North Star Gatherings Reviews

North Star Gatherings is where magic happens. If you are looking for the perfect blend of mountain seclusion and modern dreaminess, you have found it. We loved this venue from the moment we saw photos of it, but seeing it in person and working with the staff has really elevated our appreciation for it in a way that's hard to describe. The entire North Star team are the sweetest, most helpful, and best cheerleaders you can hope for. It's clear that they truly care about the couples they work with; they are so quick to answer questions, willing to help work with your vision, and just all around genuine, professional, and wonderful people. The venue itself is stunning; it truly feels as though you have rented out an entire mountain for the night. Guests had compliments pouring in over the location and it was such a destination, even with us just coming up from Denver. We would so highly recommend North Star for an event space and will forever hold a special place in our hearts for it!

To this day, we still can’t remember how we found out about North Star Gatherings, but we’ll just go with our guardian angel, since this is where they would’ve led us anyways. Where oh where to begin… this place is Magical. When we set out to find a venue in CO, we made ourselves a little road trip tour for a weekend all over and this place was the one that we could not stop thinking about. We live in FL and did a destination wedding in CO where we wanted to share with our family members the enchantment that comes from being in the mountains. The ceremony deck at NSG left us in awe. There is nothing like it. There are so many venues to choose from and it can become a balancing act of pros and cons. The view, the décor, the cost, the food/bev options, the hotel, etc. It gets overwhelming. With NSG, we found that we could a la cart to ensure almost all of our pros for a venue. It was simple from the standpoint of only having to pay a flat cost to secure the venue. That challenge, if you’re up for it, is assembling the team yourself; finding the caterer, florist, DJ, etc. To us, we saw this as a pro, because it meant we could have complete control over all of these aspects of our special day instead of being stuck with the venues in house vendors. The venue itself is so beautifully designed and is so new, which we loved. The deck is obviously the main selling point with a view that will leave a mark on your memory that is unforgettable. We loved that after our ceremony, our guests would be able to continue to soak up the views on the covered side deck where we did our cocktail hour. Inside, the venue is so spacious and is a wonderful canvas to paint your dream wedding design onto. They didn’t overdo the interior, but they also didn’t overlook the details that were put in place. The fireplace is such a beautiful feature to the space as well as the chandeliers. We loved everything about this venue. Literally perfect. The staff was so easy to work with and once you book, you get access to a couple’s FB group which was amazing! Everyone shares ideas about things they did, people ask questions about things you could do, and not only are prior/upcoming couples helpful, but the staff is also in the group and is so helpful with questions pertaining to policies, dimensions, layouts, amenities, rules, etc. We feel so lucky to have had our wedding here and are so thankful to the staff for accommodating us for our special day!

Choosing North Star Gatherings for our wedding venue was truly the best decision that my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. If you want a venue that will blow your guests away and make your photos look straight out of a mountain bridal magazine then book this venue!!
Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the staff is responsive and this venue allows you to create your wedding day however you wish. The facebook group of booked couples is another added bonus to this venue! It is a great space to collect ideas and suggestions from other couples.
Overall I highly recommend this venue to any engaged couple!

A hip, new special events venue that's close to Denver but nestled in the mountains, seemingly a million miles away from you and your guests day-to-day. Beautiful views with an intuitive and open layout - this is a family-owned and operated spot run with heart and character at the forefront. The music can go late, and you'll want it to. Book your date before the word gets out - North Star Gatherings is going to be in demand for a long time to come.

North Star Gatherings was an amazing place to get married. We originally had a different venue booked, but had to find an alternative a few weeks before our wedding (thanks COVID). They were beyond accommodating and responded to us quickly. I wouldn't change a thing about our day, and am so grateful the other venue fell through. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the view and the beauty of the venue! Evin and Barry put thought into every detail of their venue and it shows. I would highly recommend Northstar to anyone looking to have their wedding IN THE MOUNTAINS at a beautiful, fun, laid back, but well put together location. (Side-note: I was nervous about the road because it is a mountain road, but not one guest complained about it and they were all from Wisconsin where mountains don't exist. We did hire a shuttle for those who were over served, but many people opted out and drove themselves home. As long as you drive slow its a piece of cake!)

Gorgeous venue! The Mountain views are stunning, I loved being able to have our wedding at North Star Gatherings! Evan and Barry were awesome to work with and I would highly recommend getting married here!

We are so excited to use this location. It really does not get better than this. We toured just prior to the construction finishing up and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. We have looked at (what feels like hundreds) a handful of venues and none have given me this feeling. We both were so pleased and could NOT be happier! Evin was so kind and personable and we truly look forward to working more with her and the venue!!

I helped plan and design a styled shoot at this location. The venue owners were so nice and the building and views are beyond! This is a great place if you are looking for a one-stop venue for ceremony and reception while giving your guests a taste of the Colorado mountain experience.

Our catering team was up there in August for a gorgeous wedding. Barry and Evin were super kind and helpful and the space is so well designed for both guests and vendors. Gorgeous views and venue!

Have your wedding here!!! NSG is absolutely breathtaking! Every one of our guests raved about the views and overall experience at the venue. Having your wedding at NSG is an experience your guests will never forget.

It's a pretty venue with a great view of the mountains.

I never thought I would be writing this post and especially about the venue we had,but I feel like if I don’t warn people of what might happen it would be a huge disservice to upcoming brides so here we go..

North Star Gatherings- The venue is incredible, everything we hoped for and more aesthetically. We had our wedding in October, specifically a day it snowed. I could care less about the snow and was very much communicating that to the venue long before our day. Our ceremony was short so I knew people wouldn’t be outside long and everyone that came to our wedding was fine with it as well. From the second I walked into the venue my wedding planner( who was AMAZING) communicated to me that the venue manger was already panicking about any snow that day and was potentially trying to make us leave early. I didn’t think much of it because it’s Colorado, it snows and it’s a venue in the mountains so I figured they would be prepared for this, boy was I wrong.

Every time I saw the venue manger she was panicking. She said about 30 seconds worth of conversation to me and my fiancé the ENTIRE day but was telling everyone else. Finally my wedding planner said to me as we were eating dinner, the venue manger had called the owners( who weren’t at the venue) and the owners are saying we have to leave. We had the venue until 11pm and we had everyone on shuttles by 7pm. To say this was a giant disappointment is an understatement since only 3 people felt uncomfortable and that was only the people with the venue, none of my other vendors felt like we need to leave that early.

After our wedding I emailed the venue to express my huge disappointment in the day which was received by an apology from the manager over the venue( not ours that day) and a non apology from the owners. They did give us a refund for the time not spent there but that doesn’t even come close to making things right. Some of our other vendors will not give refunds because they didn’t make the call the venue did.

After talking about this situation with several people in the wedding business it sounds like this isn’t the first time they haven’t been prepared for winter weather and yet nothing has changed. So please please be careful about when you book NSG and if you do I would get in writing their plan if there is weather they don’t feel comfortable with.
