We had an indoor winter wedding at Tapestry House, and it was absolutely beautiful! The staff members were very helpful through the planning stages, and they did a great job bringing everything together flawlessly on our wedding day. This venue is definitely worth a five star rating!! =)

The Tapestry House did amazing job at our wedding! The entire staff are not only amazing people, but EXTREMELY good at their jobs. No detail was overlook, no worry of ours was trivial, and nothing could have prepared us for what an amazing time we had! Form the moment we met for our first tour, to the moment we walked down the aisle they worked to make the day as special and as worry free as possible. We truly appreciated their professionalism and helpfulness. No amount of words or testimonies could do just to the venue or staff justice. We highly recommend The Tapestry House to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Colorado, you wont be disappointed!

The staff at the Tapestry House were wonderful to work with. It is a litle pricey, but the value is extraordinary. I am happy with this venue.
GUEST




Daniel and I held our ceremony and reception at the Tapestry House on February 20th and we could not have been more pleased. To be honest after going to an open house at Tapestry House we loved it so much we did not even look at any other locations before deciding to book it. The staff is absolutely amazing they answered our questions with patience and knowledge. Stephanie and Bridget are wonderful to work with. It was a perfect day largely due to them. I am so happy that we choose to have our wedding at Tapestry House it was more beautiful than I could have imagined.

GUEST




The Tapestry House is a gorgeous place for an outdoor wedding!! It was truly romantic & beautiful & peaceful. The staff at the Tapestry House was very responsive with last minute questions & changes to guest count (always answered the phone during business hours & quick email responses). We worked very closely with Stephanie, who was friendly, professional, and ensured everything ran smoothly. All of our requests were honored & on the crisp fall morning, the staff provided warm fleece blankets for our chilly guests!! Fantastic venue! Caring staff!! Highly recommend!!!

Caroline,
We are so happy to hear that you were happy with your wedding! Your kind words mean the world to us! You, Todd, and both of your families were a pleasure to work with and even on a chilly day, your wedding was absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad we were able to share that special day with you, Stephanie
GUEST




The Tapestry House is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect place for a wedding, I lost track of all of the comments about how beautiful the venue was :) Our wedding there was more than I could ever ask for and the staff was SOOO amazing. They handled some minor problems (with other vendors) with the utmost professionalism to the point that I didn't even know about the issues until after the fact, and they made sure that everything happened the way that we wanted. The date we chose was a bit expensive, but I think that is true everywhere for the same date. They were a 10!
Vendor response to review
Congrats to both you and Brendan, Mollie! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and the two of you were absolutely wonderful to work with! I'll never forget the shepherd's hooks that lined your aisle and what a presence they created!! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and are so glad we were able to share in such an important day in your life! ~Stephanie
GUEST




The Tapestry House helped me plan my wedding in one month and it couldn't have been more perfect if I'd had a year. They did a wonderful job and took care of all the details for me. Planning my wedding couldn't have been easier. The people were great to work with, quick to respond to questions and guided me through all the things I needed to do. The day itself went flawlessly and was well coordinated. They also put me in touch with other vendors who were also wonderful to work with and had the same high standards that The Tapestry House set for themselves. I would highly recommend them for any event. The venue is absolutely beautiful.
Vendor response to review
Tanya,
Thank-you so much for your feedback. We really enjoyed working with you and Fred! It would have been nice to get to know you even better, but as you said, a month to plan everything was really quick! We wish you the best of luck, and will keep Fred in our thoughts and prayers for his safe return home ~ Bobbie
GUEST




The Tapestry House was amazing. It is so gorgeous and you get so much for your money. Included in the fee is both the ceremony and reception site.
All the chairs are included for the ceremony and there is a beautiful gazebo. If you have flowers/decorations, they have some very nice pillars they can also put out. They told me that in case of rain they can immediately move everything inside, or if it's light they have umbrellas for guest use.
For the reception, everything you need is included (except the food, of course)! You have tables and chairs, as many as will accommodate your guests, as well as linens, napkins, flatware, silverware, cups/glasses, several glass holders to choose from for centerpieces, a buffet table, and a cake table.
They also provide a gift table and table for guest book, programs, etc. Not to mention, you get to use the house before the wedding. They have a room provided for the bridal suite and a room for the groom. They go over every aspect of the wedding with you at your walkthrough and come out with an exact time line.
All of the staff were so nice and helpful. They made the day go by smoothly! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to get married.
GUEST




