Wedgewood on Boulder Creek

I am getting married in 9 days and I cannot describe how happy I am to be using Wedgewood on Boulder Creek as our venue. Everyone keeps asking me why I appear so calm and it’s because the staff at Wedgewood, specificially Ally and Paige, really take care of so much for you. I trust them 100%. Even though this venue is all inclusive, I still feel like i have total creative control and know that they will execute the vision. I also have loved their vendors, especially Sarah at Painted Primrose, who has been a delight to interact with. This venue was one of the best decisions we’ve made in our planning process.

My husband and I got married at Wedgewood on 11÷21÷15, and it was the best experience we could have imagined. We only had a 5 month long engagement but Wedgewood worked with us every step of the way to make it the wedding we wanted. First of all– the staff is wonderful and so trustworthy. We never felt like we were being taken advantage of and we never had to call multiple times to get a hold of someone. Easiest wedding planning ever. The girls, specifically Alexandra, Kaitlyn, and Paige, worked SO well as a team with communication with us and planning our day. Yes– the three of them used the same email address, but I thought that was a big advantage because we could get a hold of them easily if one of them was out of the office. Paige & Adrianna helped so much on the day of to keep our experience relaxing and fun!
Like many have said, our wedding day was stress free because of the staff at Wedgewood. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. If things went wrong, I was blissfully unaware because I knew the staff would be handling it well.
As for details–
We had 130 people at our wedding and did both the ceremony and reception indoors.
The ceremony went off without a hitch and Paige made sure all of us were where we needed to be at the right time! The staff also quietly helped late-​arrivals, which I appreciated.
Dinner was so good and the staff made sure we ate which was a big help. We had a buffet with salmon, a carving block with a roast, and chicken marsala. Lots of yummy salads to choose from.
We had an open bar for cocktail hour and California bar for the majority of the night. Our guests enjoyed that a lot and we were big fans of the margaritas :) Also-​good beer selection!
We got our cake from Shamane’s Bakery. One tier was chocolate-​cinnamon and the other was carrot cake. Just scrumptious and turned out exactly as we wanted. One of my day-​of regrets was not eating more cake.
Our flowers were from Painted Primrose and were beyond gorgeous. I cried from joy when I saw them on the morning of the wedding. They were just so beautiful and Sarah was a delight to work with. She has such an eye for what looks good.
DJ Maestro did our ceremony music and reception music and MC’ing. Kody from DJ Maestro was a great MC and gave us the EPIC dance party we hoped for!
The Renaissance Flatiron Hotel is beautiful and easy to work with. Their staff was very communicative and my family that stayed there had a great experience. The only downside is that it’s in Broomfield and a decent drive to/​from Wedgewood.
All this to say– I recommend getting married at Wedgewood to all the people I meet who are engaged, and I’m so glad that we got married there. It was the best day of our lives and we are so thankful for the staff at Wedgewood Boulder Creek.

Even though the following things went wrong on my wedding day (October, 30^th) Since then I have had two of the managers call me. One was the general manager who offered me a refund and now two weeks later the Regional manager has reached out. Even though these things went wrong they have been amazing and are constantly making it up to me. I am amazed at the effort the Wedgwood is putting in to make things right. I have been given a very big refund and now they are offering to pay for part of a getaway to Breckenridge for my husbands birthday. I give five stars to how professional this business is and they are taking my complaints very seriously because they never want any of this to happen again. I kept my review up though just so the next bride and groom can ask the right questions, but I do have total faith that the Wedgewood would not let these things happen again.
Here are all of the things that went wrong on the day of my wedding:
Everyone was freezing becasue the reception is in a tent where they have heaters yet they onlyt urned the heaters on 15 minutes before the dinner, but decided to leave the tent flaps open even though I had multiple people ask the staff to please close the tent flaps. They finally closed the tent flaps when I sat down (obviously the last person to sit) so my guests ate with coats on.
They didn’t move the cocktail hour inside even though we asked them too.
They left the doors open to the outside the entire time.
They didn’t turn on the heaters in the tent until right before people came in to eat
They said there was a bar outside and there wasn’t. There was no bartender.
They didn’t set everything up before people arrived. Even after the wedding there were still boxes in the room where people were having drinks.
There was a lack of coordination between the coordinator that did the rehearsal and the coordinator that was there that night. They have your bring everything to the rehearsal and then discuss where everything goes the day of the wedding so that is what I did, but come the day of the wedding almost all of my decorations were set up wrong and bridesmaid and family members had to go around fixing things.
They didn’t know where we were entering from.
They didn’t know how to set up the decorations.
They didn’t have the list of where to put the name cards on the head table.
The coordinator was basically MIA the entire time.
No one introduced themselves to myself when we arrived or checked in at all before the wedding.
The first time we saw the coordinator was when she told us it was time to walk down.
After the wedding the coordinator pretty much disappeared and the catering manager had to run everything for the rest of the night.
We had a family member who made the desserts and we had been told that the Wedgewood staff would refill them but they argued with her and told her she would have to refill them. They also told us the table for the desserts would be set up and ready to go for her and that didn’t happen. The general manager did call me the next day to apologize and refunded us money to try and make up for it and I appreciate that.

