    Would get married here again ;)

    My husband and I have always been a big fan of wineries and doing wine tasting date nights. This place was beautiful and one of the more service inclusive and budget friendly options we found. They also allowed us to buy our own alcohol and bring it which was a great money saver. They provided our food, bartender, some decor (mostly draping), chairs tables glassware dishes and linens, a bridal suite and venue day of coordinator to help with set up of chairs and venue owned items. Mattie and Katy were the event coordinators and were both super informative and helpful when I would call on a random week day with questions. I think we got a great deal compared to other places and we are happy with how everything turned out. There was one odd little thing with our meals. We had a plated dinner that worked out to about 50.00 per person. When we had some people cancel after final numbers I wanted to see if we would be able to take the food we paid for to go so that we could enjoy it as dinner the next day at our airbnb since we paid for it. While I was told its not something they usually do they did make an exception and box it up for us. I just really hated the idea of $200 worth of food going to waste so we took two meals and we gave my parents the other two who said they were delicious. From our tasting to the night of the dinner the food didn’t taste 100% the same but I saw they got a new chef and think that might have been what the difference as. It was still very good. They did amazing with our request to box up the left over cake for guests to take as favors. The surrounding areas are not very cute but they do their best to cover all of the construction like equipment around them.

    Perfect Wedding, Perfect Hosts

    Incredibly professional and experienced staff. They made our day absolutely perfect, for a very reasonable price. Maddie and Katie helped make every idea a reality, and made every penny worth it.

    Outstanding

    Balistreri was everything we could have ever asked for. Katy and Mattie were so helpful in the planning and booking process and the day ran so smoothly. The food is incredible, our entire family raved about it. We could decorate the place however we wanted. It turned out amazing. We’d highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

    We cannot recommend Balistreri enough. The space is gorgeous on its own and needs minimal decor, but the fact that the venue provides centerpiece flowers and tea lights made it extra easy on us. Our guests absolutely RAVED about the delicious food and we loved that we could bring in our own alcohol and after-dinner snacks. The staff is incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. Also all of our guests were easily able to use ride share apps to get home safely from the venue. Overall, it's a perfect wedding venue for an amazing value.

    Wonderful wedding venue!

    We held our wedding at Balistreri in March of 2023 and loved the experience from start to finish!

    From before we even booked, Mattie and Katie worked with us to explain all of our options, pricing, details, choices, etc. They were always responsive and happy to work with us to customize any options they presented.

    Knowing Colorado weather in March, we loved that they gave the option of indoor and outdoor spaces so we wouldn’t have to be locked into one or the other. We also loved that both spaces are beautiful as-is, and didn’t require much additional decor for the look we were trying to achieve.

    On the day-of, all of the venue staff worked to create a beautiful, seamless event. The food was delicious (the most common feedback from guests!) and everything was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you Balistreri team!

    Wonderful winery venue

    What a great place! We had our wedding reception here, for 90 guests. Perfect size. Their very helpful coordinator, Katy, took care of everything. The food was amazing and service was impeccable. And the space is beautiful.

    Perfect Venue!

    We loved our experience with Balistreri Vineyards and their staff. The food is incredible (in-house chef/staff/kitchen) and accommodated our breakfast for dinner request. The tables/chairs/linens were all included and the space is beautiful- open, airy, light and gorgeous plants & mood lighting. The event staff (Katy/Mattie) were so helpful and great communicators. We highly recommend this venue!

    Beautiful, thoughtful venue

    Our wedding turned out even better than we had hoped or imagined, and Balisteri is a large reason for this! The aspects that stuck out the most: 1) The food - I think most people have low expectations for wedding food, but as their own restaurant, Balisteri makes incredible, delicious food. We had the charcuterie table for cocktail hour, which I would totally recommend - it was beautifully arranged and, of course, delicious. 2) The ability to purchase our own alcohol saved us a lot of money and allowed us to thoughfully choose the exact beverages and brands that we like. 3) Note that this venue is located in an industrial part of town. That said, this venue is very pretty and fit our vibe perfectly! The high ceilings, warm wood interior, outdoor string lights, and foliage both inside and out make this a beautiful wedding venue. It made our wedding feel very intimidate yet elevated at the same time.

    Best venue in the Denver area!

