I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. We chose the all-inclusive package, and we are so glad we did. All the vendors that Pinecrest connected us with were phenomenal, including Catering by Nikki, Sugarplum Cake Shoppe, and our DJ, AJ from Celebrity DJ. Reviewed on 25-11-2023
Renee Haspel(other)4 out of 5 Rating
Overall I'd give Pinecrest 3.5 stars. Their go to caterer, Nikki, is pretty unprofessional and not reliable. We also had a poor experience with their go to bakery in Colorado Springs and ended up no using them either. Our day of coordinator, Sean, definitely was new to the position and still learning and therefore seemed to struggle when it came to coordinating and leading the walk through and giving direction at our rehearsal. Really thankful Rochelle was around to help facilitate things or else things may not have gone as smoothly. Pinecrest itself is a beautiful location however their neighbors are testy and you are in people's front yards when walking to and from the reception and the chapel. They are well priced for the services you receive. Reviewed on 14-06-2023

We had our wedding at Pinecrest recently and it was perfect! The venue was beautiful and our day was amazing. Rochelle was super helpful with coordinating our wedding and made everything run so smooth we had no worries. We did not have to hardly worry about a thing thanks to her! All our vendors we set up through Pinecrest: our caterer, Nikkis Catering, Flintwood Floral, and Stacey's Bloomers were incredible! DJ Nate kept the party going the whole night!

Getting married at the Pinecrest was a dream! One of our concerns was how stressful wedding planning can be, and our coordinator Rochelle made the process so smooth and easy. When you book with the Pinecrest, they have a selection of vetted vendors who frequently work with them, you have a day of coordinator help go through details, and they made it very easy to stay on budget. Not to mention, the venue is absolutely gorgeous with a white washed chapel and beautiful wood reception hall. The day was everything we could've dreamed of!!! Reviewed on 22-05-2023

Mikela Tucker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2021 I cannot say enough good things about Pinecrest! You cannot beat an all-inclusive venue with customizable packages to fit any budget. To start, the Pinecrest staff has excellent communication and are very proactive, rather than reactive, in providing you with information. This removes so much stress and takes the guessing game out of planning. They are very responsive, professional, and kind. \tThe staff at Pinecrest was an absolute dream to work with. We were lucky enough to have Jessica as our day of planner and she made everything go incredibly smooth. After selecting our package, Jessica sent introduction e-mails to us introducing all of our vendors so we could set up our appointments and get the ball rolling there. They have vendors for everything and you do have the option of working with your own if you prefer. The only thing I had to get myself was hair/make-up and a photographer. It is great that the wedding planner you are assigned is involved in the whole process. Once you do the initial meetings with vendors for florals, cake, music, etc. your planner will be kept in the loop and be in charge of organizing deliveries and ensuring everything is good to go. This takes the stress of organizing vendors off your plate and really allows you to just enjoy the process of creating your dream day. The other thing I really like about Pinecrest is that we paid everything directly to Pinecrest and they dealt with creating the budget per head with each vendor and delivering payments. Jessica made our day run so smoothly and was quick to fix any issues that arose (and if anything did arise I never knew). \tFinally, this venue is stunning. We received endless compliments on how beautiful and private the location was. The natural Colorado beauty is breathtaking, the chapel is beautiful (they also have an outdoor ceremony option), and the reception hall is gorgeous. The best part is that it is all right there. Plus, they have a spacious bridal and groom lounge for all of your getting-ready plans. The other awesome part of this venue is all the decor they have. The only thing that we needed to provide was our guestbook, candles for the vases, and sparklers for our send-off.\tOverall, I canât imagine having our wedding at any other venue. The value you receive from this venue is unmatched and the experience alone of working with this group was so worth it. Thank you for an amazing wedding day! Reviewed on 25-10-2021

