“I could not be more thrilled and impressed with the quality of service during our wedding celebration from the staff at Mount Vernon Canyon Club. It was top notch starting from our initial communication with Barbara to the servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff. Barbara made sure that we were taken care of from the moment we showed up to the moment we left. She made us feel calm and took care of everything that needed taking care of without us having to remind her. She even boxed up all of the leftover food for us that we were too anxious to eat (all of which was absolutely delicious). The view is spectacular from the deck and after some initial rain and lightning, we were even blessed with a double rainbow! As a wedding venue, Mount Vernon is a perfect 10/10.”

“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!”

“We just celebrated my son’s beautiful wedding at the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk, Colorado, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Nestled in the stunning Rocky Mountains, this venue made for the most magical mountain wedding setting we could have imagined. A huge shout-out to Kelly Chandler — she went way above and beyond her duties to ensure every single detail was flawless. From planning to execution, she handled everything with such care and professionalism that we never had a single worry. She truly made our family’s special day stress-free and spectacular! Our host, Alvin Pasagui, was incredible as well. He made sure every detail was covered, the accommodations were top-notch (spacious, luxurious rooms with amazing views), and everything ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious — every course was a hit with our guests, and the presentation was elegant and perfect for a wedding celebration. The entire casino and resort staff were the best we’ve ever experienced — friendly, attentive, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. Everything felt seamless and high-end. If you’re looking for a memorable wedding in the mountains with luxury, great food, fantastic service, and that perfect blend of casino excitement and romantic resort vibes, I cannot recommend the Ameristar Black Hawk enough. We had a great time and would book it again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend — 5 Stars!!!!”

“Loveland Ski Area and and all of their wonderful staff made our dream mountain wedding come to life!

They truly went above and beyond for us. The food exceeded our expectations and the presentation of the food was very professional!
