We had our wedding at Balistreri on 10/21/23 and everything was perfect! Mattie and Katy are extremely good at their jobs as event coordinators. They are both very friendly, informative, and quick to respond to any questions that came up throughout the planning process. The fact that Balistreri has an almost all-inclusive option for a very affordable price made planning really easy and fun for us. We were blown away by how delicious the in-house catered food was (our guests raved about it as well), and being able to bring in our own alcohol saved us so much money. I also found I didn't need many decorations as the venue itself is so beautiful and has a lot of natural greenery/plants. All in all, it was really cool to be able to support such a wonderful family-owned and ran business. If/when you check out the venue be sure to do a tasting and get the tour of the winery. We are both so happy we held our wedding at Balistreri Vineyards! Reviewed on 23-11-2023

We had a wonderful experience with Balistreri Vineyards! They made every day leading up to and the day of run so smoothly. They allow a lot of freedom as well with decor, your time in the venue, food, alcohol, etc. Balistreri is truly a diamond in the rough, it accounted for an incredibly warm and beautiful space to celebrate our special day! Mattie, our coordinator was with us every step of the way for any questions or concerns and made a plan with us prior to the day to make sure everything went to schedule and we were very impressed. We got nothing but compliments on the space, the amazing food, and the organization of the day. We highly recommend this place for an affordable yet amazing wedding! Reviewed on 04-12-2023

Balistreri was an absolutely beautiful venue for our wedding!

My husband and I have always been a big fan of wineries and doing wine tasting date nights. This place was beautiful and one of the more service inclusive and budget friendly options we found. They also allowed us to buy our own alcohol and bring it which was a great money saver. They provided our food, bartender, some decor (mostly draping), chairs tables glassware dishes and linens, a bridal suite and venue day of coordinator to help with set up of chairs and venue owned items. Mattie and Katy were the event coordinators and were both super informative and helpful when I would call on a random week day with questions. I think we got a great deal compared to other places and we are happy with how everything turned out. There was one odd little thing with our meals. We had a plated dinner that worked out to about 50.00 per person. When we had some people cancel after final numbers I wanted to see if we would be able to take the food we paid for to go so that we could enjoy it as dinner the next day at our airbnb since we paid for it. While I was told its not something they usually do they did make an exception and box it up for us. I just really hated the idea of $200 worth of food going to waste so we took two meals and we gave my parents the other two who said they were delicious. From our tasting to the night of the dinner the food didn’t taste 100% the same but I saw they got a new chef and think that might have been what the difference as. It was still very good. They did amazing with our request to box up the left over cake for guests to take as favors. The surrounding areas are not very cute but they do their best to cover all of the construction like equipment around them. Reviewed on 04-11-2023

From the moment we chose Balistreri Vineyards as our wedding venue, we knew we were in the best of hands. The entire planning process was rendered seamless thanks to their responsive team who were always on hand with timely and clear answers to our every query. Not only is Balistreri remarkably affordable, but the value you receive far surpasses the cost. The culinary experience was a highlight; the tasting session they organized for us was meticulously crafted, leading us to finalize a menu that left our guests raving. It's no exaggeration to say that their food was nothing short of incredible. Complementing the delightful menu was Balistreri's exquisite wine selection. Their sangria, in particular, is a concoction that still dances on our taste buds.The venue itself is a vision of beauty, effortlessly combining rustic charm with modern elegance. Even with our gathering of 70 guests, the space felt both intimate and expansive. In essence, Balistreri Vineyards didn't just host our wedding; they enriched our memories of that special day. To any couple looking for a venue that offers both aesthetic charm and exceptional service, Balistreri Vineyards comes with our wholehearted recommendation. We would like to give a special thanks to Katy, Mattie and the Balistreri’s for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! Reviewed on 29-09-2023

We held our wedding at Balistreri in March of 2023 and loved the experience from start to finish! From before we even booked, Mattie and Katie worked with us to explain all of our options, pricing, details, choices, etc. They were always responsive and happy to work with us to customize any options they presented. Knowing Colorado weather in March, we loved that they gave the option of indoor and outdoor spaces so we wouldn’t have to be locked into one or the other. We also loved that both spaces are beautiful as-is, and didn’t require much additional decor for the look we were trying to achieve. On the day-of, all of the venue staff worked to create a beautiful, seamless event. The food was delicious (the most common feedback from guests!) and everything was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you Balistreri team! Reviewed on 02-05-2023

