From the Lens of Colleen’s Captures
As a photographer, working at the Highland Ranch Mansion is always a highlight. The estate manages to feel both incredibly grand and deeply intimate, offering a variety of textures that photograph beautifully in Colorado’s shifting light.
The historic architecture provides a sophisticated backdrop that doesn't need much "dressing up." I particularly love the contrast between the refined indoor spaces and the sprawling outdoor grounds. Whether we are utilizing the wood-paneled interiors for a moody, poetic portrait or the expansive gardens for those raw, open-air moments, the site offers endless versatility.
From a technical standpoint, the way the light hits the mansion during the golden hour is stunning. The orientation of the property allows for gorgeous backlighting, which is perfect for capturing natural, unforced beauty. The staff is also exceptionally professional and understands the flow of an event, which makes it much easier for me to focus on documenting the day as it unfolds.
If you are looking for a venue that feels timeless and allows for a values-first celebration surrounded by natural beauty, the Highland Ranch Mansion is a stellar choice. I always look forward to returning here to capture more stories. -

Highlands Ranch Mansion was everything I could have hoped for in a venue and more. From the very first tour, the staff was organized, professional, and so easy to communicate with. They guided us through every step of the process with clarity and made sure every detail was accounted for. On the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly and right on time; it truly felt effortless. The grounds and the mansion itself are absolutely breathtaking, and every corner feels like a photo opportunity. Especially with my husband being from Northern Ireland, everyone who sees the picture keeps thinking it was a destination wedding in the highlands! Our guests could not stop complimenting how stunning the setting was. It was the perfect canvas for our day, and the level of professionalism from the staff made it even more special. -

A perfect day at a beautiful venue. Our wedding day was absolutely dreamy! The staff at the Mansion were a pleasure to work with - especially their patience and flexibility with our unique ceremony set up. As we dreamed about our wedding day, it was a blessing to see it all come together at the Highlands Ranch Mansion! With so many wedding venue options available, we were grateful to be able to host both our wedding ceremony and reception on the same beautiful property. The estate is maintained with an unparalleled attention to detail - with an abundance of parking, stunning mountain views, and romantic & historic rooms to get ready in. We couldn't have worked with a better team or chosen a more perfect location for our celebration! -

The Highlands Ranch Mansion will forever hold a special place in our hearts because of the beautiful day we had there. The building and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and offers so much for a wedding. There is a beautiful indoor ceremony spot that is light and airy and many outdoor ceremony spots as well. One thing I loved about this space is how easy it was to divide our day in. There were separate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces that we were able to utilize throughout the whole day and helped divide the day as well. There is also a ton of flexibility for how the space is used, and the staff was more than happy to walk us through that! There was also plenty of areas for our guests to explore and they all mentioned how much fun they had exploring a mansion. It was all beautiful and picturesque.
The staff we worked with, Courtney and Christina, were quick to respond to all of our emails and were wonderful to work with. Christina was the one to help us with our day of event and it all went so smoothly because of her and her team.
Finally, I can say that the mansion has a set list of caterers and I actually found this very helpful when picking vendors. I had such piece of mind knowing that the day of my wedding would have vendors that were actually familiar with the mansion. It was stress free because of this.
I would highly recommend the mansion as a wedding venue for anyone who wants an elegant, beautiful, and memorable day. -

Loved it 10/10
The Mansion itself is a beauty beyond words and the staff is even more incredible. We enjoyed our wedding reception for 100+ here in early April and we highly recommend it as a venue. The flow of the night was seamless. We had a dove release, cocktail hour, and dinner all in separate but intimate spaces and got to use the upstairs as a babysitting area, it was beyond perfect. Christina and Courtney were the best event coordinators ever, and communicated beautifully. Absolutely pick Highlands Ranch Mansion for your next event -

Matt Sent on 12/30/2023Stunning Wedding Venue
The mansion is an amazing wedding venue! We fell in love at first sight. There is so much space available to you and of the historic properties in the Metro area, you won't find one that has nearly this much to offer at this price. It is immaculately maintained compared to some we saw, and options you have for photos are incredible any time of year.
There are almost too many choices for where you can have your ceremony, but you can't go wrong with any of them. We got married in December with live musicians, so we used the Solarium and it was an excellent backdrop for our ceremony.
Both the bride and groom have access to great suites to get ready in. They are on separate floors, so you will not see each other unless you make that choice.
The reception hall has ample space to host dinner and dancing. We had ~100 people and did not need to move tables out of the way to provide a dance floor after dinner.
The mansion provides a stunning background - inside and outside - for any special event. So happy we got married here!
Last note: the bathrooms at the mansion are top notch as well. At some of the mansions around town, you'll only find single occupancy restrooms. Here you have full, modern bathrooms. -

