Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience working with Brus and the full Spruce Mountain team. They think of everything when it comes to logistics, and we didn't have to worry about a thing from the moment we showed up on wedding day until the end of the night. Our experience touring the venue a year and a half ago, coming back for the Wine & Nosh event, and doing our 30 day walk through all made the planning process so smooth and exciting for us and our families. The multiple ceremony locations are all gorgeous, and we were thrilled to be able to get married mountainside with the natural beauty of Colorado in the background. Our guests loved cocktail hour and the indoor/outdoor dinner & dancing set up. Spruce is truly a 5 star wedding venue because of its natural beauty and the organization/care the team takes in scoping out all the details, like 2 beautiful getting ready suites for the bridesmaids & groomsmen, shuttles to take guests up mountainside, and open air string lights for late night dancing. Spruce is also a popular spot that many of our vendors were familiar with, which made logistics even smoother since our bartenders, caterer, DJ, planner, and florist had all done multiple weddings at Spruce before and had great recommendations on what could work well with our vision. We hope to come back for future events and are so happy to have gotten married at Spruce!

Ragged Mountain Events was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Steve and Rhonda were in constant contact, guiding us through every step with kindness and open communication. The quality of their work was absolutely stunning - the rustic, natural beauty of the venue was the perfect backdrop for our special day. As we were their first wedding, they bent over backwards to bring in additional facilities and finish the buildings to make it a truly special experience for us. Steve and Rhonda are some of the best people we've ever had the pleasure of working with, and we are so grateful for their compassion and organization in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.
