    KristinaAug 20

    Snow Mountain Ranch was the best venue for our wedding. We reserved a family reunion cabin for our family to stay on-site all weekend, while our friends booked rooms at the lodges, and everyone was able to participate in summer camp activities. A highlight was the tubing hill and the waterfall hike! We also reserved the Mountain Air Cookout Shelter for the reception, and we were able to choose our own caterers. We opted for a pizza truck and a paella chef, and they were a big hit! The shelter was perfectly rustic and had a mountain vibe with excellent views, and SMR provided lawn games outside during our cocktail hour. We were also happy that we could bring our dogs to the reception, and they had a fun time too. There was also a fire pit at the reception site, so we lit a campfire when it got cold after dark. SMR also put us in touch with a local bartender and DJ, Marcie, who knew the venue well and kept the drinks flowing and the dance floor packed all night. The event coordinator, Stephanie, was very communicative throughout the planning process, and I think that everything went perfectly!

    The YMCA of the Rockies - Snow Mountain Ranch was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was very good throughout the entire process, from our initial inquiry to the day of the event. Stephanie, the wedding coordinator, was amazing and ensured we had all the information we needed from start to finish. The venue itself offered affordable prices and beautiful natural settings that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Snow Mountain Ranch to any couple looking for a gorgeous and budget-friendly wedding location.

    I'm the wedding planner, and my group had the best week ever here! It was exactly what they wanted... adventure, togetherness and mountain views. Check in was smooth, we had the use of the reception room all day and night so set up was easy, the ceremony mountain views were beautiful.... everyone was so helpful. I will definitely bring another group here.
