Mountain View Ranch by Wedgewood Weddings

ng a Lamborghini only to find out afterward it has a governor that can never be removed. It's still a Lamborghini, but it's not the experience you paid for. I believe in full transparency, so I'll start with the good. The staff were amazing. Our original wedding coordinator, Maddie, made us feel seen, heard, and special. She quieted the chaos of wedding planning and gave us complete confidence that everything would be perfect. Our evening captain, Aidan, made sure everything occurred with the precision of a Swiss watch. Our bartender, Joline, kept the drinks flowing and quickly became everyone's best friend. Reverend Sam struck the perfect balance of humor and sincerity, making our ceremony truly magical. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. It feels like a fairy tale. The grounds are beautiful, and the food was outstanding. Our guests still talk about the prime rib. Unfortunately, Wedgewood's air conditioning was broken. Because of a noise ordinance, the reception hall doors had to remain closed, effectively turning it into a swamp. We completely understand that things happen. Two weeks before our wedding they walked us through three different rain contingency plans, yet never mentioned that the air conditioning had been inoperable. At the rehearsal the day before, there was still no mention of it. We didn't learn the truth until the doors were closed and we were asking for air. What made this so frustrating wasn't that something broke. It was that there appeared to be no contingency plan if it wasn't repaired. The extra fans had even been moved to another location. We felt blindsided. One couple couldn't even stay for dinner because of the heat. My best man and his pregnant wife left early, as did one of the bridesmaids and her husband. People could dance for maybe one song before they were drenched in sweat and had to go outside to cool off. Instead of celebrating together, guests were constantly rotating between the reception hall and outside just to escape the heat. As the night went on, the smell inside became increasingly noticeable. I love my family and friends...but we were all pretty funky. As I said in the beginning, Wedgewood has so many wonderful things going for it, and if you're getting married during the cooler months you'll probably have a lovely experience. They charge premium prices (for example, the bridal suite is $500 an hour), but in many ways they earn them. Unfortunately, I can't say they earned our trust. We believed we'd be informed about anything that could significantly affect our wedding day. Instead, we learned about a major issue only after it was too late to do anything about it. Make no mistake: we had a wonderful wedding because we were surrounded by incredible family and friends. But your reception hall shouldn't be something you simply tolerate on a day you'll never get to do over. It should be the place where everyone wants to be, not the place they're trying to escape.

hey made the difference & that, moving forward, they have a plan to bring units in until they can get this situation fixed.  So many people told us that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! That is big praise coming from a few of our guests! The food was delicious but the atmosphere truly makes for such a perfect venue. Thank you for handling this like professionals 💕 First I want to start off with how beautiful the location is! Wow! It is breathtaking! The staff was fantastic! From our original coordinator, Maddie, to Abby, Aiden, Mikayla, Fierce, Neveah, Nate, Jolene, & Layton! Every single staff member was outstanding.  The scenery is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, and our guests traveled from all over the country—and even internationally—to celebrate with us.  Now for the tough truth. I absolutely did not want to be negative because the night was magical, however, there was certainly a BIG issue that was not disclosed to us nor were there any preventative measures taken to make sure that we & our guest were considered & taken care of.  Apparently, the air conditioner was not working. At no time did anyone tell us until we were all dying & drenched in sweat asking for some air flow.  The doors could not be opened to let air in due to the noise ordinance. Everyone was drenched! As you can imagine, the smell of sweaty people only got worse as the night went on.  As the bride, I felt uncomfortable and miserable, physically, when I should have been enjoying every last moment of our reception. What can one do in a situation where there is no rescheduling? We had to push through it but we felt completely disrespected by wedgewood. To make matters worse, we found out that this was not a new problem & there were zero preventative measures taken.  When you’re investing thousands of dollars into one of the most important days of your life, you expect transparency and reasonable contingency planning.  To put that into perspective, we were quoted $500 per hour just to gain early access to the bridal suite for hair and makeup.  Wedgewood charges a pretty penny for a room that costs nothing to have access to, yet they could not take measures to make sure that we were all comfortable & not stuck in a hot stinky sauna all night?

