Mount Vernon Canyon Club Reviews

My husband and I got married at Mount Vernon in September and when I say it was the most perfect day, I mean it. Mount Vernon was the first venue that we looked at after being engaged, and we felt like it could be our venue from the very first time we saw it. The grounds are beautiful, and ceremony, dinner, and reception areas are wonderful, and the staff is incredible. We met Barbara the first time we visited Mount Vernon and she was a huge part of the reason we ultimately ended up choosing Mount Vernon for our wedding venue. She has the biggest heart for her clients, cares deeply about what she does, and from the very beginning, she made us feel like she had everything 100% under control and reassured us that we would not need to stress at all about things running smoothly on wedding day. Everything about our wedding day was handled perfectly. As promised, Barbara and the entire staff at Mount Vernon made us feel so taken care of the entire day. Barbara was communicative the entire time leading up to the wedding and really did make sure every little detail was in place to ensure that our day went smoothly. We are so incredible grateful for Barbara for making our day exactly as we had hoped. In addition to the incredible staff, the food was delicious. Our guests complimented the food all night and many went up for seconds at the buffet. Our wedding day is a day we will never forget and we will always be so grateful we were able to have it at Mount Vernon. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day!!

Had my wedding here 9/1/2024.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Venue is beautiful with stunning views. Food is a top highlight (short rib!). Wait staff and bartenders were engaged and enthusiastic, unlike some other venues I’ve been too.

Nicole is a godsend. Definitely host your next event here.

My husband and I recently had the honor of celebrating our long-awaited destination wedding in Golden, Colorado (all the way from upstate NY) with 50 of our closest friends & family (all traveling from the east coast). Planning a destination wedding without a hired coordinator is no joke... but working Ms. Barbara Aguilar with Mount Vernon gave me full faith that they would be able to bring my wedding vision to life.

Working with Barbara and Mount Vernon Canyon Club to plan for our big day was convenient, detailed, and had a personal touch every step of the way. Their team worked with me remotely to pull together exactly what I wanted & more! I was able to share my vision with them and they provided me a full list of option and price points to meet all of our different requests - it truly took so much stress and time away to know that our big day was in excellent hands.

We couldn't have asked for much more from MVCC for our wedding! It was an incredible experience in every way! Nicole and her team were very responsive and accommodating of our every request leading up to the event. The venue itself is just spectacular - especially in the fall! And the day of, we couldn't have had better service at every turn. I'm so grateful for this venue and team helping to make our day one for the books!

Being from out of town, searching for venues is a little tricky. We looked at over 100 and I knew when I saw Mount Vernon Canyon Club online, that it was the right place for us. We flew out and met with Nicole and confirmed my original suspicion. The view of the mountains off the deck was exactly what we were looking for . Nicole was amazing with everything leading up to the day of the wedding, even when we had to change the date. She was great day of as well. The staff was incredibly attentive and I have never felt so special! Thank you to Nicole and the team for making our day so memorable!

I had been dreaming of a wedding at Mount Vernon as long as I can remember. Nicole and the rest of the staff made that dream come true with ease! The process was smooth and stress free. The venue itself is breath taking as you picture yourself saying your vows on the side of a gorgeous mountain. The food is mouthwatering. Everyone is so kind and attentive. I would recommend this experience to any couple looking for an elegant and affordable venue. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.

The weddings I've deejayed for here have been fun, and the photos with Colorado's mountains in the background are spectacular. This is one of Colorado's unique wedding venues. - www.DenversBestDjs.com

Nicole and her team at Mount Vernon Canyon Club did a fantastic job with our wedding! We really feel we got a ton of value for the price we paid. Our wedding went better than expected. We'd very highly recommend this venue!

