Mountain & Ranch Vibes - Perfect Fall Wedding

Our wedding day went perfect and ran on time thanks to the Venue Coordinator, Kate. Great at answering questions & setting up weddings for success by continual communication leading up to the day. They offer cabins for your guest to stay overnight, which allowed our celebration to continue even after the reception. Wonderful mountains for pictures and just a really fun place to hang out.

Excellent Experience

We had such an incredible experience having our wedding at SDR! The venue itself and surrounding scenery is beautiful and a lovely backdrop for a Colorado mountain wedding on the front range.

Our wedding coordinator, Kate, was fantastic! I'm originally from Denver but my wife and I live in Japan. This made the wedding planning process very difficult based on the time difference alone, but Kate was quick with responses and very helpful with taking early morning calls. She even downloaded a messaging app upon my request to better help our communication! Also, during our stay that whole weekend, Kate was professional, kept everything on track, and was fun to hang out with. Thank you Kate!

Not everything was exactly as we planned (as it goes) but that was really to no fault of Kate or the ranch. We had some special requests for Japanese sake and other alcohol that fell through due to vendor delivery issues. However, Kate went above and beyond to reconcile what I didn't even find to be a big problem.

There was one thing that was a bit of a pain for some of my friends staying in one of the cabins. Apparently, due to many showers happening prior to the wedding, there was no water in one of the cabins leading up to the ceremony. One of my groomsmen had to use a shower at another cabin before joining the rest of us in the game room to get ready. We're all pretty chill so this wasn't an issue for him and he didn't want to worry me so I didn't even find out about it until after the reception.

That being said, it truly was an amazing experience overall and I would highly recommend SDR!

Went above and beyond expectations

Our wedding at Sylvan Dale was pure magic! The entire team went above and beyond to craft the best day of our lives. I'd give them 100 out of 10 if I could – that's how much we loved it!

Special shoutout to the incredible wedding coordinator, Kate, who worked her magic in just 8 weeks to make our dream day a reality. Her expertise and dedication were invaluable!

We're eagerly awaiting our wedding photos because we can't wait to relive this perfect day again and again. If you're looking for a venue that's not just beautiful but also has an amazing team, look no further than Sylvan Dale. Highly recommended!

Wedding Coordinator

My name is Kate Hite and I am Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch’s newer wedding coordinator.

I wanted to share a little bit about myself. Believe it or not I had my kindergarten birthday party at the ranch and I took horseback riding lessons almost every summer since. I simply got swept up in the magic of this place and got roped into working here, this is my sixth season now.

I have been working in the wedding industry since 2017 and have completed my associates degree in Resort Management and my Bachelor’s degree in Leadership & Management.

I am thrilled about this opportunity and I am eager to help you create your dream wedding!

Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch is one of the best venues in Colorado! Every area in this large, rambling property has incredible natural views, from the river to the canyon walls to the horse pastures and the peaks. On top of that, the whole staff is absolutely incredible. Wedding coordinators Ge and Sarah take care of the needs of everyone; they are responsive and on top of every detail. Even though they're working hard to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly for all guests, they also take care of their vendors, keeping everyone apprised of the plans and making sure we're fed and hydrated. We appreciate this so much--they are not only making their guests happy, but they're making sure that all the vendors at a wedding can give our mutual clients the best possible service. We'll be happy to photograph events at Sylvan Dale absolutely any time! Thanks to everyone there! --Heather and Gunnar
