Spruce Mountain Ranch: Get to Know Your Wedding Venue

Finding the right wedding venue for you and your partner can prove difficult if you don’t know where to look. Luckily, Colorado is a great place to look. With some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the country, for both large and small weddings, Colorado definitely has a place for you. One of our favorite wedding venues here at Dgass Photography is Spruce Mountain Ranch.

What is Spruce Mountain Ranch?

Spruce Mountain Ranch is, simply put, one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Since 1871, this 2500-acre parcel of land has functioned as a ranch. Today, Spruce Mountain Ranch operates as a unique, scenic resort while still maintaining the ranch side of the operation. The owners, Tom and Lois Ames, continue to raise and breed purebred Angus cattle.

 

Though it has been around since the late 1800s, Spruce Mountain Ranch has changed hands a number of times and has undergone countless renovations. Today, this resort ranch perfectly represents rustic Colorado style with a mix of modern amenities to balance everything out. The result is the perfect Colorado atmosphere for a wedding.