Devon Lotkowski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 We absolutely adored this venue! From day one of meeting the staff and touring the venue we just got a good vibe. Katy and Mattie were so communicative throughout the entire process, answering emails and all our questions in a timely manner. We loved having the ability to decorate and make it our own by adding to the already beautiful space and decor. Choosing our own alcohol and being able to bring in an outsider pizza truck to cater was such a fun experience (even though Balistreri also has great food!). We loved the family like atmosphere Balistreri offers and the flexibility they allow with really making our wedding what we want was different from other places we toured that require more package like deals when booking. Even though it's in more of an industrial place like the other reviews mentioned, it was super easy to order Ubers and buses, whatever fits with your day! 100% recommend Balistreri!

Amy Ham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2022 Our wedding turned out even better than we had hoped or imagined, and Balisteri is a large reason for this! The aspects that stuck out the most: 1) The food - I think most people have low expectations for wedding food, but as their own restaurant, Balisteri makes incredible, delicious food. We had the charcuterie table for cocktail hour, which I would totally recommend - it was beautifully arranged and, of course, delicious. 2) The ability to purchase our own alcohol saved us a lot of money and allowed us to thoughfully choose the exact beverages and brands that we like. 3) Note that this venue is located in an industrial part of town. That said, this venue is very pretty and fit our vibe perfectly! The high ceilings, warm wood interior, outdoor string lights, and foliage both inside and out make this a beautiful wedding venue. It made our wedding feel very intimidate yet elevated at the same time. Reviewed on 08-11-2022

Mattie and Katy are extremely organized, communicative and easy going. They break everything down so it’s easy to understand and plan your big day. Then on the day of, the whole staff working the event were so kind and hospitable. We had one child at our wedding who is a picky eater and didn’t want to eat the food on our menu.

Alex Ungerman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2022 We could not have had a better experience than Balistreri Vineyards for our wedding. The process of planning felt so overwhelming when we were looking at different venues when we came across Balistreri at the suggestion of a family member. It first shocked us how reasonably priced they were compared to other places we were touring, as well as how stunning this place is hidden in the middle of nowhere basically.We did not have the budget for a wedding planner (even a day of coordinator), and were so nervous about how that would go, but you would have never known it from how helpful Mattie and Katy were throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer our questions and set us up great with a menu that was perfectly to our liking (that’s another thing, the food here is SO good), as well as table settings and decor that looked absolutely gorgeous.The venue has you provide your own alcohol, which saves a TON of money, but honestly the star of the show was the Viognier wine — which is made by the vineyard. It was so popular among our guests, that we ended up ordering several more bottles during the night - and the wine is discounted for people having a wedding, so that’s a major plus too.All in all, it was an incredible night thanks in no small part to the hard work of the team at Balistreri.

First, the support from Lauren and Mattie - whenever we needed something, they were a quick call or email away, always coming back with an answer that usually over-exceeded our expectations. We wanted to reschedule from November 2020 to July 2021 and they didn't even blink an eye, letting us pick any new available date we wanted. Next, the FOOD! You can't go wrong with any menu choice here, and the fact that it's all done in house makes the wedding planning process significantly easier. The entire Balistreri space has the perfect elements for a wedding - bridesmaids could get ready in the loft (it was so nice to be able to be in one place all day, two bathrooms, plenty of mirrors) and groomsmen could hang in the barrel room. The outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception space are stunning, from the greenery to the romantic lighting.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and those with allergies were super impressed about how each dish was labeled specifically to accommodate our guests. They worked with us to customize our menu and it was all great. Secondly, that we could bring our own liquor. Since the pandemic delayed us by a year, we really got to take advantage of sales.What turned out to be the most important: flexibility about moving inside for weather. We planned on an outdoor ceremony but this is Colorado so while it was 80 degrees the Saturday before, it was snowing for us. Most venues required us to make that call a week in advance; we picked Balistreri because they were so understanding about letting us hold out until the day of to make the real decision.

