The Perfect Day!
The venue speaks for itself- it's breathtakingly beautiful, the mountains are incredible, the fireplaces are a great touch. The ski lift journey to the ceremony is something everyone will remember and talk about. It automatically makes for a great touch.
Jennifer and the entire team at Granby Ranch are the reason why I give this venue five stars regardless of how beautiful it is. She was incredible. Truly, truly, incredible. Every step of the way, she was awesome. She thought of details and timelines I had no idea I needed to be thinking about as a bride. She was always available and receptive. She was patient with us when I was overwhelmed. She generally cared about us and just wanted us to have the perfect day. She was a calming presence that just made our day so much more special and smooth. I cannot thank her or this team enough. The best day I've lived thus far and I am forever grateful to them. -

Granby Proposal
Jennifer and the Granby Ranch team were amazing and made my proposal absolutely perfect. I'm from the Washington, DC area and had no clue what I'd be getting, but I'm overwhelmed with how great of a job this team did. I got to meet the entire team (Jennifer, Ski Lift Operators, Restaurant Staff) beforehand and helped things go off without a hitch. This space is meant for weddings, but the team helped transform the site to fit exactly what I was looking for. Everything from the customized lift passes to the bridal yurt made this special event even more special. Going into this sight-unseen was nerve-racking, but Jennifer and team couldn't have made things easier for me. The view was stunning and provided a romantic spot that can't be beat.
I recommend checking out Granby Ranch for any proposal or ceremony, they do a fantastic job and provide a personal touch you won't get most places. Thank you to Jennifer and team! -

Amazing!
This venue was absolutely stunning and unique. Throughout the whole planning process and the day of our wedding Jennifer was so helpful, kind, and patient. The best part was definitely riding the chairlift to the top and the expansive views. It was also a huge plus that we could have our dog at the ceremony with us. We definitely would recommend this location to couples! -

Summer Wedding 2025
Jennifer and her team were knowledgeable, organized, and very friendly! We had a wedding there during the summer time and it was absolutely beautiful not to mention there were lawn concerts during the week. The staff were very helpful and all of our guests had the best time-especially on the dance floor! We can’t wait to go back and visit in the future:) -

Dream Wedding
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day! From start to finish, everything about this venue was absolutely amazing. The views were breathtaking! Our guests are still talking about the stunning backdrop and how beautiful everything looked.
The service and food were top-notch. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly, and the meal? Incredible! From appetizers to dinner, everything was delicious and beautifully presented.
A huge shoutout to Jennifer, who was an absolute joy to work with. She was kind, responsive, and so accommodating with all of our requests. She made planning feel effortless and truly helped make our vision come to life.
If you’re considering this venue—do it. You will not regret it. It was everything we hoped for and more!

Fantastic, Thankful. And Grateful!
Working with Jennifer at Granby Ranch was by far one of the best experiences ever! She and her team were so supportive and incredible to work with. The day itself was amazing and memorable and we are all still in a dream state!
Planning the event from Texas was so much easier said than done! We did both the Welcome Party and the Wedding at Granby Ranch and both events were each individual and unique in their own right! The food, the service, the location were superb! I can’t comment enough on any of it! Every detail was simply beautiful!
The Welcome Party , the evening before was a great event to allow all the guests to mingle and relax. The Wedding Ceremony up on the mountain, Wow! I can’t even describe how emotional and beautiful it was! The cocktail party and the dinner was exquisite! It was like five star dining at the mountaintop! Kudos to the chef!
I could go on forever!
Most of all , working with Jennifer and her staff was exceptional. She led the way. to where to guide the group, where to help or support when needed. And was just a pure joy to work with all along. It was like a friend for a year in planning! Thank you Granby Ranch for making dreams come true! -

Wonderful experience

Luckily, I ran into this Wonderful woman named Jenny, who took time Out of her day and helped me out through the whole process.

Everything was perfect!
Jennifer Lespesa the event coordinator was the main reason we went with Granby Ranch. She was incredibly professional, genuine, and so fun to work with. The entire staff at the ranch were so friendly and were having fun with us. Not a step was missed and the smaller intimate venue with the most beautiful mountain backdrops made for our perfect wedding. If you’re looking for a ski lift wedding, choose Granby! They have everything down perfectly!-

Big Views, amazing staff
Jennifer Laspesa hands down is one of the kindest most helpful venue staff I have encountered. Incredibly helpful, optimistic, kindl, informative and emotionally present. When you are choosing a venue, you are not just choosing a location, but the staff who will make or break your wedding experience. Jennifer and her staff where just so increadable. I was the photographer for an amazing wedding this past summer here at Grandy Ranch and was impressed by the staff an not to mention the amazing views from the top of the resort. I really enjoy photographing weddings here and cant say enough good about this place. Five stars!-

Prime Fall Wedding!
We were so happy we found Granby Ranch to have our wedding at. The colors at the end of September are absolutely unreal! The Aspen's were in an amazing yellow color and scattered throughout the area. We knew this was the site when we saw the ceremony location, it's breathtaking. Also, the food and booze was great! We loved the bison tenderloin. -

Dream Come True
We had our June 2024 wedding here and it was a dream come true! We are actually not from the area and did a lot of online research before choosing to check out a short list of venues. Granby Ranch stood out to us for its breathtaking views at a budget friendly price point. Once we had toured this place and saw in person the ceremony site, we cancelled the rest of our tours because we just knew this was it.
Beyond the views/site itself, our site coordinator, Jennifer, was extremely organized and responsive. We actually had two weddings (a Christian ceremony here at Granby and a later Hindu wedding in Dallas) and I am not exaggerating when I say we didn't know how good we had it with Jennifer until we had to plan the second wedding. Jennifer will make sure every detail is nailed down and executed. She will work closely with you and your wedding coordinator. It takes a lot of stress out of your hands to work with a team so on top of it. The other huge pro about choosing this place is their amazing catering team - our guests raved about how delicious the food was! It was a first time for our pastor and officiant visiting here and he told us he'd be highly recommending this venue to other couples at the church.
Overall, we highly recommend Granby Ranch for your big day. The site, the service, the food - all top notch!!! -

Dream View and Dream Team
We could not have asked for a better venue experience! We had an intimate ceremony / post ceremony cocktail hour and dinner at Granby Ranch for a group of 40. What really makes this venue shine is the staff. Jennifer and Amelia were a joy to work with throughout our planning process. They really make you feel cared for, and they didn't skip a beat to make our out of the box ideas a reality. We lucked out with 10/10 weather and peak fall leaves for our late September day. Our guests had the most fun taking the ski lift up to Vista ridge! Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony site was and were eager to take all the pictures! As far as guest experience goes, Granby Ranch delivers. A con to this venue I can see is that there is no great weather back up plan. We were told that the plan would be to shift the timeline and have a mini cocktail hour at the base while we waited it out, or we would shuttle up the wedding party only for a quick ceremony if we had a small window. This was not a huge concern for us given our small group and flexible timeline, but worth noting. Everything on our menu was delicious, and I feel like we got an amazing value for our food and beverage package. There are ample vacation rental options walkable from Base Camp if you want to have all your guests stay close by. We ended up booking a condo as our "getting ready" suite and it could not have been more convenient. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience. Vista ridge is an absolute dream location to say "I do". Our pictures speak for themselves. Jennifer and her whole team truly felt like family. You can tell they take a lot of pride in the business and at no point did we feel like we were being "sold" on anything. We look forward to returning to Granby Ranch in the years to come and feel so lucky to have chosen this backdrop for our perfect day!-

