PROs: ++ The backdrop for the ceremony was lovely! With the large doors open the mountains made a gorgeous backdrop. ++ McC Ranch is just far enough to get away but not so far as to make the journey inconvenient. ++ Knowing that the space may be cold to some of us; they provided light blankets on each of the chairs to help keep the guests comfortable. CONs: -- The parking area isn't paved; in fact it isn't even really gravel. That being said it was a muddy mess to navigate. My Tori Birch flats are still caked with mud. -- The men's restroom is on the main floor of the space while the women's is upstairs. Just a weird layout to me. -- The space the ceremony/reception was held in was quite cold. Even with light blankets and an infrared heater running throughout most of the event! I'm not sure what other offerings McC Ranch has to offer, but I can say it's easily and "A-OK" wedding venue.

We were offered to hold a "Get out and Vote" rally for a local school board election…read more Weeks prior, the manager of the Garden Room offered their venue to hold the event and confirmed the day and time. After advertising the event on social media, we arrived on the day of the event to set things up and the owner of the Garden Room told us to leave. We introduced ourselves and offered our hand for a handshake and he ignored it. We told the owner we had booked his venue with his manager. The owner said, "Well, They Didn't approve it with me!" and told us to leave. We had a friendly event planned and invited the opposition to attend. We found out later the owner has strong political views toward the ultra right and supports the opposition who wants to destroy public education by selling out our public schools for profit. Regardless of his political views, his manager scheduled his venue for this rally and the owner did not honor it on the day we were to hold it. Buyer beware. You cannot trust your event to be held here. Disgraceful!

There is a negative review regarding a "Get out and Vote" rally and I just want to say that the…read moreevent not happening that day was completely my fault as I didn't follow protocol to get it approved with the owner. Also there was absolutely no charge for this event at all. I am so incredibly sorry for the inconvenience it caused everyone that day. It's my knowledge that the event still happened just east of the venue so that attendees could still participate even if it wasn't as planned :( I no longer work at The Garden Room but I can say it's a wonderful venue with a tremendous staff and you will not be disappointed. Please don't let this one event that did not go well because of my actions ruin your future interest and bookings of this venue. *Please note that politics and the views of anyone affiliated with The Garden Room had nothing to do with the event not occurring at the venue it was solely my mess up that caused the inconvenience that day.

Plenty of room for 100 people, including a small dance floor. Sound system needs some work, we got blasted every time it was turned on. We were not so impressed with the staff. We got there for a wedding reception, but the staff said we were early. Fine. We hung out outside in the beautiful weather. 90 minutes later, the Bride arrives and is shocked to see the entire wedding standing outside. Apparently some communication had been missed as to when the guests would be allowed in. The event planner definitely didn't make an effort to blend in during the reception, we saw her tinkering with the sound system all night long, and most of the night there was no music. I hope this was just a fluke.

I tried calling Dorothy the morning of the wedding with some questions and to confirm last minute details, yet never heard back from her. When I saw her at the wedding reception, she acted busy and not concerned with my questions. She brushed me off, responded annoyingly to me saying she doesn't have a cell phone and was doing a wedding that morning. I'm sorry, but you cannot be in catering and NOT have a cell phone. It was 2012 at the time. She had a bad attitude and was incredibly snappy with me. I was an extension of the customer and her customer service was lacking. Her food was okay at best. The wedding had around 70 guests and they couldn't keep up, which I've had dinner parties for that many and I've kept up. She and her staff arrived looking incredibly frumpy with oversized sweatshirts over black pants & white tops. She also puts a 5x7 portrait advertising herself and a huge, unattractive frame advertising at the wedding. I would highly suggest looking elsewhere for your catering needs.

Sara and crew at The Big Red Barn were just THE BEST. They waited on us hand and foot, and when I…read moresay "Waited on us", I don't mean they asked us what we needed. Sara and Sam just magically appeared like magical Genies at every step with drinks in hand, plates of food in front of us, and confirmation that it was good to move to the next steps along the way. They coordinated with our other vendors beautifully, and deservedly have an outstanding reputation with other vendors in the area such as DJs and caterers. Sara met with us in person and checked in over phone and email regularly, and was always responsive to questions. There was never ANY doubt about timing, pricing, or planning. Sara was accommodating with every request that we had and bent over backward to make our dream wedding happen (under budget!!). I would rate them ten stars if I could. They exceeded expectations at every turn.

They have been in business so long, yet there are few reviews? That says something!…read moreMy direct knowledge is that Northern Colorado Catering has HUGE turnover as they exploit their Staff, hire poorly, and have constant conflicting directives from the owners. They play the "checks in the mail" game with employees, and as you can see below, have failed clients in the past by disappearing. The food is decent, but the vans they use to transport the food are filthy, non-refrigerated and the Staff is told to pack the leftover food from events for later use. Do yourself a favor for YOUR event, trust in a REAL service that provides a fair and professional experience for both the client and the employees.

The party started early evening, so we were able to do some mini golf as well as some day drinking in the lounge/bar area. We also were able to use the big yard to play some yard games. When it got dark a DJ was set up and bumping music the fire pit got lit the hot tub got kicking. It seemed unreal it was beautiful! Being here felt like being at home kicking back with the boys, it felt homey like I have lived there my whole life and grew up there. It was a very pleasing experience. The location is perfect because we were able to make a quick run to walmart, which is across the street! Overall this has been the best Venue I have been to and the owner I believe Spencer was his name was a really attentive guy and very helpful getting this together for my buddy! I would recommend this place to anyone having a party, wedding or event of any kind. Oh and I did see they had a kids area but this was an adult party so no kiddos but I would definitely do a family gathering here with my family because it's a safe clean enclosed place!
