While you will be on a working cattle ranch, our venues are beautifully landscaped with paved outdoor areas. Attire varies at the ranch from casual to black-tie. We recommend contacting your host/hostess on what attire is most appropriate for their wedding. We do suggest sensible footwear at our Mountainside and Trey's Vista ceremony sites.
​
What is the weather like at Spruce Mountain Ranch and should I plan on being outdoors?
Colorado weather is beautiful, but can be unpredictable. We suggest guests always be prepared for any type of weather while visiting the ranch. While attending a Spruce Mountain wedding, plan on spending a portion of your time outdoors. In the summer months, bring a light sweater or jacket for the evening. Sunblock, sunglasses and umbrellas are also smart to have on hand. If you have allergies to grass, hay, dust, pollens, livestock, etc. you may want to bring medication to prevent a possible allergic reaction.

Cell service is limited. However, we do have free, reliable Wi-Fi that you are welcome to use.
​
Can we pet the cows?
Unfortunately, we cannot allow anyone access to our pastures. Our mama cows are very protective of their young, and by nature will charge if they feel threatened. Startling the cattle can cause them injury. More importantly, we do not want our guests to get injured.