Amazing Views and Experience at Granby Ranch
I'm a Wedding Photographer in Colorado and I've shot several weddings that have been held at Granby Ranch and they have always been fantastic! The ceremonies are held at the top of the mountain Ski lift that has some amazing views! One of my favorite moments of working here is seeing the guests faces when they arrive up the mountain and see the view from the ceremony location for the first time. It is Epic! The overall experience of the rest of the venue is great as well. I've had weddings where the reception is held under a tent out on the lawn or one's where they were held in the dining hall inside the resort and they have both been seamless and everyone leaves happy. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable about the schedule and getting people to the places they need to be. I hope I get to come back and shoot some more weddings here in the future! -

We recommend Granby Ranch to any couple looking for an amazing wedding with a stunning view, great coordination, and flexible staff... you will not regret it! -

The BEST Wedding Venue in the Rocky Mountains!!!
My husband and I got married at Granby Ranch on 9/23/2021 and our wedding day was truly perfect - all thanks provided to the overwhelming beauty of this venue and their absolutely *incredible* staff. CEREMONY SITE: The ceremony site at Granby Ranch brought me to tears the first time that I saw it. Preceded by a bountiful aspen grove, the views from Vista Ridge are truly breathtaking. Exchanging our vows in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, overlooking the continental divide, was more than I could have ever wished for on our wedding day. In addition to the captivating beauty of the site, the experience of taking the chairlift up to the site was like no other. As avid skiiers, it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our wedding day and something that had our guest still talking about weeks later! Additionally, it was something that helped to make our special day truly unique. Our guests had no issues retrieving lift tickets and navigating their way to the top of the mountain thanks to Granby Ranch staff. Also - a special shout out to lift attendant, Andy. He encouraged us to wait for a chair that would allow our photographers to be directly behind us. He also found us a left-over "Just Married" sign that he personally tied to the back of our chair. Because of these simple actions, our photographer was able to capture one of our favorite photos from the entire day. Thank you, Andy! FOOD: The food. Was. AMAZING! We chose one of their buffet options and could not have been happier with our decision. Their incredible and award-winning chef, Lianna, was present during our reception and personally walked my husband and I through each item in the buffet line. There was a perfect amount of food items to choose from, including vegetarian options. This is no exaggeration - every single one of our guests complimented us on how incredible the food was. Most of them specified how shocked they were that a buffet could be so delicious and flavorsome. Hats off to Chef Lianna! STAFF: We had positive interactions with every single staff member at Granby Ranch - to note, this includes the days that we've spent at Granby Ranch for our initial visit, tastings, and even on a totally separate ski trip we took the year prior. The staff truly seems to be happy to be there and that feeling extends onto their guests. On our wedding day and at our rehearsal dinner, every staff member seemed elated to be celebrating us and were willing to help us in any way that they could. Most of our time was spent coordinating with Jennifer, a true gem of a human and somebody that we now consider a friend. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure that our day was special and we hold an immeasurable amount of gratitude for her and all that she did for us during our planning process. We also had incredibly positive interactions with the Wedding Services Manager, Liz, and the F&B Director, Ian. Our banquet captain, Zina, and staff member, Jordan, also helped to make our rehearsal dinner and reception one for the books. They were our right hand women during these events and always had a smile on their face. It was so comforting to be around people who truly wanted this day to be special for us. In conclusion, our wedding at Granby Ranch was more than we could have ever hoped for it to be. If you are considering a beautiful and unique mountain wedding with a small-town feel, then look no further - this is it!!!-

AMAZING - love Granby Ranch!
We had our wedding at Granby Ranch on June 13th, 2021. After two postponements in 2020, we were thrilled to finally be able to have our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer and her team. Jennifer was AMAZING and so accomodating throughout all of the challenges with COVID. Also, the food exceeded our expectations along with the servers/entire staff on the day of the wedding.
This location is absolutely an absolutely beautiful spot to have a wedding and the staff/food/Jennifer/TeNeil (highly recommend for your day of coordinator) all made it that much better! THANK YOU!! -

Better than we imagined.
We're still reeling from our wedding experience. Everything was great from start to finish. We went to visit the ranch in the springtime for a tour and food & wine tasting. We rode a ski lift up to the ceremony site, which grants you a BREATHTAKING view of the continental divide. During the tasting, our coordinator Jennifer and the head chef Liana worked with us to select the food and liquor options we loved and were accommodating of our guests with dietary needs.
In addition to just being a beautiful place with delicious food, the vibe was so perfect; the ranch is laid back in a way that makes you feel incredibly at home without sacrificing an ounce of class. We have two children, so it was important to us to be at a venue where children were welcome, but have the experience still feel very grown & sexy. They nailed it. The Ranch staff have hospitality down to a science.
Our friends have already started asking us if we're going back to Granby Ranch for our first anniversary. :) We highly recommend this venue, and do hope to return soon! -

The BEST day at Granby Ranch
We got married July 2021 and Granby Ranch was the wedding venue of our dreams! We wanted the ultimate mountain wedding and Granby Ranch delivered. We wanted the chairlift experience for our guests and our guests loved it! (There's also a shuttle available for those who need it). We toured other ski resorts - Keystone, Vail - and ultimately decided on Granby because we loved the small-town feel. We did not want to be one of many weddings that day. Jennifer led us on our tour, took us up to the ceremony site and we instantly fell in love with the view from the wedding deck. We also loved the bridal yurt to get dressed and spend time with the wedding party before the wedding. I could even peak at the guests getting off the chairlift and head the ceremony from the privacy of the bridal yurt which was fun! Guests can get a drink at the bar while waiting at the base before lift tickets were given out for the ceremony. FYI only a port-a-potty is available once up the chairlift. The provided PA and microphone offered by Granby (we used in an emergency since our DJ could not make it) was a corded microphone and a single speaker. I recommend getting your DJ to offer a lapel microphone and more speakers so the officiant can be hands free while reading the ceremony and heard well. This may have been more of an issue because we had a windstorm throughout the majority of our ceremony. Be prepared for true mountain weather changes! Cocktail hour on the deck and reception was indoors. The outside deck and indoor reception hall flowed nicely together and the guests enjoyed going back and forth for a change of scenery. We got so many compliments on our food, it was truly delicious I never expect wedding food to be tasty but this was, especially the steak. We also loved having the option of renting out the downstairs bar for an intimate after-party with some late night snacks following the reception. Lots of housing options were available in Granby Ranch itself for guests - from 1 bedroom options to large 5 bedroom homes, all within 7 minutes from the venue! We had 125 guests and did not hear of anyone having issues finding accommodations. Thank you again for an amazing wedding and helping to create the best memories! -

