Spruce Mountain Ranch Reviews

We had a wonderful experience working with Brus and the full Spruce Mountain team. They think of everything when it comes to logistics, and we didn't have to worry about a thing from the moment we showed up on wedding day until the end of the night.

Our experience touring the venue a year and a half ago, coming back for the Wine & Nosh event, and doing our 30 day walk through all made the planning process so smooth and exciting for us and our families. The multiple ceremony locations are all gorgeous, and we were thrilled to be able to get married mountainside with the natural beauty of Colorado in the background. Our guests loved cocktail hour and the indoor/outdoor dinner & dancing set up. Spruce is truly a 5 star wedding venue because of its natural beauty and the organization/care the team takes in scoping out all the details, like 2 beautiful getting ready suites for the bridesmaids & groomsmen, shuttles to take guests up mountainside, and open air string lights for late night dancing. Spruce is also a popular spot that many of our vendors were familiar with, which made logistics even smoother since our bartenders, caterer, DJ, planner, and florist had all done multiple weddings at Spruce before and had great recommendations on what could work well with our vision.

We hope to come back for future events and are so happy to have gotten married at Spruce!

Spruce Mountain Ranch was perfect for our 9/21/24 wedding! The staff was incredible during the planning and execution of our day! Brus Osborne was amazing to work with from our initial tour in 2022 all the way through our wedding day. Emily Wanderscheid was awesome the day of our event, so kind and helpful! The venue is so beautiful, most of our guests were from out of state and loved the venue. My husband and I truly had the best day of our lives and we are forever thankful for choosing and trusting Spruce Mountain Ranch with the most important day of our lives!

They are committed to exceeding expectations and are dedicated to creating a stress-free, smooth and seamless event, both for their clients and vendors alike. They are professional, friendly and truly a joy to work with.

Having worked at many Colorado venues, it goes unnoticed that Spruce Mountain Ranch takes pride in their beautiful property. The facilities and grounds are immaculate and well cared for. It’s a place you never want to leave! It offers stunning backdrops and provides our clients with a mountain destination experience that is intimate, elevated and personal. When entering the gates, one feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, in a setting that exudes a laid-back relaxing, yet elevated experience.

We absolutely love Spruce Mountain Ranch! We love their team and we love their property!

Spruce Mountain Ranch made my dream wedding come true! Hands down the best wedding venue in Colorado! From the beautiful views to the wonderful staff, they truly make your wedding day so special. My guests had amazing feedback! No matter what season is it, Spruce Mountain accommodates for rain, snow, and shine. The venue is stunning, spacious, and offers unbelievable amenities such as ponds for fishing, cornhole, tennis, and even basketball courts. They offer accommodations at the Estate House EXCLUSIVELY for Spruce Mountain couples, which gives you private access on the day of your wedding through the back gate! Such an amazing experience and created such beautiful memories.

I LOVE SPRUCE! As a wedding planner, I get to work in a lot of places, and Spruce is one of my all time favorites.
From a logistical perspective, they have carefully and thoughtfully places guidelines in place in order to execute some of my best events. All of their staff is so kind knowledgeable, and helpful. They feel a like a warm hug to be around and work with.

They are so good to all of their couples and have some of the most beautiful property that caters to so many different taste and aesthetics. I've had very elegant brides and very rustic brides that are all so happy with Spruce. Truly a quintessential Colorado Wedding Venue.

You will be SO happy if you choose Spruce to be your venue!

Spruce Mtn is a lovely venue with views that just stun. There is plenty of parking for your guests, even if you have 200! The staff are so accommodating and it was a pleasurable experience for all.

the venue was beautiful! We had a great experience working with Tara and the team. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor experience on a ranch with a great view of the mountains.

We recently had our wedding at the Upper Ranch at Spruce Mountain Ranch (October 2022) and cannot recommend it enough for your wedding or event. Our experience with Spruce Mountain dates back to late September 2021 when we first reached out to the venue. They were quick to respond and we visited within days. We worked with Brus Osborne as well as a few additional team members - everyone was professional, knowledgeable and made everything feel easy. The Upper Ranch is a one-of-a-kind venue built for weddings. The overall venue is rustic and cozy. The layout is perfect and each space is intentional. We were surprised with some snow so used the Aspen Room for our ceremony which still allowed us mountain views. I loved the statement fireplace for our cocktail hour. The Ponderosa Room is simply breathtaking. They require certain vendors and provide recommendations for other vendors if you ask which I appreciated - there are a million wedding vendors and this narrowed it down. All our vendors were outstanding. The fee was reasonable - especially in comparison with other Denver area venues. I’ve followed Spruce on social media since we booked it for our wedding and I have loved how every wedding is so unique and different, yet Spruce Mountain works with all of them including ours. Cannot recommend enough!!

