Spruce Mountain Ranch Wedding: Congratulations Allison and Parker!

August 6, 2024

Allison and Parker were married on a beautiful summer day at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Colorado.

Allison planned a special first look with her dad. It was so sweet!

Immediately after, she shared a first look with Parker and then with their son, Luke.

The couple exchanged private vows and some happy tears.

Allison shares, “Our wedding was a celebration of elegance and timelessness, from our venue to the style of vendors we chose. We focused on classic elements that exuded sophistication, from the delicate details to the beautiful floral arrangements. Every aspect was carefully chosen to reflect a sense of beauty, creating an atmosphere that was both graceful and unforgettable.

It’s so hard to choose just one favorite moment from the day. From our first look, being surrounded by family and friends, special cufflinks I gave my Dad, the beverage burros, doggy drink sticks, a surprise wedding cake made by my aunt, Crumbl cookies for dessert, the speeches, our son Luke breakdancing, and everything in between, there were so many special moments throughout the day. If I had to choose my favorite moment from the day, I’d say being surrounded by all of our favorite friends and family. It was so special to have everyone together. We truly cherish each and every memory. It went by so quick and we’d do anything to go back and do it all over again.”

Allison continues, “We toured a few different venues around Colorado and as soon as we drove through the gates at Spruce Mountain Ranch, we knew it was where we’d say yes to forever together. Spruce Mountain Ranch is truly an amazing place. It’s equal parts rustic and so elegant. Since the majority of our guests were flying in from across the country we wanted a stunning venue that was close to the beautiful Colorado mountains and not too far from Denver. Spruce Mountain Ranch was the perfect place.

Throughout the planning process we were very thoughtful and intentional about the details. We wanted the day to be uniquely us. There were a few surprises along the way that I had planned for Parker and our son Luke. Although Parker and I shared our personal vows in private, during the ceremony, I surprised him by sharing personal vows I had written for Luke. He is incredibly special to me, and it was important that I not only vowed my love and commitment to Parker, but also to Luke.

During cocktail hour, we had Domenic and Bonita, the Rocky Mountain Beverage Burros, surprise our guests and everyone LOVED them, especially Luke. They were SO fun and made for such amazing memories. Even to this day when someone brings up our wedding, they mention the burros and how cool it was. Additionally, if you know anything about our family you know that we are obsessed with our two black labs, Yogi and Hiccup. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make the trip, however, it was important that they were still included in our day. During cocktail hour everyone got a drink stick with either of their faces and a cute caption of “I Do, too” or “Let’s Pawty.” It was a surprise for Parker too and he loved it. For dessert, Parker and I had a personal cake to cut and then chose to have our favorite Crumbl Cookies for our guests.”