Jessica blew us away with her kind attitude and attention to detail. She was a pleasure to work with and easy to get ahold of for any of our needs.

Katie Blatter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2017 We did extensive google searches and combed through wedding websites looking for our venue. We consider ourselves lucky we stumbled upon Balistreri Vineyards.Jessica was our event coordinator and from the first time we spoke with her we knew Balistreri would be our venue. She was kind, accommodating, and very down to earth. Throughout our visits to the venue including the day of the ceremony we met several members of the staff as well as members of the family who own Balistreri. All were incredibly kind and very welcoming.As is the case for almost every couple, budget was a concern for our wedding. Balistreri allows you to bring in food from an outside caterer but we elected to have Balistreri cater the food. Jessica and her staff asked what our budget was and put together a menu based on our budget, rather than other places who required we make our budget fit their menus and pricing. We feel like we got a steal on our menu. Not only did they come in slightly under the budget we provided but the food was amazing. We had many of our guests talking for weeks after the event about how delicious the food was and how many of the passed appetizers they ate!As a winery, Balistreri obviously makes their own wine, and it is high quality. We strongly recommend the cherry wine, we ended up serving it during our reception and the guests loved it. In addition to their wine, Balistreri allows you to bring in your own outside alcohol, which was a huge cost saver.True to Colorado form, it was snowing the day before our April wedding so Jessica discussed with us at length alternate setup plans. She allowed us to make a game day decision for an indoor vs outdoor option and planned it out in such detail that we did not worry. The weather ended up being beautiful and we were able to hold the ceremony outdoors but either location would have been just what we wanted!Our only minor hiccup was that the venue is a working winery and therefore has patrons there during the day prior to the start of the event, which made setting up a few of our tables a little tricky. Despite this, Jessica assured us the other patrons would be gone, tables ready by the start of the ceremony. Sure enough, she made it happen so that everything was set up just how we wanted by ceremony go time without exception. Everything came together and looked beautiful, just the way we had envisioned it.Looking back, we cannot imagine hosting our wedding at any other venue. From the beautiful grounds, to the delicious wine, to the accommodating staff, Balistreri was a big part of making our big day the amazing day it was. Reviewed on 13-08-2017
Natalie V(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 I cannot say enough good things about Balistreri! The planning process was so smooth, Jessica is incredibly responsive and flexible. This has become one of our favorite places to bring people, and we're so glad we could throw our wedding here. The staff was extremely kind, they treat you like a friend and go above and beyond in order to make you feel important. Thank you guys for making our day exactly what we had dreamed it would be!

Samantha Shomaker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-01-2017 Jessica and everyone at Balistreri were so helpful! I loved that they allowed us to use any centerpieces/tablecloths, etc. which helped save money. They also allowed us to set up the night before (we got married in winter, so there were no other events scheduled) which made such a difference in my day! I really felt like I was able to enjoy my wedding day instead of stressing about getting things done. Jessica was extremely responsive and quickly answered any questions I had (which were many) and made sure myself, the bridesmaids, my groom, and his groomsmen had snacks and drinks available the day of. She and her staff helped coordinate everything, even a sparkler exit (which they helped light!) I can't say enough about how wonderful they all were and what a great experience they made the wedding and the wedding-planning process. Reviewed on 22-01-2017

Kayla Greer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2015 My husband and I just had our wedding here at the end of May. Jessica and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing! Since we don't live in Colorado, we had to plan everything from afar.. Jessica was so great at communicating with us and made it so easy! We were able to bring in our own decorations, flowers, and used their caterer (who is absolutely wonderful). \rWe were supposed to have our ceremony outside but ended up getting rained out so we moved it inside at the last minute and everyone was so helpful about getting things done in time! We had a cocktail hour down in their wine cellar and it was a huge hit!\rThis venue was perfect for our special day :) Reviewed on 15-06-2015
Natalie Imsorn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2013 This is a family owned vineyard and they just added on their event center. They were very kind and accomodating to all of my needs and did everything they could to make my day special. I'd definitely recommend this venue. Reviewed on 26-06-2013