Gorgeous ceremony site and awesome service!
Granby Ranch was everything I hoped for and more! I had my wedding in August and it was the best! Devon was wonderful to work with and helped answer any questions I had through out the process and my guest were raving about how fun and friendly staff were throughout the night. Because they only do one wedding a day, they make you feel really special. I'm a relatively funky bride and wanted to create a bohemian, festivally type vibe to this venue and having the place to ourselves for 12 hours definitely helped us create exactly the look I was going for. My husband is an avid skier so we wanted to have our wedding at a ski resort but I wanted to do a lot of unique design elements to make it as quirky and arsty as I am. I felt like Granby Ranch allowed us to really personalize our wedding compared to other ski resorts.
The food exceeded expectations and even my most foody of relatives kept bringing up how great the food was weeks after the event. That steak was melt in your mouth perfection!
And that's not even the best part of having my wedding here. Vista Ridge is to die for! As soon as I saw it, I was sold! It is the most beautiful site I've ever been too. You even get to walk down the aisle through an aspen grove! Plus, the Bridal Yurt is super cute. I highly recommend any bride looking for the perfect mountain wedding. What's a better place to say your 'I do's' than on top of a mountain? -

Granby Ranch was the most beautiful wedding venue for our Colorado wedding! As Colorado natives, we loved the Granby area and knew we wanted to get married there. We originally saw the venue in July 2016, and booked Granby Ranch for our wedding in July 2017! We knew there were a few transitions of wedding coordinators while we were planning our wedding, and we were fortunate enough to work with Cassidy during the months leading up to the wedding! Cassidy and her team were so amazing, they made our entire dream wedding possible! Cassidy responded to our emails quickly, accommodated a few additional people for our wedding tasting in May 2017, and was helpful and made everything possible on our wedding day! Our wedding was scheduled for 3:00pm, and we had some lightning around 1:30pm, and Granby Ranch had to close the lift for safety reasons. The staff notified us that our ceremony at Vista Ridge will be very unlikely. While we are trying to decide where to move the ceremony location, the sky clears up and we didn’t have any lightning for the rest of the afternoon! Cassidy let us know that it was now safe for us to have the ceremony at Vista Ridge, and to allow guests on the chairlift. Cassidy and her team worked so hard to turn the day around and make our wedding ceremony at Vista Ridge possible! Our guests were stunned by the views at Vista Ridge, and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! Granby Ranch is a beautiful location with great food, wide variety of drinks, and a great setup! All together shows how hard the Granby Ranch staff worked to make our day amazing! Our wedding at Granby Ranch was wonderful and everything we dreamed of! We highly recommend Granby Ranch as a wedding venue! -

What an amazing venue! As the mother-of-the-bride, I could not have been more pleased with all the assistance from Granby Ranch Staff. I was a little concerned when I had a difficult time a couple weeks prior and I had difficulty getting answers to questions I emailed, but after learning our wedding coordinator had fallen ill, I understood the delay and was informed "not to worry"! Everything went smoothly the day of the wedding....from the assistance at the lift ride, to the fabulous food and the attentiveness of the staff! Our wedding planner, Cassidy, asked if I needed anything when I arrived at the reception and I said, "Water"! I had it within 5 minutes! High recommendations from our family! -

Excellent venue. All of our guests were stunned by the views, everyone enjoyed the novelty of riding the ski lift to the site. We had lots of compliments on all the food, especially the chicken and waffles appetizer and palisade tomato soup and grilled cheese appetizer. Staff was very helpful, very organized, and put a lot of effort into making the day smooth and stress free for ourselves. They assisted with set up, clean up, directing guests, communicating with vendors, the wedding organizer even helped cart around my veil and dress while we did photos. Worth the cost for all the extras and included assistance. -

Granby Ranch was the PERFECT venue for our Colorado destination wedding on 9/24/16. Our friends and family are still RAVING about the ceremony view and the reception food, and many of them said they want to come back to Granby Ranch for family vacations in the future. I apologize for the long review, but there are just so many reasons we loved Granby Ranch.
First and foremost, the chair lift rides and the mountaintop ceremony location provided the perfect Colorado experience for our guests (This was super important to us, since 100% of our guests came in from out of state). The view at the ceremony site is truly incredible and one of the best that we've seen anywhere.
Another thing we loved about the venue is that there’s plenty of convenient, affordable and quality lodging available right on the property. All of our guests rented condos in Base Camp One, and they absolutely LOVED their accommodations. The condos are modern, spacious and right next door to the chair lift and reception location. It doesn’t get more convenient than that! They are all privately owned, so we weren’t able to do a room block, but a majority of them are available through VRBO.com, so our guests didn’t have any trouble figuring out how to book their rooms once we told them where to go. We also loved that there were so many on-site activities for our guests to do at Granby Ranch. Several of our friends went hiking, biking and golfing during the weekend.
To top it all off, the food was AMAZING and the entire day was seamless and perfect thanks to the amazing team at Granby Ranch. We could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding.

Seriously - what can I say about this venue! The whole team is amazing - whether they are helping you with catering or any other questions that you may have about planning a wedding!! We not only had a Welcome Party on the lawn, but we had our ceremony and our reception there as well - everything was perfect and everyone (our guests) had a blast! If I could have a wedding every year (with my husband) I would without a doubt have it at Granby Ranch! The view was breathtaking and the people were so helpful! -

Our wedding at Granby Ranch was beautiful! It was a pleasure to work with the team at the ranch- they were super helpful with the dozens of questions we had over the several months of planning. The food was delicious and all of our guests raved about the fantastic time they had at the venue over the weekend. Thank you!!! -

My husband and I would definitely recommend Granby Ranch as a wedding venue for anyone who would like to treat their guest to a fairytale, mountainside wedding. All of our guests raved about the fantastic views and the gorgeous backdrop for our wedding. We loved sharing our passion for the Colorado outdoors and this setting helped to make our wedding the best wedding many of our guests have ever been to. What originally sparked our attention with Granby Ranch was the budget-friendly prices as well as the independent family ownership. We actually visited and booked this venue before getting officially engaged! We chose our wedding date based on the open availability at Granby Ranch! When you book a wedding with them, you will be the main event for this location! Other venues we checked out in the mountains had coinciding events but at this resort your wedding day is reserved just for you.
We were impressed with the professionalism of the event coordinating team. They were often available when we would call or would quickly respond to emails. They were flexible and able to accommodate our busy schedules for meetings and site visits. On the day of our wedding the team was so helpful that we were able to relax and enjoy our special day.
Another fabulous part of the Granby Ranch venue experience included the fantastic food experience! Chef prepared a wonderful feast and was able to accommodate for our special food allergies as well as a couple vegetarian requests. The staff was very friendly and continuously checked in with us regarding if we would like a refill of our drinks or if we wanted more wedding cake.
We would definitely recommend Granby Ranch as a ceremony and reception venue to anyone who is looking to plan a mountain top wedding in the Rockies! -

