A different kind of venue
Not a banquet hall with a field out back
Observer Ranch is an intimate setting on 76 acres, private, welcoming, and full of character, with room for your guests to stay the weekend. Small, personal, family-friendly, and unmistakably Colorado.
Up to 50 guests indoors, deck space for up to 100, a wraparound ceremony space with Sangre de Cristo mountain views, and six new A-frame cabins on site for your guests to stay.
