About This Vendor
Upscale Mountain Riverfront Private Event Center
Blackstone River Ranch is an elegant mountain wedding venue located in Idaho Springs, CO. Just a 35-minute drive from Denver, this tucked-away resort is conveniently accessible while remaining blissfully secluded. The venue only hosts one event per day, meaning that on your magical day of love you will have exclusive access to the grounds. Offering spectacular views of the landscape and surrounded by whispering pines and aspens, this retreat is a dreamy location to celebrate your momentous love story. Blackstone River Ranch has numerous paths and grottos for you to explore on your wedding day. Take photographs under the covered bridge and swing, dip your toes in the river, or go up into the mountains for a dramatic backdrop. A dedicated ceremony site offers ample room to exchange your vows in front of friends, family, and swaying evergreens. Afterward, an outdoor lounge along the creek with rustic tables and chairs, draping fabrics, and string lights makes for an atmospheric spot for cocktail hours. For the reception, a large sailcloth tent is set up in the months of May - October to accommodate dinner and dancing. Indoors, two get-ready suites are adorned with chic and inviting furnishings that add to the luxurious feel of the ranch. Get in touch with Blackstone River Ranch to learn more about their comprehensive wedding packages. Rentals come with tables and chairs, lighting, sound (package depending), help with setup and cleanup, and so much more. The venue has a partnership with the nearby Water & Stone Retreat. Here, you can reserve cabins six months ahead of the nuptials weekend for you and your guests. Ideal for those seeking a mountain wedding without the long drive to the western slope, this getaway is a breathtaking location to make timeless memories.

We fell in love with Blackstone before we even toured having seen it on Instagram. Seeing it in person blew us away. It is the perfect location to have that magical outdoor Colorado ceremony. In late September, the leaves are changing while the flowers are still in bloom giving the venue an effortless beauty that did not require a ton of decor. The tent was a great place to have a reception keeping everyone warm into the evening while still letting you feel the crisp mountain air. The venue staff are incredibly generous and easy to work with answering all of our questions and being transparent about pricing. Our wedding went exactly as we pictured it when we fell in love with it in the first place. We also have had multiple guests and others reach out to us raving and asking about our amazing venue. Highly recommend setting this as the backdrop for your big day.

Honestly I knew I wanted to get married at Blackstone before I was even engaged. It's extremely close to Denver, which makes it easy for guests to attend, while feeling like you're in a secluded mountain woodland dream. The creek that flows through the venue had giant trout living their best lives, the grove of Aspen trees were basically free decor for our autumn wedding. This venue is extremely organized and professional so our day ran absolutely smoothly. We are so grateful we got to celebrate our dream wedding.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch is the only venue we looked at, and immediately knew it was the one for us. It is absolutely beautiful, magical, and just has such a lovely vibe. We received so many compliments on everything about the venue, and I still love looking at photos We took! I'll admit that at first I thought it was odd that they provide a list of required and preferred vendors to use with their location, but I realized that helped me narrow down our options. I'm an indecisive person, so having fewer options to choose from helped me! The staff was so helpful, kind, and responsive, and made planning everything so much easier. I can't imagine having our special day anywhere else. Thank you guys!

What a Venue!!! If you are looking for a mountain wedding venue close to Denver, look no further!! My destination wedding there was an absolute dream and my guests were awe-struck by the beauty of the entire property. We have gotten countless \"This was the best wedding I have ever been to\" comments. Also, their recommended vendors are TOP NOTCH and most of them know each other and have all worked together at Blackstone before, so literally everything went seamless! 10/10 recommend having your wedding or event at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. There is no way you will regret it!! I haven't gotten my professional photos back yet, but the attached are from my guests and vendors!Pro Tip WHEN you choose Blackstone Rivers Ranch: We had all of our wedding party and guests stay at the Ameristar Blackhawk Casino (25 min away from the venue) and it was incredible because the bar is open all night long and all the drinks were $4. So the casino after party (after both the rehearsal dinner at Tommy Knockers AND the wedding) were an absolute HIT. It's expensive to stay there but their prices dropped substantially the week before my wedding and most of our guests were able to cancel their rooms and re-book at the cheaper price.Also, Blackstone will make you use one of their required vendors for a planner and caterer, I HIGHLY suggest MAG events and Mountain Crust Catering (unlimited pizza buffet truck). My guests are still talking about the pizza and again \"how it was the best wedding they had ever been to\"

