Deer Creek Valley Ranch Est. 2011
Bailey, Colorado, United States
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!"
