450 Acres of Hell Yes: Inside the Wedding Wonderland at Spruce Mountain Ranch

This week, we’re heading into the mountains — and not just for the views (although holy hell, the views). We’re breaking down one of Colorado’s most jaw-dropping venues: Spruce Mountain Ranch. With two completely distinct ranches (Upper and Lower), venues ranging from chandelier barns to wildflower meadows, and enough space to host an entire wedding weekend — this place is straight-up wedding magic.

We walk you through what makes each part of the property unique, the all-season flexibility, the photo ops, and why this spot deserves a spot at the top of your venue list. If you’re dreaming of a luxury mountain wedding with rustic soul and zero compromises, Spruce is calling.
