We hosted my daughter's wedding at Rist Canyon Inn and we couldn't be more pleased with the venue. The spaces at the venue are gorgeous, and there are enough spaces on the property that our guests could move though and relax in that everyone was very comfortable through the day (from seniors who needed seats to kids who wanted to play catch on the lawn). The property is beautifully maintained by the owners Allan and Emily, and they were very kind and helpful in our planning process. We received so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful venue and the way the day unfolded. Many thanks to Rist Canyon Inn for our wonderful experience!

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than Rist Canyon Inn! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were captivated by its beauty. The historic charm of the Inn, surrounded by the natural landscape of Rist Canyon, created a magical backdrop for our special day.
What truly set Rist Canyon Inn apart, though, was the incredible dedication and care shown by Allan and Emily. From start to finish, they worked to make our wedding unforgettable. Their kindness and genuine enthusiasm made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. They worked tirelessly with our planner, Taylor from Mountainside Events, to ensure every detail was thoughtfully executed, and it was clear how much they care about their couples.
On our wedding day, Allan and Emily went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Their calm and professional demeanor was key to allowing us to relax and focus on celebrating with our loved ones.
We are forever grateful to Allan and Emily for helping create the most beautiful and special day of our lives. If you’re looking for a venue that offers stunning scenery, heartfelt hospitality, and unmatched attention to detail, look no further than Rist Canyon Inn. It’s truly one of a kind!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Rist Canyon Inn! From the moment we first toured the property, we were in love! The golden pasture, charming historic inn, large old growth trees, and beautiful foothills backdrop created the most magical setting for our big day.
Emily and Alan, the owners, went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true. They are truly the kindest, most thoughtful people. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and genuine care for every couple they host made the entire planning process a breeze. They were always available to promptly answer questions and offer guidance. They helped us find a day of coordinator, Andrea who was absolutely amazing in every way and was instrumental in everything running so smoothly!
We received so many compliments from our guests on how stunning the venue was and how seamlessly the day unfolded. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with exceptional service, Rist Canyon Inn is the one. Thank you, Emily and Alan, for making our wedding day everything we envisioned and more!!

Rist Canyon Inn was the first venue tour we took after getting engaged, and nothing else compared from that very moment! RCI is truly such an serene oasis with mountain, creek, and pasture views, yet is only about 15 minutes from Old Town Fort Collins, which was exactly the combination we wanted to show our guests. Allan and Emily were the absolute best at all stages of the wedding planning process—not only in coordinating the venue but also in so many other aspects—they drove the shuttle buses, set up the greenery and lighting, prepped the ceremony field and arch, and so much more, all while making us feel incredibly supported. Our guests were in absolute awe at the care taken in all aspects of the venue, from the state-of-the-art reception hall, to the getting-ready houses, to the large planters filled with fresh flowers, to the airstream that functioned as a photobooth all night long. Allan and Emily provided us with so many resources to consider, such as a recommended vendor list, many of whom we used and also loved. They also have an entire vintage furniture selection for couples who may want to choose from those offerings, along with a bunch of rainy day supplies (e.g., clear umbrellas) to make wedding days as stress-free as possible, and stress-free it was. Rist Canyon was and remained the best initial decision we could have ever made for our wedding experience, and we would recommend it to all other couples. Allan and Emily are so kind and yet the epitome of efficiency and professionalism, and we’ll so miss working with them!

We had an amazing experience with Rist Canyon Inn! Allan and Emily are very attentive and were accommodating with all of our requests. Every space was clean and well kept from the farmhouse to the pasture. I would highly recommend! We used quite a few vendors from their preferred vendor list as well and also had great experiences with all of them.

Where do I even begin? The moment we stepped on the property we knew this was it for us! Emily and Allan created such a magical venue and they were a dream to work with, from start to finish. The flow of the space is just perfect. You begin in the farmhouse getting ready, then you step out into the field for the ceremony and end the day across the cobblestones in the reception space. Every single moment of the day was perfect, and I cannot recommend this venue enough!

My wife and I got married at Rist Canyon in September 2023 and it was amazing! Allan and Emily were responsive, friendly, professional and organized, and the venue itself is beautiful with plenty of space (we had about 75 guests). The farmhouse was perfect for the bridal party to get together in. It ended up raining on our wedding day but they had towels and umbrellas for the guests ready to go for us to still hold the ceremony outside. They were quick to move our cocktail hour inside and couldn't have responded to the situation better. We were stressed about it but everything went as smooth as it could have! I didn't even notice most of the logistical things that were happening around me because it was all so smooth and unobtrusive. It stopped raining eventually so everyone could enjoy the outside grounds, which are beautiful. We were going for a bit of a "mountain vibe" but wanted a location that was easily accessible for our guests, and RCI was perfect (most guests stayed in Ft Collins). Their preferred vendor list also helped us in deciding on other vendors, and the day of coordinator they set us up with was AMAZING and we ended up hiring her as a full-on wedding planner. (shout-out to Dana!) All in all, a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, RCI! (Also worth noting that they are very LGBT-friendly!)
