Beautiful space! Lovely owners! What's not to like? We would emphatically suggest this venue to any wedding couple. Having such a charming and mountainesque locale... with beautiful Fort Collins nearby was just perfect for us. Plenty of lodging and things to do for visitors and not too far to travel for any Denver folks. Highly recommend!

My wife and I got married at Rist Canyon in September 2023 and it was amazing! Allan and Emily were responsive, friendly, professional and organized, and the venue itself is beautiful with plenty of space (we had about 75 guests). The farmhouse was perfect for the bridal party to get together in. It ended up raining on our wedding day but they had towels and umbrellas for the guests ready to go for us to still hold the ceremony outside. They were quick to move our cocktail hour inside and couldn't have responded to the situation better. We were stressed about it but everything went as smooth as it could have! I didn't even notice most of the logistical things that were happening around me because it was all so smooth and unobtrusive. It stopped raining eventually so everyone could enjoy the outside grounds, which are beautiful. We were going for a bit of a \"mountain vibe\" but wanted a location that was easily accessible for our guests, and RCI was perfect (most guests stayed in Ft Collins). Their preferred vendor list also helped us in deciding on other vendors, and the day of coordinator they set us up with was AMAZING and we ended up hiring her as a full-on wedding planner. (shout-out to Dana!) All in all, a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, RCI! (Also worth noting that they are very LGBT-friendly!)

Rist Canyon was the perfect place to get married and I wish I could relive the day over and over again. Everything was so seamless, the coordinators they work with are awesome, the main house/bridal suite was so much fun to stay in the night before, cleanup at the end of the night was so quick. I have nothing but amazing things to say about it!

Rist Canyon was everything we wanted for our intimate day. The venue is spectacular, the owners are kind and professional, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to get married. It was amazing to have the whole property for the day and the in door out door feel was exactly what we were hoping for. Our guests were able to seamlessly go from inside the reception hall to plying lawn games outside. We truly loved Rist Canyon!

Rist Canyon Inn was the most beautiful, amazing venue we could have asked for. Allan and Emily (owners) were incredibly helpful and ensure that our wedding went smoothly. The property was well taken care of and each location at the venue was amazing. We stayed the night the night before and had an amazing stay at the Farmhouse.

This is the best venue ever! We had such an incredible experience working with Allen and Emily. They really made us feel special and we're so accommodating of everything. The venue is beautiful and the ceremony pasture is breath taking. It's also super convenient that we were able to get ready, host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in the same location yet each area felt distinct and fresh from the other. 10/10 highly recommend!

This place is magical. I did a LOT of research before choosing Rist Canyon Inn, and there is simply no better venue for an indoor/outdoor wedding in Northern Colorado. The owners of the property are wonderful, generous, attentive people who were a joy to work with. Their wedding coordinator, Amie, was a lifesaver about seventy different times throughout the planning process and day-of. The venue itself is breathtaking: it's the perfect balance of natural wild beauty and subtle elegant touches. I loved that it didn't feel cookie-cutter or like a packaged deal; we got to make it our own and truly feel like the space was ours. I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect place for such an unforgettable day.

My husband and I got married at Rist Canyon on 5/29/22. We had toured 3 total venues before COVID hit, and once we were unable to tour any more due to the pandemic, we decided we didn't need to! We had such a great experience with Emily and Allan from the start - they really made us feel at home.The venue itself is a stunner, with a simple ceremony backdrop against the foothills, charming spaces to get ready, and a gorgeous and thoughtfully designed reception hall. We loved the indoor/outdoor vibe of RCI and that it was rustic without being over the top. Another perk was getting to hire our own vendors, even though we did choose multiple vendors from RCI's preferred list. The sound restrictions at the venue were a bit of a bummer for us because we couldn't have a live band that would give us the experience we wanted (no percussion), but we understand this is from the perspective of being a good neighbor and still had a great time with our DJ. Thank you Emily and Allan!

The reception hall is inviting and modern with the perfect lighting. The grounds are open, serene, and uplifting. The property and its owners literally ooze warmth and love.Rist Canyon Inn and its owners, Allan and Emily, are more than we could have ever asked for or expected out of a venue. They allowed us to have the intimate, non cookie-cutter wedding we dreamed of. Allan and Emily provided us with recommended vendors that did not disappoint, worked with us to conquer hurdles that popped up during the planning process, and were responsive to all of our questions and needs. Run, don’t walk, to visit this venue. Just know that if you visit, you will not be able to say no to booking with them. The second you hit the gravel driveway you will be blown away with the overwhelming feeling that you want to move into the farmhouse. You will then meet Allan and Emily and will want to make them part of your family. Visiting is a euphoric feeling that, I can honestly say, does not go away no matter how many times you visit. This place is a dream. Working with Allan and Emily was just icing on the cake. Allan and Emily, thank you for everything!