We held our September '23 wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch and couldn't recommend it enough. Guests (90% of them from the Midwest) raved about how unique and stunning the venue was, including the various spaces between the ceremony area, cocktail hour space, and reception tent. While the location off I-70 was a concern for us (with traffic/construction), we had no issues transporting people from the hotel in Golden. It's not the cheapest of venues and there are quite a bit of upsells, but the quality is evident. The grounds of the venue were beautiful day-of (after only seeing it in late October and early May) and I was so impressed with the flowers and foliage, and the creek of course. The team was really easy to work with, and never added to the stress of planning a wedding. Hoping I get to attend as a guest one day :) Thanks, BRR team!

The moment we stepped foot at Blackstone Rivers Ranch, we were blown away by the beauty of the surroundings, the gorgeous tent, and rolling creek along the backside of the property.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue from the moment we saw it online miles away! It's everything you'd want for a wedding... big property making for a fun welcome, beautiful ceremony, and cocktail hour and reception all in once place. The people were so kind and easy to work with. It poured rain on our wedding day, but it didn't matter. Between our planner, florist, and property manager, they had everything shift inside the tent and it made for an even more intimate and romantic wedding ceremony. People said it was the best wedding they had been to. Highly recommend booking this venue for your wedding!

My husband and I LOVED everything about our Blackstone Wedding! It was the perfect outdoor venue with beautiful trees, a lovely lit tent, and- the selling point for us- a creek running through it! When we toured the venue in the snowy months of winter, we thought it was gorgeous, but it was even greater than we could have hoped by the time our July wedding rolled around! All of our guests (especially the ones from out of town) RAVED about the location. The Blackstone staff is caring, responsive, and helped us create the wedding of our dreams. They paid attention to details that I didn’t even know existed when planning a wedding! Perfect location for an outdoor wedding in the (not-to-far-from-the-city) mountains. Can't recommend it enough!

We just got married at Blackstone Rivers Ranch and it was absolutely the perfect day. We are from out of state and when touring wedding venues, we knew right away that Blackstone was everything we wanted. Mountains, running creek, forest, and beautiful white tent. They have required vendors and some rules, but they were very up front with everything. It actually made the process a lot smoother having a list of vendors to choose from. They have great communication and are very professional. My only wish is that we could relive the day over and over again! Thank you to the BRR team!

Our planning and booking process could not have gone smoother. The drinks were fantastic, and the fire pit was a big hit with all our guests. Staying in their Claim Jumper Cabin also meant we could just relax and crash at the end of the night on site, plus we were able to enjoy our morning coffee by the creek as newlyweds. Money well spent on the Wedding of our dreams.

We couldn’t have picked a better venue. The location is great for planning for people out of town, as it’s not too far from Denver if your guests are staying there. The property is beautiful, and the mountain drive perfectly sets the mood as you pull up to the gate. The staff were great to deal with at every step of the process. The communication was clear and there were no surprises. At first, we were skeptical about choosing from a small list of vendors. But, looking back we wouldn’t change a single thing about the process. Our vendors were incredible, and the previous experience working together definitely showed. We didn’t have to worry about anything during our day (except one unruly aunt, sorry about that, lol). The staff made sure everything was taken care of before we needed to think about it. One of the only things you can’t control on your wedding day is the weather, and thankfully we had perfect weather. Blackstone was really showcasing its beauty during our mid-October wedding. The Blackstone property itself, as well as the surrounding area, gave us the most perfect day of weather we could’ve imagined. It was a snowy morning that turned into a sunny afternoon and settled into perfect, chilly, bonfire weather. It was our Fall Wedding dream come true. I’m writing this review pretty late, but in the time since our wedding, we have had so many guests bring up how beautiful Blackstone is and how wonderful their night was. For that, we cannot thank them enough.

Post-Covid was an interesting time to book a venue for a wedding. In the summer of 2021 we started looking for venues for the following summer, but it seemed everyplace we looked at was just about fully booked. My Wife and her Sister ventured into Blackstone Rivers Ranch after a friend had recommended they swing by. As fate would have it, they had a Saturday available the exact weekend we were hoping to get married. I can tell you first hand how lucky we were to book Blackstone Rivers Ranch for our wedding. The ambiance is perfect. It's outdoorsy with a very Colorado mountain feel while also retaining a sense of contemporary class. The weather was perfect for our ceremony but had started to rain during the reception and we barely noticed. The massive tent held our 150 guests with room to spare. The staff at Blackstone Rivers Ranch were a joy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results. I would gladly recommend Blackstone Rivers Ranch to anyone looking for wedding in nature.

