how do I reserve my wedding date?
Upon touring the property, your execution of our Rental Agreement along with providing 50% advance payment reserves your date.
what happens after I reserve my date?
You will promptly be contacted by our venue manager. Our venue manager will be your chief source of contact from the time your date is secured throughout your wedding day. Your venue manager will also accompany you and your vendors on your final walk through (described below) to make sure everyone feels confident that all questions and concerns are addressed prior to your wedding day.
are there any Staff or Vendor requirements of the venue?
We do require that your caterer and bartending staff come from our approved list. In the event you really wish to use an unlisted caterer, we will do our best to accommodate you. We do require any unlisted caterer to meet with our venue manager so that we can make sure they are clear about our expectations and the specifics of our venue and the catering setup. That being said, we have curated so many great choices on our catering list and hope that you can make your choice from there.
how do I get to Planet Bluegrass?
The Planet Bluegrass Ranch is located on Highway 36, just northwest of the historic downtown area of Lyons, CO. Our property is bordered by the North St. Vrain River - between the bridges just outside of Lyons. We are just 25 minutes from Boulder and about an hour from Denver or Fort Collins. As the Planet Bluegrass Ranch is home to popular music festivals and other events, please reach out to us before visiting.
what items will I need to rent?
We provide custom cedar tables and wooden chairs with pads. You will likely need to rent your plates, glassware, flatware, linens, etc. Renting a few overhead heaters may be a good idea in the fall for the bar and patio areas. The Wildflower Pavilion is heated. You will find reputable rental companies on our Vendor List.
can we access property prior to our event?
Included in your rental is a one-hour walk-through at Planet Bluegrass with your venue manager. Typically the caterer and wedding coordinator also attend this walk through. We suggest you schedule your walk-through with your venue manager 4 – 6 weeks before your wedding date. Because of high demand, other visits to the property are not available other than our regularly scheduled tour times.
is that all I need to know?
Here’s some miscellaneous stuff:
Parking is included.
Use of the fire pit is included (unless there is a fire ban). We’ll provide firewood and our venue manager will light the fire.
Candles are permitted, but must be in a safe candle holder or a jar. No sparklers or candle-lit Chinese lanterns.
Can you have bubbles? Heck yes!
Use of our large walk-in cooler in the bathhouse building and refrigerator in the bar building are included.
Dogs are welcome for the ceremony. After the ceremony, please keep pups on a leash.
While there is no overnight camping permitted at Planet Bluegrass; Meadow Park is an excellent local tent camping or RV location. For reservations call the Lyons Parks and Recreation Department at 303-823-8250 until May 25th. After that, reservations will go through the park host at 303-823-6150.