We chose Mount Vernon as our wedding venue because of the incredible views and friendly staff. When we toured the venue and met Nicole, we knew we were in good hands! Unfortunely, on our wedding day (5/30/2021), we were welcomed with some not-so-great weather and completely took away all our views. Luckily, Nicole had a plan in place and still made the day absolutely perfect and SO MUCH FUN! Everybody raved about the service and the food, and I could not recommend Mount Vernon enough! Views or not! ;)

We are so fortunate we were able to host our wedding at Mount Vernon in September 2021. We had originally planned for a June 2020 wedding and Nicole worked tirelessly with us to get a new date planned when the pandemic was in full-force. My husband and I do not live in Colorado and throughout the planning process, Nicole was prompt to respond to any and all questions we had. It made planning from a distance much less of a burden than I expected it to be. She also provided exceptional vendor requests for various inquiries I had regarding hair stylists in the area, shuttles, etc. We ended up having our ceremony on the Lower deck and our reception in the Canyon room. Our guests were awed by the incredible mountain views and we were so impressed with the hospitality of Nicole and the wait staff. I was really touched that the wait staff obliged with our requests to wear masks. That meant a lot for the comfort and safety of our guests. Also, when the shuttles were running behind, one of the wait staff politely came to the bridal suite to ask if I wanted to push the ceremony back a bit. I appreciated her coming to me and her comforting nature. Lastly, the wait staff were very on it with filling drinks, waters, and clearing plates. The food received rave reviews. We had oven roasted chicken, salmon, and vegetarian risotto as entree options. They took note of the guests with allergies and we heard nothing but positive affirmations of how delicious the food was.
We truly cannot recommend Mount Vernon enough for your special day. It is by far one of the more affordable venues we looked at and the views were unbeatable. We thank Nicole and Mount Vernon for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

I wanted to add that the pictures our photographer took below the deck in the grassy area were out of a magazine. You cannot beat the picture locations available at this venue!

Overall, our wedding day was perfect. It was an amazing wedding celebration at a beautiful venue. Everyone had such a great time.

The food was absolutely delicious, especially the sauce on the pork chops! All of our guests loved the food.

My family also commented on how nice and polite all of the staff was during the wedding.

The planning process went great. Nicole was very prompt with responding to myself and my day of wedding coordinators. It was greatly appreciated!

Mount Vernon Canyon Club is a HIDDEN GEM!!! Due to COVID we had to replan our wedding 3x and the third time was a charm. 5 weeks before our wedding we met with Nicole and pulled off a perfect ceremony and extended cocktail hour with music, which was perfect. My officiant even said - "only in colorado is your back up to your back up this amazing!" The backdrop is amazing, with lots of great scenery around for photos. The food was great, as was the staff. They were accommodating to whatever we wanted to do and we felt very safe from a COVID POV. They offered us a getting ready space that perfectly met our needs and all for a VERY reasonable price!

Shannon and the venue were amazing!! About 6 weeks from our wedding date our original venue cancelled due to Covid. Shannon was so quick to respond throughout the entire booking and planning process, which was HUGE with having to basically replan a floor plan, menu, cake, decorations, etc in about a month. We had so many compliments on the food (one person even texted us during dinner, another is still raving about the cake days later). The variety and options as well as the taste were all amazing. And EVERYONE complimented on the view and told us countless times that we didn't "settle" in choosing a new venue, this would have been a great first choice! One guest even told us they want to plan their next company event there. Service was amazing, the bartender made the best drinks, and tons of photo opportunities with different views. I can't say enough great things about Shannon and this venue!

I had been a member of the Mount Vernon/ Genesee community for many years when my husband died in 2012. Five year later, I found my second life partner and was standing at the altar again at MVCC in July 2019. This was the heart of the community that held my family up and raised us and we couldn't have celebrated in a more beautiful, meaningful and perfect venue. We had a short time to plan a multicultural (American and Pakistani) wedding for immediate family and Nicole made the planning so easy and pleasant. We wanted to fill a large space with a small group and she helped us plot a kings table and all the distinct areas. We wanted to create some distinct areas for ceremony, hors d'oeuvres and reception since all were essentially in the same room. Ceremony and hors d'oeuvres were outside. Reception with kings table and dancing were inside. Her communications were clear and prompt and friendly, whether in person, email, phone or text. From beginning to end, Nicole made us feel very special and I wouldn't change a thing. The setting, service and food were excellent. Love that I can say our wedding, was beautiful, meaningful, fun and easy.

My husband and I knew from the first glance that this is the most beautiful venue we have ever seen. We planned our wedding from out of state but Shannon made it an amazing experience! She is so wonderful and sweet. She answered all our questions and she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable with everything! The food is truly amazing, all our guests commented on it.
Thank you!