From the moment we stepped foot in the doors of Wedgewood, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. It was the first and only venue we looked and and loved the service and location. We used all the preferred vendors and cannot say enough amazing things about it. It rained at about the time I was supposed to walk down the aisle, and Alex made sure to make my day everything I wanted, by relocating the whole ceremony inside the tent at the last minute– even re-​creating aisles and it gave an outside look, with everyone staying dry. They catered to our every need– making sure we had yummy food and drinks full all night. Dj Kody was awesome– playing every song we wanted– we had the BEST PARTY! Cupcakes and cake were delicious, moist and many guests gave rave reviews!
I loved, loved my bouquet and flowers. Sarah from painted primrose created just what I envisioned! Everything was awesome and I cannot say enough awesome things about everyone! We used an outside photographer, but the Wedgewood ladies suggested to the TomK, who is starting videography services, to get our wedding videoed for free! Just amazing.
I am so happy with Wedgewood and all the vendors, as were my parents and friends. A plus!

These ladies are THE best. We used this as somewhat of a destination wedding with half of our guests (and ourselves) living in Nebraska and everything was fully taken care of! I researched so many venues and this one caught my eye with its all inclusive style. The staff definitely made it what is was. I am a details person so I go over every little thing… even with my perfectionist demeanor, they had everything noted. I asked for salons, rehearsal dinner venues, lunch catering, just about every little thing I didn’t know for the area and they had quick responses and fun suggestions. The staff leading up was great and on the night of (with quick changes due to rain) kept me calm and collected. Our catering director and DJ were amazing. BEST DJ EVER. Never cheesy and always kind. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We had a blast!

My husband and I married (destination) in July at Wedgewood Boulder (WW) Creek. The selling point for choosing this venue was the beauty seen in photos online, the all-​inclusive component, value for money and 5 star reviews of service.
We shared fantastic highs throughout day but also some very disappointing lows and feel it’s warranted to share these with potential brides in the hope to mitigate similar experiences from happening.
Firstly, I think it’s important for any future bride (particularly one who cannot tour the venue) to know that a main road runs directly behind the arbour, this is not identifiable in photos nor was it something that was brought to our attention in the contract phase. I must say we were mortified when this fact was discovered and seriously considered changing venues but was reassured by the WW staff that given the sound of the river and microphones used in the ceremony that it would not be noticeable. Unfortunately, their sound system broke which meant our guests could not hear the entire ceremony (I’m not overreacting when I say how noisy the road is, groups of motorbikes pass through very regularly) but it also meant our ceremony ran 35 minutes late. What is even more disappointing is I was not enlightened to this before I walked down the aisle so I was standing there confused and frustrated (as of course I couldn’t ask what was happening). Honesty is the best policy.
Our second disappointment was the DJ and MC service. I had heard from a previous WW bride that this was the only item that didn’t go to plan on their day, so I positively, requested their most experienced DJ/​MC (Matthew) and again was reassured by the WW that there was nothing to worry about, unfortunately, it wasn’t Matthew that serviced our wedding and we can firmly say this was not an MC, because of the lack of enthusiasm, most of our guests missed the bouquet and cake cutting, we embarrassingly stood waiting for him to announce each component and consistently needed someone to remind him to stay on schedule. We would not recommend utilising this service.
Thirdly, we experienced repetitive frustration in the planning phase, with the lack of accurate communication provided by the WW generic email address. Continually, the responses received had been from different coordinators each time without regard to the specifics of our wedding arrangements or details. Contract revisions were riddled mistakes. There were items on it that were had not been requested and incorrect vendor information; which demonstrated how out of touch the Wedgewood coordinators are to the true vision of our wedding and what had been previously discussed. So again, we raised our concerns to the general manager in the hope this would alleviate our apprehension, we can thankfully say it did and after 11 months of frustration we received flawless communication from 1 dedicated coordinator for the remainder.
Lastly and overall, we still believe this venue has a lot to offer and would recommend it to couples who live in the same state. (Or have the ability to tour and meet in person for planning meetings).