This venue is absolutely beautiful!!! They have an upper and lower ranch, and both have multiple locations you can choose to have your ceremony at. I loved that the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the dancing all had different locations so our guests were always moving and not stuck in one spot. But you can also make it custom to how you want your day! Spruce Mountain Ranch is a family owned venue, so I felt super comfortable talking to them and I really felt like they cared about making our day so special. :)

Very accommodating! Everyone is every nice! The venue is absolutely beautiful!

We couldn't have chosen a better place to get married! Our wedding day was an absolute dream and it's largely because SMR is such a stunning venue. We got so many compliments on it from our guests too. Additionally, Tara was wonderful to work with. She always got back to us quickly and was excellent with communicating. Additionally, all of the staff the day of made sure everything went perfectly. We definitely recommend!

The PERFECT Colorado wedding venue! You truly get it all when booking with Spruce Mountain. Epic Colorado landscape, pristine venue with tons of private space, amazing bridal cottage, and an attentive and professional staff. We got married at the Lower Ranch in September and it was perfect. There's a different space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception which was great, and lots of outdoor/fresh air to enjoy the Colorado beauty! Out of town guests were blown away with the beauty of the venue and from start to finish working with Tara and her staff was easy and fun. They truly love what they do there and make their couples feel special and taken care of! Best decision ever booking this venue!!!

Absolutely a picturesque backdrop for our September wedding. Spruce Mountain Ranch (SMR) is a combination (balance) of comfortable and intimate. SMR venue quickly rose to the very top of our list for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. If you are serious about a place that accommodates your style and personality, SMR is an excellent venue. We selected the Lower Ranch (Albert’s Lodge, Colorado Room, Ames Patio and Grace’s Chapel) for our wedding and it was immaculate and perfect for our guests. You need to do a little work in finding vendors but it is worth the time and energy to create your special wedding. We are in our 50s and confident in our ability to make selections on caterers/beverages, entertainment, and décor; however, an event coordinator is also required for, at minimum, day-of the event and we are happy that we selected one especially as we were planning our wedding during the initial COVID months.
The SMR staff is efficient in responding to emails and provided as much information as possible. We planned for more than a year and everything to include the weather, executed to near perfection. The venue staff was ready and prepared with everything to include setup, sanitation stations, and cleanup. Our guests commented about how stunning the location is and how the staff ensured compliance with COVID requirements while allowing guests to feel safe and healthy throughout the day into the evening. We are grateful to Tara and her staff for the many ways that you made our wedding day the most special event of our lives.

