Katie was absolutely amazing! she was with us from the start and made everything so special. she made sure everything was perfect from start to finish and made us feel special from the beginning. she was amazing and helped make the day even better! the food was amazing, and the scenery and venue itself is so beautiful and the day was perfect from start to finish! if you want a beautiful, rustic, fairytale Colorado wedding, this is THE place ☺️ Maggie our DJ was also amazing and was professional and knowledgeable about everything from start to finish.

I am in AWE. Number 1, having a wedding coordinator is a must. And Natalie was amazing!! She took care of everything, from planning meetings, final meetings, rehearsal, day of timing and keeping everything on track. She is marvelous. This venue is mostly all included, DJ, catering, table settings, center pieces. And I love that you can do the ceremony and reception all in once place. It has the coziest mountain feeling to it while still being extremely classy. Food tastes amazing, the DJ service is very personalized - and they help you the whole entire way. You get this giant planning book once you officially book & it really helps. Anytime we had random concerns or questions we would just email them and be contacted back within the same day. The price fully depends on how many guests you plan on having, we had a 53 person wedding and it was VERY affordable for an all included place. They also do all your day of set up including any decor you choose to provide at the rehearsal! The bridal suite is adorable!! And it’s available 2 hours prior to the ceremony. Wedgewood made the planning actually fun and enjoyable! I was stress feee the entire day! Lots of adorable places for photos too, especially in the fall with all the colors. Thank you Wedgewood for making mine and Tyler’s day PERFECT.

tl;dr The entire process was not perfect (it never is) but definitely made up for it the day of! The attention to detail was phenomenal & would recommend for anyone planning a wedding to consider this venue. Check out the *** bullet points for the highlights.

- The venue is really picturesque. We wanted an adventure / rustic mountain theme and the area definitely captured that with the mountains in the back and the cute cottages. The photographer had an abundant amount of backgrounds on the premises to utilize.
- We can't ding Wedgewood Weddings for the hiccups that occurred during the planning process as I never heard of a perfectly smooth wedding. Their process really streamlined the planning aspects & when there was requests/corrections to be made, they definitely took the feedback and fixed it!
- ***We really liked that they had vendors built into the packages, especially for a decision paralysis person like myself. We utilized the DJ, Florist, & Cake vendors (which were all wonderful!) and opted out of the photographer. The advantage is they are familiar with the space so the day of setup was seamless.
- Instead of having a single planner, you have a team of planners that pick up the meetings & questions you may have. The advantage of this is the response time is quick. The disadvantage we observed was they might not be as intimately familiar with your specific details at a given moment; however, that did NOT become a factor the day of but something to be aware of.
- Requests during the planning phases took a bit more nudging from our end for the requests to be honored. For example, they do not offer private tastings and had to insist given we were not impressed with the food offered at their quarterly preview for couples and food is our top priority. They finally did offer which helped us feel confident with our menu choices. The chef (John) also went above and beyond to take care of our guests with more particular dietary restrictions (Vegetarian, Vegan, GF, & nightshade allergy).
- ***Speaking of above and beyond, my goodness the entire staff was amazing! I know I stated that the entire process was not perfect but the day certainly was; they captured every detail we had requested, even tedious ones like tying twine & stuffing rosemary as part of the guest napkin display. A large chunk of guests had commented on how detailed & attentive everything was.
- ***They were super attentive & anticipated our needs throughout the entire day: Natalie (our banquet captain) was on a mission to find us periodically (as you bounce around everywhere) & one time, when I had asked for a water, she already had one prepared for me in her hands. Katie (our ceremony coordinator) flawlessly orchestrated the ceremony, even when more than half of our wedding party missed the dress rehearsal. I also absolutely loved the personalized congrats cards from the both of them-- I could tell they were invested in making the wedding shine.
- Max guest count for this venue is 150. We did max out and the venue felt a little congested at times, particularly during the ceremony & traditional reception events (dinner, cake cutting, etc). However, the venue was fantastic once guests could free roam as there were many places for guests to hang out.

We were incredibly impressed by the level of organization and dedication that was put into our wedding at Craftwood Peak. From the pre-wedding planning meetings to the binder we were given to fill out all of our ideas and details, everything was thoughtfully executed. I tend to be very picky and slow to make decisions, but Rachel and Alex helped me figure out my vision and were super flexible throughout the entire planning and set up process. The whimsical and cozy atmosphere of the venue was exactly what we were looking for, and Rachel, Alex, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Neither of us had to worry about anything on our special day. One of the things we loved most about booking the venue was that it came with a variety of services, including catering, DJ, bar, and some decor, which made the planning process much easier. We even got to use the cute little cottage space to get ready before leaving for the ceremony. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Craftwood Peak and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique, and stress-free wedding venue. We felt that the team at Craftwood truly cared about us and helped us achieve the wedding we envisioned.

I had an incredible experience shooting a wedding at Craftwood Peak! Rachel and Riley, the coordinators, were great to work with. From the moment I arrived, they made sure that not only myself but also my clients were taken care of.

Despite the snowy weather, Rachel and Riley went out of their way to make sure we got great photos. Their flexibility and positive attitude truly impressed me. I would love to shoot at Craftwood Peak again!

Not only were my clients and I happy with our experience, but their guests had an amazing time too. The in-house catering was delicious, and their DJ(Anneliese) had everyone on the dance floor all night long.

Craftwood Peak understands the importance of creating a memorable wedding experience. If you're looking for a venue that will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect, look no further than Craftwood Peak. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The staff made it easy, light, professional and fun all at the same time! Kayla and Katie carried the weight of the complexities of so many moving parts - their seasoned experience and creative insights ensured we had a perfect wedding and reception. Our meal was fantastic and Natalie made sure everyone was able to navigate the meal process. Riley worked his tail off during the open bar...great hustle to keep everyone served and topped off.

Our guests were extremely complimentary on the food and the attentive staff. Food was definitively better than any wedding reception food we have ever tasted. All of the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly, without any stress on the bride and groom. We will give recommendations to any of our friends that are looking for an amazing venue for their event!

Hands down the best place to have a function!

We had a lovely wedding at Craftwood Peak. Katie did a wonderful job of making sure everything flowed throughout the day and into dinner. Our banquet captain, Liam, was phenomenal and made a great night perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous and our guests all were gushing about how wonderful the venue and food were. My only real criticism was a few areas where communication was lacking, mostly regarding scheduled tastings and catering service options. But overall I wouldn't change anything about my time working with them,
