Katie MacTaggart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2019 Pelican Lakes is a beautiful venue. I have had so many guests comment on how wonderful the setting was. One even commented that she is already planning her high school daughter's wedding there (haha). Shannon is the best, and she was always quick to respond when my husband or I needed anything. She is extremely detailed oriented, and had a very professional crew helping to make our day perfect. The food was also catered by Pelican Lakes and was delicious. I would definitely recommend this venue- it was perfect. Reviewed on 28-03-2020

Katy Watt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 100% dream come true! Shannon was attentive to detail from when we were shopping for a venue, through the night of the wedding. She always was available for phone calls and questions, and responsive when we needed to make a last minute change. We did not have to stress or worry about timelines because Shannon and her staff were on top of it!The food was absolutely amazing!

Alanna Puzak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 We had our wedding June 24 2017 and I could not have asked for anything better than this place! This place was an absolute dream come true! It is affordable, trusting, great food, and just an over all great place. Shannon is amazing to work with and I recommended her to everyone. She can really make the wedding what you want for the price you want. There are three different places to get married on the golf course and we went with the island. We got 12 hours of rental time on the island, plus drinks, food, rehearsal dinner, dance floor, fans, lights, everything for a reasonable price. The entire price of the wedding was about a third of the price every where else was charging, and everywhere else was giving you half of the stuff that Pelican Lakes provides. The island is beautiful and everyone who works there is just fantastic. I got a horse and carriage, island, boat, sparklers, everything I could have ever dreamed of for such a great price and it was all beautiful! I have people still tell me that this venue is amazing and the best wedding they have been to yet. And Shannon really takes care of you. She helps make a billing plan so you have time to pay off the wedding, she made sure I ate which was huge, and she is right there every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone!

Mike Fabrizio(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2016 PERFECT! What an awesome venue, a great staff, and of course a great golf course. But, our wedding day was perfect, thanks to the help of Shannon, Lorna and the team. We decided on The Island to host our special day, and we couldn't have dreamed of a better venue. You have the water, the pelicans, the beach, and plenty of space to have a huge party. We had about 145 guests and it was very comfortable! My wife and I both worked at golf courses, and we know they aren't typically known for the food. But, we just loved the BBQ brisket and pulled pork. I also couldn't get enough of the smoked salmons. Mmmmm. I only know one person who was married here before us, and that also makes it really special. If I were you, put down the deposit, and make it your official wedding venue because you won't regret it one ounce. Reviewed on 17-10-2016
Diane Cays(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2016 Shannon is a delight to work with, and everything went so smoothly.

Lindsey Francen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2015 We had our wedding and reception there at the end of May and could not have been more pleased! \rPros:\r- Wedding coordinator to help with the preparation and day of things at the venue, plus Taylor is AMAZING\r- They do the venue for ceremony and reception and all the setup so you don't have to worry about tables, chairs, and linens, it is included in the price.\r- Food and drinks were great, we had so many compliments so it is a double bonus that you don't have to find a vendor and worry about whether they will be on time and if the food is good. I would suggest their margaritas too.\r- The island is beautiful for a single location ceremony and reception.\r\rCons:\r- A little pricey, but considering the little worry and that everything went smoothly, it's worth the cost.

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2014 We recently got married on the Island at Pelican Lakes. It was truly the best day of my life. The staff made sure that our every need was met and the food was fantastic! The tent is simply breathtaking and we got to capture the best Colorado sunset over the lakes. \r\rI would recommend Pelican Lakes to any bride that wants to have a beautiful Colorado wedding.

I started working at Pelican Lakes in 2010 and I immediately fell in love with our Island venue. I mean where else in Colorado can you have a beach wedding? The best part about working as a coordinator is seeing everyone come together to make a wedding happen. From parents and friends to vendors and staff, there is so much love in the room. There is nothing like the feeling you get knowing that you helped make it all happen. In 2016 my husband and I hosted our wedding at Pelican and we cannot imagine doing it anywhere else.