Our wedding at the Highlands Ranch Mansion was straight out of a fairytale. The historic architecture combined with the picturesque gardens delivered a backdrop of timeless elegance, making our day enchanting.
Special kudos to Madison, our event coordinator. Her professionalism and dedication ensured every detail was spot-on. Working with the attentive staff at the Highlands Ranch Mansion was a breeze; they transformed our dreams into reality- even when it rained all day and we had to move our ceremony inside.
The mansion's ambiance, rich with historic significance, added a unique charm to our memories. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue. The blend of grandeur, service, and enchantment is unparalleled. If you're seeking an extraordinary wedding experience- Highlands Ranch Mansion is the way to go.

What a beautiful place for a wedding
Courtney and Christina were wonderful to work with. The day of the wedding went off beautifully (even with a little rain). All of our guests marveled at the splendor and beauty of the mansion and the surrounding landscape. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! -

The event space was gorgeous and was able to accommodate our wedding perfectly. The entire space was amazing, from the bridal suite down to the guest bathrooms. The ceremony and reception space were a dream! The staff was very kind and considerate, and our day went off without a hitch, thanks to them. Shout out to Courtney and Christina! They were great about keeping in contact with us and setting up several meetings in advance to go over any details we might not have considered. Overall, I cannot imagine having my special day anywhere else. -

This venue was such a dream. Every part of the process was done with ease because of HRM. They keep this venue spotless and perfect it exactly how you want. I don’t regret this venue at all. Couldn’t recommend Highlands Ranch Mansion enough!!! -

Our Dream Venue
The Highland Ranch Mansion was what my Husband and I would call our "dream venue". The whole property was absolutely breathtaking! We primarily worked with Jaye and she was fabulous to work with. Unfortunately due to COVID we did have to postpone our wedding from May until August. They were wonderful at making sure we were up-to-date with what was going on through out it all. We are in Florida so it was difficult to begin with to plan a "destination" wedding but to add COVID to the mix... Jaye and Charlie made sure that my husband and I were always in the loop and gave us plenty of options if we needed to cancel or postpone (again). We could not have picked a more perfect wedding venue and we are so blessed to have worked with Jaye and her team!

Maddie Sent on 10/20/2020Highlands Ranch Mansion-AMAZING!
We had planned our October 2020 wedding at HRM, and COVID forced us to switch things around a little bit. Not only did the mansion and their staff (Jaye and Charli especially) make sure our new date for next year was secure, but they helped us create a mini ceremony so we could still get married this year. Jaye and Charli were organized, communicative and incredibly easy to work with. The mansion itself is absolutely gorgeous, and we feel so lucky we get to celebrate there twice. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with staff who will take care of everything and more, this is your place! -

The search for the perfect wedding venue was a very important one. I was planning a Harry Potter themed wedding, so I needed a venue that visually fit. Of course, what could be better than a historic mansion! It became my own personal castle that day, and we recreated the Great Hall, complete with the long house tables and candles floating in the air. Having a space to get ready upstairs was really fantastic. The only bummer was that we weren’t allowed to use sparklers for our exit. Jaye and Charlie were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, and I couldn’t have been happier. My guests were in awe of the mansion’s beauty, and it will be a very special place for my husband and I for the rest of our lives. -

Fairytale Venue
We had our late October wedding at the mansion and oh my goodness am I so glad we did! I have received endless compliments on the venue specifically, it is just so beautiful and the perfect setting for a happily ever after. The one thing I would warn brides and grooms about if they are considering booking the mansion, is the cost of alcohol you must order through the highlands ranch metro district. In all fairness, I knew exactly what I was signing up for before I signed the contract, and the staff was very upfront with me about costs, but that didn't lessen the sting of sticker shock when it came time to order. However, I would do it all again and it was for sure worth it! Just make sure you budget for drinks! -

The Perfect Venue!
The Highlands Ranch Mansion is absolutely beautiful and the setting definitely makes you feel like a princess on your wedding day. All of the Mansion staff was very helpful and great to work with. On my wedding day, the grounds looked wonderful and we had so many compliments from our guests that it was the perfect venue! -

