Located just 45 minutes from Denver, DCVR offers several outdoor ceremony sites to choose from. Whether it is a majestic mountain backdrop, or a sweeping valley with horses, or an intimate circle of boulders and pine trees, one is sure to suit your taste. And don’t worry, they have indoor back up as well!

Guests can enjoy cocktail hour while playing lawn games, and offer toasts as you dance under the market lights by a huge custom fireplace (they have two for you to choose from).

The historic reception Barn, with the Ultimate Man Cave, is the perfect place to give your guests an authentic Colorado experience they will never forget, or opt for the elegance of the Homestead tent with timelessly elegant draped fabric with starlight curtains and glittering chandeliers.

DCVR also offers overnight on-site accommodations for up to 20 guests. Customize the day to be uniquely yours. Simple vendor options make planning the party easy. Optional in-house financing makes planning the party affordable.

Inside Scoop

Owners, Tim and Christian, started this Venue as inspired by their own amazing Love Story.
Tim proposed to Christian just 14 days after they first met.  She said "Yes!" and they married just 6 weeks later.  They still celebrate their anniversary every single month and are living proof that "True Love" can happen - and it can LAST!
This is why they turned their Ranch into a Wedding Venue, for other couples to celebrate the culmination of their True Love Story with the family and friends they hold so dear.
Since it's inception, this Venue has supported many local and global charities.  The more weddings are celebrated at this Venue, the more the Venue is able to support those in need around the world.  Like the owners say "Thanks for helping us make the world a better place - one wedding at a time!"