Mount Vernon Canyon Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. The location and decor were beautiful (I loved how the café lights turned out in our photos!), the food was FANTASTIC (we went with plated options and everything was a hit), the cake was spectacular (went with a naked cake which was beautiful and tasted even better!), and the service was exceptional. We loved how easy Nicole was to work with and how she and the rest of the team made sure everything went perfectly. They even held a phone for the ceremony so my grandparents could watch from home on FaceTime. Everything was above and beyond. I highly recommend!!

Planning a Colorado wedding from Illinois was easy while working with Shannon Engler from Mount Vernon Canyon club. The perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness from the staff made for a stress free wedding day! Not only was the food delicious, but the two vegan meals provided upon request were raved about. I highly recommend this venue.

They were lovely from start to finish! Helpful staff, GREAT food, lovely scenery. Couldn’t recommend them any higher.

My husband and I had our wedding at Mount Vernon Country Club and we couldn't have been more satisfied! The views are breathtaking, the food was delicious and the staff was always helpful and professional. We booked our wedding nearly two years in advance and they always responded promptly to my questions (and I had a lot of them). Even when we had a mishap and had to delay our ceremony, they helped keep our guests happy and distracted by starting our bar service early. That gave us just enough time to correct the problem and continue on with our wedding as if it had never happened. Excellent venue!

My (now) husband and I got married at Mount Vernon Country Club on October 9, 2015. I have to say everything went perfect! Everyone always warns you to be prepared in case something goes wrong. It could have been big or small, and I can honestly look back on our wedding day and say that I can not think of a single thing that went wrong. Everything went very smoothly, Nicole was amazing! She kept everything on track the day of, and answered any last minute questions I had.

She and the rest of her team were also very helpful during the planning process. She timely answered any and all questions I had, whether it be via email or phone. The food was amazing. We used Mount Vernon CC for our catering and our wedding cake. All of our guests loved the food! It was definitely the talk of the night.

And our wedding cake!? Perfect! We only had a few pictures of what we wanted, and were a bit wishy washy with the whole concept of what we wanted our cake to look like, but the baker nailed it! Everything that I was picturing in my head turned out perfectly!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The views were amazing, the staff was very friendly, professional, and accommodating, and I am so thankful that we chose to get married at Mount Vernon Country Club!

All I can say is- WOW! If you are looking for a venue with INCREDIBLE views, incredible service, and phenomenal food- this is your spot! I worked with Steve Center & Nicole Truax, and I can't speak highly enough of the service they provided. From helping me to customize signature cocktails, picking the appetizer and dinner menus, tastings, the cake- I could go on and on. They even helped me to create a late night snack bar for our guests, and they also provided us with platters of snacks for the wedding party for the day-of.

The food was incredible- I've gotten so many compliments on all of the appetizers, and mainly for the dinner that was served- Steak & Crab. The steak was the most tender steak I've ever had.. I was still talking about it the next morning wishing I had that for breakfast :)

The pastry chef was also amazing- our cake was not only beautiful, but DELICIOUS.

The service couldn't have been any better- the head waiter went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

If you're looking for a spot that can't be beat- I highly recommend you stop looking, and go here! Thanks again for everything, MVCC!

The employees here are very friendly, helpful, there for you. They check up on you to make sure you don't need anything. You are not rushed while you are there.

Our wedding was absolutely stunning!! Nicole Truax at the venue was a superstar, keeping everyone on time and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. There was such good cross-vendor communication to make our day as perfect as possible. Nicole helped me plan for about a year and it was so much better than I could have ever imagined! I would highly highly recommend MVCC for both a stunning backdrop for your wedding and an incredibly generous, professional and kind staff.

Two months after our daughter's wedding, family and friends are still talking about the beauty of the venue, the fabulous appetizers and wonderful Colorado themed menu. The Colorado Mountains are the perfect backdrop for a stunning ceremony. Nicole was an incredible asset in helping us planning the day! The staff made everyone welcome and took care of more details than I ever expected a venue to provide. Mt. Vernon went above and beyond to make the day perfect!

I want to thank Barbara Aguilar and the entire MVCC Staff for your assistance in making the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society Annual Banquet a wonderful experience. The spectacular venu, the great food, and great staff helped to make our banquet a hit with our members. Thanks again, Ken
