 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! 
Choosing the right wedding venue is all about finding the destination that strikes the right note. Your ceremony location should speak to your story, personality and even your passions. If the two of you love the outdoors, consider hosting your nuptials at a park or on the beach. Some museums and historic sites also may be open for wedding events. Know your budget before exploring sites, and always read reviews of venues before committing. No matter where you plan your big day, just remember that the vows matter most…not the location. 
Recently the My Big Day team went on an all day site visit with our friends at the Boulder CVB to get caught up on all the new, exciting venues in Boulder, Colorado. We traveled around town in style in their Volkswagon bus! While the day offered some weather surprises, our hosts, Angela and Fig made for great company!!!!  We started our day with a visit at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder & Hilton Garden Inn Boulder. We loved both of these spaces - very fresh, clean and contemporary. Our team noticed all the natural light they offered, and amazing art! Groups large and small will love the variety of meeting and conference space now available - and at multiple properties so close to each other! Our favorite features:
 After our tour of the Hilton properties, we headed over to the Boulder JCC. What an outstanding building! There were so many thoughtful touches and state of the art features. Our entire team was really impressed! Our favorite features:
 Our next stop was in Downtown Boulder, the amazing Rembrandt Yard. Not only is the Rembrandt Yard an art gallery, but it is an event space that offers so many unique features. With 2 levels, wood floors and windows that look out on downtown Boulder, this space can be anything you dream it to be. Our favorite features:
We cannot thank our Boulder CVB hosts enough for spending an entire day with the My Big Day team, arranging so many tours, and for driving us around in their bus!

We have been anticipating the opening of the new Elizabeth Hotel in Old Town Fort Collins for quite some time. We were delighted to be granted an early peek and tour for our entire team of this new gem in Northern Colorado!

In the musical, Waitress, the protagonist, Jenna, expresses her hopes, dreams, and fears through the whimsically named pies she creates and bakes each morning. Like Jenna, the owners and lovely people at the newest Downtown Fort Collins attraction, Ginger and Baker, had dreams of their own - specifically of opening a little pie shop where people could gather in fellowship and with food. They put their hopes and dreams to work, and their vision expanded from pies to much, much more.  The My Big Day team had the opportunity to take a private tour of the amazing new facility, and let’s just say we were blown away. The love, details, and innovation that went into the remodel of the Old Feeders Supply Company building, a staple of downtown Fort Collins since 1905, was apparent the moment we walked in. The coffee and bake shop were full of wonderful scents and cozy decor. The new building additions of the The Cache restaurant and patios offered a nice modern flare to the historic landmark, blending the past with the present and future. No detail in design was overlooked, making the entire facility a site to see!
 Our tour took us through all seven of Ginger and Baker’s unique spots: The Market & Bakery, The Cafe, The Teaching Kitchen, both levels of The Cache Restaurant, The Rooftop Bar, and two separate special event spaces - one upstairs in the old building, and a beautiful wine cellar below. All of our planners were giddy with all of the future event possibilities that Ginger and Baker could hold!
 There is event space for small groups such as book clubs, date nights, and small corporate functions, as well as larger spaces for holiday parties and receptions. We were so impressed and excited, we booked a reservation on the spot for our upcoming team Christmas party!
We couldn’t be more thrilled to promote this gem of an entertainment spot, and cannot wait to see the impact that this “little slice of heaven” has in Northern Colorado! *See our slide show below...

We love this venue and hate to hear that some folks don't realize that they can host their event or wedding here because they think it's closed to the public. NOT TRUE. You do have to be a country club member to golf at the Greeley Country Club - but you do NOT have to be a member to host a party there!  The Greeley Country Club is diverse in it's offerings. For weddings, you have a choice of 3 different ceremony locations. They are all-inclusive, no heavy lifting on your part or additional fees! Dressing rooms for the bride and groom are available, and there of course are many different food and beverage packages to choose from! Also for weddings, they offer 3 packages that vary in inclusions - also really nice to have!
For all events, the Greeley Country Club offers numerous menus to fit every palette and every budget. We find their pricing to be very reasonable! We are especially impressed by their bar packages! As event planners, we see a lot of pricing variety, and read tons of contracts. Their hosted bar pricing is impressive. Best of all, their packages are easy to read - very straight forward. We think you'll find them very easy to work with! 
Knowing that the holiday season is nearly here, we recommend that folks book their venue ASAP! The Greeley Country Club should be on your list of favorite venues to host at! They offer a number of rooms that can host your group- large or small. From 20 guests to over 200, you can find a space that will fit your needs.