Post-Covid was an interesting time to book a venue for a wedding. In the summer of 2021 we started looking for venues for the following summer, but it seemed everyplace we looked at was just about fully booked. My Wife and her Sister ventured into Blackstone Rivers Ranch after a friend had recommended they swing by. As fate would have it, they had a Saturday available the exact weekend we were hoping to get married. I can tell you first hand how lucky we were to book Blackstone Rivers Ranch for our wedding.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch is an absolute dream! My husband and I looked at 10 venues in the Denver/front range area and absolutely fell in love with BRR as soon as we stepped foot on the property to tour it - nothing else could compare. The stream, the bistro lights, the trees and flowers, having so much space and being the only event there the day - pure perfection! There are so many places for stunning photographs and we CANNOT wait to see what our photographer captured. The entire BRR team is so friendly, professional, helpful and responsive. It's very clear that they excel in what they do and take great care of the property, especially considering how many events come through there! Small touches like having the benches dried off before the ceremony, maintaining the fire pit and turning on the heaters when the evening got chilly happened without us even noticing -- the small details make such a big difference! We had so many guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever been to - we might be biased, but we couldn't agree more. We had the wedding of our dreams, thank you BRR and staff!

Working with their in-house planning team, Blackstone Rivers Ranch was everything we were hoping it would be and more. The space was beautiful and we felt as if we were more remote in the mountains than we actually were. Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a mountain wedding without having guests trek deep into the range.

It was the perfect venue to be able to have ceremony and reception in one beautiful location. They make it so easy with the pricing that includes everything you need and the ability to add on some additional features. We chose to add the use of the fire pit for a s’mores send off at the end of the evening. It was definitely worth it to add the beautiful bridal dressing room and groom’s dressing room. The staff is responsive during the process and were attentive the day of. The scenery around the property is beautiful for the wedding photos. We got many comments from our wedding guests saying how amazing everything was. It was so great having a mountain wedding about an hour from Denver! Would definitely recommend Blackstone Rivers Ranch.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch helped make my dream wedding come true to the highest standard. I can not say enough positive things about the day of our wedding. Everyone said it was the most beautiful wedding they had been to and it felt like a fairytale! With that being said, they definitely are in the business to make a profit. Little things add up quickly, so definitely keep that in mind with your budget. They did charge us a lot of money to change our date with COVID which was a big bummer - that would be my only complaint. I know businesses need to continue making money but a pandemic wasn't really in our plans either, I wish the venue would have met us in the middle. Overall, I would not change a thing about picking this venue, they are very professional and have such a beautiful property, our wedding turned out even better then I had imagined it!

They are both so responsive and helpful. They really know what they’re doing and everything ran so smoothly the day of. We had our wedding at the end of August and it was an out of state wedding for everyone except us. If a lot of your guests are traveling from out of state I HIGHLY recommend BRR. We had a hotel block in Denver so everyone got to experience the city for one night, and then it’s a quick 40 min shuttle ride to the venue. So many guests commented on how it was the coolest wedding venue they’ve ever been to. BRR also provides a list of preferred vendors which helped us narrow down our search as well as give us peace of mind that these vendors have been vetted, have worked at BRR many times, and know what they are doing. The staff at BRR are all so polite and professional. Seriously cannot imagine my wedding anywhere else! THANK YOU BRR!

By far the most BEAUTIFUL venue, we couldn’t have asked for a more stunning, intimate setting. Especially during covid precautions, the outdoor ceremony, beach area, and reception tent was absolutely perfect! Our guests all traveled from out of state to be here for our special day, we had endless compliments on how amazing our wedding was, the scenic views, the weather, the staff, and overwell expressing their amazement at our wedding and how it was the best they’ve ever been to Nadine, Cheryl-Anne and the whole team were so accommodating and always responsive over communication needs. They really made the whole day come together as envisioned, highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, outdoor Colorado mountain setting!-Matt and Jaena M.