t about. The ceremony went super well and love n lens captured all the right shots! They will take tons of great photos! After that we signed our marriage license and was able to get food and drinks which helped a lot get extra food in us! Cocktail hour also had the 6 appetizers all of which are the best food of the night although we were surprised a few ran out. Grand entrances all went well along with dinner service, speeches and dances. The DJ Madeline with their in house DJ actually did a great job! We were nervous because the DJ is so important and we didn’t personally select her but she delivered completely! We think our dessert plate got misplaced while we took sunset photos, but luckily we were able to eat them the next morning since our family brought it all home! They also could have brought decorations up to the parking lot instead of leaving at the door as it would make loading the cars easier. We really appreciated they changed the time you can be on premises to 1pm now instead of 3pm originally as this was the main reason we seriously considered not booking the venue but so glad we did and everything worked out! It still creates more logistics to having the rooms from 9am for instance to do all the getting ready there.  We’d like to mention our decorations were setup very well which I labeled everything so was really happy Nate and Krystin got this right without needing a lot of direction day of. They did a number of things like moved some decorations in that we never asked for and made everything look that much better.  Food was very good but realistically you as the couple aren’t going to have time to enjoy it. It’s also the most expensive part by far so would be a great place to compromise some. We were very happy we didn’t pay to extend the venue for another hour as the dance floor only being an hour got hot enough. The neighbors make them close the doors to the venue unfortunately. We overall spent more than we expected at this venue but everything went super well so if this is right for you would depend on budget! With the all inclusive pricing trimming the guest list saves a lot of cost since a good portion is priced into a per person number. They were super good about letting you adjust guest count 10 days before the wedding. 

or your big day. Tasks and planning milestones are paced well to make the journey enjoyable. Everyone we spoke with was knowledgeable, flexible, and kind. Working with weddings comes with pressure and Wedgewood delivered. I had a lot of decor and DIY stuff and our team handled it perfectly, going above and beyond. Everything looked how I envisioned without the stress of setting it up and tearing it down myself. The day ran so smoothly and was stress free. My husband and I have said multiple times we wouldn't change a thing and it is true. Caryn, Mikayla, Maddie, Kassie, Neveah, Fierce, Nate, Steph, and Layton are fantastic. Plus the venue and location is stunning. Would recommend to anyone!

feel" that we were looking for while still not being too far of a drive for our out-of-town guests. The day-of coordination by Maddie was spectacular and Becca was a fan favorite amongst our guests. She was attentive and made sure we had drinks in our hand all night! The entire staff was incredible - Madison, Sebastian, Christy, and Layton - the day went so smoothly and the food and drink were amazing. It really was the best day ever and we can't thank them enough!

tain View Ranch didn’t have their team, I genuinely don’t believe our day would have been as perfect as it was! Our wedding coordinator, Kira!!!!! Oh my!! She was a saint from our first meeting all the way through our reception!! She handled everything we threw at her with such ease and grace, she’s the best and we don’t have the words to express our gratitude towards her! As for the rest of the crew that helped us- Mikayla, Kyle, Fierce, Nate, and TWISTY CHRISTY!! Mikayla was our Banquet Captain once Kira went home and she was just as amazing!! She made sure we were well taken care of! During cocktail hour, our friends and families raved about Kyle and how he saved them with the fried Mac and Cheese bites! Twisty Christy calmed my nerves with the best lemon drop shot before I walked down the aisle! Honestly just the best crew!! Thank you all for everything!! It was the most perfect day 🫶🏻

made the day stress free and perfect. She took charge when she needed to with our bridal party to make sure everyone was ready to go and one of the staff even made a trip to get our vow books that were forgotten in the getting ready suite shortly before the ceremony. Becca our banquet captain was absolutely amazing. Anything we wanted she made happen and we were never left feeling forgotten about. She had even helped fix my bustle after it had broken. The day couldn’t have happened without all of those not front and center either, Maleah, Nate, Christy, and Sebastian helped make our guests feel so welcome and catered to as well. The venue remained clean and beautiful throughout the whole wedding. We truly could not recommend this venue enough. 

ea, Nate, Christy, and Tyler were all amazing!!!!  The amount of coordination between Becca (banquet captain) and Caryn was superb. Thank you to the team who made our dream wedding possible. They focused on tiny details, that we did not even expect. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue and team for any and every couple. 

