Opened in 1967, this site is an elegant restaurant, tavern, and private event space located in the north Boulder countryside and nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The surrounding 20 acres features two ponds, striking woodland and thriving vegetable, fruit, and flower gardens. The cuisine focuses on seasonal, American classics and is complemented by a 900-label award-winning wine cellar.

It is a four-season intimate ceremony venue, and they offer several sites for ceremonies, including:

• The pond with waterfall and to-die for mountain views (informal ceremonies of 15 people or less--no chairs, arches, etc--but the backdrop is so gorgeous, you won't need any embellishments!).

• A small, secluded lawn area--just off their sunroom. Very shady and perfect for hot summer days. This site is also surrounded by trees with white lights, so it's also gorgeous in the snow. They will do chair set-up and/or an arch in this location for an additional fee of $275.

• The cabin lawn - a meadow with mountain views.

• The Little Room--a cozy indoor room that can serve as an intimate dining area for up to 15 or a picture-perfect ceremony area in case of inclement weather.

• The upstairs fireplace - where you and up to 20 guests can be married and then dine in front of the fireplace.

• The Sunroom--minimum of 20 guests (25 on Saturday nights).

What we love about this site:

• It's all in one: you'll have your ceremony in one of the beautiful spots around the site, and then head over to the dining area for a fantastic meal.

• It's a four-season venue.

• The backdrops for photos are varied: mountains, water, waterfall, trees.

Potential drawbacks of this site

• This is not a free site, although the fees are reasonable.

• The discounted offer to hold a ceremony for 15 or less on the grounds is only offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays. (Larger groups can be accommodated Wednesday through Sunday, but additional fees apply.)