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and intimate setting. Not only is everything at Blackstone gorgeous and thoughtful on its own, but all highlights the natural beauty of the mountains which is something we loved. While the site can accommodate a huge event, we were thrilled to find a venue that offered a micro-wedding package for our 20-person party in a space that wasn’t so large that it overwhelmed us. All of the preferred vendors we choose were fantastic. We trusted them to make quite a few choices and couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out which made things so easy. Lastly, wanted to share just how wonderful Cheryl at Blackstone was the day of. Everything ran so well and looked beautiful. She even timed our ceremony music perfectly to cut out the pieces we didn’t realize were there at the last minute! We loved it all!

We had the most incredible evening st Blackstone. We still have people coming up to us expressing their amazement at our wedding and how it was the best they’ve ever been to. Blackstone played a large part in that for sure. They were flexible on multiple accounts and not so flexible on others. If you want to bring things in that aren’t on an approved list you are out of luck. However, that being said they put that policy in place to protect their clients and make sure that their day goes off without a hitch. It was at most mildly inconvenient, and truly made sense once explained. There were a couple of communication issues in regards to certain things being ordered or not, as well as trying to bring in our own special alcohol. Truly though, other than minor hiccups (which were few and far between) Nadine, Cheryl-Anne, and their whole team were accommodating and so generous with answering our questions and working through this process with us. We are grateful to them for being such an integral part of making our most special day absolutely incredible!

Nadine and Cheryl run a no nonsense business with frequent check ins to get the job done right. The venue is absolutely beautiful and speaks for itself. The vendor list honestly helped narrow down any options (as you know planning can be time consuming!). Additionally the elevation is not extreme for any of your out of towners.We had 200 guests and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves. Whether it be by the fire pits, the seating are by the ceremony, or on the dance floor. I have referred at least 2 more brides their way and haven't gotten anything but amazing feedback. Pictures don't do it justice, highly recommend!

Our wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch was nothing short of magical!! We knew this was our wedding venue the second we saw it, and the wedding day beyond exceeded our expectations. The staff takes amazing care of the grounds and the surroundings are so naturally beautiful that even with minimalist styling the venue still shines. From our site visit all the way through the planning process, the staff was friendly, responsive, and helpful (I'm an event planner myself so I know how important it is to have a vendor you can trust). We had a lot of guests coming from out of town so we loved that the venue was close enough to bus everyone from Denver, but still felt like a destination that gave all of our guests a taste of the Colorado mountains. I also loved that there were so many amazing details at Blackstone that made the venue feel extra special – the ceremony benches, reception chairs, reclaimed wood tables, the bars, the bridal & groom suites, and more. I would highly recommend Blackstone to anyone looking to get married in Colorado! Thank you for everything, Blackstone!!

After a horrible few days searching for venues and on the verge of giving up, my friend suggested I check out BRR and I am so glad she did. It was exactly what we wanted, a outdoor mountain wedding in an aspen grove. The staff is extremely helpful. I really didn't want to because I think their rules make sense, but I only marked them down on flexibility because they do have some strict rules (such as liquor, timing, etc), but I don't think that should count against them, just what they have to do to maintain their beautiful space. My only regret is that I couldn't control the weather for my October wedding so my guests did not get to enjoy all the various nooks they have. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for something a little different than the typical mountain venue.

We looked at so many ranch venues in the mountains and all of them left us feeling a little underwhelmed-until we visited Blackstone Rivers Ranch! From the second we arrived on the property we knew we simply couldn't get married anywhere else. The ranch has the most magical vibe! While searching for a venue I said that I wanted something that was \"rustic elegant,\" but had trouble finding something that really fit that feeling; after touring Blackstone it was undeniable that I had finally found the PERFECT spot! We had a little bit of sticker shock initially, but knew that we were willing to compromise on other areas of our day to be able to get married at the venue of our dreams. The Blackstone team is incredibly professional and easy to work with! They made the entire planning process go so smoothly and were always prompt in answering any of the questions I needed answered. Our day truly could not have been more perfect--the sun shining through the trees, the creek flowing behind the ceremony site, the perfect mountain weather-everything was an absolute dream. The venue staff was SO warm and welcoming when I arrived for the day, their excitement made me even more excited! Every wedding guest that I talked to throughout the day (and after) commented on how absolutely beautiful and magical the venue was, and said that we couldn't have picked a better place to have our wedding. Our photos on the property are breath taking and I am so glad that i'll always be able to look back fondly at our day and remember how lovely it was thanks to Blackstone Rivers Ranch. We have absolutely no regrets about having our wedding at the ranch! I wish we could get married again every year just so I could spend more time there. We hope to celebrate our anniversary's by staying at the Claim Jumper Cabin like we did on our wedding night! It was so cozy and the perfect place to wake up on our first morning as husband and wife!