The Tapestry House made my wedding planning so easy. They manage everything from the color of the linens to fixing your veil right before you walk down the aisle. Also, when you book with them they give you a list of their preferred and proven vendors which helps with every other part of the planning as well. It was the perfect venue for my wedding of 120 guests.
GUEST




I got married almost 2 years ago and people are still talking about our wedding! It truly was the fairytale every girl dreams of! Everyone who worked at the Tapestry House was nice and did everything they could to make our day perfect! I would high recommend the Tapestry House to anyone!
GUEST




The Tapestry House goes above and beyond to make your day special and stress-free in every way. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone.
GUEST




Tapestry House provided a PERFECT venue for our wedding. The staff is super helpful, flexible, and easy to work with. The grounds is SO gorgeous and taken care of. A wedding any time of the year would be stunning. Having a room to get ready in was also a bonus, and having the reception in the same place was sooo worth it!
GUEST




Tapestry House is the perfect place for a wedding. They are very reasonably priced compared to their competitors, and such a beautiful place!! All your pictures will turn out gorgeous!

Hey Sara-

Thank you for helping my husband and I have the best day of our lives on our wedding day 8/14/10. The Tapestry House really is a magical place - that felt so right to us. In the beginning we looked at wedding sites and services online. We were working on setting up a tour at the Fort Collins Marriot and considering checking out the Sylvan Dale Ranch. Although neither website spoke to us the way the Tapestry House did. I remember going home for Christmas and showing the website pictures to my family and we were all in awe. We scheduled our appointment to come tour in April - and we just fell in love with the place. We booked it instantly without having to look anywhere else. It was even more gorgeous in person than it was online, which says a lot! Your website is very appealing to the eye, inviting, clean, organized and informative. It reflects very well what you have to offer your clients.
Everything about our experience was perfect . It was wonderful to be able to use the house to get ready and eat lunch prior to all the activities. We were able to relax and feel right at home.
I just loved the ceremony location. It wasn’t too hot, with just the right amount of shade. The ceremony was gorgeous with the wedding party lined up on the porch prior to walking down. I loved how Dad and I came out of the front doors. What an amazing entrance! I was nervous before walking through the doors, and the very tall slender brunette who was working that day was very helpful in making me feel more calm. She was very complimentary on how things looked and what good choices of music I selected. It really made me feel good to take my mind off of my nerves. I didn’t need to add extra flowers for the ceremony besides the bouquets and bouteniers, because of all the color the venue brings - with its flowers and the house too! Also I wanted to add that the music packet was SUPER helpful…I think it’s great that you provide that for your clients.
I appreciate the staff immensely! Anytime leading up to the wedding – if I had a question or concern via phone or email, I could count on getting an instant response. That’s extremely helpful when you’re planning a wedding and juggling all those details! I never felt like I was being annoying and was oftentimes complimented on how great it was to work with me due to my organization. I have to admit, you start to wonder if you’re getting annoying when asking so many questions. But NEVER did feel under appreciated by the Tapestry House staff!
I love the reception space with the lights in the ceiling. The layout is perfect, how the walls open up and you feel the outside air the whole night. Everyone did a really great job setting up the tables and alternating the two colored napkins. It looked incredible. I also liked the vases provided on the head table for the bouquets. That really helps cut cost when you’re able to display the flowers there.
I would suggest asking the couple how they would prefer to get their deposit back. Ours was sent to a credit card account that was closed. It was really confusing, trying to track down the money and having to call different credit card companies to iron it out. I would’ve preferred to get a check or provide you with the most current credit card information we have.
All that being said, it was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE….and I don’t think it could’ve been as successful without such an incredible venue and staff to work with. I hope you don’t mind me being very thorough with the details. I just want to communicate everything so you can continue to exceed each clients expectations. I hope to do business with you again one day – perhaps a big anniversary party! ….and I just hope to be invited to another wedding at the Tapestry House to experience the magic all over again.
I cant thank you all enough!!
PS: I wanted to add that the bridal show you hosted was very lovely and helpful. Our honeymoon with “All About Honeymoons” was the best trip of our lives. I found them at your bridal show, so thank you!!!
Vendor response to review
Congratulations, Pam and Ian! And thank you so much for your kind words! We truly did appreciate working with you and your family to create the perfect wedding for you! Hearing that you were so happy is a treasure to us and we hope that one day we are fortunate enough to see you at our site again!

