  Perfect venue

  Loved the venue! The view, the the bridal suite, reception hall, the owners! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to have my wedding

  One word Fantastic

  Haven’t had our wedding yet, but the venue is absolutely stunning both inside and outside the reception and ceremony areas. Lark and Janine are amazing and down to earth. So excited for our big day and so happy we’ll be having it at Once Upon a Time LLC!!

  A Hidden Gem!

  From the very beginning, Lark & Janine have been the nicest people to work with! They have been more than accommodating with our requests to see the venue to different family members and having to postpone due to COVID. We are getting married in May of 2021 and can't wait! You cannot beat the price and flexibility of this venue. The views are a dream and like I said, we can't wait!

  Beautiful venue, amazing hosts - highly recommended!

  We had a wonderful experience working with Lark and Janine at Once Upon a Time Events. Planning a wedding in 2020 was extremely challenging and they were flexible, communicative, supportive, and professional throughout the process. They worked with us to make sure that we could reschedule from May to October, and when we did have our wedding in the fall they were outstanding hosts, going above and beyond to make sure everything went as we hoped. In addition, they have good relationships with potential vendors and were happy to put us in touch with individuals or businesses they thought would provide us with the best services at reasonable costs. The venue itself is beautiful any time of year, and all our guests (even socially-distanced!) had a wonderful time, raving about the venue and amazingly lovely hosts. We would absolutely recommend Once Upon a Time Events!

  Our September Wedding

  We would absolutely recommend this wonderful venue! Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Lark and Janine. Every detail was met, the barn is absolutely beautiful, the views at the ceremony site are gorgeous. Lark and Janine are more than accommodating, we stayed the night and they brought us coffee and quiche in the morning. Simply Fabulous

  Best Day Ever

  You will not find a more accommodating wedding venue than Once Upon a Time Events in Kiowa, Colorado.
  Throughout the whole planning process, Janine and Lark were there to help and answer any questions. I would shoot them an email and in no less than an hour later I would get an answer back. They let my husband and I come to the venue numerous times family and friends to plan for our big day.
  on the day of our rehearsal, they let us come as early as we wanted to set up which allowed us to spend our whole wedding day relaxing and enjoying our family and friends.
  on the day of our wedding, our family and friends could not believe how quaint and beautiful the venue was. it is the picturesque place to start your new marriage and journey with your partner. we cannot thank them enough for making our time so special!

  Once in a Lifetime

  We chose this venue after looking all over the front range. It was absolutely perfect. The location is out of the way but the accommodations are worth it. The gardens were gorgeous and the new ceremony site overlooks an amazing view of the plains. All of my vendors were very happy with the the facility and there was always someone around to answer questions. Both owners are so helpful and positive you can tell they love there property and having events there. From the spacious barn reception area to the wrap around lighted decks there was plenty of room for all to mingle and relax. If you have not found your venue yet, they are more than worth the drive.

  Beautiful Venue

  We chose this venue for our wedding. It was the first place we looked at, and didn’t need to look any further. From the first time we met them, Janine and Lark were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place

  Beautiful Location and Wonderful Owners!

  My husband and I held a large reception at Once Upon a Time. The space was open and versatile, so it was easy to accommodate all of our ideas and requests. We had an opportunity to take pictures at the property beforehand—the grounds had several areas that were perfect for taking beautiful photos. Lark and Janine were a pleasure to work with! They were always available to answer our questions and helped the event go smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with how our reception turned out and would very highly recommend this lovely venue!

  My dreams came true at this venue!!! Everything was so nice and I could not have asked for more, even though the owners would have gladly given it. I feel so lucky to have found this place with the views and all the things that made an event go smoothly. Words cannot say how grateful I am to Janine and Lark for their hospitality. Thank you!!!!!

  The absolute best ever. The owners and the venue are beyond superb. Janine and Lark are as hands on or hands off as you want. They are extremely helpful, professional, kind, and amazing. This entire experience gained me two more family friends from these two. The place was beautiful and my extended family is very opinionated and not a single person said anything but amazing, great things about the venue. This was made to be the most stress free, beautiful, perfect day ever thanks to Lark, Janine, and the entire venue. I feel so blessed to have been the first event here!!!
