautiful venue for wedding but last minute they decided to change our timeline and cut us short of our scheduled time which was very disappointing. There was an older lady that worked at the lake house there that helped significantly when it was raining just prior to our outdoor ceremony and she rushed to dry the seats. However, this older lady shut down our bar very early and actually yelled at our guests and bartenders. It was never communicated, even to our our bartenders, about last call/ shutting down the bar at an early time so no one, including the bride and groom, had any idea about this. While it is a beautiful venue, my husband and I were very disappointed by these changes, the lack of communication, and this older lady making our guests and the people we hired uncomfortable. -
Mercedes Sent on 09/25/2017The Evergreen Lake House is an absolutely gorgeous place to have a wedding. As a destination wedding, our guests were in awe of the location and beauty of the venue. It perfectly fit our 'adventure' vibe and looked so beautiful with minimal decoration. I absolutely loved getting married here.
My only complaint is the manager, Lorna. She's incredibly difficult to work with, rude, and was short with us at every single encounter. She fought with our vendors via emails we were CC'd on, she claimed we were 'burdening our family' by having a few of them take care of clean up at the end of the night, and the worst was when she ruined a moment between my mother and I on the wedding day. We were sitting out on the deck, I was writing my vows and my mom and I were just talking about the wedding and the future. Then Lorna came out and repeatedly told us we shouldn't be sitting on the deck and blahblahblah. It was just ridiculous, but honestly that's Lorna.
So, if you can handle a difficult person who constantly takes all of the fun and joy out of wedding planning, then I highly recommend the Lake House. -
