Willow Vale is an incredible venue if you are looking for something personal, versatile and picturesque! A quaint little spot under large willow trees and surrounded by mountains- It could not have been a more perfect setting for our wedding! Lori was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with all of my questions. We loved that we could stay on site on all weekend in the cute cabins and the flexibility within the venue for locations of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. She also had a lot of decor, tables and cutlery to utilize as well which was an amazing plus (one less thing to worry about). Our guests (who are frequent wedding go-ers at this point) couldn't stop raving about the unpredicted beauty of Willow Vale and the Westcliffe area and plan to return. We truly can't recommend Lori and her team at Willow Vale enough! Ps- the stars at night are incredible, I only wish I could place a picture with this review!

Kodie is such a gem of a human being and I am so blessed that I got to work with her, she made my whole wedding experience and wedding day absolutely perfect!!! My (now) husband and I are from MN and we wanted to get married in CO and have a small wedding. At the beginning of my wedding planning I found Kodie when she had posted in groups about her mobile bar business K-Bar, in a CO wedding group on Facebook. I went to her website to check out the bars and such because they looked adorable. While I was looking around the website I found that they had recently began to offer micro weddings at their home/land near Guffey CO that couples can make their own day! So I sent a message and Kodie sent me more information and it was an immediate yes!! We booked and got everything going! Kodie responded to emails and texts in a timely manner and we spoke on the phone many times. She is so nice and took time to go over options, give recommendations, and walk me through everything. She coordinated and put everything together for us! We had a big beautiful white tent with sides that we could open or close (in case of weather) with cafe lights, portapotty, yard games, tables and chairs, beverages, and food!! We had a personal pizza party & a nonalcoholic beverage station! Everyone made their own pizza and Kodie cooked it in a wood fire grill! She had so many topping options for people and it was a HUGE hit!! We got to pick an alcoholic beverage package and what bar we wanted (we went with Johnnie Cash)! Chris was a fabulous bartender and he was so fun to chat with! Kodie had so many fun options, decor, and details!! We have nothing but good things to say about our day and there is not a single thing that we would have changed!! I kid you not, we received compliments from every guest and had multiple people tell us that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to!! Everything was exactly what I had dreamed of and working with K-Bar was really what made it so great! Not to mention the gorgeous views and their donkeys! When we come back to CO for vacations in the future, I will for sure be reaching out to Kodie to meet up because her and Mitch feel like family now! XO-The Utsch’s!