Amber has a flare for design, so the decorations (included in the price) were amazing and definitely Pinterest worthy!!!! Amber's attention to detail and her team meant that I had little to do on the day of the wedding, relieving me a lot of stress! The venue is straight out of a fairy tale and so picturesque!!! There isn't one thing I would have changed - and that is saying a lot for a wedding! The ceremony and reception hall were so beautiful, especially with the renovations! Every single one of the vendors they recommended were exceptional as well and so great to work with!! We highly recommend Pinecrest!!!! Reviewed on 17-02-2020
Brittany Hardy(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-01-2020 We couldn't be happier with our daughter's beautiful wedding at Pinecrest Weddings and Event Center last weekend. The new owners and their team were amazing because they were easy to work with and very helpful. The newly renovated chapel, bridal suite, and groom's room were spectacular. Our guests were very complimentary of Pinecrest, and we can't wait to see the pictures from that magical day. We are especially excited to see the pictures with the beautiful snow covered trees behind the chapel. Renting The Lodge across the street for two nights allowed us to spend time with family and friends, just steps away from the chapel and event center. Reviewed on 13-01-2020
Emily Collins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 I couldn't be more happy about my experience working with The Historic Pinecrest. As a caveat, my husband and I only used the reception space because we got married at a different chapel. We decided on the Historic Pinecrest primarily because it was such beautiful space that was cost-effective and we could bring our own alcohol and food! Most reception venues require you to buy from their caterer or bar, which are typically very expensive, but this allowed us to find our own caterer and buy our own beer, wine, and mixed drink ingredients. This meant we had more $$$ for the beginning of our new life together!The venue itself requires very little decoration because they already have Christmas lights set up around the venue and it's a beautiful log-cabin type building. It feels very Colorado, which is exactly what I was looking for :) Because the reception venue is a large open space, it's very versatile for any kinds of activities you have planned. We had stations for a photo booth, cornhole outside, the cake, appetizers, a buffet, coffee, and an open bar. They also have a kitchen for plated service and their A/V system can be used for reception musicians or a playlist on your phone or computer. They do require you to use one of their approved bartenders if you do an open bar (just so they can monitor guests' intoxication levels), but the bartender's fee was really affordable and he was great to work with. The staff were also AMAZING to work with. They were very flexible to work within our budget, and since we didn't have a wedding coordinator, they volunteered to do many things like dismissing the tables for food, helping decorate the venue, helping our photo booth photographer get set up, etc. They've done a LOT of wedding receptions, so they gave great tips on how to set up the room, what linens to use (they have their own linen providers who were also very cost-effective), and much more. I couldn't recommend this venue and staff more. 5 stars! Reviewed on 05-11-2018
Matthew Erickson(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2018 The manager of the property was super helpful both before and on the day of the wedding!

Rebecca Noll(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 We loved having our wedding here! The venue was beautiful and rustic. The staff was INCREDIBLY helpful and very great to work with. Both the chapel and the event center are on the same property and there is a lodge available as well. Sound systems, linnen options, preferred vender relationship and much more are available and helpful. The grounds aren't very expansive, so outdoor pictures might be slightly limited, but pictures in front of the chapel and inside the chapel are very nice. My fiancĂŠ and I just had a First Look elsewhere to get the epic photos I was hoping for, so no big deal. Traffic in the area gets pretty bad, so letting guests know to arrive early is helpful! There is plenty of parking on the property. It can also be slightly tricky to find, but with a few signs, it's easy to direct guests to the right location. Overall a beautiful choice. Don't regret anything. Reviewed on 17-09-2018
Megan Sefcovic(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 The Pinecrest was beautiful and Maria was so helpful and kind that it really made the whole process a lot less hectic. My theme was Enchanted Forest and I don't think there is a better venue out there for this theme! It is right in the middle its own forest, right at the base of the mountain. The venue itself is perfect for a very elegant or a rustic wedding. Simply beautiful! Reviewed on 23-05-2018
Ally Kiefer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-04-2018 Beautiful rustic Colorado space! We used them for our wedding reception and could not have gone with a better option. The space is just so beautiful and really doesn't require much decorating. We had about 150 people at our wedding and there was ample space for a dance floor, photo booth, cornhole, buffet, cake table, and bar. I primarily worked with Linda and she is just great. They are very responsive and very good about coordinating everything down to the smallest details. We also rented out the lodge for our guests. That place is also beautiful and was a great space to host the rehearsal dinner and an after-party. Reviewed on 13-04-2018

Lauren Balbin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2017 We loved this venue!! We also rented the lodge and the whole bridal party and both families were able to stay together in the lodge. It was great to have family all together the night before. The venue was clean and so pretty. Linda was great and easy to work with. The best part about this venue is that we were able to include or exclude anything we wanted (within reason). We did not want to include drinks or catering and this venue did not make us like others did. We truly got to make the wedding ours and make it unique instead of cookie cutter like other venues who make you use their caterers and other vendors. For the price, I think that we got the best deal around and I would suggest this venue to anyone in the future. Reviewed on 01-09-2017
Katelyn Bowman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2017 Linda and Maria were amazing!!!