    I couldn’t imagine our wedding at another venue. Working with Balistreri from day one was a pleasure! Mattie and Katy are extremely organized, communicative and easy going. They break everything down so it’s easy to understand and plan your big day. Then on the day of, the whole staff working the event were so kind and hospitable. We had one child at our wedding who is a picky eater and didn’t want to eat the food on our menu. The staff whipped up a small plate of pasta specifically for her that she loved. On top of just being nice people to work with, the food was fantastic! I can not recommend booking Balistreri enough for your big day.

    Perfect place

    After 2 years of reschedules we finally had our wedding and Balistreri was so helpful and accommodating with us in making it happen. Mattie and Lauren are the best people and made the whole process easy and less stressful for us. The venue is gorgeous, the food is amazing and all around the experience and vibe of this place is everything anyone could hope for. Balistreri may seem limited in picture locations but it really is just the right amount, you have the outdoor courtyard/wedding ceremony area, the main reception space with a beautiful staircase, the front bar as well as my favorite spot the cellar where all the wine barrels are stored. They have outdoor lights strung along the place that give off a very romantic feel.

    Our wedding was in Nov but due to abnormal weather they were able to have the glass garage doors to the venue open, our guest were able to mingle and have fun inside and outside.

    For the price you get all the essentials needed to host a wedding, they don’t nickle and dime you like other vendors where you have to pay extra for plates, napkins, utensils etc. They provide all this and allow you some customizations. They also can provide their own decor or you can bring your own.

    Overall highly recommend, we will definitely be back for date nights here and have some amazing wine and lunch!

    Balistreri Vineyards's reply:

    Thank you so much Caley! No one deserved that perfect November weather more than you and Jason. After years of waiting, your wedding was absolutely perfect. Every detail, down to cutting the cake with a lightsaber highlighted your relationship and love for each other. Thank you for letting us host your wedding and we are over the moon that it was everything you wanted!

    Only good things to say

    We loved our wedding at Balistreri. They were so accommodating in letting us reschedule our wedding, and it was 100% worth the wait. Our guests are still raving about the food, the wine, and how beautiful the venue was. If you’re considering getting married in Denver, Balistreri is a hidden gem!

    Balistreri is the most gorgeous venue for events of ALL sizes. Seriously, it's the perfect winery venue for 30 or 300 guests!

    My husband and I hosted a vow renewal ceremony at Balistreri in July, 2021 and we have nothing but good things to say about them. We worked with them for over 2 years (event was pushed due to COVID) and the coordinators were always helpful & responsive during that time.
    On the day of, we noted that even without the centerpieces & decor we brought the venue would've been exquisite! Despite being in kind of an industrial neighborhood of Denver, Balistreri is effortlessly beautiful and you & your guests will forget where you are as soon as you park.
    The food was absolutely amazing and loved by everyone. Half of our menu was vegan, which was a challenge they gladly accepted and executed to perfection. Vegans & omnivores alike loved the selection.
    Obviously their wine & sangria was to die for, that's a given, but if you're thinking about using them, schedule a meeting and a wine tasting and see for yourself! You won't be disappointed.

    Balistreri Vineyards's reply:

    Thank you guys so much for your wonderful review! You two were so patient and deserved the wedding of your dreams. I am so happy that you loved your experience here, and we can't wait to see you around the winery!

    Incredible venue!

    My husband and I cannot say enough nice things about Balistreri Vineyards. We just had our wedding there and we are so thankful we chose this venue. The staff is fantastic, the owners were so involved and so kind, and the venue itself was beautiful. Everyone was so accommodating and really went above and beyond to make our large wedding party comfortable. It was also a very clean and safe environment to have a COVID wedding. All of our guests had the best time and we got glowing reviews on the staff, food, decor, and entire experience. Also, our wedding coordinators, Mattie and Lauren, were so helpful, prompt, thorough, and just genuinely wonderful people to be around. It also goes without saying that the wine is fantastic. :)

    Perfect, relaxed venue!

    We had our wedding at Balistreri in September and it was AMAZING! Balistreri is a hidden gem and was the perfect venue for us. Both the ballroom and the outdoor area were gorgeous, and the food provided by Balistreri was delicious! We served Balistreri's white sangria during the ceremony/cocktail hour and it was definitely a crowd-pleaser, as was the other Balistreri wine we served. The staff at Balistreri is very relaxed and accommodating, and really allowed us to make our day what we wanted. Huge shout out to Lauren and Mattie who were very easy to work with, responsive, and extremely helpful in coordinating everything for us! We have had numerous guests tell us that this was one of the best weddings they have attended, which can be largely attributed to this great venue.

