Willow Ridge Manor Reviews

This was the most incredible venue. We had a themed 1920s wedding. the environment was perfect, elegant, and accommodated all our needs. The owners were amazing, on point, organized, helped us plan every aspect of set up and break down. supplied chairs, tables, a beautiful location. Gregory walked us through the walking of the bridal party for the rehearsal, and kept the schedule and organization of the parties during the wedding. His wonderful partner walked us through the financial aspects, and the set up/ break down, of our reception. It took so much of my shoulders. As s bride that meant the world. I would choose this place over and over. Affordable, organized, professional, and so much fun!

We couldn’t say anything negative about our experience with this venue. Gregory and Lawrence are absolutely amazing individuals who provided absolutely everything we needed in the friendliest most cordial and fun way. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous our venue location was. Gregory also helped us find many vendors we ended up using. They are magical wedding wizards and if you’re considering using this venue then do not hesitate. You will not regret your experience here.

My wife and I were married here recently and had a great experience. The location is great as its by Red Rock and the foothills, but is still close enough to Denver to not have to travel far. The owners were pretty accommodating and made my wife pretty happy through-out the experience.

We got married in October 2020 at Willow Ridge Manor and it was absolutely amazing! Gregory and Lawrence are amazing to work with, and even in the middle of a pandemic, we never felt stressed. Thanks to this wonderful venue and their expertise, our wedding day was beyond perfect! I highly recommend Willow Ridge Manor to anyone in the Denver area and beyond!

Gregory and Lawrence were phenomenal from start to finish during our wedding planning. I most appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help with our wedding vision even during a pandemic. They were great advocates for us, empathetic, supportive, answered all of our questions throughout the process, were very responsive, and helpful in directing us to find the best vendors. On our wedding day Lawrence and Gregory were very attentive and helpful all while being appropriately in the background to allow us our special day. Willow Ridge Manor is a gorgeous venue anytime of the year in which I would highly recommend.

Not only is this a stunning venue, but even in a pandemic Gregory and Lawrence went out of their way to make sure my day was perfect. They are attentive and will recommend the best vendors. I highly recommend Willow Ridge Manor

Gregory and Lawrence are absolutely fantastic to work with! Their venue made the perfect backdrop for our Steampunk Themed wedding.

There is nowhere else I could have ever imagined getting married. Gregory and Lawrence, along with the amazing views, make this the best venue in the Denver Metro Area! My husband and I got married here on 9/7/2020 after having to postpone our June 20, 2020 wedding due to COVID. Gregory and Lawrence were the absolute best when it came to rescheduling. There are no two people I would have rather worked with for the biggest day of my life and the most stressful situation we have all been put in when it comes to COVID. The day of the wedding Gregory and Lawrence were so wonderful. They made sure I wasn't stressed, they stayed calm, and they really made every single one of my dreams come true. My husband and I have many single friends in the Denver Area and we have highly encouraged them to go with Willow Ridge Manor when their big day comes! A truly added bonus is the STUNNING scenery all around the mansion, we have the most amazing wedding pictures! Don't think twice, book your wedding at Willow Ridge Manor, you will not be disappointed.

Gregory & Lawrence as well as the Willow Ridge Manor was amazing!! The place is SO beautiful and in the perfect location, we looked at this and decided on the spot... it was the one. They had amazing communication, answered all our questions, responded fast, accommodated and helped us with everything we wanted on this day, it is a crazy time AND with COVID and it had us very stressed but this day was stress free thanks to Gregory and Lawrence, we made it work and it turned out great. We cannot thank you both enough! Additional to that we used the suggestions for both our Cake "Das Meyer" and our catering "Occasions Catering" which both were amazing to work with as well. I suggested checking out Orgin Hotel Red Rocks if you need a hotel they helped us with lots of rooms at a good rate!
With that, if you are having a hard time picking which Venue I can help you, choose Gregory and Lawrence with Willow Ridge Manor and you will be amazed on your big day how much they go out of there way to make sure you are stress free and have no worries, and all the fun!

Thank you thank you!! - Britt & Keith PS. Plan to add photography pictures when we get them back!

Willow Ridge Manor is an absolutely stunning venue!!! The combination of elegance and outdoor beauty was exactly what we hoped for. From the first time we met Gregory, we knew we wanted to host our wedding at Willow Ridge. Gregory immediately put us at ease (after a very lengthy venue search) and made us feel like the wedding of our dreams was possible. In the coming months, Gregory was so helpful in responding to any and all questions we came up with! He responded promptly and always assisted us by offering advice and good solutions.

The wedding day itself was Pure Magic. Gregory and Lawrence are an outstanding team, and made the entire wedding day so smooth! Their expert guidance made the day one to remember! Lawrence was so wonderful in helping carry my cathedral length veil. Gregory made sure the processional was properly timed. The advice and the experience these two have is unmatched.

