Words alone cannot express how breathtaking the view at Granby Ranch is! It is picture perfect and straight out of a fairytale. Every single staff member at Granby Ranch was amazing to work with, and Jennifer in particular was the best! We are super grateful for the beautiful experience and the wonderful ceremony we had. Our wedding was everything we wanted, and our guests continue to rave about the amazing views, the delicious food, and their personal experiences. 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! -

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! -

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! -

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!!! -

Jordyn W. Sent on 09/20/2021Better 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! -

Ann H. Sent on 08/30/2021The 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!Granby Ranch's reply:
Hello Ann and Taylor! (You will always be Ann + Taylor to me!)

Andrea B. Sent on 09/22/2021AMAZING - 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!! -
User2354032 Sent on 10/06/2015Our 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!!! -
User1997750 Sent on 01/05/2015My 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!

User2015019 Sent on 01/19/2015Granby 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!
