Jm Sent on 07/18/2022Simply the Best
This place is magical. I did a LOT of research before choosing Rist Canyon Inn, and there is simply no better venue for an indoor/outdoor wedding in Northern Colorado. The owners of the property are wonderful, generous, attentive people who were a joy to work with. Their wedding coordinator, Amie, was a lifesaver about seventy different times throughout the planning process and day-of. The venue itself is breathtaking: it's the perfect balance of natural wild beauty and subtle elegant touches. I loved that it didn't feel cookie-cutter or like a packaged deal; we got to make it our own and truly feel like the space was ours. I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect place for such an unforgettable day.Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Jaclyn,
Wow! What an incredible review. You and Daniel were a joy to host, and your families are wonderful. It makes our job truly enjoyable.
And when couples are happy it makes all of what we do worth it. Thank you so very much. Emily and I wish you and Daniel a wonderful life! Allan -

Ashley M. Sent on 11/09/2023The perfect place to get married.
Rist Canyon was the perfect place to get married and I wish I could relive the day over and over again. Everything was so seamless, the coordinators they work with are awesome, the main house/bridal suite was so much fun to stay in the night before, cleanup at the end of the night was so quick. The fact you get to use outside vendors makes this place very budget friendly! They had a very quick response time too! I have nothing but amazing things to say about it!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Ashley,
Once again thank you for the incredible review.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Amanda Sent on 10/09/2023Best. Venue. EVER.
This was the first venue we toured and we fell in love with the environment, the owners, and especially the lighting in the reception hall. We live in Fort Collins and wanted to be close enough to town that our guests were able to explore. Having somewhere you can get ready, have the ceremony, and reception is such a dream! Everything flows so well from one beautiful location on-site to another. We heard from many of our friends and family that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to. I’m so glad we had our wedding here! You can also have your dog join the festivities!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Amanda,
Thank you for that incredible review. When our couples are happy it makes us happy. You created an absolutely beautiful wedding. I hope that you and Mitch have a wonderful life together! All the Best,

Lara T. Sent on 11/14/2023Beautiful space! Lovely owners! What's not to like?
We would emphatically suggest this venue to any wedding couple. Having such a charming and mountainesque locale... with beautiful Fort Collins nearby was just perfect for us. Plenty of lodging and things to do for visitors and not too far to travel for any Denver folks. Highly recommend!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hi Lara,

Raven R. Sent on 09/12/2019Beautiful Venue. Great Owners. Amazing Weddings.
This is one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever worked at as a caterer! Not only does the venue capture you with it's charm, the owners, Allen and Emily are amazing people to work with. They are professional, they are detail oriented, they have thought of everything in building this venue, and they even make sure that the lighting in the hall is just perfect for you and your guests. I would recommend this venue to anybody looking for great customer service, Colorado charm and views that you will be thinking about long after a wedding! 10/10 for RCI!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Raven,
Thank you for that amazing review - as a venue owner it means a great deal to me! I want to say you were delightful and the food so delicious! A pleasure to meet you! I hope to see you again soon. Allan -

Picture Perfect Day
Allan and Emily have created a true paradise in Laporte with Rist Canyon Inn. The venue is beautiful beyond belief with the exquisitely maintained old farmhouse and cabin to the event hall with beautiful lighting. It's the perfect distance from town for guests to travel to with ease while still being surrounded by the mountains and trees to provide seclusion and tranquility. If you are looking for an outdoor venue for your ceremony with a beautiful reception space without having to leave the grounds or travel between events, this is the one to reserve!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Sierra,
What a beautiful wedding and thank you for your outstanding review. It was our pleasure to host you and your wonderful family.
All the Best to you now and into the future!
Warmest regards,
Allan and emily -

Jamie P. Sent on 06/14/2022Great wedding venue!
The Rist Canyon Inn was such a great wedding venue for us. The size of venue was perfect for our wedding of around 85 people. We booked for June 5, and the weather held up throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. During dinner, it rained so we were so happy to have the indoor dining area to enjoy the beautiful rain. A rainbow even formed :). Emily and Allan were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. An absolutely gorgeous venue with kind and professional owners. Highly recommend!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Thank you Jamie! You were a joy to host! I / we wish you the best life has to offer and I know you will make the most of it.
All the Best,

So happy we went with Allan and Emily's gorgeous venue. They were very responsive, kind, and courteous. We highly recommend this venue for the scenery and the people who work hard to make this place like a fairy tale! What a dream, we will continue to relive the best moment of our lives.