We knew that the venue was absolutely the most important thing when planning a wedding. We knew we wanted an outdoor wedding to enjoy Colorado mountains and scenery, for our mountain theme wedding. We scheduled many tours of other venues, but as soon as we stepped foot on the property, we knew it was the one. Skyler was our tour guide and she was so friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. She showed us both the upper ranch and the lower ranch, and all of the ceremony sites, cocktail hour, reception areas, the bridal cottage, the grooms lounge, and even the chairs for reception! She went over the location of things like where the DJ sets up to where the bar is set up, to where to catering set us up. This really helped give us a vision of how things would look day of. This place really has everything together and we really liked that this venue had a lot of things that you don’t need to worry about like chairs and tables (for both ceremony and reception), an area for the caterer to set up, a built in bar, and a dedicated dance floor. The natural chairs they had we thought were so beautiful that we knew we didn’t need any chair covers or chair sashes. We went ahead and put a date on hold right then because we knew that this venue was perfect for us. We chose to hold our wedding at the lower ranch. At the lower ranch you can choose to have your ceremony at Grace’s Chapel, which is outdoors by a large tree near the cocktail hour and reception space, or indoors in the reception space (which is still absolutely beautiful with the fireplace and the mantle), Or the mountainside site. We chose the mountainside site for our ceremony. This site is up on the hill and overlooks beautiful scenery with mountains in the background. The cocktail hour was in the Colorado Room, which is an indoor/outdoor area that has a lodge feel with a patio for mingling. Our reception was in the Albert’s Lodge, which is absolutely stunning. This has a mountain lodge/cabin feel and there is wood everywhere, and has a large mantle and fireplace. It is a huge space. The dance floor is adjacent and it is outside, with large garage doors adjoining for a partial indoor/outdoor space for the reception as well. When guests arrive there are shuttles to take them up to the ceremony site. After the ceremony, guests follow the path down through the property and beautiful landscaping to cocktail hour. Then they walk right next door for the reception. We liked that there was designated spaces for everything, but yet everything flowed. The Bridal cottage is so nice! There is kitchen space, living room space, and a getting ready space with mirrors, lighting, and natural lighting as well. The grooms lounge can be a cigar lounge with the filtration system, and has a pool table and some furniture and bar area to hang out in. This ranch is also a working cattle ranch so you can see cows in the property in the distance (and makes it that much cooler). There are also two ponds on property. Another reason why we really liked this property is because pictures are super important to us and we knew there would be lots of great opportunities for beautiful pictures. We knew we had to schedule another appointment to bring our families to see it. Our families instantly fell in love with the venue as we did and said they definitely approved. Every single thing about this venue is miles above other venues we toured in terms of beauty and quality. We have had great communication with the venue and every time we have called or emailed Tara, she has responded the same day. Everyone there is completely invested in you and your day, and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. The upper ranch ceremony site is absolutely beautiful, however, we loved the reception space better at the lower ranch and ultimately chose that since the upper ranch didn’t have that same lodge feel. Know that potentially there could be two weddings going on at the same time, however the upper and lower ranch are so spread out since the property is huge that you would never even know. When you drive in there are chalkboards that direct you to the right area to park. Also know that this is a venue that requires certain vendors (for food, alcohol, and rentals). At first we viewed this as a negative, as some of these vendors are a littler on the more pricey side, but in the end, we actually really appreciated that. These vendors are high quality and know what they are doing. They are trustworthy, reliable, and have been to the venue many times before. Since many things are spread out and separated, knowing the layout of the venue is a huge deal. We made sure every single one of our vendors had been to the ranch before, before we booked them. With the ranch having a great relationship with these vendors, it actually made for a smoother day and a really high quality experience. This venue is a little on the more expensive side than other venues we were looking at, but we knew that the venue was most important to us, and that this was the one, so we were willing to compromise and spend less in other areas. When we came for our 30 day walkthrough, Tara was so friendly and made us so excited for our wedding! She was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure our day was perfect, including things like turning on the fire place even though it was July because we liked it for our theme and ambiance. When we toured the venue, it was hard for us to believe that anyone would have their wedding anywhere else but here! Every single guest we had commented on how this was the prettiest, and nicest venue they have ever been to and made it one of their favorite weddings to attend! Even when we would tell our other vendors that our venue was Spruce Mountain Ranch, they would always tell us that they enjoy working there, that it’s so beautiful, and it’s one of the nicest and highest quality venues they have ever worked with. On the day of, Kyla was our property manager for the day. When we arrived she warmly greeted us and introduced herself. She made sure we had her number in case anything came up. She was all around the venue helping in any way she could including set up and clean up. The ONLY complaint we had was that it looked like there were some gopher holes at the ceremony site, and so some with heels just had to watch their step at the rehearsal and ceremony (don’t worry, nobody tripped). This could have been due to the fact that the venue wasn’t used for a few months before our wedding due to gathering restrictions. Be aware that there are train tracks in the distance of the venue. On both of our tours, a train did go by and it was a noticeable noise. On the day of the wedding however there was no train. Otherwise, this venue absolutely made our wedding the most perfect day ever and we can’t thank Skyler, Tara, and Kyla enough for their help leading up to and on the big day. The venue was the highlight of the wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. This venue is absolutely perfect in so many ways and has everything we have ever wanted in a venue. To anyone who is looking for a venue that is a mix of indoors and outdoors, with absolutely beautiful scenery, and lots of different spaces to spread out, this venue is for you! I would highly highly highly recommend this venue to any bride of any kind. I can’t say enough good things about this venue and we are so happy that we found this venue and chose it for our big day!

This venue is incredible. Its beauty is undeniable, and the staff (shout out to Brus) was super helpful throughout the process (even when a fresh blanket of ice forced us into a last minute audible to the patio, which was still stunning). Can't recommend enough.

Spruce Mountain is the perfect outdoor wedding venue. Tara and her team were quick to respond to all of our questions. They provide a great list of vendors to choose from, and offer great options for venue locations. The place is equipped with all you need to have a beautiful outdoor wedding. And, in the event of any inclement weather, there are plenty of options that will still allow you to have the wedding of your dreams!

