We had our wedding at The Pines last weekend and it was a magical experience. The entire planning and day-of-event group was very organized and everything seemed to run perfectly. Wedgewood has fantastic vendors that they partner with/recommend and the location made it very easy for out of town guests to get to. Most people stress about the planning of their weddings and I can't imagine using someone other than Wedgewood. One perk of using them is that you don't have to hire an outside coordinator or planner, which we thought was amazing.We wanted to give a special shoutout to Cristen (event expert), Sara (event planner), Claire (day-of operations), and Darrian (event bartender) for their service, kindness, attention to detail, and execution.In hindsight, the only thing my wife said that she would change would be to invest in ambiance lighting for reception room. There are a couple of add-ons that I felt should have just come with the standard package and not with an additional fee, such as the elite chairs, but Wedgewood is more cost-effective than most wedding options so it is hard to complain. One recommendation that I would give would be to go to one of their food-tasting events before your wedding. We almost completely switched our menu for the event and ended up being very satisfied with our selections.All things considered, our guests had a wonderful time and this is the third wedding with Wedgewood that our family has had, so we recommend them 100%.

Wedgewood Weddings' planner system is incredibly frustrating and inefficient. Their system routes you to multiple places before you can connect with the person you need, and they don't allow you to get in touch with venues individually.To make matters worse, after finally scheduling a call, they rescheduled it just 5 minutes before the scheduled time, only to inform me that the venue had been taken. This level of disorganization and disregard for their clients' time is unacceptable.I strongly advise against using Wedgewood Weddings' services. Their lack of professionalism and poor client services make them a disappointing choice for anyone planning a wedding

Be clear about your budget when you speak with a Wedgewood Weddings scheduler.We drove out to tour the venue in a snowstorm only to find out there was a $14,000 minimum that the scheduler failed to tell me. Further, our onsite contact stated that if she had looked at our info sooner she would have called us.Total waste of our time not to mention our safety.

When I proposed to my fiancée, I knew that planning the wedding would be a massive task. I have been involved in several weddings before, so I knew how involved it could be. Wedgewood Weddings at the Pines not only has an amazing venue in Colorado but has several other features that made wedding planning a breeze.The first thing that we saw was the venue. The unique location, right in the mountains outside of Golden, checked off all the aesthetics that we wanted – surrounded by nature and pine trees, an experience of the Rockies (and of course a ride that isn’t too far away from civilization). The venue itself is great. We had an opportunity to visit it beforehand and it has a nice floorplan with large windows and a balcony that overlooks nature. We love the Colorado mountain atmosphere, and this place has all of it. The outdoor ceremony location is amazing, so we are bummed we didn’t get to have an outdoor wedding!The second great thing about Wedgewood was the staff (Sara and Audrey helped us with our wedding). They were extremely responsive and flexible. They were transparent throughout the whole planning process, followed through with anything we asked, and answered all our questions. They made sure to periodically check in and keep track of the whole wedding process. Because they were so experienced, this took a ton of stress off me and my fiancée.The third great thing about Wedgewood is the flexibility of customization as well as the features included. Looking into other venues, things are often not included in the venue (i.e. food catering, the cake, florals, invitations, drinks, DJ services, officiant, etc.) which means you will have to go find and organize them yourself. The fact that the pricing is competitive with other places, but you have so many of these things included, was more than worth it. They gave us a wedding binder which easily explains all the aspects of the wedding and keeps it organized. In terms of customization, we were able to add or remove specific things that we did or didn’t want. For example, accent lightings are a part of the elite package, but we only had the premium. They allowed us to include these in our wedding despite not having the deluxe package. We were also able to remove a few things as well that we didn’t want. Don’t even get me started with how easy it was coordinating florals, cakes, or the photographer either! I am very grateful that a lot of the nitty gritty was taken care of so we could focus on other aspects of the wedding without stress.I’m writing this a few months before my wedding and the process up until now has been smooth and enjoyable. I cannot wait until we actually get married at Wedgewood at the Pines in a few months!

I booked this venue when it was still The Pines at Genesee and not owned by Wedgewood Weddings and Events. The transition between the two happened prior to my wedding and was a bit chaotic and confusing at times but everyone helped answer all my questions during the transition. We ended up with Audrey as our coordinator and she was amazing! She was on top of everything from the moment of assignment to day-of. She ran our timeline amazingly and helped so much when we found out that our main photographer didn’t show up and we had a backup coming in later. Her help and guidance on the day was really a stress reliever and everything ran so smoothly. The venue is beautiful, and I am so glad we chose to have my wedding here. The food was also absolutely amazing! We had breakfast and people are still raving about the waffles!

So helpful, beautiful landscape. The staff and customer service was what made us ultimately choose this place for our wedding. I can't compliment everyone enough

We had an incredible wedding at the Pines back in September! The venue went above and beyond with accommodating our needs and making sure everything was accounted for. When you book with this venue, you have to go through their caterer. We were worried that might be hard to work out, because we wanted a vegan wedding. However, that was not the case at all. The catering was amazing, and even our non-vegan friends were very impressed with the food. The vendors that the venue offers are amazing as well. It really made planning the wedding a lot easier having a short list of recommendations already provided for a bakery, DJ, photographer, etc. Our photographer, Casey, with Two One Photography was incredible (as you can see in these photos) and brought just the right type of guidance, reassurance, and warmth anyone would want to have on their wedding day. Our baker, Dina, with Bittersweet Bakery made a delicious assortment of vegan cupcakes as well as a vegan cake for us. The raspberry cream chocolate cupcakes were a hit, and she provided gluten free options for our guests who wanted them too. Ken, our DJ with Quality Mobile Sound was a pleasure to work with and clearly had a lot of experience that helped us with sorting out our playlists. The alcohol was very affordable, the staff was super reliable and nice (especially Ashley), and we couldn't be happier with everything the venue provided for us.