Granby Ranch is the perfect wedding venue if you are looking for something with amazing mountain views. It is absolutely beautiful and is a lot less expensive than a lot of the other ski resorts in Colorado. Many of my wedding guests told me that riding the ski lift up to the ceremony made the wedding very memorable. Vista Ridge is gorgeous and the reception area is great. The food and the Granby Ranch Grill House Wine were delicious. The staff was very helpful and responsive to emails and questions. They were going through a staffing change at the time I was planning my wedding and I still felt very taken care of. I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else! -

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the fabulous attention, service and support we received from Emily Burgess and the entire staff that worked at our wedding on December 29. From our first visit with Emily in the fall, up until the wedding on December 29, she was incredibly helpful, informative, supportive and attentive to our needs and desires for our wedding. She kept us well informed throughout the whole planning process and was wonderful to work with! She provided us with great suggestions for vendors for our flowers and cake. On the day of our wedding, Emily and the entire staff far exceeded our expectations, and their attention and service made our day far more special and memorable than we had ever dreamed it would be! The entire staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and really contributed to making our day one we will never forget! -

My husband and I only looked at one venue and Granby Ranch was it! We loved that the venue had so many options and that we didn't have to bring in our own caterer or worry about rentals for the day. We loved working with Emily and our day couldn't have gone any better. -

Granby Ranch is an absolutely amazing venue! Simply breathtaking!
Everything was perfect, and our wedding ladies - Emily and Amy - were exactly what a Bride needs on her big day, and all the planning that goes into it.
If you have any reservations regarding the location, take it from a Bride, my day was perfect and if you honor Granby Ranch with your wedding, your day will be perfect as well! -

We had such a wonderful time working with and having our ceremony at Granby Ranch. The service was top-notch (shout out to Amy and Emily, they were amazing!) and the venue couldn't have possibly been better. Gorgeous views of the National Park right at your ceremony site, it almost looks fake. And how many people can say they and their guests took a ski lift up to their wedding?
The staff were so accommodating - anything we asked for they could provide. This also parlays to the pricing, it was a lot of money, but you get what you pay for because this was worth it. I have never had better wedding food, the staff during the reception were so lovely and personable, lodging is right next door, I could go on.
It's also important to note that they're very gay-friendly (my partner and I obviously couldn't have a union ceremony somewhere they're not), but if that's important to you you're welcome to take it from me that it's not even remotely an issue and we were treated (presumably) like any other couple they've dealt with. Five stars! -

We wanted a small, economical wedding that involved very little work on our part. Granby Ranch is so beautiful that the wedding could be understated but still magnificent with the mountain backdrop! The Granby Ranch staff helped make sure we didn't forget any of the small details. If we had wanted to be more formal/fancy with our ceremony and reception, I would have still chosen this venue...the things we could have added are endless. I didn't believe that a day could actually be as magical as our wedding day was! -

Granby Ranch is a great venue to have your ceremony! We got married at the top of vista ridge in the snow/sleet/rain. Despite the weather, it was amazing. And, the staff at Granby Ranch made sure we made the right decision to go up, although it was pretty cold with the wind chill. My husband consulted with the weather professionals, and they were spot on. We recently witnessed our friends get wed at the same location. Different time of year and different weather, but it is still a beautifully breathtaking location! We definitely recommend Granby Ranch as a wedding venue. Grand County is great! -

The ceremony spot at Granby Ranch is epic. Total panoramic view of unspoiled gorgeous mountains complete with wildflowers. All our vendors said it beats anything else they've seen in the Colorado Mountains. It is awesome! It's even more awesome that the Granby Ranch staff are so wonderful to work with! Amy and Emily accommodated all our requests and quickly responded to my dozens of emails with questions. They really seem to enjoy their jobs, which makes such a huge difference. Execution on the big day was perfect! The reception space is also wonderful, complemented by a huge outdoor porch. The food was lovely too! My husband is vegetarian, and the vegetarian/vegan dish was delicious (not the standard sautéed veggies on a pile rice that you often see at weddings). We were also able to easily accommodate the gluten free crowd. And as if you needed another selling point, you and your guests can have s'mores! Awesome staff, unbeatable location, great food - my opinion is that this is THE Colorado mountain wedding venue. -

I highly recommend Granby Ranch for anyone looking for a ski resort wedding! The ceremony site is breathtaking (over a month later guests are still gushing about it) and reception area is great. Before deciding on Granby my (now) husband and I looked at several other Colorado ski resort options, and Granby Ranch made everything so much easier, and the staff was so helpful and great to work with!We had a blast having our wedding there, and wouldn't have changed a thing! (Great food and bar options, too!)
NOTE: After seeing the comment above, I have to say that I had a great experience working with Amy and Emily. They were helpful and accommodating, and just generally fun to work with. They made the planning process so much easier! -

Teresa was wonderful! The food was delicious, I have never had such good food at a wedding and many of our guests said the same thing. Wish they would have annonced they were removing the buffet though so people could have had seconds. We did have a little issue with the power due to a passing storm but the staff did a great job, kept serving beer and all was good when it came back on an hour later. Teresa was very responsive to all our questions and I had a lot of them. There was some disagreements at time with what was in the contract and what wasn't but as soon as I pointed them out on the signed (official) contract to her she would agree with us (so make sure you get everything in writing but that goes for all vendors). We couldn't have asked for a better wedding location! -

This is the perfect mountain venue. The chairlift ride to Vista Ridge for the ceremony is AMAZING. Teresa and Joe and their team are so easy to work with!!!!! Nothing went wrong, we had perfect weather, the Aspen leaves were changing and our guests had the best time and enjoyed the AMAZING food. Wedding food can be a challenge for some venues, but not Granby Ranch. They had a huge menu of choices and our chicken and prime rib entrees were perfect. We also did our rehearsal dinner the night before at Granby Ranch Grill and the pizza and pasta was amazing as well. I would recommend any bride get married at Granby Ranch, its a true Colorado experience you and your guests will be raving about for years to come. -

Teresa and the Granby Ranch staff are absolutely phenomenal and were quick and patient to respond to all of my questions during our planning. I recommend this venue to anyone wanting a mountain wedding that guests will be talking about for a while because mine sure are!! -

Our wedding at Granby Ranch was amazing. Staff was attentive and knowledgable, food was fantastic, and the venue- amazing views, and guests loved the chairlift! Granby offered everything the more commercial resorts did with more flexibility and reasonable prices. Our wedding day was perfect and our guests continue to tell us they've never had more fun at a wedding. I would recommend Granby Ranch to any couple looking for a beautiful, easy to work with resort. -

