You’re Engaged! Congratulations, Now What’s Next?

Your wedding should be iconic, and there’s no better way to celebrate your love than surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and all the luxury your friends and family desire. Brush Creek Ranch is a highly sought-after private destination with an expert team that caters to the needs of the most luxurious couples and celebrity weddings. Every moment is tailored to provide you and your guests to create the experience of a time – an opportunity to unplug, connect, and share in something incredibly special.

So how do you plan a luxury wedding?

1. Let’s start by setting a wedding budget.

Your budget will guide all of your wedding planning. This will help you define the guest list size and allocate for vendors, décor, and more. It will also impact the where and when of your wedding day. Will you need a larger venue or a more intimate setting? Will you want a wedding date in the peak of summer, or save on budget when you plan during off-season?

2. Time to select your wedding planner.

Wedding planners are a must for your big day. While our team is here to help answer your questions and coordinate all of the moving parts at the Ranch, we do require wedding planners to handle all third-party vendors, styling, design, scheduling, etc. And trust us, you’ll be so glad you had a planner to ensure each and every detail is JUST as you envisioned it. If you’re needing a planner, we can provide you with a list of our most trusted recommendations that know the Ranch as well as we do.

3. You’ll need a team of vendors!

Next, you will select the individual vendors that will bring your wedding to life, such as photographers, florists, entertainment, hair, and makeup. If you don’t already have those partners in mind, then let us say a picture is worth a thousand words—take it to social media! Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok act as visual portfolios for leaders in the luxury wedding industry. And, of course, ask your trusted planner for their favorites!

4. Plan a Site Visit at Your Wedding Venue.

This next step is key. A site visit is important to walk the space in person and to visualize your big day. You should experience the resort’s amenities, meet the staff, explore unique venues, and experience activity options. With exclusive buyouts at the Ranch, you’ll enjoy complete customization of every wedding detail—from guest activities and events to venue use and décor. Brush Creek Ranch’s distinct properties and venues are suited to various wedding sizes and offer endless possibilities for creating a one-of-a-kind weekend-long celebration with total privacy for you and your guests.

5. Say Yes to the Dress.

Besides selecting your venue, we’d say the dress is the next most exciting step! Sipping champagne with a small group of your closest friends, you’ll feel a mix of anticipation and joy. When you turn to see yourself in the mirror, you’ll pause with a moment of clarity. This is the dress you will walk down the aisle in.

6. Cordially Invite Your Guests.

Select from a variety of wedding invitation styles, each offering a unique way to express your personality and set the tone for your big day. Choose from customizations, such as watercolor paintings that capture your venue at the Ranch, elegant hand-calligraphed lettering that adds a timeless touch, and wax seals—pressed with personalized stamps—to give your invitations a regal finish.

7. Finalize Menus with a Tasting.

Brush Creek Ranch invites you to embark on an extraordinary culinary journey for each of your dining experiences, featuring an onsite distillery, a goat creamery, a vibrant greenhouse, ranch-raised 100% American Wagyu beef, a rare spirit vault, and one of the largest wine collections in the world. Also indulge in fresh breads, pastries, and custom wedding cakes at the bakery!

8. Plan Ceremony & Reception Details.

With the help from your entire wedding team, create a meaningful and memorable experience for you and your guests. From choosing the perfect music and writing heartfelt vows to selecting table settings, lighting, and a signature cocktail, every element reflects your unique love story. Thoughtful planning will ensure the day flows beautifully from “I do” to the last dance.

9. Finalize Rooms & Activities for You and Your Guests.

Our all-inclusive services offer the most convenient solution for wedding groups! Guests may book individual reservations and make the required deposit to secure their spot, relieving you from these responsibilities. With two activities, three meals, and beer, wine, and spirits included for your guests, planning will be a breeze. For guests traveling from afar, we recommend a round-trip private charter from Denver to Shively Field or Hermes bus transportation directly to the Ranch.

10. Enjoy Your Wedding Weekend!