Monica Sent on 07/31/2025The Perfect Setting for a One-of-a-Kind Wedding
My daughter and son-in-law got married at the mansion this past weekend, and it turned out absolutely beautiful! One of the highlights was having exclusive use of the entire venue—it felt private, spacious, and truly offered great value. The elegant, historic setting was full of charm and created the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and really enjoyed touring the mansion during cocktail hour.
The staff, especially Madison Drab, were friendly and accommodating. With much of our bridal party traveling from out of town, we really appreciated their flexibility. They worked with us through a few last-minute changes and helped everything run smoothly on the big day.
Keep in mind that booking this venue means you’ll need to coordinate separate vendors for catering, music, rentals, and other services. It does take some upfront planning and organization, but it’s completely manageable—especially if you start early.
Fortunately, the mansion provides a preferred vendor list, which we found incredibly helpful. The recommended vendors were familiar with the space and its logistics, making the process much more efficient and stress-free.
In the end, all the extra effort was well worth it. Having the flexibility to choose our own vendors allowed us to personalize every detail, and the result was a wedding that truly reflected the bride and groom’s vision.
If you're looking for a stunning, one-of-a-kind venue and are willing to do a bit of coordinating, Highlands Ranch Mansion is a fantastic choice. Thank you for helping create such a memorable day!

Beautiful Wedding Venue1
Our wedding was absolutely AMAZING at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. We were part of the COVID weddings and originally we were going to get married in 2020. We moved our wedding to 2021 and they were amazing to work with and made sure I was happy with any changes that were made. They do have specific vendors they want you to use, but they truly are wonderful. We received so many compliments from our guests about what a great venue it was and were told multiple times that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. Our guests enjoyed exploring the mansion while we finished our pictures and it is gorgeous in its natural beauty. You can add as many or as little decorations because it is just beautiful. The mansion staff were very easy to work with and we had the wedding of our dreams! Highly Recommended! -

Meagan Sent on 02/08/2018The wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you so much for giving brides and grooms such a beautiful and memorable space to celebrate. Our guests were wowed by the beauty of the mansion and G and I were so happy. Not only is the space stunning but the mansion staff went above and beyond to accommodate our guests by creating a comfortable space for breastfeeding mamas to nurse and change the babies in private.
Before we decided to get married at the mansion, we read quite a few reviews about people being annoyed with restrictions. We wanted to say that we did not have any issues with restrictions and felt that any and all requests made by the mansion in terms of usage were completely reasonable. This is a historic building that should be treated with respect just as any other space should. Don’t be put off by those reviews, friends!
Courtney - you were lovely and we appreciate everything you guys did the help set up the day.

Noto Beauty and The Beast Wedding
On October 21, 2023 my daughter and son-in-law had a themed Beauty &the Beast wedding at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. The mansion was the perfect venue along with the couple encompassing the characters! The wedding seemed to touch all the guests, wedding party, venders and the staff. The staff was amazing they made sure everything was just right! I would recommend the HRM highly to anyone planning a special wedding! Choosing the venue is the first thing we did, the importance of having a good venue is what starts a MAGICAL wedding experience -

Kelsi Sent on 08/14/2013The venue was absolutely beautiful, and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else; however, our coordinator was unbelievably unhelpful. If you choose the Mansion, be sure you work with anyone else at the venue but Jaye. She only works two days a week, gives contradictory information, does not always respond to emails and requests, and is very difficult to work with. When she tells you that the rental for the entire day allows you to have access to the mansion for the full day, what it really means is that you have access up to two hours before the event, which is considered a gift from them, not something that you pay for. She wouldn't allow our cake baker in to the venue before 3:00 pm although we had paid the extra $700 an hour for three hours so that we could have access and start getting ready at the mansion at 12:30. She was very unhelpful, rude, and very sneaky about the "catches" in their contracts. Be sure to read every line because what she tells you is in the contract is NOT what is actually in the contract.Highlands Ranch Mansion's reply:
Hi Kelsi,
We are so very sorry to hear that your experience with our staff and service was less than desired. We appreciate your specific comments regarding our response time and our contract, and we have made strides to improve our service based on your experience. Again, thank you for your feedback. We loved being a part of your special day, and we hope to see you here at the Mansion again soon.