After calling and visiting numerous other venues we found Granby Ranch. We knew right away this was the place for us not only because of the views from the venue but the staff as well. The value was amazing too! Compared to other resort wedding locations Granby Ranch by far was the best! They are very flexible with adding and subtracting services to help meet your budget where most other large resorts wouldn't budge on price! We worked with both Jon and Teresa. They were both wonderful and extremely responsive to every email, phone call and question we had. The planning process went extremely smoothly and so did the actual wedding day. We weren't able to have our rehersal at the actual site due to another wedding that day but we didn't care at all about that. The wedding day was great. The staff helped us stay calm and provided us everything we needed! We couldn't have asked for more! The guests couldn't say enough about the view and the venue overall. One person noted that they had never been to a wedding that people had to be told to sit down because the service was starting, everyone was too busy enjoying the view and taking pictures! On top of that the food at the reception was amazing! I have never heard so many comments about the food at a wedding. They even went out of their way to make special meals for our vegatarian and vegan guests! Thank you Teresa and Granby Ranch for such a perfect day! -

It was important to my husband that we have an outdoor wedding in the mountains. When we starting looking for venues, my mouth dropped to the floor. Mountain venues were too expensive! However, we were blessed when we found Granby Ranch.
Not only was the value incredible, the staff really took good care of us. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing, which was nice so I could focus on the man of my dreams.
Thank you Granby Ranch! -

I don't know where to begin except with one word - Perfect! Everything about Granby Ranch led to the perfect wedding day! Granby Ranch now holds a special place in my heart and I can't thank them enough for the fond wedding memories I now have.
From my first email contact with Teresa I could tell she was super organized and upfront about everything. She was super sweet and emailed me a spreadsheet with exact costs of what it would be to hold our wedding at Granby Ranch. Not only was she incredibly caring, but she was so quick with her responses. I never had any issues with Teresa and her staff and they always worked to make our day unique to what we had in mind. I also love how cool, calm, and collected Teresa is. This may sound silly, but dealing with someone like Teresa will allow you to be more relaxed throughout the planning process and on the day of knowing she has everything under control. When confirming final details via email Teresa responded with nothing to worry about from here you are in good hands and she was totally correct in saying that. We didn't worry about a thing throughout the rehearsal and day of because we had complete trust in the staff. You will love this staff and ultimately not having to think about anything the day of will allow you more time to create lasting memories with the ones you love!
Everything else was superb as well. The view is spectacular! Our out of town guests loved their first lift ride up to the beautiful lookout. We had so many compliments on the view and our guests loved their time spent on the top of the mountain for the ceremony. Pictures up here are absolutely amazing as well!
Our food was delicious! The staff accommodated our all vegetarian menu request by impressing us with the options they came up with! Wait staff service the night of was great as well. They were very attentive to guest needs!
I loved having our wedding at Granby Ranch and would do it all over again! -

My husband and I got married at Granby Ranch a couple of weeks ago and I can't even begin to explain how wonderful of a day it was. Teresa is AMAZING and her follow-up and professionalism made it so I didn't worry about a thing! The entire staff was great to work with and I received many compliments about the service during the reception.
And then there is the ceremony site- talk about an amazing view. All of our guests have said it was the most beautiful wedding site they had seen. We even have a couple of family members who are going to look into having a wedding there next year.
If you haven't looked at Granby Ranch yet and want a picture perfect mountain wedding, call now!
Thank you for everything Granby Ranch!!! We will be back to visit soon. -

My husband and I were married at Granby Ranch this last Saturday. We had such an amazing experience from start to finish. Teresa and Joe were amazing to work with and made us feel special every step of the way. Our guests raved about both the venue and the staff. We were also told by our guests that they had never been to a venue more gorgeous. Honestly, what could possibly compete with getting married at the top of a mountain with a breathtaking view! I would recommend this location in a second and believe it or not, I would do it all again if I could! -

We have nothing but praise Granby Ranch and the staff who made our day so very memorable. When we first visited the Granby Ranch, we got a tour from Emily, who seemed to understand us and what we wanted right away. We were blown away by the views at the ceremony site at the top of the mountain. We also thought having our guests ride the chair lift up the mountain for the ceremony would be a unique experience. Emily's professionalism, kindness, and, of course, the beautiful mountain views made the decision to book the venue an easy one. Emily left Granby Ranch shortly thereafter and we started working with Amy. We could not be happier with all her help over the past several months! Amy helped us coordinate everything surrounding our wedding weekend: the welcome party the day before, the ceremony, the reception... She was very helpful, extremely nice, and always responded quickly to what seemed like an endless list of questions. Patty did a wonderful job coordinating our rehearsal the day before the wedding and making sure everyone knew what to before and after the ceremony on the day itself. She even radioed down our drink orders and had them waiting for us when we got off the chair lift after the ceremony. Sometimes it's the little things... People really liked the food: both the pizzas, salad, and varied mini-desserts we had during our welcome party, and the mostly vegetarian menu we served during the reception. Their kitchen staff knows what they're doing. As for the front of the house, everyone we talked to was really nice, professional, and effective. Another plus about Granby Ranch is that it has plenty of available lodging options so our guests had no problem finding a place close by that fit their budget. Granby Ranch is certainly not the cheapest place to have a wedding. However, we thought it was a great value because it provided a wonderful mountain wedding experience. We had a perfect wedding that we (and most of our guests) will never forget. -

If you're thinking about a unique and different wedding where guests will be raving out how unreal the setting was, look no further than Granby Ranch. The value is unprecedented for the views, the vibe and the service you'll receive from Teresa and our staff. Our guests loved riding the chairlift to the top of the mountain for a ceremony that frankly, puts any other location to shame when it comes to uniqueness and breathtaking beauty. Our ushers had to keep track of where people were sitting because once they all were taking pictures and gasping over how beautiful the view was!
Then there's Teresa, who has got to be the most down to earth wedding on-site coordinator ever. She was attentive to our needs, worked with us on a slew of requests and really kept our budget in mind -- something that many wedding vendors completely lose sight of. She was responsive throughout the entire process and kept me calm in those last weeks! And the new chef Granby Ranch has brought in is superb. People said it was some of the best wedding food they'd had!
If you're even considering Granby Ranch book it now! It's the most fabulous location and you won't be disappointed! -

