Spruce Mountain Ranch was perfect for our 9/21/24 wedding! The staff was incredible during the planning and execution of our day! Brus Osborne was amazing to work with from our initial tour in 2022 all the way through our wedding day. Emily Wanderscheid was awesome the day of our event, so kind and helpful! The venue is so beautiful, most of our guests were from out of state and loved the venue. My husband and I truly had the best day of our lives and we are forever thankful for choosing and trusting Spruce Mountain Ranch with the most important day of our lives!

  • Up to 600 guests

2 Penguins is not your typical wedding location. We are a Taproom and Restaurant providing quality food, service and beverages. We were in the traditional wedding business under the umbrella business, Panache Catering, Inc, for over 30 years and left it because we eventually were worn out by what it had become. In that time we catered thousands of weddings. The expectations among a some groups of wedding families simply became impossible to meet. If you, too, are becoming worn out by what you are finding in the wedding industry you likely have found a great alternative at 2 Penguins.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Flexible event spaces
  • Full catering menu to choose from
  • Classic elegance

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No free parking
  • Does not allow pets
Awarded Best of Zola
We set out to find an affordable, functional, and vibey venue for our wedding and we hit the jackpot with 2 Penguins. We toured several places and the event coordinators were by far the easiest to work with. They can customize the menu fully, offer a fully stocked bar, and make it so easy to request and make the day your own. We got married on the patio and it was so green and beautiful. This place is 100% for you if you aren't interested in a traditional wedding vibe, but want a great place to host your special day.

The Mansion was the perfect venue for us- it gave us the flexibility of an indoor or outdoor ceremony, with plenty of space to have each part of our day in a separate area. When it snowed last minute on our Spring wedding, they were able to reconfigure to move everything inside. It is naturally beautiful so it doesn't need a lot in the way of decor. Plus, it naturally comes with extended seating options such as the living room.

This venue allowed us the space to create a 70s basement. We loved being able to change the ceiling lighting. Bekkah our coordinator was the first person we talked to. The groom said yes to the venue, specifically for the groom’s suit. They had a great time in there before the wedding. Bekkah was on board with every idea we had, she truly allowed me to feel like I had the freedom to run with my ideas. She was so helpful with the set-up of the wedding and her presence really put everyone at ease. She paid attention to our color scheme and it was awesome to get the chair upgrade. She was organized with some great layouts and spread sheets that were even colored coded using the colors of the wedding! Being out of state and a majority of our meetings happening through zoom calls, she made sure I was always involved. Mckiah the banquet captain, seemed to be right there every time we needed anything. She was very attentive, always keeping our drinks full. The serving staff worked quickly and quietly. They were very efficient and discreet. The bartender was everyone’s favorite person. He was very kind by expressing his appreciation for being included with the “tiki” theme. He remembered people drinks and got them ready before they asked. The guard was also just a pleasant person to have around. He was approachable and seemed to enjoy talking to everyone. My brother had his wedding at the Ken Carl location in December of 2022 so we knew the food was going to be good. The family and guests had a lot of dietary restrictions. The vegan/gf peppers were fantastic and having so many salad options was a great way to help accommodate everyone’s dietary needs. The tortellini and the prime rib were tied for everyone’s favorite. However, as there was no prime rib left over, I think it has to be the winner. Bret and Chris, the chefs, did not disappoint. Elizabeth the DJ, truly set the vibe for our 70’s wedding. She found every specific song we asked and check in on us all night. She always made sure we were ready to move on to the next thing and double check to make sure we were all on the same page. Once Tom from Love & Lense, heard about our wedding theme, he was completely on board. Chelsea stopped by the venue early, where she took pictures of each individual table decoration because each setup was different. They were great to have around all evening. They paid attention to my Pinterest board and made sure to incorporate pictures that I had asked for. We won a portrait during the food tasting extravaganza, which was very exciting. I can’t wait to see how all the pictures turn out.

We could not have imagined a better venue for our wedding! Before committing to Sanctuary as our venue, we talked with several friends who had either been married there or had family married there and they all had nothing but positive things to say, so we knew we were in good hands.The entire staff was incredible- our wedding guests have continued to rave about the views, food, and service even two months after our wedding (which says a lot, given that food at weddings is typically pretty forgettable). Julie, our coordinator, was absolutely the reason our day went smoothly and was completely stress-free. Throughout the planning process, she provided reminders of upcoming deadlines, walked us through what to expect the week and day of our wedding and on our wedding day kept us on track with our timeline all while giving us any and all support we needed and assuring us how perfect our day would be (which is was). We truly could not imagine a better day and Sanctuary's beautiful views and amazing staff are largely to thank!

Great staff, very clean (including the bathrooms) and I would definitely go back to any event being held there or highly considerate for my own event in the future!
