Not only does The Barn have all the charm you're looking for, but their team is absolutely incredible at helping plan your perfect day. Don't take it from me, ask any of the vendors and they'll also tell you The Barn is their favorite venue. The food is amazing and they're happy to work with any dietary preferences. They offer multiple ceremony sites with backup plans should Colorado's weather get in the way. And they deliver a top notch day. The Barn is also VERY affordable, even for smaller weddings. Ours was 50 people and came in under budget even with a top shelf open bar and elevated menu. Seriously, this place cannot be beat. The day exceeded our expectations thanks to our coordinator Tayler and the entire staff at The Barn. It was absolutely perfect.

Broken into three sections: Self serve meat, fruits, salmon, potatoes, etc Waffle, omelette bar Self serve desserts Drinks included (Alcohol drinks for an additional price) Great atmosphere, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had come in prior to the event to introduce ourselves due to having our (oversized) service dog. Isa had made special arrangements for a larger table to accommodate us. Much appreciated. This is a place we will be returning to for many occasions. Highly recommend.

Nestled in the neighborhood of Highlands Ranch, lies the famous Highlands Ranch Manion!…read more I'd heard the lore around this mansion but had yet to visit it until recently! This estate is really popular for weddings and local events - around Halloween, Christmas/Holiday season and spring - but also allows visitors daily, for free guided tours! The mansion itself is HUGE, ornately decorated and fun to explore! The history of the property is documented on the walls and throughtou the space, but I recommend a tour! My husband and I went to a recent paranormal event - featuring a local business who specialized in ghost hunting. It was a little cheesy at times, but exploring the mansion, on our own, at night, in the dark, proved to be a spooky experience - especially after learning about the lives lived and deaths at the mansion. Perfect ghost territory! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and able to provide excellent education around the mansion and on those who lived inside. Definitely a must see in the burbs!

We arrived and were immediately greeted by Paul. He asked if we were there for guided tour at 1:00,…read morenot knowing when we could arrive we didn't reserve a guided tour. NOT A PROBLEM. Paul introduced us to Janan and with a warm and welcoming smile she introduced herself and asked if we were ready for a tour. The history that she shared and the way she delivered the information was very engaging and informative. The history within the castle is something you really need to experience, explore and enjoy. The entire volunteer team that we met were so motivated about sharing the story of the castle and those that lived within it. So if you want an awesome experience and some great Colorado history then you would be well advised to make a trip to Highlands Ranch Mansion.

My brides maid toured the venue for me and told me she thought it would be a great place for our party. The day before the party we got the tour and we were blown away by how much there was to see! The staff helped with getting the food set up, the cake and all the decorations we brought. This was the perfect party and I had amazing feedback from all of my guests. I want a party here every year now! Made to order ice cream sundaes, our thumb drive of pictures rotating video on all the tv's, Alexa playing our preferred music, and pinball machines made my event outstanding.

WHAT IS THIS PLACE???…read more Recently invited to my friend Max's 80th Birthday Party, I found myself navigated to a storage unit in Highlands Ranch wondering WTF? Upon entering, OMG! This isn't storage wars. This storage unit us a GIANT LAIR, two stories, FULL of American Memorabiia! And what great place to have a birthday party! There are a dozen or so classic cars with tail fins, dozens of antique arcade games, lots of Elvis, a soda fountain, juke boxes, a miniature train! This is amazing! From what I understand it is held by Charter Financial and is opened only for Charity functions and private functions, so was I ever lucky! COOL BEANS, DADDIO!

We used two rooms only!!! Do NOT trust! BEWARE!! Horrible to work with! They were extremely unflexible with the time and there is very limited parking available.

We toured a number of Denver-area venues when we were getting started with the planning, and Ashley…read moreRidge stood out to both of us immediately. We absolutely loved the location, with gorgeous mountain views in the background, and we were also in love with the ambiance and décor, which had a kind of modern luxe feel to it with an absolutely stunning crystal chandelier in the entry, beautiful recessed LED lighting in the ceilings, and large two story floor to ceiling windows in the ballroom. We also both appreciated the very up front pricing breakdown we were provided after touring. It's a bit hard to get a true "all-in" price from some venues, and we've heard of other family members who got bills at the end of their weddings which they weren't necessarily expecting, so having a clear all-in price up front was definitely appreciated while we were planning. The catering was seriously impressive. Both of us loved all of the food, from the appetizers to the mains. This hasn't always been my experience at other weddings - I've had to choke down my share of overcooked chicken or fairly basic cheese and cracker appetizers at other events. Quite a few people mentioned how good the food was; the prime rib carving station in particular was a very big hit! The quality of the catering really added a lot to the overall atmosphere. We absolutely loved having a dedicated day-of coordinator and banquet captain! Calypso was a delight to work with in the planning stages, was very proactive about checking in with us to make sure things were on schedule and very responsive to any questions we had as we were planning out the day! She was extremely organized and efficient in coordinating everything on the day of; we honestly didn't have to do any setup or coordination or problem-solving at all on the big day. We both felt very well taken care of, the whole thing just flowed with an efficiency that looked almost effortless somehow. We brought a pretty substantial amount of our own decorations to give the whole thing a personal touch, and they even broke all of those down and packed them up for us so we could just grab them early the next morning, which was an entirely unexpected but much appreciated little touch that freed us up from having to do any teardown after the wedding! Wedgewoods all in one packages took a lot of the stress out of vendor selection for other services too. We got to print lovely invites and save the dates through their stationary website, got an excellent DJ included in our package, worked with photographers who were familiar with the venue and had shot a number of weddings there (which makes a noticeable difference in the efficiency of getting all your posed shots done after the ceremony), got an excellent baker to do our cake, and got a wonderful florist to do centerpieces, bouquets, and an arch installation. Having quality vendors who have worked this venue before really contributed to a seamless flow on wedding day, and we were in love with the work all of them did, so we greatly enjoyed having all of those vendors included in our package from the get-go! Honestly, having planned a wedding this way, I'm struggling to imagine doing it any other way now. I don't really see how it could be possible for the planning and execution to be any more seamless. Several of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever attended; easy to write that off as maybe just a nice thing for a guest to say, but it honestly seemed pretty sincere, and we got that feedback from more than a couple of people. The whole thing ran like a well-oiled machine and I think people really noticed that. A big thanks to the team at Ashley Ridge! It was exactly the day we wanted, we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out!!

Wedgewood Weddings is terrible to work with. I submitted an inquiry on the Wedgewood Wedding…read morewebsite with the date we needed and the location we wanted. They reached out via text, via email, going back and forth 15+ times to schedule a tour. I cleared my calendar. Only to find out the date is not free at the location we wanted. Like... Wedgewood Weddings had this information! Why did we waste both of our times to plan when, had they read or been able to see my inquiry, we would have realized right away it wouldn't work? Even the back and forth to pick a date for the tour was impossible. For example, I said no Wednesdays. What did they suggest? A Wednesday! This was so frustrating and I wouldn't recommend working with them.

Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.