Where your mountain wedding dream comes true!
Granby Ranch is where your mountain wedding dreams come true. When you tour this venue, the moment you see the ceremony location, instant tears. Jennifer, the venue coordinator, is an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only does she make the planning process smooth, but she ensures that no matter what, the day will go off without a hitch. September 7th of this year was the best day of my life, Granby Ranch, Jennifer and the team had a major part in that.
I've always wanted to get married at the base of a ski hill but never like the idea of a busy ski resort with tourists watching on as you say your I do’s. Granby Ranch is a private and intimate mountain where you get to share this once at a lifetime experience with only those that you hold close.
I’ve been to so many weddings where the hotel, the ceremony, the reception and/or the after party are all in different locations. There’s been times where we’ve gotten lost trying to find where we’re supposed to be. And the whole weekend is spent trying to get from point A to point B. But that is not a problem at Granby Ranch. We (the bride and groom) stayed in a townhome in the Bass camp circle. Our families stayed in the other townhomes in the circle, while all of our friends stayed at the Base Camp Lodge. Every morning we would walk out into the cul-de-sac where all of our family and friends gathered as a daily ritual. This kept the entire weekend so intimate, stress-free, and fun! It felt like our own little community! And then the day of we get to take the chairlift to the most incredible mountain top, then back down to the most epic ceremony location privately nestled at the base of the mountain and then topped it off walking 20 feet to the After party bar. My favorite moment that will forever give me chills, was coming down the chairlift with my new husband to all of our family and friends greeting us at the bottom with cheers, laughter and love (I am literally crying as I type this, it was insanely special).
I had over 25 of my guest tell me this is the best wedding they’ve ever been to. From the accommodation, to the views, to the food, and all the little unique features that are too plenty to list, this place holds a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to go here this winter and ski down the mountain where we started our forever if you are debating whether this is THE venue, look no further!-

Amazing wedding experience at GR with breathtaking views!
We had an amazing experience working with Jennifer at Granby Ranch to plan our wedding. The entire planning experience was great, she was quick to get back to us and answer any and all questions! The food at the reception was phenomenal. All of our guests raved about it!-

Incredible
Our wedding this past summer at Granby Ranch was perfect! We wanted a wedding that would highlight the beauty of Colorado and we definitely got all of that with this venue. If you are looking for a venue that listens to your wants and is so beautiful, this is it! The chairlift to the top and the ceremony space are obviously a highlight but so was the food! We still get compliments about now. It was the perfect venue! -

Stunning ceremony views, great guest experience, attentive service!
If you want a “Colorado experience”-kind of wedding, Granby Ranch is the ideal venue. As Florida natives, we were excited to share all the reasons why we love calling Colorado home. Having our wedding not just at Granby Ranch but in the area itself allowed our friends and family to explore hot air balloon rides, drive over to Rocky Mountain National Park, go horseback riding, check out mountain biking, or just simply relax and take in the views.
Wedding planning can be a daunting task, but I really appreciated working with Rachael on day of details. Jennifer was also very helpful and accommodating when Rachael wasn’t available. When you work with them, you never feel like you’re a bother and while they’re probably juggling lots of ceremonies and contacts — they still truly care about you and your big day and it shows when you’re reading the emails and meeting them in person.
Figuring out the food and service was a fun experience for us, too! There are a lot of packages to choose from and there were a few things we were curious about seeing if we could swap from one to another. The Granby Team were really great at letting us know if that was possible and what the price difference would be. At the food tasting, they also have vendors available which is really nice in case you’re stumped on booking something for the day. They also have vendor only fair where you can do the same sort of meet and greet and work with companies in the area! We ended up going with the DJ and Florist that had worked with the venue before which I really liked and was one less thing to worry about.
They do require you to have a wedding coordinator on the day of which on one hand is another budget line item, but I really believe it’s worth it and allows the Bride and Groom to really experience the day without having to worry about the details. You also get to do a day-of run through with Rachael and your coordinator which certainly helped soothe some of my planning anxiety. It's an amazing feeling to get to trust the entire team (especially Rachael) with our wedding day and it honestly couldn’t have turned out any better.
Oh and I almost forgot this one amazing detail... the ceremony site is dog friendly!! We loved having our pups with us to celebrate and having the rental homes so close by made it quick and easy to drop them off before the reception festivities kicked off!-

I had my wedding at Granby Ranch a little over a week and a half ago and the whole day was perfect! It was a destination wedding and so a lot of my planning was done over the phone and email, and Teresa was great to work with. So responsive and easy to work with. The ceremony site is beautiful and has a breath taking view. All my guests were getting pictures up there before the ceremony started. We were able to get our ceremony over with right before a thunderstorm/hail storm came. But Granby Ranch acted very professionally and got all my guests off the mountain safely with shuttle buses and it made for a good time after all! The food was great, all the guests complimented it and the reception room was perfect. I am so glad we had our destination wedding at Granby Ranch in the beautiful Colorado mountains. :) Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a mountain wedding! -

Magnificent views, wonderful staff & excellent food
Granby Ranch is the perfect place for a wedding. I can’t think of a better location to be married than on a mountain top within a two-hour drive from Denver. Your guests will love taking the chairlift to the ceremony site and gush about the amazing views.
I imagine it’s common for any couple to worry about spending too much money on a venue but Granby Ranch provides a good value for the remarkable location, awesome service and excellent catering. My partner and I worried about putting together an affordable reception without serving our guests the stereotypical rubber chicken dinner. The chefs at Granby Ranch prepared a prime rib and salmon buffet that our guests applauded as one of the best wedding meals they have eaten.
Amy Buzhardt and the staff at Granby Ranch were a joy to work with. We didn’t decide on the venue until three months before our wedding day. Though the timing was tight, Amy typically got back to us within 24 hours of us phoning or emailing her. They were also incredibly flexible, even changing the number of tables for our reception the day of the ceremony.
We had a same-sex ceremony and the staff treated us wonderfully. They were genuinely kind to our guests and put us at ease that we wouldn’t have to worry about inappropriate behavior that you might expect in a rural location. I would wholeheartedly recommend Granby Ranch to the gay and lesbian community.
Our friends are also drinkers so it was important for us to have a location with plenty of rooms nearby. Granby Ranch offers a variety of housing options close to the ceremony site ranging from affordable options a short drive away to condos with mountain views that are within walking distance of the reception.
The only downside is that mobile phone service is spotty near the ceremony and reception sites which was a problem when our guests tried to contact us. Other than that, I would recommend Granby Ranch to anyone. -

Vista Ridge at Granby Ranch is unparalleled when it comes to ceremony site. It was absolutely AMAZING! We got soooo many compliments on it, our guests were blown away. For a ski mountain wedding, you cannot beat the value. Teresa was super responsive and easy to work with, she always got back to me right away. It does feel like they have a lot to learn as a staff when it comes to weddings, room to grow for sure, but that is probably why it's such a good deal! If you are planning a wedding here, just make sure that you are very organized and know exactly what you want and how you want the day to go because Teresa is the over all event coordinater for the resort, she is not a wedding planner. That being said, it was great to work with her and honestly I ended up with the absolute wedding of my dreams and all of the guests had a blast and LOVED the resort! -