All of our guests loved being at Willow Ridge. Not only is the outdoor location wonderful, but inside we all felt like we were at a friend's house, having an epic celebration. We cannot thank Gregory and Lawrence enough for all they did. We will cherish our memories at Willow Ridge Manor forever. Thank you with our whole hearts!

Working with Gregory at Willow Ridge Manor was wonderful. He was so helpful throughout the entire process and especially on the day of. This venue is beautiful and was perfect for our wedding. Could not have chosen a better venue!

Willow Ridge Manor is the most amazing venue owned by two amazing people. Gregory and Lawrence the amazing owners, made the entire planning experience a great one. Their years of industry experience translates to their passion of hosting beautiful events. From the initial meeting, final walk-thru, rehearsal and day of, they both made me and my guests feel welcomed, special, and calm! They truly have everything under control. The venue is beautiful and surrounded by the glory of the mountains and Red Rocks formations. I appreciated that they provided us with recommendations for partner vendors. By having a list of recommendations we truly found vendors with great services and ability to leverage long standing relationships with Gregory and Lawrence. Again - a smooth, worry free experience. Our guests loved the venue and had a great time at our wedding and ceremony. Thanks to Willow Ridge Manor, our wedding day was everything I could have wished for and more.

Our wedding at Willow Ridge Manor was stunning. Working with Gregory and Lawrence was easy and went smoothly. They are great people with a lot of wedding experience, and they are prompt with email responses. The value for the venue was top notch. We had a Sunday wedding, and like some other venues, price depends on the day/time. You get the mountain feel without being too far away. The location is prime, because it's easy for guests to get to and the views are stunning. Gregory gives you a list of preferred vendors, that he recommends. His top recommendations in terms of where to buy the dress, the cake, and alcohol were our favorites as well. He knows the industry, and, even though you'll want to do your own research like we did, you'll probably find you are going to follow his recommendations as well.

We had a small concern about rain on our wedding day, and Gregory worked with us to make sure our outdoor ceremony was a success!! He was watching radar all afternoon and he was absolutely right about the weather. We had our beautiful overcast outdoor ceremony. They helped us get everyone down the aisle on time and in the right order (it's like having a wedding planner included in the venue cost). The reception inside was also beautiful. There are lights under the curtains, and lights outside, that you don't fully appreciate until the reception is in full swing. They really make the place look magical. We had some centerpieces on the tables, and some other decor, but the venue speaks for itself, and you really don't need to do a whole lot.

Getting ready before the wedding was amazing. The "bridal suite" is two full rooms with a private bathroom, and, wait for it, the balcony!! There were big mirrors perfect for pictures and for getting ready. The groom's suite was a big room with their own bathroom as well.

Willow Ridge Manor is really the full package. I have absolutely no regrets about going with Willow Ridge Manor and would recommend it to anyone!

I just had my wedding at WRM and it was the best venue I could have ever picked for so many reasons!

1. I rented it out for the full day (which is an option everyone should do) as the additional cost is minor in comparison to the value that you get. My bridesmaids and I were able to show up at 8:30 to start our hair and makeup in the huge bridal suite upstairs. Being there so early, I was able to relax and get ready without worrying about transportation, vendors showing up on time, etc. This also made getting things home after the event super easy, because all my belongings were already at the venue upstairs in the suite.

2. Gregory is a wedding expert extrordinaire. He coordinates the whole thing and takes down all your vendor numbers so he can call them if they show up late. He also helped organize our processional and told each couple when to start walking out for the ceremony. Having him there allowed me to plan the whole wedding myself without having to hire a day of coordinator or wedding planner. Not to mention, he steamed my entire dress for me the day of when I was worrying about wrinkles. Talk about a hands on guy!!

3. The ceremony and reception are in the same place! How convenient for your guests! Even better, you get the outdoor beauty of the ceremony with the comfortable atmosphere of an indoor reception.

4. Mountain wedding close to the city. We had tons of out of town guests, so making them drive up to Vail was not an option, however we still want the Colorado mountain feel. This venue was just that!

Thank you Gregory!!!

Willow Ridge Manor is such an amazing venue for weddings. I have been to several weddings that have been held here and I am more impressed each time I visit. The scenery is unmatched which provides an unforgettable backdrop for you photos. Gregory, the owner and manager, is absolutely amazing, and any bride would be lucky to work with him. He is charming, professional and so helpful for each and every aspect of a bride's day.
I am extremely grateful to Gregory and his staff for taking such great care of my best friend on the most amazing and memorable day of her life.

All around, amazing experience!! Loved it!