exactly flush with free time. Wedgewood worked with our schedule, which was invaluable. The venue, planning, and the day-of team truly made my dreams come true. The venue: my husband and I are both from Colorado & it was a perfect opportunity to provide our guests with a slice of Colorado. Mountainview Ranch was about an hour away from our home outside of Denver, tucked into the mountains far enough to offer stunning geological landscapes and forests and close enough to ensure no one gets lost or carsick on their way. We chose the lakeview location, as it offered the suite of cabins for our guests. Lakeview itself is gorgeous. The bridal & groom suites are roomy & comfortable, the ceremony space is beyond perfect, and the big hall and expansive decks offer stunning views. We went with all of their included/recommended vendors, and all crushed it! Coordination: we toured the venue with Alex, who was awesome. She answered all our (many) questions and sat down with us to discuss what pricing and budgeting looks like. Obviously, as an all-inclusive venue, it’s not an extreme-budget option, but the package cost compared to my estimation of a non-inclusive/DIY version of the same wedding was VASTLY more affordable AND included all the legwork done by experienced professionals. There were 3 main meetings, 6 months, 6 weeks, & ten days out. All were productive and painless. Our coordinator, Caryn, was a true blessing. Patient, funny, detail-oriented, & kind: we never felt rushed or pressured with her. She was on top of everything! I spent my wedding prep time doing fun little DIYs instead of needing to coordinate. The Day-Of: Another shout-out to Caryn, who gracefully guided our listening-challenged family through every step of the process, herded the wedding party to where we needed to be, and answered questions for me. She also ensured my husband and I remained fed and watered, which was vital! The ceremony was beautifully managed. Caryn delivered us food in the bridal suite after the ceremony, and even managed to snap a beautiful photo of our dip kiss, print it, and put it framed on our sweetheart table before we sat down for dinner. A magical woman, truly. Our banquet team also killed it: our captain Mikayla ensured the buffet went off without a hitch. Mikayla also carefully packed us each a meal, complete with appetizers & dessert, which we treasured the day after the wedding when we got home to an empty fridge. The rest of the banquet team, Christy, Tyler, Callie, Maddie, and Nate truly lit up our service with their smiles and assistance. They were all SO helpful, kind, and enthusiastic. I received several comments on how happy they were to lend a hand. Finally: a special shout out to the photobooth, which I worried might be a little over-played. People LOVED it, and it allowed guests to select how many copies they wanted printed. It was delightful. We are genuinely floored. I cannot believe it was as good as it was: it felt like a dream. I got so many compliments on the venue and the wedding and the food (and everything else!!), and so many people marveled at how seamless and fun an event it was. It was all Wedgewood! I feel like all we had to do was show up! I am absolutely patting myself on the back for choosing Wedgewood (& especially Mountainview).

d promptly, usually within a day, and their planning website was intuitive, flexible, and easy to use. One of the best parts of the process was attending the Extravaganza. It gave us the chance to meet vendors, connect with the staff, and sample a variety of delicious food. Every vendor recommended by the venue was professional, responsive, and a joy to work with. On our wedding day, the Mountain View Ranch team exceeded every expectation. We are deeply grateful to Mikayla, Callie, Hunter, Mindy, Andrea, Tess, Kaylee, Nate, Christy, Jess, Tyler, and Sebastian for making the day magical. But the biggest thanks goes to Abby, our coordinator. She brought laughter and joy to the planning process, kept everything seamless on the big day, and ensured we had everything we needed at every moment. Thanks to her, our stress melted away, and we could fully enjoy the celebration. Abby truly feels like part of our family now. Between the breathtaking views, the incredible staff, and the flawless execution, our wedding at Mountain View Ranch was more than we could have ever dreamed of. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place that combines natural beauty with unmatched professionalism.

