The Greenbriar Inn Reviews

I can't say enough positive things about the Greenbriar Inn (GBI). We had our 130-person winter wedding there (in December) and every detail was fantastic. Taylor and Emma were absolutely fabulous through every step of the planning process. They are a responsive, flexible, and detail-driven team! Valerie was our banquet captain and was phenomenal. We did not hire an additional wedding planner or "day-of" coordinator and I'm glad we didn't because the Greenbriar Inn team had all of the "day-of" support we needed. We were able to simply enjoy our night while GBI worked their magic. We received tons of compliments from our guests raving about how attentive and seamless the service and whole evening was.

We also chose to rent the cottage which was gorgeous! We used the space for getting ready/bridal sweet, then as a quiet area for an infant/babysitter during our reception, and finally for a little (mellow) afterparty and honeymoon sweet! Very much worth the investment for us.

I would absolutely get married at the Greenbriar Inn again-- can't wait to return from anniversary celebrations for years to come!

We had a wonderful experience planning a 30-person cocktail hour and dinner at the Greenbriar in fall 2023 to celebrate our elopement. We wanted an elegant venue where we could bring our own style to the event and take a less "Traditional" approach, but also didn't know where to start with planning something on our own - and the Greenbriar was a great fit for this. Emma was responsive and always willing to help as we prepped the details of the event, and Valerie led a thoughtful service that kept us on track while also letting the night unfold naturally. In particular the Greenbriar was incredibly accommodating as we vegan-ified our menu, including making a vegan cake, vegan entree option, and creating a unique vegan hors d'oeuvres menu. The only other vendor we brought in was a photographer and we also appreciated the flexibility to take plenty of photos on the property despite not doing a traditional ceremony. Everything else could fully be handled by the Greenbriar team. Finally, we appreciated that the team was really transparent about pricing from the get-go which was refreshing so there were no surprises. We'd absolutely recommend this venue, and looking back would not change anything about the evening.

Taylor and everyone else we interacted with was so tremendously wonderful. From start to finish the planning and execution of my wedding was so easy and amazing.

As a wedding venue the Greenbriar is absolutely stunning, and for the reception after the upstairs dining room is beautiful and well suited for private events with amazing atmosphere and a beautiful patio with views of the grounds.

Other than flowers, DJ, and photographer the Greenbriar takes care of every other aspect of the wedding and reception. And I highly recommend them for both. They assited with the timing of everyone walking down the aisle, setup of chairs and sound system, and a seamless transition into the reception.

For the reception cocktail hour, dinner, and desert we were served by a wonderful staff, and the bartender was amazing. Everyone was so professional, dealt with the craziness of all our guests and last minute changes to the guest list.

The food was exquisite. The salmon and chicken picatta were delicious too, but the beef was absolutely incredible and tender.

10/10 absolutely incredible, worth everything we paid for the service, venue, and food.

We had an excellent experience with the Greenbriar Inn for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. They helped us plan for the rehearsal at the venue, allocated a lovely space for the dinner, provided a terrific buffet dinner with professional service, and were responsive to our questions and requests. Furthermore, the cost was better than we found for comparable venues in the area. I would choose the Greenbriar again in a heartbeat for an event in the Boulder area.

We can’t recommend the Greenbriar Inn enough. It is a beautiful facility with the ability to host gatherings of all different sizes and feels depending on your needs. The location cannot be beat: stunning foothills, perfect place to see sunset, and just far enough out of boulder. The food at the restaurant is pretty good, but for wedding food it was excellent- way better than your standard catering set up - and everyone said the cake was the best they’ve ever had

My husband and I hired Greenbriar Inn to host our wedding dinner and it was an awesome experience! We were a small group (12 adults + 1 infant, including the bride and groom) and Taylor at GBI really worked with us to create the perfect experience! We booked a third of the upstairs for our private dinner. Divider walls in the upstairs dining area created a perfect space - private and a little quieter than the restaurant (without being dead silent). The food and wine were delicious, the service was awesome, and the communication throughout the planning was process was great! Thank you to everyone at GBI for making it a special night!!

We just got married at the Greenbriar Inn. What a fabulous place- the scenery is amazing, the food is fabulous, and the staff were so attentive, professional and on point. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day!

My fiancé and I ended up not booking this venue for our wedding for logistical reasons, however I wanted to leave a review to speak to just how patient, understanding, and compassionate the team was in working with us. Kathi Jo and the rest of the team at the Greenbriar really made the process of working with them stress-free and positive.