My husband and I were married at Wedgewood on 5.30.15 and it was the BEST day! A lot of that is thanks to the amazingly kind and sincere staff at Wedgewood. They really honestly want every couple to experience the wedding of their dreams, whatever that is. We were planning from a distance and knew that would be difficult, but all of the ladies we worked with made us feel like we were the most important people ever. I truly don’t know how they do it, but they are perfectly in sync with each other and with their clients.
The venue is stunning and immaculately kept (check out the outdoor pics on their website), planning was incredibly easy thanks to their guidance and the time they take to work out every detail with you (even down to having champagne and a plate of snacks for us when we wanted to sneak off for a minute), and the day of ran perfectly. Not only did we have two coordinators there during the event, but we also had a banquet captain who checked in with us about every hour to make sure we had food and drinks, which, let me tell you, will definitely make you feel like a rockstar :)
A wedding is the most important event a couple will plan together, and that will cause stress. Let’s be real, it’s inevitable. Whenever we were feeling confused or concerned, we turned to our Wedgewood gals who had an answer within a day (we really never waited longer than an afternoon for an e-​mail response, which is amazing!). Choosing Wedgewood will be the best wedding planning decision you’ll make. It was, hands down, certainly the case for us :)

This place is amazing. I wanted something easy and simple. I’m a simple gal, and I don’t like the whole «bridezilla/​privileged/​gimme» thing. Some people can be like that, and that’s fine — but I didn’t want to create more stress around something that is supposed to be a happy occasion. Anyway, Paige, Jenna, and Ally all helped me through this process so quickly and easily. It is most important to me to note that they all seemed very sincere, and I even noticed Ally was emotional on my special day! They all were genuinely happy to help me and really excited for my day, despite having so many other brides to smile for. I can usually tell if people are fake-​nice, and these ladies have exactly what it takes to work at Wedgewood Boulder Creek. They were helpful, explained things I wasn’t familiar with, gave me ideas, didn’t push on any sales, were excited with everything I wanted to do with our wedding, and were extremely helpful on the day of. It was a wonderful day, everyone knew where to be and where to go, and it turned out to be a beautiful wedding. Thanks for making it so easy! Also, I had a s’mores bar. ‘Nuff said.

Our wedding at Wedgwood was incredible! They are so helpful during the planning process, and to have the coordinator and the banquet captain helping on the day of the wedding was priceless. Their packages make planning so much easier than pulling in vendors and trying to manage them all yourself. The location in Boulder Canyon is breathtaking, and the renovations make the place look so clean and classy. They are very accommodating and make sure they pay attention to any special request. Our guests keep commenting how beautiful the wedding was. Highly recommended!

First of all, let me preface this review by stating that my wedding has not happened yet. (I will return to Unilocal and update this review after the wedding, based on my wedding-​day experience, and who knows, maybe it will all go stunningly and this becomes 5 stars like all the others!)
That said, I’ve had such a poor experience planning my wedding with Wedgewood that I feel it necessary that other brides be warned. …but before I get to the warning, let’s start with the good things. :)
One star for beauty. This venue is beautiful. Boulder itself is beautiful, but this location is truly the ideal place for a wedding. The alter overlooks Boulder Creek, there’s a beautiful grass lawn, a brand new tent, nicely upgraded old building, and oodles and oodles of charm. Based on venue alone — I would highly recommend Wedgewood Boulder for your wedding!
One star for people. The staff is also fantastic. All the wedding planners that work here are very, very nice. Each is friendly, perky, has a wonderful personality, and is a pleasure to work with. Even the servers and bartenders I’ve met (at the bridal faire) were pleasant, unobtrusive, and helpful. Based on staff alone — I would also highly recommend Wedgewood Boulder for your wedding!
Now on to the negatives (before the wedding)
For context: I organize and run tech conferences every year, for anywhere from 250 people to 3,000 people, and never has an event I’ve put on been as disorganized as my own wedding — and here I am paying professionals for wedding planning!
Down a star for poor business practices: There are at least five wedding planners, and they all share an email address (bouldersales@). Every time you send them an email, it’s likely someone new will respond, and also likely that person knows nothing about your wedding, or what you discussed with the previous person. Similarly, every time you have an in-​person meeting, you meet with someone new. Very frustrating.
The contracts (also called estimates, or proposals, depending on who is emailing you) are also a complete mess. In the real world, an estimate, a contract, and a proposal are different things. Not to Wedgewood, they are all the same thing, and every one we have received has been riddled with mistakes. Sometimes there are spelling errors, sometimes the item amounts don’t add up correctly, and sometimes there are things in our contract we have never even heard of before. The most frustrating thing, however, is that every time you ask for a change, things are changed that you didn’t want changed, things aren’t changed that you did want changed, and new mistakes are introduced.
Apparently there are an infinite number of «contracts» for your event, and depending on who answers your email a different one will be updated, or a new one will be created. Last weeks mistakes (that were fixed this week) will reappear next week. There are also different sections of the contract that list the same things (beverage selection, for example) and more often than not one entry is updated where the other is not, creating a «contract» that contradicts itself.
I’m not sure if the problem with the contracts is the software Wedgewood uses, the way they are using it, or the process they have adopted. Whatever it is, it’s most definitely not working! Down 2 stars for making me waste countless hours correcting your mistakes.
The food is also not good. It’s not horrible, but it’s not good either. I went to a Wedgewood bridal faire located in Carmel, CA, and the same recipes tasted delicious there. The cook (or cooks?) in Boulder just seem like they don’t care. Maybe they don’t taste the food before it goes out, or maybe they don’t know what good food tastes like, but based on the food we have tried in Boulder (also at the bridal faire — where you would think they are trying to make a good impression) it’s just nothing special. (I will update this section later based on how the food turns out at the wedding — perhaps they will hire a good chef and it will end up as good as it was in Carmel — here’s to hoping!)
The bottom line is that this place is a wedding factory. They crank out one or two weddings every day, and you are just another customer to Wedgewood. If you want to feel special about your wedding day, this may not be the right choice for you.