only saw the virtual tour. It was more stunning in person and fit our personalities perfectly. This venue has it all (if you want it): location, catering, DJ, cake, bartending, photography, officiant, and florist! We opted for all of their people and were so impressed. The experience we had far exceeded our expectations. We were hoping for a "nice" wedding that we were fond of, but we ended up having the most magical day- far beyond our dreams. We were planning to have an "irish goodbye" and ended up staying until close. Our guests continue to tell us how amazing the wedding was and that they had an incredible time. It was possible because of the excellent staff and vendors: Abby, our coordinator, was top notch! She made sure all of our personal touches were encouraged and made possible. Some of those included: Mario Kart, bubble guns, cheeseheads, no speeches, and bridal party seated in the aisles for the ceremony instead of standing. Aiden, the Banquet Captain, was kind and kept everything flowing throughout the reception. Additional thank yous to Callie, Sydney, Nate, Dylan, and Tyler who kept food, drink, and good times going all night. The whole process of planning was "easy." As for the Vendors, Rev. Sam of Amazing Colorado Weddings was so great, eloquent, and kind. He greeted every guest after the ceremony and thanked everyone for attending. Tommy at Cakes Amore- if we lived in Colorado it would be the only bakery I would use. Emily and BitterRoot florals- I cried because they were so beautiful (I'm not a crier). Jasmyn with Love&Lens has a great eye understood us as people and couple to capture our day. Hayley from DJ Maestro played every song we asked for and kept the right vibe all night. We are in awe of everyone and everything that went into making our day special. We wouldn't change a thing.

aff was kind. I knew as well that Wedgewood was an all-inclusive and as a busy people who have a hard time deciding between simple things, we wanted guidance and tailored options. We toured two Wedgewood venues and fell in love instantly with Mountain View Ranch’s Willows property. It was a quiet, secluded beautiful part of the property and when we got there, we felt like our event would fit so perfectly in the pine trees and fall colors in October of 2025. The planning staff was so attentive to our budget and our wants, down to the day of the week we wanted a wedding. They were not pushy and gave us space and heads up when certain dates seemed like they would go quickly. Following signing the contract the support did not waver, they had planning meetings, always responded to emails quickly and kindly. They were open to so much personalization, I (the bride) even got to design the photo strip background 😊, make recipes for our specialty drinks, and create signs. We experienced a hiccup with the florist we were provided for centerpieces, and hopefully, they are no longer working with someone who has a do-not-compete clause. This would have prevented us from DIYing the rest of our wedding beautifully and within our budget. They did offer a second florist, but I had already decided to do the florals myself. At our, final meeting and our rehearsal we got to meet our coordinator Sarah. She is perfect. She was kind, gentle, understanding and accommodating to us. We were late to our rehearsal because I came in from Texas earlier in the week and had so much more to do than I thought. She let us bring decorations late and helped me calm down. She was so enthusiastically supportive of our vision and complimented us throughout the night of our wedding. Her note made us emotional. We love Sarah and hope she had fun working with us too. Our Banquet Captain Mikayla was soooo sweet. I think I mentioned to someone on staff that I (bride) was having some nervous fits throughout the night and did not eat much. There was a bag of food on my chair at the end of the night I got to enjoy later and the next day. Even if this happens on a regular basis, it felt personal and was such a sweet gesture that I am sure Mikayla coordinated. Our servers- Callie & Kaylee were very kind and attentive to guests. They were so sweet when I asked them to leave my plate the rest of the night so I could try to pick off of it here and there. Nate did all our prep and everything looked amazing. I was so happy to see our vision come to life from our small lanterns, crochet pumpkins, to our large guest signs with our cats pictures taking up the welcome table surface. Our bartender Christy was hilarious and kind to all the guests. She was so relatable and sweet. I appreciated how she loved the drinks dedicated to our cats. Madeleine was the ultimate DJ. She was on it all night. I haven't heard so many compliments about banger after banger in a long time. She took last minute alterations to our plans, she helped us find music when we had no idea what to do. Madeline even busted out the wobble with us. Love you girl. Lastly, to our dishwasher- Hunter thank you for all your hard work! Thank you to Mountain View Ranch for making our special day one of the best days of our lives together.

e there for literally anything we needed. I can’t say enough good things about them. They all did an amazing job decorating our space, it was better than I was picturing. Our entire staff, Courtney, Mikayla, Maddie, Kaylee, Carrie, Sebastian, Christy and Gio were incredible - 10/10 for everyone. I couldn’t recommend this Wedgewood location enough. It was so easy. I’m so grateful we chose this venue!!!
