They take care of finding everything (catering,photographer,cake) and make sure everyone is talking to you and things are going the way you want them to and making sure you're happy the entire time. Waiting to marry my best friend was the hardest part, we could not have picked a better venue to host our August 7th 2021 wedding. Thank you thank you thank you !!! P.S. Rhoda, my flowers, omg I loved them so much!

Such a unique place for a wedding! I have attended several weddings here and have not been…read moredisappointed. I love that there is a lake close by and the outdoor area is perfect for the dance floor. They have Bristol Beer on tap and a cool fun bar area. They have packages that include the caterer, DJ, cake and photograph which is perfect for anyone that doesn't have all the time in the world to arrange them! I know they also have painting classes that I plan to attend very soon!

Spruce Mountain was the wedding venue of our dreams! A perfect blend of Colorado nature and…read moreelegance, it truly made our day so special. All of our guests kept asking how we found the place they were so in awe! The team dedicated to weddings were all so incredibly helpful and kind. Anyone would be lucky to get married here!

Poor customer service This is not a good place to do…read morebusiness with! Not refunding during pandemic! When they originally told my sister they would be sending out refund checks. She called when she never received hers a month later (also they refused to call her back and chose the cowards way of emailing a predetermined message) heand they told her they won't be refunding because she did not cancel on the 3 month window. Yet they claim to be "caring and understanding" during this difficult time. They are still operating as if only they matter. They won't let her reschedule for this year without paying more because they only care about money! This place lied and has the worst customer service

Very unprofessional business. We had our wedding in October 2020 and was misinformed and lied to…read moreabout multiple things. First we were told that the deposit for $500 would not even be charged until after the event and only if there was damage done but that was a lie, we had to pay before the event through the city website/ 3rd party and were not told that until the last minute. Also we were told that as long as there was no snow, that they would turn on the water stream under the bridge and there was no snow but they were lazy and didn't want to turn it on. We were also told that someone from the Lodge would be there to with knowledge of how to assist setting up the 2 TVS to play music videos via youtube but the lady had no idea how to work anything and we only got to use 1 TV and we had to figure out how to broadcast it. Not to mention that our time slot was from 12am-12pm and they were over an hour late!!! Ummmm, you guys knew what day our event was months in advance, we paid thousands of dollars for our time and you were over an hour late?!? Which means we had to rush everything and didn't get to set up in the amount of time promised as if getting married isn't stressful enough, you guys just added unnecessary stress. Also, the lady from the Lodge there took pictures and said it was going to be put online without asking any type of permission to do so. Do not do business with these people, if so just be aware that they lie and might be late. We eventually got our deposit back after constantly calling for weeks, and didn't get it until the end of Dec.

Our youth camp was held at Ponderosa Retreat & Conference this past summer. The building we were in…read morewas a decent size, we had the boys stay on the first floor and the girls stayed on the second floor. The beds are very firm and uncomfortable. The showers and water temperature was fine. They provided window fans to help with air flow and it did help keep it cool in the evening. Many of our youth complained about the quality of food. I thought the food was ok. The best part about our experience was the glow in the dark dodge ball session. Staff was nice and came around once a day to take care of trash.

I stayed here with a church group a few weekends ago and was impressed with the property, food,…read moreservices, and overall price. Ponderosa is set in a beautiful location, tucked away behind a smaller mountain, but is easy and quick to get to from I-70. The food was definitely a step above usual camp food, and the facilities are up-to-date, comfortable, and easily accessible.

Our experience with Hearth House has been nothing short of amazing. They've gone out of their way…read moreat every possible opportunity to help make our wedding day a dream, extending far beyond what I'd ever expect a venue to assist with! We wanted an upscale looking wedding at an affordable, all inclusive price and that's exactly what we've found here. Our friends RAVE about the venue. We'd choose to get married here 1000x over. What other venues include floral and dessert credits?! Linens you don't have to rent! Gorgeous centerpiece decor available for use at no extra cost! The list goes on and on. In particular, I want to call out Jess, who was our venue tour guide. Our experience with her is a big part of the reason we booked this venue. You know when a person just gives you a GOOD feeling? She made us feel at home, like it was just the RIGHT place for us. She's also proven to be incredibly efficient, a prompt and excellent communicator, and uncompromising on ensuring we're taken care of even though when we booked, it was a full 18 months before our wedding! She gave us the attention and care we'd only expect if our wedding was next month! Ps. Please note that the only negative reviews about this place were during COVID. It was the Wild West back then, and everyone was just doing their best. We have experienced an extremely transparent booking and contract process, with clear language around refunds or rescheduling.

I can't say enough great things about the Hearth House Venue in Monument, CO…read more I've attended several events at Hearth House, including weddings, receptions, and non-profit fundraisers, and can't believe the value each of the Hearth House clientele received for their money. Renting a facility for your event can be a costly endeavor. But, Hearth House provides a beautiful location, at a rate that won't break the bank, making your event more enjoyable knowing you won't have to skimp elsewhere to provide your guests an exceptional experience. Not only is the venue beautiful, but their staff is professional as well as friendly - a combination that can be hard to find these days. Not afraid to get their hands dirty, you'll find the staff able and willing to help from the moment you take a tour, to the day of your event. If you're a skeptic, like I am sometimes, don't take my word for it. Take a tour and you'll see everything I said above is absolutely true. The next time I plan an event, you can bet I'll be holding it at Hearth House.

Not knocking on your gorgeous and very spacial land, the venue was good, but you can do so much…read moremore. I also got food poisoning from the food catering; roast beef, chicken, and not sure what the other meat was maybe turkey were undercooked and dry. PROs: - Easy to find - Isolated venue location - Clean, gorgeous, easily to go venture around and not get lost; not so overwhelming. - Though it's on your personal cattle ranch it was not overwhelming with cattle manure smell. - Photography on the side for everyone to leave a memory book for the couple; a plus. CONS: - While waiting to start the whole ceremony the building we stood around in had no AC on so had to open doors or step outside to allow the wind to cooldown; that was for everyone. - Wedding planner or venue manager was demanding, but unease when it came to answer things; felt rushed to get it all over with. - Table set up and arrangement could've been way better. Should've used that whole back door for the location of the Wedding Group instead of cutting straight down. Seats for children and the guest were all over the place. Assigned seats weren't honored. Especially when it came to KEY POINTS like: 1) Cutting of the cake, everyone either had to stand and get into other peoples way to see that happened. No special table set up to do it at just the regular serving table. That's very sad like. 2) Already mentioned the seating arrangement for the Wedding Group was straight down the middle blocking a better potential dance floor & the ability for everyone to see the cake cutting and other parts for the ceremony. 3) Catering location provided a traffic jam and confusing of where the line started and ended. Again, doors had to get propped open bc there was no AC only ceiling fans. Can't add the DJ and Photography personnel to this bc well I wasn't to sure if they provided them too. I asked, couldn't get a straight answer nor did I want to bother the couple abt it all. Overall, I wouldn't pay the price they asked for the weak set up and ceremony arrangements.

All of these positive reviews are true, unfortunately there is bad news…read morethat should be strongly considered... We were told the venue was 35 minutes from Park Meadows mall. NO. One hour and 10 minutes under the best of circumstances from P.M. The route on I-25 is down to 2 small lanes with cement wall dividers, which is harrowing with semi-trucks everywhere. So, please consider the many people that must drive down and home in the dark after they have been drinking and are probably very tired. We tried to book a room in Monument or Larkspur (there really aren't any), rooms 25 minutes south in Co. Springs 250. per night Brides-to-be Think of your guests& BEST WISHES!!!