This venue is a dream. We were looking for a venue with a mountain feel that would still be easy for my grandmother and out of town guests to get to. As soon as I saw Blackstone Rivers Ranch I knew it was perfect. It is in the forest near Mt. Evans with a gorgeous creek running right through it, but only 40 minutes from Denver. The team there is also wonderful. They made the entire experience easy and seamless from beginning to end. We were invited for a fun wine tasting prior to the wedding so we got to sample all of the wonderful wines available for the wedding. They have a liquor license so they must provide the alcohol, but they do not skimp here. They obviously take their time sourcing wonderful wines from other family owned and operated businesses. We were thrilled with our selections. I was blown away by how beautiful it was on the day of our wedding. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the tent/tables/chairs are gorgeous and far beyond anything I saw when touring other venues. All of my guests commented about how gorgeous it was and wondered how I found it. Thank you for a perfect evening Blackstone Rivers Ranch!! The only thing we are sad about is that it is over!

The Betz's are young entrepreneurs with a compelling vision and I believe they will be a large part of the revitalization of Idaho Springs. Their staff was completely professional, accommodating, and extremely organized — true experts of the trade.I highly recommend Blackstone to anyone looking for a classic, elegant and enriched mountain wedding experience.

Blackstone was everything we needed for our wedding day!!! It was the first venue we went to and everything else failed to compare to the beautiful site. It definitely helped that Cheryl gave us the tour and she was so friendly and inviting! Now, I couldn’t imagine us getting married anywhere else. It was an amazing experience through and through, and even when we hit a few bumps in the road on our way to making the day happen, the entire staff at Blackstone (including the owners) were right there and ready to help us make any adjustments we needed!!! Our day went off without a hitch ;) and it was almost entirely due to their efforts to make sure we had everything we needed. I wish I could go back and get married again just. To re-live the magic of it all. Thank you, Blackstone! You guys made our day perfect. -Jessie & Amber

We had our wedding at BRR about a month ago and it was perfect! It was the most beautiful place to invite all of our out of town friends and family for our wedding, and our guests could not stop commenting on how great it was. I love the table and chairs they provided and that they have the option to rent place settings and glassware, that was so convenient. We booked about a year in advance and Cheryl and Nadine always responded quickly and were such a great help throughout the whole process. This was the best decision we made for our big day and we will always cherish this place.

I'm still in dreamland thinking about my mountain wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. Currently residing in Australia, my husband and I wanted to go back to our roots and have a beautiful mountain wedding. I was back in the states over Memorial Day and Blackstone was the only venue I had a chance to see in person. Honestly, it was all I needed. We booked them shortly thereafter for a wedding in 5 months. Given the timezone difference and correspondence coming in at weird hours, nothing slipped through the cracks. Cheryl and Nadine were so wonderful to work with. They answered all my questions and even made a few requests happen for me that I truly appreciate. I was so happy to hear a few blankets would be provided for guests during the ceremony. I was hoping there would be a lovely dusting of snow on the grounds on my wedding day and I got my wish. It was such a treat to be able to share such a beautiful place with our out of town guests. Mother nature put on a show for us at the end of October, and Blackstone, took care of the rest.I highly suggest booking the Claim Jumper Cabin if it is available during your wedding weekend. It is the most adorable, peaceful place to stay. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, we built a fire and it was so magical. I really cannot recommend this venue more. They provide luxe, but subtle, details and let the surroundings, creek, and immaculate grounds do the rest. I am thankful for everything they did to help me get down the aisle and everything they did behind the scenes day-of. Thank you heaps!

The creek is beautiful any time of the year and there are plenty of hidden spots for pictures. We got married on the bridge with the sounds of the creek in the background, it was so peaceful.

It is an absolutely beautiful, and private venue just far enough out of the city to make you feel in the mountains, but not so far that your out of town guests have to spend an entire day of travel just to get there. Cheryl was just wonderful to work with, and Nadine was incredibly helpful during the planning process.

