Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely highly recommend Della Terra Mountain Chateau! From the moment we arrived, the team made our dream wedding come to life in every possible way. Thanks to their meticulous planning, our day flowed effortlessly, allowing my husband and I to simply enjoy the celebration without any worries. Special shoutout to Rachel and Cayce for orchestrating the day. The Della Terra team was friendly, professional, and so much fun! They even joined in on the fun by taking pictures in our photo booth, showing just how invested they were in making our experience perfect. It felt like they truly wanted everything to go exactly as we envisioned. The venue itself is breathtaking. The atmosphere is incredibly romantic and elegant, which fit the tone of our wedding day perfectly. The beauty of the venue provided the ideal setting, and the views of the mountains were a stunning backdrop for both our ceremony and photos. The food was absolutely divine! We couldn't get enough of the chicken and Brussels sprouts, but every dish we tasted was equally amazing. We were so impressed by the quality of the meal and the variety offered. Getting ready was a breeze thanks to the spacious salon, which easily accommodated our bridal party of seven. The guys loved their time in the theater area with its projector screen and comfortable recliners. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort and experience. Della Terra Mountain Chateau’s gazebo entrance for the bride was the perfect dramatic touch, and it really wowed everyone. The mountain views behind the venue made for breathtaking photos we will cherish forever. Overall, our experience was flawless, and we truly can’t recommend this venue enough. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, stress-free wedding day, Della Terra is the place to go!

As a planner, I've worked at Taharaa quite a few times. It's always such a pleasure. The venue is easy to get around, easy to work in, beautiful to decorate and has an amazing view. I love the food. My clients are always happy here. And because you buy out the restaurant, even if you chooses the outdoor pergola to get married in, you have a rain back up plan, which is vital in Estes Park. Highly recommend.

We had a Welcome Dinner here the night before our son's wedding in August 2024 - total of about 120 people. From start to finish - this was an extremely positive experience! Tonya was so helpful and easy to work with. This venue was PERFECT for what we were looking for - The location was convenient and the scenery from the patio was amazing! I would absolutely recommend Tonya and the Estes Valley Rec Center for any type of gathering at all.

Why Is Estes Park Perfect for Your Mountain Wedding?

December through February typically sees fewer bookings if you're looking for date flexibility while summer weddings treat you to stunning wildflower blooms across alpine meadows.