Kathi Jo and her team at the Greenbriar were excellent! I was looking for a venue that had a cozy, romantic feel and that was just what I found at the Greenbriar. We were so fortunate to not only have a beautiful venue, but also have someone like Kathi Jo who was so responsive to messages, never made me feel like I was bothering her, and was so committed to making our day exactly how we wanted it. As we were coming from out of town, she assured me that she had decorations, food, cake, and all details put together and she was not lying. I went to the Greenbriar a few days before our wedding day and found that everything was exactly how she described and that there were no details that had been overlooked. On the day of the wedding, everything happened without delay or problem and all of our guests said how beautiful the venue was and how even more incredible the staff was. I highly recommend the Greenbriar, Kathi Jo, and the rest of her team to anyone!

We had a small elopement (total 10 guests) and looked all over the Boulder area for a place to accommodate a private party for such a small group. After what proved to be a very challenging search, we finally stumbled upon the greenbriar and we are so glad we did. From the very beginning Kathh Jo was very attentive, reassuring us that they had a perfect space for us to have a private dinner with our small group. The communication from day one was always great. The day our of celebration dinner was absolutely perfect. The property itself is very beautiful and well maintained, and then the private room where we all were was warm and quaint. They had us gathered around a large square table which made for a perfect family dinner vibe which was exactly what we were going for. Joe as our personal waiter was the best experience. He quickly picked up on our family's sense of humor and had us laughing all night. We had our wedding cake made on premises, and that, along with all of the food (and wine) was absolutely delicious...I cant say enough. Even though we were a small group, we felt just as important as a wedding of 200.

My husband and I chose the Greenbriar Inn because it felt intimate and familiar, has beautiful grounds (we knew we wanted to have an outdoor ceremony), and it didn't feel like a corporate venue. We worked with Kathi Jo to plan our wedding. She was easy to communicate with and responsive. The week leading up to our wedding was rainy, but Kathi Jo had multiple ceremony options in case things didn't clear up -- though ultimately the sun came out and we were able to have our ceremony outdoors where we had originally planned! The food was excellent, and the chef even made our favorite dessert that was not on the menu. So many of our family and friends complimented us on the venue, they loved that it was a restaurant and they loved the food! Kathi Jo has a great team who were so friendly and worked so hard the day of. We couldn't be happier with our choice of venue and can't wait to go back and visit for a meal.

Gorgeous venue, all-inclusive, excellent food, great service, and all-around magical! We are beyond happy that we chose to have our wedding at The Greenbriar Inn!

Wonderful venue overall. Phil and Emma were so great to work with. Emma helped us get everything organized ahead of time and had great communication. Phil was there the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue was beautiful and the food and dining experience was perfect. I would recommend this site for any wedding!

CHARMING AND IMPECCABLE! Held my wedding ceremony at Greenbriar Inn followed with Champagne Brunch. What a perfect day, everything was flawless and seamless! Kathi Jo is absolutely incredible, so caring and genuine and is a true gem. The owners and staff are so welcoming and sweet, they made us feel like we were the only guests in-house! Food was spectacular, their Sunday Brunch has a great variety and wonderful presentation! I fell in love with the property, the service was top-notch, and I can't say enough good things about Kathi Jo. Already looking forward to going back and celebrating my anniversary!

The Greenbriar is an all around fantastic venue. The setting is beautiful and the grounds are stunning. We took all of our photos there and they look like we traipsed around to a variety of stunning locations, because the grounds offer such diversity of scenery—wild meadows, manicured lawns, ponds, and trees. The restaurant itself is so quaint, cozy, and romantic—not to mention the food is incredible, the wine list is impressive, and the well liquor is very solid. Also, our wedding cake was actually one of the best cakes I’ve ever had—whoever said wedding cakes are always dry and tasteless hasn’t had cake from the Greenbriar. I just loved how unique the Greenbriar is, as a lot of wedding venues look the same to me. Despite having 150 guests, I felt like I was having an intimate dinner with our closest friends, instead of presiding over a big banquet hall (that being said, if you want a big banquet hall, this probably isn’t the place for you). Perhaps most importantly, the staff of the Greenbriar are SO helpful and professional. They can take care of day-of coordination, food, drinks, cake, linens/serveware, sound/mics for the ceremony, and chairs for the ceremony. Kathi Jo made everything so easy to plan, which was important as we were planning from afar. The staff is so thoughtful and they really think of every detail, including those you might never have thought of yourself so you can just enjoy your day (for example, they took my bouquet from me after the ceremony and put it in water so it would look perky for our additional photos later). And, particularly considering the array of services they provide, the Greenbriar was definitely less expensive than other venues we looked at. I will admit we exceeded the final estimate they gave us, but my husband and I also expected that would happen so it wasn’t an unpleasant surprise. If you have an open bar and you know your friends really like to party, either set a cut-off point or you might go over your estimate.