We had our destination wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch and it was breathtaking. Everything we wanted and more. The ceremony was held at Trey's Vista and the reception dinner took place in the Courtyard. The facility is beautiful and the staff was easy to work with. Planning a wedding from out of state can be challenging, but Spruce Mountain staff made it as easy as possible. No detail was left undone and our day was perfect.

The venue was beautiful, ready to accommodate us on our day, clean, and absolutely so stunning for guests. We believe this was one of the best investments we made for our special day. Although it poured rain, it didn't take away from the beautiful venue for everyone attending.

Choosing Spruce Mountain Ranch for our wedding was probably the best choice we made in the planning process. We were planning a small wedding. We wanted it outdoors and secluded, but comfortable and classy. Once we saw the ranch we knew that was it. We had our ceremony at Grace’s Chapel, then used the Colorado Room and Ames’ Patio for the reception. Tara and the rest of the staff at Spruce Mountain make their couples their top priority. When we initially toured the ranch Tara told us they aim to make the wedding experience worry free for their couples and they absolutely do. They go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect...and it was! Our guests were blown away with how beautiful everything was and we were so happy with every detail!

My fiancé and I had always dreamed of having a winter wedding, and Spruce Mountain was the perfect location. All of our guests came in from out of town and couldn't stop gushing about the venue: the ranch, the Colorado Room, the outdoor fireplace, Albert's Lodge, and more. The staff was so very helpful from the very beginning and they worked hard to make our vision become a reality. They required that we work with Peak Beverage (who was AMAZING) and that we select from one of eight caterers. Honestly, we appreciated having a smaller set of vendors / partners to choose from! The process can otherwise become so overwhelming. We couldn't have picked a better venue!

We loved having our special day at Spruce Mountain Ranch! After touring multiple venues, we knew that this was where we wanted to be at! I grew up on a ranch in SD and loved that we were able to get married at such a beautiful location with cattle! Family and friends raved about the venue and the stunning views. Everything was perfect!

I had a New Years Eve wedding and could not recommend Spruce Mountain enough! From the first moment I toured, I knew we had to get married here!
The space is gorgeous!
The staff was so so helpful and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. I was able to go back to look at the space as much as I wanted!
Spruce Mountain has amazing staff that is helpful right from the start outlining everything to know! From the first day I toured, I could tell that planning my wedding was going to be made so much easier by Spruce Mountain!
There are a a few limitations as far as vendors go, but this just made the planning easier!
All in all, 10/10 for Spruce Mountain!
Special Shout out to Emily who I worked with from my first walk through of the venue to my wedding night - she was the property manager on site!! I was so glad she was able to be there to see my vision come true with so much help from her!!!!

As a planner, we have had the pleasure of working at Spruce Mountain Ranch numerous times, and our experiences have been nothing short of a dream come true for both our clients and my team. The venue's team demonstrates exceptional professionalism, and truly goes out of their way to create a seamless and stress-free experience for every wedding.

Spruce Mountain Ranch is committed to creating one-of-a-kind experiences for our clients. We love their flexibility and openness to our creative ideas, allowing us to design truly unique and personalized weddings for our clients. The picturesque surroundings provide a stunning backdrop for our floral designs and the versatility of any of their event spaces at the Lower and Upper Ranches allows us to bring each client's creative vision to life.

What really separates Spruce Mountain Ranch is their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every aspect of the event is perfectly executed. We absolutely love working with them and look forward to many more weddings and events in the future!

This is John from the CO wedding/corporate band, HomeSlice. We have been playing weddings for over 20 years and have performed at most of CO’s top wedding venues all over the state. With that said, Spruce Mountain Ranch is our favorite! The staff and the venue are the best! The venue is in a gorgeous setting that is perfect for wedding photos. You get a destination wedding location without driving 3 hours into the mountains. The place is always immaculately clean and has always had everything functioning perfectly. The layout of the property allows both the upper and lower venues to have their own special ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception locations without the two different potential wedding parties on the ranch ever seeing or hearing each other. You get your own massive area to celebrate your day. Both the upper and lower venues are setup to incorporate indoor and outdoor spaces that flow together. If I was planning my daughter’s wedding, I would definitely try to grab the date at Spruce Mountain Ranch. I hope my personal experience playing hundreds of CO weddings can help encourage you to check out Spruce Mountain.

We love Spruce Mountain Ranch and they have been an amazing family to us. They are always attentive to their clients and their needs and provide an amazing experience for all of their vendors. Multiple options with amazing views and experiences and plenty of amenities to host an amazing event! We love SMR!