Having Lived in Fort Collins for nearly two decades, and biking past the Rist Canyon Inn's homestead many times on the Poudre Trail, years before it became a wedding venue, sure made this lovely place so picture perfect for our June 2021 wedding. It has a creek running through it, the foothills behind it, and plenty acres for pretty backdrops around every turn. Being tucked enough off the road for no road noise to hear, its a self-contained, private, and stunning place. We could stay all in one place to have our special, less than 100-person ceremony and fun, delightful reception. And, there was plenty of room for our large wedding party - practically 20 of us - to hangout comfortably all day getting ready and leading up to the big evening. The indoor spaces and outdoor places at this venue are so aesthetically pleasing - from rustic, farmhouse, and vintage, to industrial and modern, its a beautiful blend with lush greenery, and dreamy lighting. Alan's one-of-a-kind lighting design in the event hall, and the nostalgia string lights in the lawn, made the whole atmosphere delightful. For communication, planning, and support, Alan and Emily Leibow, the owners, were only a quick email or phone call away. And, before the wedding and on the day of, Alan was very hospitable, by showing us around the grounds, sharing with us best practices learned from other couples, and being very approachable the day of for any questions; he also was a helping hand a lot of the time. Their staff is warm and welcoming, and looking back at all our photos, we sure are grateful to have been wed in such a down-to-earth, pretty, and happy place.

We absolutely do not recommend it. My wife and I were supposed to get married at Rist Canyon Inn in 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we had to postpone. Fine and out of everyone's control. I wanted to cancel, but Emily and Allan (in my opinion) spent quite a bit of time and energy convincing my fiance to change our contract instead of canceling like we were entitled to at the time. We changed the dates to 2021 and went off. Well, then we found out that we were pregnant! Hugely exciting news. After speaking with the owner's Emily and Allan, they told us that even though we did them a huge favor by moving our date instead of canceling, they would not be returning the favor and keeping our deposit. They were entitled to this non-refundable because of the agreement we signed when we changed the dates.We asked if they rebooked the dates could we get it back. On the phone, Allan told us he needs to speak with Emily. But left the phone telling us that is reasonable.Well, what do you know? They rebooked 10/10/2021 and still refuse to give back our deposit. Instead, they're choosing to KEEP our deposit AND keep the money from the new event. Again, well within their rights due to the document we signed, which in my opinion we were pressured to sign instead of cancelling.In my opinion, this felt unethical. They are keeping our deposit and the new event fee. This is well within their right, but it is my opinion they made us feel awful for cancelling and putting them out, just to turn around and keep our money the first chance they had.We personally felt like we had a bad experience based on the owners actions. The venue is pretty, but it's also really far away and an incredible hassle to throw an event. We absolutely do not recommend this venue for your special day.

My husband and I were struggling to find a venue that we loved until we toured Rist Canyon Inn. We immediately knew this was the venue for us. The venue is stunning, the owners, Emily and Allen, are responsive and so kind, and the coordinator, Janel, is amazing. We live in the area but our entire guest list was from out of state. We received so many compliments on the venue. The lush meadow was a beautiful ceremony spot. The ladies loved getting ready in the restored farmhouse, which made a great backdrop for getting ready pictures. But the star of the show was the stunning reception hall. Allen has done incredible work with the lighting and the entire space is gorgeous. My husband and I slept in the cabin on the night of the wedding and it was so comfortable and convenient. Emily and Allen truly pay attention to every detail and it shows in the quality of this venue. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone!

We received so many compliments on the venue. The lush meadow was a beautiful ceremony spot. The ladies loved getting ready in the restored farmhouse, which made a great backdrop for getting ready pictures. But the star of the show was the stunning reception hall. Allen has done incredible work with the lighting and the entire space is gorgeous. My husband and I slept in the cabin on the night of the wedding and it was so comfortable and convenient. Emily and Allen truly pay attention to every detail and it shows in the quality of this venue. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone!