My husband and I couldn’t be more thankful for the owners, Allan and Emily, for allowing us to have our dream wedding at their incredible venue!

We had quite a bit of family from Hawaii come into town and even though they come from one of the most beautiful places on earth, they were blown away on how beautiful the venue was!! We will forever be thankful for Rist Canyon Inn ❤️Rist Canyon Inn's reply:

A truly special place!
Our wedding at Rist Canyon was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for more-- from the personal attention we received from Alan and Emily, to their incredible coordinator Janel, to the incredible beauty of the property. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and everyone was extremely supportive and accommodating. I will never forget getting ready in the farmhouse with my best friends and family, looking out the window to see everyone I loved gathered in the beautiful meadow, and walking out beneath the gorgeous skyline of the foothills. Thank you, Rist Canyon, for a perfect day!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hi Monika,
Your review brought tears to my eyes! Knowing that brides and grooms have a wonderful day is the best gift I / we could ask for. I / we wish you health and happiness well into the future. All the Best,

Annie B. Sent on 07/12/2021Beautiful and Attention to Detail at Every Turn
We had our wedding at Rist Canyon Inn and the whole experience was incredible. The entire property, from inside the charming farmhouse to the open field, is beautiful. It made me feel as if I had been transported to a dreamland, which is a great feeling for your wedding day😊 I wanted to get married outside but still have private areas to get ready and have a brunch the morning of the wedding. The field, reception hall, and farmhouse offer the convenience of having everything in the same location, while still allowing you to tailor different experiences throughout the day. You can rent the farmhouse overnight, which we did, and I also highly recommend. The owners Emily and Alan perfectly merge professionalism and warmth. They make you feel like you are working with good friends that also happen to be event experts and owners of the prettiest venue around. They are easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and helpful. Our families all live far away, and we had a tight timeline, so having people like them throughout the planning process was great. They showed attention to detail to both the venue and us as clients. They have extensive knowledge about vendors and offered a special touch at every turn.Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Annie,
Thank you for the incredible review! It feels very satisfying to know that we helped create an excellent wedding day for you and Travis.
Have a wonderful, happy, rewarding and healthy life, and come see us on occasion :-). Allan and Emily -

Samantha G. Sent on 10/31/2019Why Everyone Should Get Married at Rist Canyon Inn
What a fabulous wedding venue! My husband and I recently got married at Rist Canyon Inn and had a fantastic experience with the owners, Allan and Emily, as well as with the company they work with for day-of event coordination, Pink Diamond Events.
The property is gorgeous with an old farm house and cabin. Our ceremony took place out in the field behind the property, which was beautiful this time of year. The newly-built Bellvue Reception Hall was the perfect size and had the best lighting for our celebration. We had a live band, a taco bar, and about 60 guests at our wedding, and couldn't have asked for a better space! The hall's layout and design were very well-thought out and we are so happy we had the opportunity to celebrate our love with our friends and family here.
Working with Allan, Emily, and our coordinator, Casey, was a true pleasure. They were all very quick to respond to emails and helped organize all of our vendors and our timeline with ease.
Two weeks later, we are still on cloud 9 from our wedding day. A huge part of that is thanks to the professionalism and helpfulness of the lovely people who own and operate beautiful Rist Canyon Inn. We would highly recommend this venue for the perfect Northern Colorado wedding!Rist Canyon Inn's reply:
Hello Samantha,
Once again thank you for your incredibly generous and thoughtful review. All the best to you and Eli !

I work as an event specialist for a rental company in Northern Colorado, and we have partnered with Rist Canyon Inn on several weddings as well as with their tent needs. The owner, Allan, is fantastic to work alongside and truly cares about the event experience his clients receive. The reception hall, house, suite, and ceremony location are exactly what Fort Collins was missing - it has a bit of everything from nature, to historic and vintage, to modern rustic. Highly recommend this space to all of my clients!
