I attended a wedding at this venue last year. I was in awe of its beauty, the decor, the sound of the water, and then I heard the staff, the management in fact. I heard them speaking poorly of another professional, mocking them, making fun of them, and I caught eye contact with her and even still, she did not stop. I recently saw a post they made of another professional and I just cant sit here and say nothing. We live in a world where people are at their core-kind and good. We all want to matter, and when we are at weddings we are reminded of this. But when the callous nature of a human is mindless on who they are speaking in front of, is just harmful and cruel, we have to stop and turn to one another and simply ask, "please just be nice." Blackstone, your desire to put people in their places when you so clearly are unsure of your own is so sad and disheartening. I know this review will mean little to most, because people come to you for the beauty, and you have some really incredible staff that work for you, who are afraid to say anything to your bullying mentality and behavior. I wish you peace, hope you change, and pray no one else is the recipient of your bullying.

Blackstone is an incredible venue, with a stunning outdoor setting and the most helpful staff. Our wedding was in September and every time we talk to our guests they rave about our venue to us and we personally cannot say enough about how wonderful this venue is. The perfect setting for a mountain wedding! We LOVED Blackstone Rivers Ranch.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch is simply an amazing venue, especially if you are planning a Fall wedding. The property has all of the natural beauty one could want at a mountain venue. The property is maintained immaculately by the staff there, the vibes are high with the lighting, the mountain side bar, fire pits and the reception tent. Oh and the creek running right through the property really adds a nice, calming touch. The attention to detail can be seen everywhere on the property, including in the lodge. The venue just has a very warm and welcoming feeling, and our guests had nothing but great things to say about their experience. If you have guests coming from out of town into Denver, and want a mountain wedding close to the city so it's easy for folks to get to, this venue is it! The staff at Blackstone was also super helpful, communicative and collaborative during the entire planning process and of course on our big day! If you are looking for an intimate, scenic venue in the Rocky Mountains, look no further than Blackstone Rivers Ranch!

Our wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch was truly a dream come true! The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and the venue itself was absolutely stunning. Every guest was amazed by how beautiful it was, from the elegant setup to the breathtaking mountain views. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue that will leave a lasting impression!

Black Stone Rivers Ranch was our dream venue! From the day we toured the venue everyone was so welcoming and the grounds were beautiful (even in the snow)!! It was always my dream to have a tented mountain reception and Blackstone delivered and went beyond!
Most our guests were from out of town and everyone was blown away by the beauty of the space. Looking at the photos I can't believe that the wedding is mine!
Planning with Blackstone was so easy well, they provided amazing and trustworthy vendors, as well as work with us for our needs and made sure that our wedding turned out the way we wanted.
I wish I could get married at BRR every single day!!

We wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. Everyone was very helpfull, and welcomed us with open arms as we approached the biggest day of our lives.
We got married on September 22nd 2024.
Our wedding was an absolute dream come true! We spent countless days planning it, but nothing compared to actually living it with all of our closest friends and family. Blackstone Rivers Ranch was the most perfect venue, from the colorful aspen trees to the river flowing through it. We couldn’t imagine our wedding anywhere else. We look forward to renewing our vows here someday!

We had our wedding here in September 2024 and it was the most incredible venue. Obviously this place is beautiful, but so are the people. They are helpful, responsive, proactive, kind, patient, all the things a stressed bride and groom need. If you are thinking about booking this venue, you will not regret it.

Our September 2024 wedding was at Blackstone Rivers Ranch, and it was a dream come true! As soon as we toured the property, we knew the wedding had to be here. We found it to be the perfect, accessible distance from Denver and Golden while still being up in the mountains. The staff were friendly, attentive, and detail oriented. We loved the amenities in the lodge building paired with the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and tented reception area. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more!

Worked an event here and the venue itself is beautiful. Working with Relish is an absolute joy! Anyone would be blessed to hold an event here, especially one as special as a wedding.

Blackstone is a dream. My cousin got married here 7 years ago, and I couldn’t find anything I loved more so I followed suit. It had a lot of sentimental connections for us, and the staff was so great to work with and had everything covered. Can’t recommend enough!

An incredible venue near Idaho Springs. We had a wedding there that was the best.

While the venue was beautiful, the staff were rude, and even dishonest with us. Cheryl and Nadine made the whole process much more complicated and stressful than necessary, and they lied to us about their "policy" that we are required to pay the vendors (which you can only choose from an approved list) to feed all the staff totalling 15 people. As you can imagine, that's a lot of money when it comes to getting food catered. We spoke to the owner (who was very kind and helpful) and in her words, she "had never heard of that policy". Some of our hired vendors also stated that they would never work with Blackstone again after dealing with Cheryl and Nadine. Not to mention, the venue itself was already very expensive, they also only allow you to use their alcohol and their bartenders, and if you want something that isn't on their bar menu, it's going to set you back hundreds of dollars. The staff the night of our wedding looked miserable, like they didn't want to be there, and we even had issues with one of them telling our family friend that was taking pictures for us that "vendors aren't allowed to drink", and we even caught pictures of her giving us dirty looks. Overall, while I was very impressed with how beautiful the location was, the customer service was less than subpar, which is very disappointing considering we spent close to $15,000 total at this place. If I were to do it over, I'd pick another venue with less restrictions and more integrity.