My husband and I got married here on Memorial Day 2015 and we had a fantastic experience! Everyone who works here is so friendly and organized, we always felt like we had a handle on the big day in the months leading up. During the rehearsal and the wedding, the staff was so supportive, helpful, and organized. With a million moving parts, we felt like everything was under control the entire time. Many of our guests complimented how great the staff was. Of course, this doesn’t even take into account the incredible setting. Just a short drive from Boulder, you find a beautiful lush atmosphere right on Boulder Creek with amazing photo opportunities and a secluded feel. The tent and building are also the perfect settings for dinner and dancing. We can’t say enough good things about the Wedgewood.

Paige, Ally, Alexandra, Anna and Jaz were great to work with. They almost always replied to our emails and phone calls within one business day. They all appear very youthful but they run the show like they’ve been doing it for decades. It’s very impressive. They’re all very friendly at the wedgwood and I didn’t have a single bad experience with them. We had some difficulty with one of the vendors they recommended (and later broke ties with after we booked them for our wedding) and they more than made up for it even though our complaint was with the other business and not the Wedgwood. They have great customer service skills and the venue is just gorgeous. I would definitely get married here again!

My wife and I recently tied the knot here and you’d be crazy to not at least visit here. The drive from Aurora to Boulder, though it was long, it was WELL WORTH IT. The team here were the most incredible women I’ve ever met and was able to make our experience OUR EXPERIENCE. We had an incredible time from start to finish and the wedding was amazing. We used Tom K photography which you can add to your package and he took incredible shots. The food was delicious way beyond our expectation, you have to order the beef and the sliced ham. I have referred quite a few people to them and will continue to do so in hopes that they have an equally amazing experience.

They’re getting it together. A bit shabby, with somewhat unfriendly staff, but serviceable and a beautiful view.

As expected, our wedding was beautiful and stress-​free, all thanks to Anna, Paige, Alexandra, and the rest of the fantastic team at Wedgewood.
The flowers were stunning (Painted Primrose is their vendor), the cake was divine (also their vendor, Shamane’s Bake Shoppe), and whole experience in general was fantastic.
If the thought of managing 13 different vendors and DIY-​ing everything about your wedding makes you break out in hives, have your wedding at Wedgewood. You will not regret it for one second!
Also, mini corn dogs… nuff said.

Negatives
Gluey mashed potatoes. How can you cook a perfect tenderloin and screw up potatoes?
Positives
Staff — expert at what they do and friendly.
Location — Boulder Canyon is beyond picturesque beautiful.
Building — sparking renovations.
Food — all of it very good to excellent except for (see above).
Free Wi-​Fi — which you might want as there is no cell phone service.
Overall, a very happy wedding of our daughter.