Kathi Jo, the Greenbriar's wedding coordinator, is a sorceress. She will work her butt off for you to make your wedding absolutely perfect. Also, if the most important part of wedding day is the FOOD (like it was for us), you can count on the Greenbriar for delicious, hot plates for every guest.

We had our wedding two weeks ago at the Greenbriar and it was nothing short of amazing!!! We had the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors and the reception was indoors in the main dining room. The cabin lawn for the ceremony was so perfect, with the fall colors and then the foothills behind. It was a destination wedding for the majority of our guests and it truly was the perfect Colorado setting!

THE FOOD - I have never been to a wedding previously that had good food so I was beyond happy to have had such fantastic food at our own wedding! Our guests are still talking about the property and the food!

The banquet coordinator, Kathi Jo, as well as Valerie, Cliff, and the rest of the staff were professional, helpful, and made sure we were not worried about anything throughout the planning as well as the day of the wedding. We had literally no worries the day of which is unheard of! We could not have asked for a better or more accommodating venue. They gave us freedom with our vendors and even suggested and helped with "the little things". My favorite was to use the fall leaves from the grounds during our recessional! So fun and BEAUTIFUL.

We had visited some other venues in the area while we were planning last year and this was the only one that made us feel like we weren't just another tab on their sales column for the year. We have so many happy memories from our wedding day with our friends and families at the Greenbriar Inn and we would not change a thing! THANK YOU! (I apologize for the long paragraph, Wedding Wire does not allow for formatting).

The Greenbriar was the perfect place to get married. Kathi Jo and the rest of the staff listened to all of our ideas and did their best to make sure our wedding day was flawless. I didn't have to worry about the details, as they had it all taken care of. The food was fabulous and our cake was delicious. The Greenbriar was the perfect setting for our magical, fall wedding.

This venue is stunning, quaint, and everything we wanted! It's impossible to have a bad view during the ceremony. The staff here is wonderful, helpful, and kind. Kathi Jo makes any worry or concern you have go away. She has years of experience and makes the process as painless as possible. I never worried about things getting done as I knew we were in good hands. On top off the amazing views and wonderful staff...their food is absolutely delicious! Our guests were raving about their meals. My husband and I will always be back for brunch and dinner!

The Greenbriar was fantastic for my wedding- incredible food, immaculate service and an intimate and beautiful setting. Kathi Jo was wonderful to work with!

I cannot tell you enough how impressed I am with the service at Greenbriar Inn. I remember walking in to meet Kathi Jo and she told me that I would not be stressed and to leave it all to her. I truly was not at all stressed on the day. Kathi Jo made everything easy and all I had to do was enjoy the day.

The venue was amazing. We didn’t need any decorations due to the natural beauty of the venue. If you are look for natural beauty to save a little money. I highly recommend.

Prior to finding the Greenbriar Inn I was stressed at all of the financial cost involved. When I left Kathi Jo that first day, I was relieved that we would start our marriage debit free.

We still get rave reviews from our guests on the food. It was outstanding!!!!!

Thank you GBI for make this such a special day!

We had a wonderful experience working with Kathi Jo and the entire team at The Greenbriar Inn for our wedding. The planning went very smoothly. Kathi Jo helped us understand all of the options and logistics and was always available to answer our questions. The serving staff went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs on our wedding day. AS expected, the food was delicious. The guests had a fabulous time. We highly recommend The Greenbriar Inn!

We had our wedding here May 28th and it was beautiful:) All our guest said the food was amazingly good and they loved the venue. Kathi Jo was awesome to work with and she even helped figure out how to bussle my dress. Looking forwards to many anniversary dinners here!

Amazing food, great service, very friendly staff, stunning location - and a wonderful coordinator who made sure that seriously everything went smoothly.
Our wedding was a blast, we couldn't have imagined it any better! Unforgettable memories guaranteed!