Unbeatable Venue, Lovely Staff
Granby Ranch provided an unbeatable venue and great service for our wedding. The mountain top ceremony venue is absolutely gorgeous and riding a chairlift was the cherry on top (so many guests commented on how much fun they had riding the chairlift). We had our reception in the lodge, which was a great and convenient location for our guests and had a lovely outdoor deck so people could enjoy the nice weather.
We were also very happy with the catering and bar service. We opted for the buffet dinner and farewell brunch. Everything was delicious and there were lots of options, even for people with dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian, lactose-free, etc).
On top of the staples (location and catering), the Granby Ranch staff was incredible to work with. Jennifer in particular was so responsive and helpful in answering questions and accommodating our needs and requests. She worked well with our other vendors and even helped us find our planner. The whole staff felt very invested in making sure we and our guests had a wonderful day. In fact, by the end of the day, we concluded that the entire wedding experience was even better than what we had hoped for! -

July Wedding at Granby Ranch
We had our wedding at Granby Ranch on July 22, 2023 with the ceremony on Vista Ridge at 3 pm and the reception in the Great Room. We had ~130 guests. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would recommend GR as venue to others looking to get married in Granby/Grand county area.
What we loved about Granby Ranch:
- The views at the ceremony site are amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the location is
- Working with Jennifer. She was very responsive and has such an upbeat personality about everything
-The food. Our guests raved about how good all the food was
-The service. Dinner was fully staffed and I did not hear about any complaints on having to wait too long for anything. Everything was well organized and orchestrated.
Our only complaints (There were just a couple of things that kept us from giving a 5 star rating):
- The Great Room was Hot. I think the AC had gone out for a bit. They said that they had eventually gotten it working but by that point it must be difficult to cool down a room of that size with that many people. Opening windows and doors once the sun started setting helped some and it did not seem to impact our guests' experience too much
- Communication about the construction. We had a construction disclaimer in our contract. Before signing I had asked if it would be in a location that would "impact the aesthetic of the ceremony site" They said No, absolutely not. On the day of our wedding there was construction (albeit not active) at the top of the lift the guests take up. While not technically the ceremony site, I felt like they could have been a little more forthcoming when I asked the question. I would have still considered this part of the aesthetic of the site, but I understand the nuance.
- Lightning delay duration. Immediately after our ceremony, there was a lightning alert. It rained for about 5 min and there were probably a couple of audible rumbles within that time. However, we had to stay in the yurts up until 30 min after the last visible lightning strike (and you can see quite a ways from the ridge) so ended up being close to 45 min - 1 hr. Now, I understand not running the lifts until its absolutely clear, but my guests were a bit frustrated that they had to remain confined to crowded, hot yurts when it was clear, blue sky outside. I think letting us out of the yurts with words of caution could have been acceptable. Our guests had all signed waivers..
- We wish that there were more beer options to have selected from and another seltzer option besides white claw
Finally, we really enjoyed our tasting as it was a fun dinner and allowed us to get to know Jennifer better; however, we wish we could have tasted some of the actual options for the reception food.-

My husband and I got married this September at Granby Ranch and were so pleased with the venue! Cassidy was incredibly accommodating and very professional. She was on my team from day one. We planned the wedding long-distance and Cassidy was always helpful with questions and helping me figure things out. Highly recommend the venue, especially with the most beautiful ceremony views! -

Granby Ranch was a beautiful venue for our destination wedding! We received great service from all of the staff. We were caught in between a transition of wedding coordinators so there were some things that didn't get communicated, but problems were quickly addressed and solved with Cassidy and her staff. Thank you for the most perfect day! -

Granby Ranch is the perfect place to have a wedding! It's a smaller ski area in Granby, CO that overlooks Grand County and the Indian Peaks at the top of the chairlift. You won't get high traffic from tourists here, and most houses in the ski area are family owned. The venue itself is pretty simple. Guests arrive to the lodge, ride the chairlift up, and then take in the beauty of the landscape from the top. It is breathtaking. White chairs are set up for your guests and the amount of flat ground space is generous. The aspen trees are just the finishing touch. After the ceremony, guests ride the chairlift down for the reception. The lodge where receptions take place is at the bottom of the chair lift so it is easy for guests to transition from the ceremony to the reception. Receptions are held upstairs in the dining area. It is a fairly large space with tall windows, a romantic fireplace, and an incredible patio that overlooks the ski hill. We had cocktail hour on the patio and then dinner and dancing inside. Many of our guests actually used the patio all night because of the cool breeze throughout the summer night. Emily, our wedding coordinator through Granby Ranch was very accommodating. She had everything exactly how we wanted and made sure every detail was met. She did everything she could to make sure we got the pictures we wanted (with Colorado storms threatening) . Emily also checked in with all of our other vendors to make sure things were going smoothly and and introduced me to the catering staff. The catering service also did a phenomenal job. Everything was delicious and they were accommodating to guests with allergies. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Granby Ranch. You will not be disappointed with this venue. If a chair lift wedding is what you are dreaming of, then this charming ski area will definitely steal your heart. We couldn't resist it after our first visit. -

We had an amazing wedding at Granby ranch. Theresa is great with helping plan the wedding/reception. We had a destination wedding and had never been to venue prior to the wedding. The food was great for our reception and rehearsal. Wait staff at the venue was hit or miss at times. Ceremony options are limited due short window of time that chairlift is open. The view from the top is worth it though. -

There were many things were were VERY happy with but a few things that could have been better. First- Vista Ridge is a super beautiful site and just stunning! If you can get married there. We got married on Sunday July 16th and after making our way up the chairlift at about 1:45/2pm- we were told there was a lightening storm 18 miles away and they could not let our guests up to the ceremony location and we would need to go down via a shuttle. What a bummer- especially after seeing nothing but blue skies on the chairlift up! So we decided to do a very quick ceremony with our bridal parties and parents up there- which was beautiful and special. Not what we expected but we made the best of the situation and had 2 ceremonies! I completely understand safety concerns & that this was out of peoples control. However- two things could have been handled better. First- the communication about this from the coordinators. When we booked- we were told there would be more flexibility (i.e. cocktail hour moved up and wedding later)- but the lift closes at 5pm no matter what. Second- the fact that they wouldn't let our two other ushers up for the ceremony or let us take the chairlift down while there were bikers allowed up the entire time. Most of our guests weren't able to have the chairlift experience but they watched a lot of bikers have it while they waited for ceremony #2 to start. Something to think about when you spend over $4,000 just for the wedding site.
Great things:
The food was fantastic! And good value.
Flexibility with beer choices!
The banquet lead was great- he was very professional and flexible with the changes due to weather.
Location!
Recs: If you love Vista Ridge and want a summer wedding- consider having your ceremony at noon. Also- set up times to talk with event coordinator- she's hard to get in touch with once it's June.
Overall- great location, great food, but communication and responsiveness could have been better. -