There is not a more beautiful venue on earth the Blackstone Rivers Ranch. Everything is just perfect, the scenery, the mountains, the small rivers, the aspen trees. The large white tent is *literally* the one you imagine at the end of Harry Potter. The entire place was constructed with precision and care, from the homemade farm tables to the old mining details on inside the large lodge. We wanted an outdoor mountain setting that could accommodate 200 people within 30 minutes of Denver, and Blackstone honestly was the ONLY venue that fit that description. It was exactly everything we could have hoped for in a venue. Then why the 4 stars you ask? While the venue itself is perfect, they are clearly still new to the business. Our caterer, our photographer, our day of coordinators, and us all had issues with the staff. They were often slow to respond and then inconsistent in what we were told. While nothing was such a big problem that it affected our big day, there were far more headaches then we expected. I assume and hope it's just growing pains, but read your contracts carefully and ask A LOT of questions. Other than that, picture perfect in every way.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch was the best decision we ever made when selecting our wedding venue. We arrived when it was still under construction but hopped in the car and said \"it's perfect\" to one another. The property was beautiful and as we walked around with the owner Rachel, we could just tell that she was going to see this through and had an amazing vision for it. And boy she did not disappoint. A big selling point for us was the ADA accessibility as well. Being new construction, it was completely accessible (aside from the upstairs room) and since my father is a quadriplegic, this meant so much. We asked about accessibility to other venues and would receive unsure responses but with Blackstone, we were never concerned. My father was able to \"walk\" me down the aisle as there was a perfectly paved ramp and path from the lodge up to the ceremony site, and the staff was so accommodating and moved heavy benches and his seat in the tent out of the way for the wheelchair. As I mentioned, the venue is unbelievably beautiful. Rachel and Zuri have done an incredible job. They have thought everything out, evening landscaping around the areas where the tent straps come down with gorgeous wildflowers. We had rain on our day and the staff was so great about accommodating guests as we pushed the ceremony back and somehow dried all of the benches off perfectly for guests to sit! (We had many guests amazed at their skills with this :) ). The entire day was perfect. The team at Blackstone is professionally, friendly, and passionate about what they're doing. We had so many family members and guests tell us how incredible they were throughout the evening, and we continue to have people tell us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. I could not recommend Blackstone Rivers Ranch enough. It made me want to go into event planning just to be a part of their team! We're looking forward to spending our anniversary at the Claim Jumper cabin as well!

Blackstone Rivers Ranch is a great place to get married! I can easily say that they are bar none the best venue to accommodate any sized group in a scenic outdoor location. The bridal room and grooms suite are great places to get ready the day of and I highly recommend staying in the Claim Jumper cabin that night, it was SO nice to be able to stumble to bed on the night of your wedding after dancing your heart out. The staff is easy to work with when planning (which can get hectic) and on the day of they worked in perfect harmony. Neither my wife or myself had to lift a finger or think about a single thing on our wedding day which is the way it is supposed to be! Highly recommend.

Every detail was carefully tended to from checking the sound for the ceremony to ensuring the right color napkins were at the reception. We used the elopement package- and the upstairs room was the perfect intimate venue to celebrate with our closest family and friends. It was very convenient for our out of town visitors, and easy to find. A great mountain backdrop is only a few minutes away so we were able to get the mountain wedding picture we wanted, in addition to the many photo opportunities around the venue. I would definitely recommend it to any couple looking to elope in a beautiful mountain setting!

We first visited Blackstone Rivers Ranch while construction was still underway. Huge machinery and dirt patches abounded, but my (now) husband and I immediately recognized the vision of Rachel and Zuri as something that fit both our style and personalities. We immediately fell in love. On the actual big day of our wedding, BRR couldn’t have been lovelier, and I found myself literally skipping down the trail from the Claim Jumper Cabin, where we had stayed the night before. From my perspective as bride, everything was smooth sailing with love and rainbows all around. Of course that just speaks to the professionalism of the team as anyone who has been involved with a wedding of 130+ guests knows that there’s no such thing as perfect “smooth sailing”! But the grounds were exquisite, the ceremony was simply stunning (my family and in-laws are STILL talking about it!), the backdrop of yellowing aspen trees couldn’t have been more perfect, the ambiance during cocktail hour creek-side was charming, and everything ran like clockwork (at least it did from MY perspective!). The wedding party raved over the bride and groom suites, and many of our male guests loved sneaking away from the cacophony of the tent to the Glory Hole where they enjoyed watching some sports highlights in peace. My husband and I ended our magical day by retiring to the Claim Jumper Cabin for a second night, and the ease of just walking hand-in-hand up the trail to our honeymoon suite was truly worth every penny. We loved working with Rachel and Jenn, and we can’t wait to find another excuse to return to Blackstone Rivers Ranch in the future. Thank you so much! Rachel and Troy Medina

