The location is great as we both have spent quite some time at Palmer Lake. beautiful views of the mountains as it is nestled close to them. Great outdoor venue area for when it's warm and an even more beautiful chapel and reception hall. I envision our big day at Pinecrest after the tour (we toured other places but the view was the best for us). Danny was also very informative of the packages and we chose the all inclusive. Well worth it, I have to say because when it came to our big day, everything was " absolutely spectacular " and the staff were amazing and worked hard to make our day over the top amazing. Jessica was our wedding coordinator, absolutely brilliant and amazing person to make our dream wedding ( and only wedding) come true. Danny, Jessica and the whole staff at Pinecrest: we cannot thank you enough for your kindness, patience and hard work you all did for our wedding. I am beyond words of how I'm so impressed with Pinecrest and it's staff. For those that are reading, definitely have your wedding here. Such a gorgeous place with trem staff. Best wishes, Anthony and Andrea C.

Let me start by saying the venue itself is very nice that is why I am giving 3 stars. The…read moreindividual tour guide we were provided however soured our experience of this potential wedding venue. The guide was not able to provide basic information about the venue itself, to include their catering prices, the tax and service fees, and other miscellaneous info. My fiancé and I then told the guide multiple times that we intended on being married at the outside ceremony site and wished to see the location, but we were told "not today it's snowing". Tough to sell a venue when you refuse to show the customer what they want. We were very excited for this venue however the guide we given was the specific reason we did not choose this venue.

When organizing my parents surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary we researched multiple photographers and selected Jeff because his prices were so incredibly reasonable (He starts at $75.00 for 2 hours - no kidding!) and he made an effort to explain his services to us. There were no hidden costs or surprises about not being able to keep and own every picture like many photographers these days tend to do to suck more money out of you. Plus, his portfolio displays a wide range of both perfectly posed shots and tender candid shots. The day of the surprise party, he showed up on time, dressed appropriately for the fancyness of the event (I've seen wedding photogs show up in ripped jeans and tennis shoes before! C'mon, that's unacceptable!) and had an uncanny ability to make everyone who had just met him feel absolutely at ease during the experience. Jeff helped bring out our family's...how shall I say, "eccentric" personality and provided us with warm, lasting memories of that day. He graciously handled challenges, making the best of difficult situations, such as a lack of lighting at our venue towards the end, after the sun had set and displayed thoughtfulness and patience as we tried to coordinate over 30 family members in various groupings. We never felt rushed and the photos came out phenomenal since we were all so at ease, and excited to be there. He definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. One of the more subtle qualities of Jeff was how none of the guests even noticed he was there, he was so unobtrusive and stealthy yet we have pictures of everyone and everything that happened! He has this keen way of capturing the moment without being obvious or in anyone's way. He devoted so much of his time, energy and talent to making my parents 50th such a success and went far beyond our expectations. We now have so many greats pictures displayed throughout all the children's houses and to share with friends and family as well as creating family heirlooms for the little ones for the future. Thanks for the timeless memories!!! We even had some questions regarding the timing of our parent's arrival and wished to get their reactions to the surprise captured as thoroughly as possible and Jeff promptly answered all of our phone calls and emails. The day after the event Jeff provided us with all the photos on a disc and stuck around to make sure we could open and access them. We were shocked to receive them so quickly and are very happy with them. Jeff got so many ridiculously AMAZING candid shots and portraits that day, My parents could not be happier with the photos. Jeff has also done some exceptional food shots for me when I had an urgent need for my cookbook. I was at the point of telling my publisher I would have to miss a deadline but then called Jeff who fit me into his already busy schedule and was able to set up the shoot at my house. Jeff knew precisely how to angle the camera to convey the true integrity of the dishes I prepared and was able to hand me a zip drive with over 100 pictures within two hours. He also made sure that the photos were what I wanted. I love that he shows you the pictures on his camera as he's taking them to make sure you are pleased and will do a retake if you like. To say I am happy with Jeff's work is an understatement, his friendly demeanor and sincerity in pleasing his client's will keep me coming back as long as he's in business. It's remarkable that such a talented photographer doesn't have a snooty attitude, which I have has the displeasure of seeing all too often. Jeff is very humble and natural, a powerful quality in someone who is so good at what he does. Best prices you will ever find, combined with polite, thoughtful service and great pictures is what you get with Jeff. I won't hire any other photographer.

In summer, you can drive right up and park in the dozen or so spots. Winter, you park down at the gate and hoof it about a mile to the 'amp. It's worth it though! With a unique stone bench set up, it provides a view like no other in town. True to its name, sunrises are particularly beautiful. I hear you can book weddings and such here, Church services would also be nice to have here. Truly a local gem!

Phenomenal cast, venue, and the whole sort. They were talking about their next play in October and my friend and I are already waiting for the date so we can set it in the books to come up.
