Went to tour this venue and was really disappointed with how poorly maintained it is. Needs fresh paint, needs to be deep cleaned, upstairs smells old and musty. For the price of the venue you would think they would take better care of it or maybe do some renovations and update it.

Thank you so much Gregory and Lawrence for hosting my favorite day of my life - my wedding! The whole process of working with the Willow Ridge Manor team - from touring the venue to the big day - was such a wonderful experience. Gregory and Lawrence are fun, professional, and highly knowledgable about the wedding industry. They provided great guidance to us, strong recommendations for vendors, and listened to our own ideas about how we wanted our day to go. I loved being able to have access to the venue all day. My bridal party and I arrived at 8:30 with hair and make-up artists and got ready in the upstairs room while my wedding planning team and family helped prep the ceremony areas - having all day access up until 1am was extremely helpful to not feel rushed, but rather relaxed and easygoing, on my wedding day. The venue is simply stunning and has everything you need to host a beautiful, lively, and unforgettable event. My guests RAVED about the venue and its location. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful red rocks, amazing view of the mountains and blue sky just breathtaking worth the trip. Really sad there's so much construction , there just blowing away all the nature in this place . Deer are of abundance here I have a feeling it's due to them running out of open space to roam because they want to pave everything they can get there hands on. Must see before it's gone forever.

Venue is not handicap accessible. Outdoor area has a ramp, but only steps without a bannister to enter the building.Dead flies on the windowsills in the room where catering set up. The venue may be historic, but it is in desperate need of an update. New paint, deep cleaning and adding handicap accessibility.

You have to clean the venue after use, I don’t just mean pickup after yourself. You must mop, vacuum and wipe down everything you have used. As you clean you get watched over by one of the owners and they will be sure to tell you if you’ve missed a spot, even if you’re in the middle of the cleaning process. If you liked getting watched over by the lazy creepy owners this is the place for you. Not to mention how one of the owners is oddly friendly to female guest. (In a weird way) oh yeh.. you also have to pay to use there cleaning supplies. WHAT A JOKE!

Wow!!! This venue was amazing. We JUST had our wedding here and it was absolutely perfect. Gregory was a delight. He is very specific about certain things but he has been doing this for years and years and wants your pictures and day to be flawless. He interacted with our guests and mine and my husband’s family absolutely loved him! He checked in on us often while getting ready to update me on the set up and made sure we had enough chairs at the ceremony site. He was very communicative on how he runs his venue and coordinates the day and the vendors. He was very sweet to the kiddos we had in our wedding and talked with our bridal party before walking down the aisle. He was also respectful when we chose to go another route that was different than his suggestions. I have read some bad reviews of him lately that are the complete opposite of his character. Gregory does not drink and he only wants to make sure you have a great day and that the vendors and everyone know where to go and are being respectful of this amazing old building. Lawrence is also awesome. He was not as involved with the guests as Gregory was but he helped us clean up and checked the rooms before we left and made sure we had everything. I would book this venue over and over if I could. The owners of the venue are wonderful. The location is amazing and the venue is big enough to hold a decent amount of people without feeling confined. We had about 100 guests and the only time it felt crowded was during the anniversary dance lol.To future brides-don’t let the negative reviews discourage you from this place. Go take a tour and speak with the owners directly and then decide on whether to book your event here.

I read some bad things about Gregory on the Colorado Brides page on Facebook… just FYI. Reports of him being intoxicated and braiding the staff. Just make sure you also research reviews on Facebook as well…

Best Wedding Venue Ever! A beautiful outdoor ceremony space that can become a post-ceremony dance floor with an antique turn-of-the-century manor as the indoor space: foyer, parlor, bar, kitchen, dining room with wooden dance floor, two side-wing balconies for extra seating with gorgeous views, and second floor with separate bride & groom suites and additional bathrooms.Gregory is an amazing owner, manager and day-of-coordinator with a wonderful sense of humor and genuine and authentic ability to connect with you and all of your guests. If you and your family are stuck-up, serious, stuffy, pretentious and take life way-too-seriously, Gregory's sense of humor and way of interacting may accidentally confuse or offend you.For ourselves and our community, Gregory's engagement was welcome: playful, refreshing, disarming, and helped bring fun and laughter to our preparation and celebration. We had high expectations and this venue exceeded all of them, making our dream wedding a reality.Additionally, the venue is affordable, private, easily accessible from greater Boulder & Denver areas, has spacious parking and includes amazing rock formations on the property for photography. In contrast to many of the other Colorados venues we considered that were double the price and often shared parking and split an outdoor space or venue configuration amongst two or more simultaneous weddings, this venue avoids those pitfalls by making it entirely yours alone.Gregory and Lawrence have been in the wedding business for decades and their professionalism and customer service shines. We can't recommend them and Willow Ridge Manor enough; we loved every minute of our special day – and so did all of our guests! Thank you for everything, Gregory & Lawrence – keep up the great work!!

Let's start with an awesome view especially at sunset, Gregory the owner of the manor, what a great guy. He helped with the rehearsal making sure the wedding party along with the families of the bride and groom seating arrangements.He was also on hand for the couple's big day he also has 3 long haired german shepherd's who are very friendly for us who loves dogs. One of them loves to play with rocks the older one she's the leader and will voice her opinion, but in a good way. And the third one she likes to walk around and play with her sisters. Gregory can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you did with getting the dj caters and the bartending staff setup and going. Thank you so much

We have had the opportunity to photograph weddings at Willow Ridge over the years and it is absolutely wonderful to get to work there. The staff is incredibly helpful and communicative, and Gregory is an absolute bonus...he is the most welcoming host, with such a kind presence about him. His commitment to making every celebration a memorable and flawless one is incomparable and the pride he exhibits in his property shines. The photo opps are limitless and spectacular. We highly recommend this venue for weddings at every opportunity!

Honestly I absolutely love this place! Gregory and Lawrence are an absolute hoot! Gregory made me feel so comfortable about my wedding day. He could NOT believe I wanted to get married in the rain, but you know what they say "rain on your wedding day is good luck", and I believe that my luck started when we found Willow Ridge Manor! It's such a beautiful and antique venue. It's so intimate and well laid out. 100% recommend if you want a beautiful wedding or event!