I cannot say enough in favor of Wedgewood on Boulder Creek.
Our wedding: Friday July 18, 2014 — outdoor.
Site: BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I signed on with them when it was covered in snow and still very early on in renovations. But Anna & Paige made us feel confident it would be beautiful and they were 100% right. Our wedding was at 6pm in July and it just beautifully caught the sunset behind us during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests loved getting to walk along the creek during the reception; the indoor/​outdoor reception tent is very romantic. Ah, it was just all beautiful! LOVE LOVE LOVE. The site made our wedding — several guests said it is the best one they’d ever been to. True story.
Also, we were concerned traffic from the road and noise from the creek would be too loud during our ceremony but none of our guests even noticed it. The foliage really drowned out a lot of the noise — it was very peaceful and quiet during our ceremony.
Managers: Anna & Paige are the absolute best. They expressed genuine interest in my husband and I and our hopes, dreams, desires, and story. Planning my wedding was very stressful for me and I’m glad it is behind us now, but Anna & Paige helped me to celebrate all along the way; their genuine excitement brought so much joy to me all throughout the process. They are very clear communicators, explaining every detail very effectively. But above all, I really felt that they cared most for my best interest, doing all they could to provide for me exactly what I was hoping for whether that was through Wedgewood or not. We had experiences with other venues we were checking out who were trying to sell us what was most convenient for them, and that really turned us off from doing further business there. Plus, they’re just fun to hang out with!
Food: Excellent. We had a buffet. Delicious!
Alcohol: GREAT. We really wanted to have local Boulder beer at our wedding for all the out-​of-​staters coming in and were thrilled share Avery’s with everyone.
We are so thrilled to have been able to celebrate our wedding day at Wedgewood. They went above and beyond our expectations and we had 100% a great experience with them through and through. It was a little pricier than other venues we looked at, but for how well they cared for us from beginning to end, it was well worth the stress they took off my shoulders!
HIGHLY recommend them! :)

We had our Wedding at Wedgewood a month ago and it was absolutely perfect in every sense. Paige was incredible from start to finish and stopped at nothing to be sure we had a flawless wedding.
The venue was absolutely gorgeous and left a lot of our out of town guests speechless. Seriously, I cannot think of a better spot for having wedding pictures there are huge trees, the gorgeous creek and wonderful landscapes that serve as amazing background for photos. The outdoor ceremony location is also extremely picturesque.
The food at the venue is also top-​notch, all of our guests continue to rave to us how great the meal was from the 8 different salads, to the perfectly prepared salmon, and beef.
But the best part of the wedding is by far the service provided by the Wedgewood staff, the details involved in wedding planning can be extremely stressful but with Wedgewood you can rest assured knowing that they will support you through every step of the process. Their event coordinator did an amazing job! she moved along the schedule without being pushy and made sure that my wife’s and my needs were met every step along the way. Having them at the wedding and the rehearsal certainly saved some potential crises from happening. Additionally, they flawlessly execute every detail you ask, from hanging up signs around the venue to decorating each table with precise detail.
If you are planning a wedding take a look at Wedgewood. You are not going to be able to find a better wedding venue in all of Boulder County.

After visiting over 10 wedding venues in California (where we live) and emailing another 20, we ultimately decided to get married at the Wedgewood on Boulder Creek for two reasons: the incredible customer service we received from Anna and Paige, and the affordability.
Since day one Anna and Paige have answered all of my questions ASAP, and have been supportive and accommodating to the fact that my fiancé and I want a unique wedding. We were slightly nervous at the beginning about hosting our wedding with a larger (though family run) banquet company, but they have been nothing but open to our requests to personalize our wedding.
Born and raised in Boulder, the Red Lion Restaurant has great sentimental value. I am excited we get to have our wedding in such a beautiful place and with the help of such wonderful people! 5 stars so far!

My fiancé and I were torn between 2 venues, one of which was Wedgewood. After envisioning a mountain wedding, we decided to book our wedding and ceremony at Wedgewood because Paige and Anna were phenomenal from the moment we met them. They spent as long as we needed during the initial meeting to show us around, answer questions and explain the renovations and what the venue would look like in the spring.
Everything we had envisioned for our big day — an outdoor wedding that included our Yorkie «ring bearer,» lawn games during the cocktail hour and an outdoor dinner — is going to be a reality at Wedgewood, which wasn’t possible at the other venue we loved. We really loved the customized packages that make planning so much easier than calling around to find vendors. Anna and Paige have continued to be very responsive on questions since we’ve signed the contract and have helped give ideas on what they’ve seen at other weddings that fit our vision. The only drawback that we see is that there isn’t a menu tasting option.
We look forward to September 2014 and will give an update after the wedding!
