We had really been struggling to find an officiant who would write an custom ceremony that was feminist, non-religious, but reverent. Jen came highly recommended by our photographer (also, fabulous) and I am so grateful I found her. The ceremony she wrote was *chef's kiss* perfect with lighthearted moments and beautiful reflections on life. She worked with us to create the ceremony and you could absolutely tell in almost everything she wrote. We also used her help and worksheet for writing vows. I think this made both my partner and I much more comfortable with what we wrote, and much less likely to procrastinate. I highly recommend this. Not only was her script beautiful, but her presentation of said script, and presence alone was perfect. I am so glad to have met her and had her be part of our wedding. She truly made the day as well as helped set the tone for our future.

The reception hall in the basement is also decorated beautifully on it's own and the tent they provided for dinner was so perfect! Everything went exceptionally well after they came in at the last minute! We are so appreciative! Thank you!! I'd highly recommend it!

Weddings I'm sure are amazing, but for a celebration of life/memorial.....it was extremely helpful to deal with such genuine people. You feel their positive presence the moment you meet both of them.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic quotes from Helen Schucman and Eckhart Tolle and other spiritual teachers I resonate with. Nice music. A meditation at the beginning. And, just overall, a teaching that felt right and make sense. There was a real positive energy in the place. But the pastor ruined it for me. Jack Groverland is not the right person for these teachings, which are about ego-less-ness and the oneness of all people and love. His ego bowled me over. He is quite impressed with himself, as demonstrated by this weirdly staged moment where he said "there is a flaw in The Course in Miracles, do you know what it is? Put a note on my desk if you think you know" then he takes out a note that was obviously prepared (because who would ever leave a note on a pastor's desk) where someone took a guess, then he negated the guess on stage. It would have been rude if I thought it was real. This song and dance seemed designed to show everyone in the congregation how smart he is (smart enough to find a flaw in a known spiritual work) and how he must know something we mere seekers do not. (Even though the teachings clearly state that truth is unknowable, beyond the human mind.) Then he showed photos of him with a well-known personality. Like he was showing us how "important" he was. This was cringe-worthy. Despite the good parts, I haven't returned. Maybe if they get a pastor that embodies the teachings more fully, I'd consider coming back.

We chose Wedgewood in January 2021 for our October 1, 2022, wedding with 100+ guests. Kayla was our amazing wedding coordinator and she made everything so simple for us. Every detail we asked for came with a "yes" answer. She had wonderful recommendations for us and she and the entire staff worked with all my ideas - no matter how "different" they were. In fact, we made a last-minute request for a late-night charcuterie board and the chef jumped in to make it happen - and it was spectacular! In fact all of the food was incredible! Our friends and family are all still talking about how it was the best food they'd ever had at an event or wedding. The planning phase was simple, organized, thorough, and extremely professional. I'm very much a "Type-A" person, and this one one of the few times in my life I was able to sit back and trust that others would get it right - would see my vision and run with it. Wedgewood was super accommodating to the vendors I chose to bring in for ceremony music (string quartet), florist, pastry chef/wedding cake and groom's cake, marquee letters, favors, balloons, and other extra touches. Day of - everything ran smoothly! Kayla and Mo were so kind, kept us updated and ready for the next part of the agenda...and kept us well-fed and hydrated! We only had one small hiccup during the reception (with availability of certain liquor we expected to have) - but Kayla went out of her way to make it right for us. I absolutely understand that things can happen, but it's how the team responds that makes the difference and the lasting impression. Kayla is exceptional! I highly recommend the Elite package (it's definitely worth it!), the "grand sparkler moment" at the reception grand entrance, the tortellini, the s'mores bar, a late-night snack, Wedgewood's preferred photographer - Tina Joiner, their preferred DJ - DJ Maestro, and their photo-booth option - Untamed Smiles. My favorite part of the process was Kayla's enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. It made me feel so confident that I was making all the right choices...and that my ideas weren't too crazy (having a sketch artist for our guests, we "buried the bourbon" on the property a month in advance for good weather... and dug it up on our wedding day, etc.). She was all for it and I truly appreciated her excitement for our traditions and ideas. Wedgewood is the Gold Standard in wedding venues! Without any hesitation, Highly Recommend!

Surrounded by a lovely garden, the interior of the barn/reception hall/Quonset hut was surprisingly stark and awkwardly decorated with gaudy gold cherubs and wishing wells. This was my only complaint about the venue. The farm owner talked to my party about the history of his farm and it's future development, and the chef socialized with us before dinner was served. The table was set with an endearing assortment of mismatched chargers, plates and flatware and the chef could tell the story of how he personally sourced each. The meal was served family-style: great wide bowls of freshly snipped salad greens and flowers were so thinly veiled by simple vinaigrette that the sweetness of the greens, pepper of the flowers, licorice of the fennel and snap of the stems was the star. Bread served, sourced at a nearby bakery was fresh and perfect to sop up every speck of the thick orangey Romesco sauce that held the grilled eggplant dressed with crunchy breadcrumbs in place. Roasted fingerling potatoes, slightly charred and addictively creamy almost played second fiddle to those seductive eggplant slices. Finally, wedges of an apple tart, dressed with cheddar cheese crisps and a dollop of sour cream was tasty, but did not seem to appeal to the group as it might in a more regionally amicable setting like cheesehead Wisconsin or the eastern seaboard. All in all, a simple, unfussy venue for a small wedding or a group event. The scenery and service could not be friendlier if a bit unrefined. I do hope more book this place in the future!