Many of the wedding guests traveled from New York and the mid-west, and all were amazed by the enchanting setting at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. The babbling brook, aspen trees and scenic backdrops provide a rustic beauty to the landscape and design at BRR, which is enhanced by many unique handmade touches throughout the venue, such as seats that Zuri carved by from tree trunks, which we sat on for the wedding ceremony, and the bar also carved from trees. The fire pit at night was an added bonus to the festivities.Being from out of state, we had to do much of the wedding planning from long distance, but Rachel was personally involved to assist us and provide updates throughout the process, and on the day of the wedding Rachel was on-site from the moment we arrived until the guests departed and the bride and groom retired for the evening to the honeymoon suite at BRR.

If you are looking for a gorgeous mountain retreat under an hour from Denver with elegant finishes, Blackstone Rivers Ranch is IT! From the moment we met Rachel and saw the beauty of the Ranch, we were in love. This venue is captivating! The natural beauty of Colorado surrounds you and Rachel and Zuri have carefully selected every detail and finish from the gorgeous sailcloth tent, to the elegant rustic exterior with lavishly appointed interior of the lodge, to the dreamy fairy lights in the wooded cocktail hour location. They have truly thought of everything! Our vendors were even blown away by the beauty of the Ranch and our guests are still gushing over how amazing it is! Our package included a photo booth in a darling original wood shack with paned window and a door, located next to the wooden covered bridge that overlooks the river (swoon!). The bridal suite and grooms rooms are beautifully appointed and spacious, each with a private deck and plenty of room for getting ready with your bridal party and well stocked with snacks and cocktails of your choice on the big day. Rachel and Jen brought my vision to life and absolutely exceeded our expectations. They are incredibly professional, responsive, have a true passion for what they do, and deliver exceptional results. Working with them made things SO easy for us. Jen assisted in coordinating all of our vendors and suggested a floor plan beforehand which took so much pressure off of us in those very busy weeks before the big day. Choosing Blackstone Rivers Ranch made everything run seamlessly and we couldn't be more pleased with how our wedding turned out. I cannot recommend Blackstone Rivers Ranch highly enough. Rachel and Zuri were truly delightful, we can't wait to come back to the Claim Jumper cabin year after year to celebrate our anniversary. Book BRR as your wedding venue, you will be so glad you did!

We are so incredibly fortunate to have connected with Rachel and Zuri at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. From our very first meeting, they were easy to work with, and it was clear that they were eager and excited to help us carry out our vision for our wedding day. Their vision totally aligned with ours, and it was effortless to work together.One thing we really valued about the Blackstone experience was the flexible time frames offered. Rather than boxing us into a pre-packaged timeline like most other venues, they allowed us to schedule the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at times of our choosing. The Ranch has unique subsections across its grounds (rustic building with bridal suite and groom’s lounge, woodsy ceremony site, creekside cocktail hour, reception under the sailcloth tent), so holding the entire event there felt intimate yet spacious with 100 guests. The package we chose included unique perks such as a photo booth, a wooden envelope box, food and drinks of our choosing in the bridal suite and groom’s lounge, an overnight stay in a rustic honeymoon suite cabin, and homemade breakfast delivered in the morning. The space and grounds were also so stunning that the only decorations we needed to provide were centerpieces and a little décor for the sweetheart table.Jenn, the venue coordinator, was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process, up to and through the reception. She was always pleasant and handled all requests with grace and an easy-going demeanor.On our wedding day, the entire Blackstone staff worked tirelessly to ensure everything went smoothly and that we were happy at all times. It was a long day for the staff, but everyone seemed excited for us and pleased to help create our unique celebration.Overall, Blackstone is a magical place destined to become one of the area's premiere wedding venues. We'd recommend it to anyone seeking a serene, stunning, rustic but elegant setting for their big day!

We are so incredibly fortunate to have connected with Rachel and Zuri at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. From our very first meeting, they were easy to work with, and it was clear that they were eager and excited to help us carry out our vision for our wedding day.
