About The Spruce Mountain Ranch Wedding Venue
14771 Spruce Mountain Road
Larkspur, CO 80118
Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Denver and Colorado Springs, Spruce Mountain Ranch is an excellent private event venue that sits in the picturesque foothills of Colorado. This venue offers an impressive collection of wedding ceremony and reception sites celebrating Colorado style, with hand-crafted details, modern amenities, and indoor/outdoor event options.
In the 1870s, what is now known as “Spruce Mountain Ranch” was once a thriving dairy farm that also grew oats, millet, and hay. The property has changed hands numerous times throughout the years.
In March of 1999, Tom and Lois Ames bought the land. Tom and Lois allocated 100 acres to a housing development. Furthermore, the pair renovated the remaining acreage to become a resort-like atmosphere for families and guests.
Spruce Mountain Ranch ensures that a property manager attends every event, helping manage the vendors, keeping everyone safe, and supporting the client’s event manager in running an amazing event.
Details of the Grounds
The owners specifically constructed Spruce Mountain Ranch’s event spaces to highlight the beauty of Colorado. With both indoor and outdoor venue spaces available, this property can host weddings at all times of the year.
