Incredible!

Black Canyon Inn was a wonderful place to get married and they worked incredibly hard to make my day special. Our experience with Black Canyon was excellent. Corinne was informative, quick to reply to any initial inquiries and a pleasure to book with. My coordinator, well, there just isn’t enough time, space or words to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Terisa. I could not have asked for a better individual to help with my day! If you cooperate with Terisa and get her the information she asks for, this woman will WORK for you. This wedding is your ship and when you hire Terisa, she is there to help you run it, and run it she WILL. She calls you 2 weeks before the wedding day to go over things and help make a timeline, she makes sure all guests are seated before you start the ceremony, she helps with the processional timing, has drinks waiting for you directly after the ceremony and that’s just a few examples. She truly goes above and beyond. I told her when I wanted my guests seated in the reception hall and when I wanted the food being served and you best believe she made it happen. She responded to my emails within 24 hours – except for maybe one that was over a weekend. You’re in exceptional hands with this staff.

The catering staff is simply wonderful! They made sure my husband and I were taken care of, checked in with us periodically, was super sweet to our guests and even joined in on a dance. All the staff there was just so incredibly sweet and happy and it only added to an amazing reception. Also, every single vendor I booked attested to how amazing the food was here and they were NOT wrong. I had guests coming up to me all night and raving about the food! I have never had food that good at a wedding before and every guest echoed the same sentiment. 99% of our guests were from states away and spent a lot of money to celebrate our special day with us, so it was important to us to give them a great time, free drinks and good food. Black Canyon catering did not let us down!

They even have things set up that regardless of rain, snow or shine, your wedding can proceed with minimal interruption. Plus - this view is hard to beat!!!

Most beautiful venue, most incredible team

The Boulders at Black Canyon Inn is perfect, we love the view and ambiance, we love the team there, and we couldn't be happier that we chose to have our wedding in this beautiful place. We cannot say enough good things about this venue and the team there! One thing everyone says about our wedding is how much they loved the view - it is truly unlike anything else. We were initially very nervous about finding a venue - there are SO many incredible options in Colorado and so many factors to consider. The Boulders at Black Canyon Inn was our first tour, and we fell in love with it immediately. It checked all of our boxes. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Haley was our coordinator and she was a dream to work with. She was incredibly communicative, detail-oriented, and thorough. She made sure we got all of our questions answered and overall just made the experience really fun with her positive and encouraging demeanor. I am so thankful also because she worked really well with our other vendors to get everything set up perfectly. The food and drinks were delicious, and all of our guests loved them. Another great thing about having your wedding at The Boulders is that there are 14 gorgeous suites right across the parking lot, and a bunch of even bigger condo options right down the hill. This made it incredibly easy for us to setup all of our stuff and go back and forth as needed to our rooms in the days leading up to the wedding. There are so many details that go into pulling off a wedding, some big things and a lot of really little things that come together to make it beautiful. I don't know how they did it, but the BCI team pulled it all together seamlessly and beautifully. I don't know many people who can say their wedding day went off without a single hitch, but ours did, and it was in large part due to Haley and the incredible team at BCI.

Fantastic Wedding Venue in Estes Park, Colorado!

Black Canyon was the perfect place for our wedding! It was absolutely beautiful, and the staff were fantastic! We had our ceremony under the pavilion, and the reception took place at the Homestead. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Also, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. You will not regret choosing BCI as your wedding venue! Amber S was a great coordinator and helped to make our day beautiful and special. Thank you BCI for making our day perfect!
