    We had our wedding at Balistreri on October 26th, and it could not have been a more perfect day thanks to the venue and the incredible staff. Mattie and Katy made the planning process a breeze, helped us pick our food out, took our wishes and feedback into account, and truly just gave us everything we could have wanted out of this day. They're incredibly flexible to your vision but will provide input and thoughts when needed, ensuring that everything is set up for success. The food and the wine is INCREDIBLE. We got so many compliments all night and after the fact about the dishes (lamb, salmon, and risotto), the appetizers, the desserts, the late night snack, and especially the cabernet. They're also incredibly accommodating to allergies, working with us for our friends and family with dietary restrictions to make sure everyone is aware of ingredients. We attended a tasting event to try a variety of food options, and then had a private tasting to finalize our menu, where Mattie and the chefs sat down with us and helped us tailor our menu to our exact wishes. The set-up, bartending, and wait stuff were all top notch - making our day run incredibly smoothly. The inclusion of chairs, linens, flatware, etc. and catering in house was a huge draw for us in terms of ease of planning. They have some highly recommended vendors for entertainment and alcohol delivery, who are not mandatory to use, but who worked seamlessly with the venue to create an easy and low stress day. Lastly, the venue is absolutely beautiful. It is set up so naturally perfectly that we barely felt the need for additional decor. The garage doors being open between the ceremony and reception spaces allowed for such a seamless flow and natural feeling cocktail hour. Our event of 120 guests fit the space wonderfully. We got married right at sunset, late in the year, and were gifted with the most gorgeous weather. I truly cannot rave enough about how wonderful it was to host at Balistreri. We had the most magical day and could not have done it without this wonderful venue. The amount of personal touches and care they put into hosting your event shows why it is such a popular and well loved place.

    We absolutely recommend Balistreri for your wedding venue! Our experience there was wonderful. The venue is absolutely beautiful, tall ceilings, understated and elegant with a feeling of warmth. The indoor/outdoor perk of the building was a big highlight as it allowed guests to mingle outside in the fresh air while still feeling completely apart of the wedding. The included decor is beautiful and the string lights outside made it magical. The food was really good too! We received so many compliments on the food and venue experience from our guests. Mattie and Katie were so easy to work with and very accommodating. This location really is a gem - great value, centrally located, everything you need and more.

    Matti & Katy were far and away the most competent organizers we met in all of our tours. The price was much better than most venues. They were flexible and met our needs on SO many fronts. This was truly so far beyond what other venues were offering, and we are so, so grateful to have worked with Balistreri. And the food!! Can't rave enough about this group of humans and the job they did.

    We had an amazing experience having our wedding at Balistreri Vineyards. It was an amazing venue, the prices were reasonable, and it was so easy to plan our wedding there. All our guests raved about the food and the venue handles so much there were very few things we had to do on the day of the wedding. This place is an amazing venue if you have a lot of people coming from out of town as it’s close to Denver, there’s lots of parking, and it shouldn’t be hard to get an Uber. We loved having our wedding there and can’t wait to go back and visit in the years to come. I would recommend everyone check out Balistreri if you want to get married in Denver!