First of all, this place is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. If you're looking to have a dreamy woodsy/forest wedding -- this is it. And if you want someone to help pull off this perfect woodsy wedding -- Allyson is your person and the Pines staff are all your people. From the moment I stepped on the property, I was comforted and aided by everyone and before I knew it the day was sadly over, but I still find myself smiling wide nearly a week later thinking about it. We can't thank The Pines enough. And we're so grateful we found it a whole state away. If you're skeptical, take it from me: just do it. You won't be sorry ? -The Clays ?

Our wedding was everything we had hoped for! We selected The Pines for our venue because of how beautiful the venue is. The outdoor ceremony spaces are so pretty, that we didn't use any decor, and left it as is. We used the upper/Evergreen terrace. The same can be said for the indoor reception spaces, and we used the lower level. We rented the venue's centerpieces which were these beautiful, rustic lanterns with greenery. This made things so much easier vs paying for floral arrangements or doing something ourselves. The rustic look of the space is complimented by newer beautiful wooden tables and chairs that don't need tablecloths. Everyone we worked with at the venue was amazing! Our coordinator Ashley Shade was awesome every single step of the way, and made things SO easy for us. When the venue changed ownership from The Pines at Genesee and became The Pines by Wedgewood, both Ashley and the Wedgewood reps contacted us and put our minds at ease. The Wedgewood rep scheduled a Zoom call with us right away, and addressed any concerns we had. Everything stayed exactly the same with respect to our wedding, with the added bonus of new ownership obtaining a liquor license, so we would no longer have to provide our own alcohol, which was fantastic. When our coordinator Ashley left the venue about a month prior to our wedding, the new general manager, Connor Swanson took over and coordinated on the day of along with Stephanie. They were both amazing on the day of our wedding, so friendly, and took care of every little thing - things I wouldn't have even thought of. Our wedding went off without a hitch and was beautiful. All catering staff were super friendly as well. At the end of the night the venue staff even brought our bags out to our car, packed some of our wedding cake up for us, and even surprised us with a bottle of sparkling wine. I can't say a single negative or constructive thing about the venue and staff. Everything was wonderful, and it made for such a special day for us.
We got married at The Pines last month and it was everything we could have hoped for. We toured the place last year and knew right away it was the right choice for us. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Stephanie, our coordinator, was super transparent and gave us a ton of detail up front about the pricing. She was fantastic through the whole planning process with promptly answering any questions we had. On the day of, she was so professional and made sure things ran perfectly. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. I also want to give a a shout out to the other onsite staff on the wedding day - everyone was unbelievably nice and made sure the event went off without a hitch. This place really knows what they're doing.Full disclosure, we booked the venue prior to the transition in management from The Pines at Genesee to The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings that took place Aug 1, 2023. When we booked, the prior management team did not have a liquor license so our contract stated that we would supply the alcohol. This was actually a huge selling point for us due to money saving. Initially it was hugely disappointing to find out that we'd have to choose a bar package through Wedgewood due to them getting a liquor license because it was going to cost us a lot more. However, I'm rating 5 stars because Connor, the Wedgewood General Manager, was very understanding and worked with us on the pricing. They ended up cutting us a significant deal. I understand this probably won't be the same experience for others going forward, but it says a lot about their integrity as a company!

I attended this venue as a guest. The wedding was tucked away in the woods, which was beautiful and felt private given we weren't far outside of the city. After the ceremony, we went to the reception, which was inside the nearby reception building. The space was good for small weddings and had a pretty view of the woods outside from large floor-to-ceiling windows.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with the Pines for our wedding day! The food was absolutely delicious, the timeline went smoothly, and everything was perfect. We had booked the venue when it was the Pines at Genesee, and our wedding date fell after they transitioned to Wedgewood’s management - the transition was smooth and we are so grateful for the Wedgewood staff who all helped to make our day perfect. I cannot give enough praise to Connor with Wedgewood, who helped to guide our day. We had hired a day of coordinator per the suggestion of the Pines (prior to Wedgewood management), who ended up being 40 minutes late. We didn’t even realize she wasn’t there because Connor jumped right in and helped in any way he could. He made sure that my husband and I had drinks and got some of the appetizers from our cocktail hour while we took pictures. Our day was truly perfect thanks to this team, and words can’t begin to express our gratitude for the whole Wedgewood team.

The room for the bride and her party to get ready is way too small and right across from the men's and women's restroom, so no privacy for the bride. Impossible to keep guests from coming on and using the restrooms. Food served for a morning wedding was so so. Not hot enough. Flagstone where ceremony occurs needs to be leveled or removed. Easy to trip on and not good for guests with heels.
Sandy W.
So very disappointed after attending my niece's wedding. While the location is beautiful, the actual ceremony space is difficult to get to. They say it's accessible, but I would beg to differ. The brunch food - while having decent flavor - was served near cold. The planner Sarah allowed my niece no privacy in her bridal suite and guests were walking in prior to the ceremony. During the reception Sarah was no where to be found. I suppose the following wedding was more important. They herd people through that place like cattle! You have limited time to enjoy yourself. Even the decorations we spent so much time on were put up wrong, never fixed & never monitored; the planner couldn't have cared less when they got tampered with and destroyed. They still made their money. Wish Wedgewood would have left this successful mom & pop venue alone. Corporations ruin places like The Pines for a buck and don't care who they hurt in the process. Shame on you Wedgewood, and more shame on to the planner Sarah.
