Blackstone Rivers Ranch is an out of this world venue! It was magnificent. It was our first venue to tour and our last because we really didn't want to go to any other venue. It was love at first sight. Cheryl gave us the tour at Blackstone Rivers Ranch, she has a beautiful soul as did everyone who works for this venue. Each one of them were so kind and helpful. This venue has years of experience and a preferred list of vendors that make this process much easier and more relaxed as they work so well together (and as a bride you feel comfortable and confident that everything will go well). This is very important working as a team to create such a special day for two people.
None of our family or invited friends knew about this place. We had guests from Minnesota, Mexico, California, Spain, Colombia, Panama, and other countries. We knew that they were making a huge sacrifice to be here on our special day. The time for the wedding arrived and when our guests arrived at Blackstone Rivers Ranch they were stunned and delighted, our guests did not stop commenting that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. We had compliments about the venue, catering, DJ, coordinator, photographer, EVERYTHING from our guests.
As a bride I was afraid of having the same problem as the other brides, who always had some complaint or something that did not go the way they wanted on their special day, BUT NO I was not one of those brides (YAY)! My wedding was the best and the most perfect thanks to Blackstone Rivers Ranch and their list of preferred vendors. Without the help of BRR my wedding would not have been possible to plan as perfectly. Every penny invested in this wedding was worth it to the fullest. My husband and I are more than sure that it was the best decision we have ever made in having a big wedding with 100 guests and not a small wedding with only 15 or 20 guests.
My guests fell in love with our wedding and the venue and they couldn't stop talking about it. They all told us that it was worth the sacrifice they made to travel from far away to experience the beautiful views of the mountains and the river at the venue, the big and beautiful white tent. EVERYTHING was romantic and unique.
My husband and I will always be grateful to BRR, our words and gratitude will not be enough for the enormous satisfaction and happiness we had on our...
Read moreOur dream Colorado Mountain venue!! We booked a petite wedding on May 8th 2025 and could not be more happy that we chose Blackstone Rivers Ranch. We did all of our planning from out of state which made venue selection a tough decision. The second we found Blackstone online we knew it was the one. The pictures online are so beautiful and it’s even more impressive in person. It is all around a stunning venue. We wanted an intimate venue setting and that’s exactly what you get. From the sounds of the creek next to the ceremony site to the stunning trees, the impressive tent for reception area to the main building that houses bathrooms and suites, and the twinkling lights in just the right places, there is not an area of this venue that we were not absolutely in love with. This venue is very versatile could absolutely accommodate any style of wedding a couple desires and is beautiful any time of the year.
Not only does this venue impress with its appearance, It also comes with one amazing staff. From the day we started our research to the day of our event the Blackstone Staff was nothing short of kindness, organization, knowledge and professionalism. They made the booking and planning process so smooth. We had every single question answered in an extremely timely manner. They were absolutely accommodating and willing to work with us upon any request, special need or circumstance. Wendy was our day of coordinator and we would love to give her special recognition. As spring is unpredictable in Colorado we did end up with some snow on the day of the wedding. Wendy went out of her way to personally pick me (the bride) up where our party bus dropped us off and drive me down to the bridal suites so I did not have to get my shoes, dress and veil wet/dirty before the ceremony. I wanted to thank her again for that gesture and let her know how much it meant to me. We know the entire staff moved mountains to get the venue ready for our day after the unexpected weather.
We could write so many good things about this venue, but we will stop here. This venue clearly strives for an excellence that was very clear and appreciated by us. We will be forever grateful for this staff and venue for making our day so special and unforgettable. We are trying to think of another event to have so they can host us again!
Love Cory and...
Read moreWe 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...