We recently got married at Rist Canyon and couldn’t be happier with our choice! The venue is beautiful; our out of town guests were blown away! We enjoyed working with Allan and Emily. They made us feel so special and were very accommodating! We used the vendors they recommended and that really helped the entire day go perfectly. We also rented the farmhouse the night before our wedding and it was a lovely place to stay, and it was so convenient to be at the venue the morning of. We highly recommend Rist Canyon and want to send a huge thank you to Allan and Emily for everything they did! Sent from my iPhone

Our wedding at Rist Canyon was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for more-- from the personal attention we received from Alan and Emily, to their incredible coordinator Janel, to the incredible beauty of the property. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and everyone was extremely supportive and accommodating. I will never forget getting ready in the farmhouse with my best friends and family, looking out the window to see everyone I loved gathered in the beautiful meadow, and walking out beneath the gorgeous skyline of the foothills. Thank you, Rist Canyon, for a perfect day!

We had our wedding at Rist Canyon Inn and the whole experience was incredible. The entire property, from inside the charming farmhouse to the open field, is beautiful. It made me feel as if I had been transported to a dreamland, which is a great feeling for your wedding day😊 I wanted to get married outside but still have private areas to get ready and have a brunch the morning of the wedding. The field, reception hall, and farmhouse offer the convenience of having everything in the same location, while still allowing you to tailor different experiences throughout the day. You can rent the farmhouse overnight, which we did, and I also highly recommend. The owners Emily and Alan perfectly merge professionalism and warmth. They make you feel like you are working with good friends that also happen to be event experts and owners of the prettiest venue around. They are easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and helpful. Our families all live far away, and we had a tight timeline, so having people like them throughout the planning process was great. They showed attention to detail to both the venue and us as clients. They have extensive knowledge about vendors and offered a special touch at every turn.

The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for; beautiful outdoor views, interment indoor setting for dinner (great lighting), good space for cocktail hour and yard games, and an overall great space for photos. Allan and Emily were also very accommodating as we had to move our date from 2020 due to Covid. They made us feel very welcome at the venue and their attention to detail throughout the entire property made a big difference for our wedding. Our wedding day was a huge success and Rist Canyon Inn was definitely a large part of that! Thank you, Allan and Emily!!

Emily and Allan were so flexible with us as we tried to decide what our wedding would look like during COVID. We ended up with around 40 guests and it was perfect. We also decided to rent the farmhouse both the night before and the night of our wedding, which really enhanced the experience, and we would recommend this to any couple planning to get married there. We were able to spend the entire day there with our bridal party and it was such a stress-free experience. Very happy with how our wedding turned out!

Rist Canyon Inn far exceeded my expectations. I have continued to receive compliments on how beautiful our wedding was. The venue is absolutely perfect for an outdoor wedding, and everyone was able to enjoy the beauty that Colorado has to offer. With cool fall evenings the indoor/outdoor space of the reception hall was perfect. Our guests got to enjoy the comfort of the indoor space with still having the views and feeling of being outdoors. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Colorado. I looked at so many venues that just throw a tent in a field and call it good. Not at Rist Canyon Inn; no detail was left unturned. The Ceremony site has beautiful views, the bridal suite and grooms quarters are wonderful. Cocktail hour has plenty of space, and reception hall is immaculate. What I loved most of all was that everything was able to be customized to my vision. Several different ceremony sites to pick from, cocktail hour could be held in different areas as well. We were given the entire site to make our wedding what we wanted. Not to mention the photographer loved all the details (air-stream trailer, wooded areas, streams, horses etc.) around the site for unique shots. The staff was so great about making all my dreams come to life for my big day. They took my ideas and made them come to life. They have great relationships with all the local vendors and helped me with planning everything along the way. They care so much about their customers, you couldn't ask for more from the owner and the coordination team. Thanks for everything!!!

Meet the RIST CANYON INN - Wedding and Celebrations Team
Not long ago, we lived in this 1896 farmhouse on twenty scenic acres, and began to feel that the natural beauty of the place would be better shared. Repurposing our site for weddings and lodging would provide a strong connection to community. The idea of rustic and refined kept coming up, so this theme became the focus. For several years, we have ruminated, designed, worked with architects and engineers, to ensure a facility built to the highest aesthetic and technical standards. Rist Canyon Inn has been an incredibly rewarding endeavor, and we look forward to sharing our property with you!
