Gosh there are just so many details I’m obsessed with this wedding. Jenn and Riley first met in 2019 through some mutual friends and started dating a few months later. After that, the rest is history. Both are very focused on spending time in the outdoors with their dog, Henry. If they aren’t outdoors they’re spending time with friends and family. One thing that Jenn was really excited for was the Beverage Burros from Rocky Mountain Beverage Burros. These Beverage Burros were a hit at their wedding! Most of Jenn’s family lives in Denmark so it was cool to see all of them come to the States to celebrate Jenn and Riley’s marriage. Really the whole wedding was about them coming together and spending time with family.

Wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch

Spruce Mountain Ranch is a beautiful Colorado ranch wedding venue located between Denver and Colorado Springs. Truly it’s a personal favorite venue of mine! It features two separate properties just a mile apart, Upper Ranch being geared more towards larger weddings, and Lower Ranch a better option for more intimate and small weddings. You don’t even know there’s a wedding happening at the other location!

This venue celebrates the beauty of Colorado and is a perfect option for anyone wanting to be in the mountains without a long trip. It spans over 450 acres and sits in a truly peaceful location, surrounded by the foothills. Spruce Mountain Ranch prides themselves on making sure your vision turns into a reality and that your wedding is everything you’ve dreamed of.

Between the stunning views here and the incredible staff, I will always rave about this wonderful wedding venue!

Lower Ranch Weddings

Lower Ranch, where Jenn and Riley’s wedding was celebrated, includes five venues, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from.

Albert’s Lodge

Albert’s Lodge is a large, rustic yet elegant space with the kind of vibe you’d want from a Colorado wedding venue. It has a nice front porch for your guests to enjoy, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and a built in bar. Your guests could also enjoy a private room that has a pool table, TV, and a wet bar. This space has doors that open up to a courtyard lit up with market lights and is perfect for enjoying beautiful Colorado nights.

Colorado Room

This smaller rustic space is perfect if you prefer to enjoy both the indoors and outdoors for your day. It has beautiful flower gardens, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a stream and dewpond, and activities to entertain your guests. You can truly enjoy the surroundings in this space!

The Courtyard

Between the Albert’s Lodge and Colorado Room, The Courtyard is an outdoor area underneath beautiful market lights. It’s surrounded by rock walls, and has a very rustic log pergola-covered entrance. It’s a great option if you want your guests to enjoy dancing under the stars, or utilize it as part of your grand entrance if you are using one of the surrounding spaces.

Grace’s Chapel

Grace’s Chapel is such a romantic and serene spot that sits in the property’s breathtaking gardens. For a ceremony, it will take place under the shade of a lush old Willow tree. You’ll feel transported to a venue in the South! You also have a view of Spruce Mountain, a flowing creek, and all the beautiful flowers as well.

Mountainside

The Mountainside, a final venue option at Lower Ranch, is pictured directly below and it definitely speaks for itself! This location has the most stunning backdrop for such an important moment and gives you the opportunity to appreciate the incredible surroundings. You get views of the whole ranch, as well as Ogddn Pond. It’s really a breathtaking spot!
