Willow Vale is an incredible venue if you are looking for something personal, versatile and picturesque! A quaint little spot under large willow trees and surrounded by mountains- It could not have been a more perfect setting for our wedding! Lori was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with all of my questions. We loved that we could stay on site on all weekend in the cute cabins and the flexibility within the venue for locations of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. She also had a lot of decor, tables and cutlery to utilize as well which was an amazing plus (one less thing to worry about). Our guests (who are frequent wedding go-ers at this point) couldn't stop raving about the unpredicted beauty of Willow Vale and the Westcliffe area and plan to return. We truly can't recommend Lori and her team at Willow Vale enough! Ps- the stars at night are incredible, I only wish I could place a picture with this review!

Our barn was originally built in 1861 in Northern Indiana.

Our wedding barn is ideal for couples looking to frame their memorable event with the simple beauty of the outdoors and the vintage charm of an old barn. We offer an intimate space for your guests for your ceremony and reception. Our 1890’s 11 acre property is an active farm complete with honey bees, growing hops, hay pastures and more. We are located on the Arkansas River. Our gorgeous views of the 13,000 foot Twin Sister peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range are the perfect backdrop for your I Do’s.

We had an incredible experience at Howard Creek Farm. The team was kind, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process, making everything feel effortless. Their beautiful spaces and gracious support truly made our day unforgettable. The natural beauty of the venue is stunning, but what really stands out is how caring and detail-oriented the staff is. If you’re looking for a venue with charm, elegance, and exceptional service, I highly recommend Howard Creek Farm!

Marchand Ranch Weddings & Events Venue provided an exceptional experience for our wedding. Their communication was personal, quick, and very supportive throughout the planning process. Any ideas you have, they will work to make it happen! The Something Borrowed shed was incredible and helped so much in the planning process and decor. It is an amazing addition. The venue itself had a beautiful rustic barn setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The huge sliding doors made the reception so fun with an indoor/outdoor dance floor. My mother is in a wheelchair and had no issues getting in and out of the venue nor any issues with parking. The venue comes with a day of coordinator, the highway was closed that morning and I didn't have to worry about communicating with my vendors at all and everything was taken care of! Tiffany and the whole team really help your vision come to life and you can really personalize the space to fit your decor and guests. They do not nickle and dime you for chairs and table cloths, a lot of places can't say the same!! I would highly recommend Marchand Ranch to any couple looking for a breathtaking, mountain inspired wedding venue where you can let your creativity fly and bring in outside vendors of your choice, which helps being budget friendly! You are right up against the mountains, without the cost of those insane mountain venues. I wish I could have a wedding there every weekend!