I so badly wanted to give Granby Ranch 5 stars. The chairlift ride, the views at Vista Ridge, having the bridal Yurt, and the experience itself were definitely 5 stars!! We had live band play outside during the cocktail hour on the upper deck and chose to have our first dance there right after we got off the chairlift. Granby Ranch was great at accommodating this. Jordan and Cassidy did a great job checking in on us and making sure we were able to try some of the appetizers. Everyone at GR, including the chair lift operators, were sweet and made us feel special. However, there were some items that did not go as initially planned. The responsiveness before our big day was difficult. I understood Granby Ranch was going through a transition; however, it often took multiple weeks and me emailing a couple of times to get a response. I knew they were overwhelmed, but I felt that some details were overlooked. During our ceremony, the speakers at Vista Ridge did not work. Some of our guests stated they could not hear. We chose to have our ceremony videotaped for a keepsake, and unfortunately are not able to hear any of it. The beers we agreed upon were different than what was actually provided at our reception. We also paid for a 90 minute cocktail hour and I heard from numerous guests that they had to pay for their drinks, even when they didn't ask for top shelf liquor! Most of my guests chose not to get a drink, as they believed they had to pay for it. This was a little frustrating to hear as I felt that our money for the cocktail hour went to waste. Overall, these became minor things throughout the day. Our wedding was still so much fun and unique. We had so many people complimenting how amazing this venue was. -

When we initially chose Granby Ranch the person in charge was Teresa Hill. However, a couple of months after we signed the contract Teresa took a different opportunity and Amy and Emily were hired to run Granby's wedding program. To say it was run poorly is almost an understatement. When the transition happened they didn't even bother to call the current clients and introduce themselves. We finally called after not hearing anything for 3 months. They were very unresponsive to questions and even when they did respond, Amy and Emily did not follow through with what they said they would do. For instance, on numerous occasions we either emailed or called to asked questions and were told they would get back with us by the end of the week or in a few days. Two weeks later we would have to call and follow up with them since they didn't call us back with their answer. It sometimes took three tries to get an answer. When it came time for our tasting, it wasn't until we asked how it was supposed to work that they sent us our menu options and told us we needed to pick a very limited number of items to taste. This was one week before our scheduled tasting when the tasting was scheduled months ago. This would have been helpful to know several weeks prior. There are many more examples I could give, but I will just say that they were very poor at being proactive and did an even more poor job at reacting to our needs. We felt the new staff was impersonal and took no interest in getting to know us.
It wasn't all bad though. The ceremony site was gorgeous and we absolutely loved vista ridge. Our guests continue to talk about the chairlift ride and the amazing views during the ceremony. Of all the sites we looked at, vista ridge's view of the continental divide was the best. Despite all of the avoidable and inexcusable pre-wedding stress that I felt was directly related to Granby Ranch staff our wedding day was GREAT and everything we had dreamt of. -

Beautiful spot, challenging planning
Granby ranch is an incredibly beautiful and memorable venue for a wedding. Our guests were blown away by the view at the top, the experience on the chairlift , and the food. However , as the bride and for my family, the process of planning with GR was very difficult. There seemed to be a lack of communication on the part of the GR staff-when we communicated something with one staff member it was not shared with others. When we went for our food tasting several months after scheduling it and asking for a vegetarian option, we were told we would the tasting meat dishes. When we asked to taste the dish that would be served to our guests we were originally told that it would cost us an extra $25 to taste it, and then there weren’t any times we were able to try it. Then, for the two months prior to our wedding, the staff was out of office and did not respond to emails in a timely manner. The software the GR staff uses for emails is outdated and not pleasant for the customer. We probably received 100+ emails simply saying someone was out of office. While the staff was trying their best and working very hard, there were some aspects of unprofessionalism that put some extra difficulty on us during wedding planning. The food luckily ended up being incredible- chef Liana is amazing and her food is delicious.
Overall, we had a fabulous wedding. My advice to anyone venue shopping would be to pick GR if you want an incredible view, have patience, and have a good wedding planner. -

Under New Management - Be very cautious
Do not have your wedding here. I spent a year and a half planning a wedding here only to have new management take over and cancel all 2020 events. The staff wasn't very good at communication, I had a lot of emails I had to send multiple times before I got a response. Just a very heart breaking a frustrating process overall. Just know that they are under new management so everything will be different going forward. -

So, I've noticed no one has recently reviewed this place since Teresa left, so I feel I owe it to future brides to write an honest review on how The Granby Ranch is NOW. When my husband and I signed our contract over a year ago, we toured the venue, did a tasting, and handled all of the planning with Teresa. SHE WAS AMAZING. However, they have Amy and Emily running the show now, and since Teresa left about September last year, it has been a DISASTER! Neither Amy nor Emily ever respond within 48 hours, and as a business owner myself, their responses were always so unprofessional! I had everything so organized and so planned out, and still on the wedding day there were SO many mistakes on specific things that I had MAPPED out for Emily. Thank goodness my bridal party and husband were there making sure everything was right, because without them everything would've been WRONG! I'm talking about simple things like table settings and ceremony setup, they originally had some linens ivory and some white when I had chosen all ivory linens.
They also nickel and dime you for everything. Initially when we paid our fees, it was in our budget. But they charge a little fee for EVERYTHING. We paid $100 for water at the ceremony cite, and the guests NEVER got any water. We also paid for a cake cutting service, but one of my guests had to cut the cake because catering said since they didn't make the cake they didn't have to cut it. WHAT?! I also know that their catering prices have almost doubled since we booked, so I can't even say that their venue is even affordable anymore.
Overall, service was AWFUL! We had to deal with Emily for months, and even with me mapping out simple instructions for her, she got everything wrong! When I pointed out her mistakes, she would respond with a snippy email a week after I wrote the initial email. So unreliable!! It's so disappointing because everything was so perfect when Teresa was there, and once she left it's just like night and day! -

I was the first bride this year to not get married at vista ridge, and I learned real fast, that Granby doesn't adapt well to things when they don't go according to plan. The speakers didn't work, so there was no audio for my ceremony. Due to the change in plans, we were ready to eat at 5:23, and we were told by catering that we had to wait until 5:30, because that's what the original plan was. I'm sorry...my plan was to marry my husband at the top of a mountain. I needed to be flexible, but Granby Ranch catering did not. Then, the "hosted" ice cream sunday station, consisted of pre-scooped, soupy ice cream cups. We started to run low and one of the Granby Caterers actually told my guests...Sorry...the bride and groom only paid for 60. WHAT?!? What sort of caterer actually turns to guests and tells them what a person has paid for?? Then, at the end of the night, the bar host would not take my card on file for the additional wine. Instead, he made my father-in-law of 2 hours provide his credit card. And when my wedding coordinator chose not to tip him as much as he felt he deserved, he gave her a hard time. They provided 160 napkins, even though my guest count was 166. When my coordinator asked for 6 more napkins, she was told "no." So 6 of my guests didn't get napkins! And the real kicker...after paying $23,000 dollars for the venue and food...someone from the grill below complained about the beat of my wedding dance music. My DJ's were asked to turn down the music!!!! Someone paying $12 dollars for a turkey sandwich was more valued than me, my husband, and our guests!! My only regret from my wedding is choosing to trust Granby Ranch. My flowers, DJ's and photographer were amazing! Emily is working on things, I give her credit for that. But if you're getting married here, be cautious. -