    Perfect venue

    Balistreri is not only a great winery but they are also a great venue. They have incredibly caring and professional staff. It ended up snowing on our wedding day so our plans to use their outside space changed and we ended up having to move everything inside. They were upfront, and communicated with me right away. They also made sure to still carry my vision of our wedding inside.

    Beautiful, flexible, affordable Denver venue

    I had nearly given up on finding a reception venue (they do ceremonies too) for our wedding that was in our budget, fit our needs, and matched my vision for our wedding. After 2 years(!) of looking at east Colorado venues, I stumbled onto Balisteri. Dream come true, indoor AND outdoor space. The whole venue is dedicated to your event. The best food you could ask for (seriously, we go there to eat now). You pick your vendors outside the food, you can provide your own alcohol and/or buy from them. Incredibly responsive team, even when their coordinator stepped down after 10 years, there was no drop in service. NO HIDDEN FEES EVER! They let us set up during the day and helped with clean up. You won't regret booking with them!

    Must Have Wedding Venue!

    We had our wedding here at Balistreri on June 19th, 2021. Unfortunately, we had to push our wedding from June 2020 but Balistreri made it so easy and they were so kind. We loved our experience with Balistreri from the moment we walked in. The event coordinators were always so communicative and there were no hidden fees. You can tell that this place is family owned because they make you feel like you are apart of their family. The venue is beautiful, the food and wine are beyond amazing, and everyone could not stop talking about how great of a time they had. I am so appreciative and cannot thank you all enough for making our day so amazing and easy.

    Balistreri Vineyards's reply:

    Hi Jessie!

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that your wedding day was everything that you wanted it to be! After everything with COVID, the both of you deserved a fairytale ending. Please come visit when you can, and enjoy married life!

    We did extensive google searches and combed through wedding websites looking for our venue. We consider ourselves lucky we stumbled upon Balistreri Vineyards.
    Jessica was our event coordinator and from the first time we spoke with her we knew Balistreri would be our venue. She was kind, accommodating, and very down to earth. Throughout our visits to the venue including the day of the ceremony we met several members of the staff as well as members of the family who own Balistreri. All were incredibly kind and very welcoming.
    As is the case for almost every couple, budget was a concern for our wedding. Balistreri allows you to bring in food from an outside caterer but we elected to have Balistreri cater the food. Jessica and her staff asked what our budget was and put together a menu based on our budget, rather than other places who required we make our budget fit their menus and pricing. We feel like we got a steal on our menu. Not only did they come in slightly under the budget we provided but the food was amazing. We had many of our guests talking for weeks after the event about how delicious the food was and how many of the passed appetizers they ate!
    As a winery, Balistreri obviously makes their own wine, and it is high quality. We strongly recommend the cherry wine, we ended up serving it during our reception and the guests loved it. In addition to their wine, Balistreri allows you to bring in your own outside alcohol, which was a huge cost saver.
    True to Colorado form, it was snowing the day before our April wedding so Jessica discussed with us at length alternate setup plans. She allowed us to make a game day decision for an indoor vs outdoor option and planned it out in such detail that we did not worry. The weather ended up being beautiful and we were able to hold the ceremony outdoors but either location would have been just what we wanted! Looking back, we cannot imagine hosting our wedding at any other venue. It was amazing!

    This venue was so unique and absolutely perfect! We were supposed to have our wedding ceremony outside but it ended up raining so at the last minute had to move it inside.. Jessica and the rest of the staff were so helpful with everything and made sure it was perfect! I could not have been more happy with this venue, even with the rain, the whole day turned out so amazing! Their chef makes the most amazing food (people are still raving about it!) The wine cellar was the perfect place for pictures too, they turned out so cool ! If you get a chance to stop here, even if its just for a tour or to try the wines and food, you wont be disappointed!

    The staff was wonderful and very helpful with every detail. The food was amazing and delicious. I would highly recommend using this venue for any event. The cost was also very reasonable for the service, food, professional, etc that we received.

    The Balistreri family and their entire organization are simply the best! You get tailored service, friendly atmosphere, delicious food and wine all in a beautiful setting. I could not have hoped for our first annual client appreciation party to have gone any better all thanks to Balistreri Vineyards!