We loved our venue, it was beautiful and it worked out perfectly. Gregory the owner was super helpful and attentive and made sure the night went smoothly. The bridal room is huge and gorgeous for pictures, the area around the building and the ceremony site are fantastic and I couldn't have pictured a better place. We loved the inside of the venue as well after it got dark, there are two side rooms that have open walls to an outdoor deck and it was perfect for a Colorado summer wedding.

Gregory and team, thank you so much for your flexibility and for letting us use your amazing venue. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone!!!

Gregory with Willow Ridge Manor was a HOOT!!! We just LOVED working with him. He made this so low stress that it was hard to believe I was planning my wedding. His moment to shine was the day of. He was the coordinator for the day, making sure that I did not accidentally run into my Groom, and make sure everything was on schedule. This manor is beyond beautiful, and that is why it was my must have venue! Gregory does a great job of keeping the manor is tip top condition while keeping its antique feel. Such an elegant beauty that made decorating a cinch. I highly recommend Willow Ridge to ANYBODY who wants that mountain feel, and still be only 20 minutes from Denver. Well done Gregory!

We got married here on St. Patrick's Day this year. Our photographer commented that it was the best place she had ever seen for pictures in the Denver area! The place is absolutely beautiful, and is perfectly set up for a great party! It is BYOB, and the catering company they work with was awesome! The outdoor ceremony area is just gorgeous, and was perfect for a spring wedding. Gregory and the rest of the crew were really easy to work with, always answered the phone if I had questions, and were quick to help me solve any problems I had!

We loved this venue for many reasons but the most was the amazing views. Gregory was great to work with and was very understanding! It was a very clean and well keep place and will recommended this venue to many of our friends and family.

We just recently got married here and all I have to say is incredible!!! This location was perfect for us as many of our friends and family traveled far for our wedding. They just loved how it was in the foothills/mountains but still close enough to Denver. Most of them said how incredible everything was from the view, to the space inside for the reception, to the incredible food (provided by Lifestyles Catering used at Willow Ridge). For us it was the most incredible experience because as a Bride I did not have to worry about anything. The catering company (Lifestyles Catering) took care of most of the decorations and table settings, while Gregory was like my wedding coordinator making sure that everything was running on time and letting me know while I got ready.

My experience here was above and beyond what I expected!! I am the type of bride who wants to get what I pay for and not pay a ton of money for something that is not going to be great! So this location, and staff made everything exactly what I wanted and more!!

Thanks Gregory & Lifestyles Catering!!

When we got engaged, we were looking for a unique place to hold a 'destination' style wedding. My family is from Florida, and the Groom's family is from Nebraska. While we both reside in Denver, we wanted to get married in our beautiful state of Colorado. We wanted a place that was near the mountains, accomodating to guests and fun to work with. We found these, plus many more with Willow Ridge Manor.

Willow Ridge Manor is an older, well-kept, gorgeous white house located just a few miles south of Red Rocks Amphitheater. We drove by the location before meeting with the owner and immediately fell in love with the look, the feel, and the location. We could just imagine how our wedding would play out.

Gregory, the proprietor/owner, was wonderful to work with. He is very knowledgeable with the services within the wedding industry and his goal is to make sure that your wedding is perfect. He is very helpful with the planning and provides a wonderful list of reliable vendors that he has worked with who will provide excellent service to you and your guests. The cost of the venue is very reasonable for the location, and the preferred catering company will create a menu that fits your wedding and style. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, the venue was gorgeous, and Gregory was the best. One perk (which helps save a lot of money!!! And Gregory has a list of people as well) was that you got to bring your own Alcohol to the venue. This saves you soo much money, and a few places will only charge you for what you open/use...with no restocking fees. Even if you have a specific budget you are sticking to, your guests will feel like they attended a lavish and expensive wedding by the end of your night! If there ever was a problem, it was solved without the guests/parents/bride and groom knowing, which helps relieve stress and allows us to enjoy our day. The schedule was kept pretty close to plan, and the vendors make the wedding/reception flow smoothly.

We got married on 10/24/09 at Willow Ridge Manor, and we loved every minute of it. Our guests, a week later, are STILL talking about how much fun they had, how elegant it was, and how the service was excellent. While your wedding/reception flies by quickly that day, everything at Willow Ridge was PERFECT, and we couldn't be more happier with how it went!

Superior service from first visit through the wedding reception! Could not ask for better service! We had a large 185 guest reception in Feb 2024. Beautiful setting with amazing views. No surprises. Excellent recommendations from staff who care deeply about their patrons.

I attended a wedding 9/21/23 at Willow Ridge Manor. The venue was wonderful, thoughtful, clean, tastefully decorated, staff was friendly, professional, great customer service and the views incredible! I unfortunately lost my tennis bracelet that evening. After leaving a message, Gregory the owner promptly returned my call and while on the phone he retraced my steps. Lo and behold, he found my bracelet!!! I highly recommend this venue!
