 If you are not familiar with the expansive complex that is The Ranch at the Larimer County Fairgrounds, you’ll want to make sure to read this blog from start to finish! My Big Day Events is proud to have this premier Northern Colorado event venue as one of its 2018 Supporting Sponsors! The Ranch at the Larimer County Fairgrounds has a space for every kind of event imaginable – from the obvious county fair, to Trade Shows, conferences, business meetings, concerts, corporate parties, and weddings! We love the fact that we can recommend this spot to a variety of our clients!  Located in the heart of Northern Colorado’s Tri-City area (Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley), this 244 acre complex boasts expansive grounds, state of the art facilities – 5 separate dedicated building event spaces and arenas, plenty of parking and high end amenities, and of course, plenty of outdoor event space with coveted mountain views! With 5 specific venue spaces to choose from, The Ranch pretty much has every event option covered! My Big Day Events has been lucky to work with the friendly staff and event sales team of multiple occasions. We’ve hosted and executed large scale corporate parties in the First National Bank Building, and The Ranch, in turn, has sponsored some of our signature events that we offer throughout the year. We love this partnership and look forward to future events with this Northern Colorado gem! 
 Guests were greeted with friendly faces from the My Big Day team at check-in. Wife Talk chose to host this event at the new Residence Inn by Marriott in Breckenridge.  Brie from the Breckenridge Tourism Office helped our guests prior to the retreat and upon check-in with booking activities and deciding upon the best way to spend their time while visiting!
The full day of sessions started off with some early risers, eager to to absorb - and of course with prayer!  More sessions and break-outs took place throughout the day. The hotel had wonderful accommodations and very helpful staff!  Lunch and dinner were provided by Gilchrist catering, a staple in Breck.
Of course, it wouldn't be a My Big Day event without signature cocktails and ample signage!  Thank you to our gracious clients from Wife Talk and for all the hospitable folks in Breckenridge who help make lodging and having fun easy!  Contact My Big Day "Dream Big, Live Big.

Recently the My Big Day Team visited the Platte River Fort in Greeley, CO. This needle in a haystack of a venue is the perfect place for a family reunion, corporate retreat, or large party! The venue bodes a variety of options... There is a large dining room that seats 50 people indoors, a courtyard with porch and patios, a party barn that can seat 250 guests, fire pits, yard games, and an upper deck that offers the best views in the area! Packages are available for every season. You can rent out the entire facility, or just pieces of it. We found the pricing to be very reasonable! With barn weddings and Western weddings and events being so popular in Colorado, the Platte River Fort is an ideal place for the person looking for a rustic environment that just so happens to be upscale!
As far as the TOP selling points are concerned.... we love that this venue is located off a main road (34), so it's easy for your guests to get to. The ambiance feels like you are in another time... back in the old west! There is lodging available onsite - a rarity for unique venues like this. But best of all.... you can BRING YOUR OWN CATERER, and you can BRING YOUR OWN ALCOHOL! Licensed vendors are required of course. ***Should you need help planning your event at the Fort, My Big Day has both the experience necessary for a DIY venue such as this, and ALL of our team members are Tips Certified, allowing us to serve alcohol at this venue.
For more information on the Platte River Fort for your wedding or event, email: info@platteriverfort.com or call 970-590-4414