Abegail Jones(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-03-2017 This venue was absolutely amazing and beautiful! Everything about it was so perfect. I live in Washington, so my sister met up for all of my appointments and Linda was wonderful and did everything possible to accommodate for me living in a different state. We got the lodge and it was huge. We had ~120 guests come to our wedding, so the lodge had ample space for quite a lot of people. They also allowed our two dogs to be a part of our wedding. The only downside was that they weren't allowed to stay in the lodge with us due to precious mishaps, but they did allow us to bring our own trailer and park it in the driveway for our dogs to say. This venue is the perfect location for a wedding and the staff was also just as perfect at doing their job and making everyone feel special. Reviewed on 29-03-2017
Michael Dziedzic(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2016 The Pinecrest Event Center is exactly what the reviews say it is. This venue along with the staff were such a pleasure to work with from day one! I strongly disagree with the \"$$$-Expensive\" because of the 12+ venues we had looked at this was significantly more affordable and that was including the cost of the on site lodge for 2-nights. Maria and Linda were extremely patient and helpful for my wife and I, and in the end we had the greatest night of our lives. The Ceremony, Reception and Lodge are all within 100 yards of one another which made things so much easier for all of our guests. The high vaulted ceilings really added to the character of the site and the woodwork is outstanding. You are able to get the mountain feel of Colorado without the drive or cost. The team was so pleasant to work with and I could not have asked for anything more! Reviewed on 28-06-2016
Olivia Schorer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-09-2014 A mountain wedding without the price or the drive. Lodge is a great addition and an excellent place for welcome party and after party. The caterer was amazing - people asked if I spent 100 dollars a person when it was close to 30!!! Venue is spacious and fun. The chapel and reception hall are beautiful and come with some decorations which is great for the budget and takes some stress off! They made our day perfect. Reviewed on 29-10-2014
Becky Frawley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2014 Pinecrest is absolutely beautiful! Not only that, but their deal as an all inclusive venue is practically unbeatable. Our coordinator Lisa did everything she could to make our day as special as possible. Their staff is so helpful, and my mother in law had nothing but positive things to say about them. They are extremely easy to get in touch with!! I don't think I ever waited more than two days for a response from an email or phone call. Pinecrest made our wedding planning so easy! Since I was student teaching in a different state at the time, that was so helpful. They really were fantastic! I would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking to get married!

Julia Steadham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2013 Maria, Jess and the team are truly amazing! I couldn't have wished for a more stress free wedding! Everyone is laid back yet professional. And they have everything covered! Ceremony site: indoors or out, and if you choose outside you have the chapel reserved and decorated for you as an indoor option just in case. this is Colorado after all :D Reception site: everything is included! Tables, chairs, linens, dĂŠcor, set up and clean up. Plus bartenders, a DJ and photographers! They even have a beautiful lodge you can rent for yourselves, your wedding party and out of town guest or whoever! \rYou pay one price for all of this and they break it down into payments so its even easier! For the things they don't supply, they have venders they work closely with. Nikki is their chosen caterer, she is Amazing and SO easy to work with!! \rPinecrest makes the day flow so smoothly and so easily!

Maureen Frank(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2012 A chapel, a reception hall, and a lodge all in one place - I cannot recommend The Historic Pinecrest highly enough! They did an incredible job with my wedding. I got married there this summer and everything ran so smoothly. Jess, Maria, and Nikki are so helpful and friendly they feel like family! One of my favorite things tho is how flexible they are. Unlike many places that insist that you use their catering, cake, etc, at Pinecrest you can put together any combo of their services and your own. If you do use their catering and photography (which I also recommend!) you get a discount on the facility. But even if you use their catering, you can bring extra appetizers if you'd like, or add in other things that are special to you. Maria is the chapel coordinator and will also help coordinate all your other details. I didn't feel like I needed to hire another coordinator, everything was taken care of by Jess and Maria!\r\rIf you have never been to Palmer Lake, go visit! Even tho it's close to I-25 (which makes it easy to get to), you can't see the highway from town and it feels like you are secluded in the peace and quiet of a little mountain town. Unlike a little mountain town, getting married here won't cost you a fortune! Pinecrest is beautiful and fit for a wedding, but without being too fancy. The reception hall is open and mountain-lodge style, with a beautiful stone fireplace. It can hold 250 people; we had about 170 and yes, there was room for more. They have a wide assortment of centerpieces that you can use or combine with your own ideas.\r\rThere is also a lodge on-site that you can rent for family or friends to stay at. This is perfect for family who want to spend time together before and after the wedding, it was like a reunion cabin! We also had our rehearsal dinner there - crammed 80 people inside because it was raining but you could easily fit a smaller group for a lovely, low-stress rehearsal dinner. Also, it was perfect for my grandparents to stay right on site. It's would work well too for families with kids who might need to leave early or might forget something.\r\rMy wedding was just as wonderful as I had dreamed it would be, and big thanks go to the Pinecrest crew for making that happen!

Koryn Kessler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2011 The Historic Pinecrest is the perfect Colorado wedding destination! Maria is incredible to work with and puts any bride's mind to ease as she effortlessly handles the ceremony and transitions with complete grace. Jess does an impeccable job with pictures and making sure that every person who attends the wedding is seen at some point throughout the night. He also does wonders with capturing the moment and moments that a bride never wants to forget. Nikki and her team do amazing things with food, so that everyone remembers the entree or entrees of the evening. She even will work with any food allergies that you may have concerns with so that your event goes off without a hitch. Eric was our DJ and made sure that the event ran smoothly and more importantly, that everyone had a great time! He was creative, charismatic and genuinely cared about how the wedding night went.