Tapestry House was everything I'd hope'd it be. The wedding planner lady that came with it was very helpful. I didn't have anything super specific that I wanted so it was nice to be a few options and then just pick one. I know a bunch of people that have been married there... the only weird thing is that it looks very much like my own and and those who have been to several weddings there say it's like going to the same one twice. But that doesn't change anything for me: I loved getting married there. The main reason I got married there was they could move us inside if the weather was bad! The second reason was the beautify of the location and the third was having the ceremony and reception site on the same property. I had nothing to worry about.
GUEST




As was mentioned before, Tapestry House is an amazing venue. They make sure everything is the way you want it before the wedding, and on the day of the wedding everything went smoothly! Everything was set up so nice, and the staff was very friendly and professional! I am so glad we chose the TH. Everyone complimented on how much they enjoyed their time there. It was so beautiful!
GUEST




The Tapestry House is a must if you want an outdoor wedding. I was married in August, and they did everything for me. They made the stress of planning my wedding non-existent. They were prompt, and always helpful. I travel for work and they were more than happy to help me anyway they could while I was away. They are organized, pleasant, and you will not regret trusting The Tapestry House. Bridget, the coordinator, is an amazing person. Not only was she helpful, but she was great with my niece, and everybody at our wedding. Judy, who gave us our initial tour, was quick to help my mom bussell my dress. We did not have to ask her, she showed the initiative to help, and saved us 15 minutes of bussell time. As for the rest of the staff, they were polite and very helpful. I would recommend The Tapestry House to everyone.
GUEST




I was extremely happy we went with the tapestry house for our wedding! My new husband and I recently moved to Rochester, NY last year, but we still wanted to get married in Colorado because most of our family and friends were there. The tapestry house made it so easy for us to plan our wedding long distance, we were able to do everything over the phone! Once we arrived in Colorado, the were very accommodating to all of our last minute decisions that would have normally been done months prior to the wedding. During our wedding, the woman that was running the event was so helpful, she always made sure I had everything I needed during the reception (I think I sent her back to the house a couple times to get stuff for me). It was worth every dime we spent!
GUEST




We loved getting married at the Tapestry House. It is a stunning house with gorgeous landscaping and beautiful ceremony/reception places. There are so many great places around their property for pictures. It was everything I wanted in a wedding location, and it made our special day feel like a dream.
GUEST




In my opinion, no vendor can beat the Tapestry House. My wedding was so memorable, not only for me and my family, but for the guests as well. What an amazing place for such an amazing day!
GUEST




Tapesty House made it possible for my husband and I to have the most beautiful wedding EVER. Their gardens, the house, the views it was all so beautiful....perfect.
GUEST




My husband and I were married at Tapestry in June 2007. Being young and having to be responsible for the entire financial aspect of the wedding, we wanted to find a good deal. Northern Colorado was definitely the location of choice, and The Tapestry House was a venue we fell in love with. Due to not being able to afford a weekend date, we opted for a mid-week ceremony (Wednesday), and were very pleased with our entire experience. We were thankful for a weekday option, the awesome customer service, and overall memorable experience. We would highly recommend The Tapestry House to anyone interested in experiencing a wonderful wedding day!
GUEST




Tapestry House is a beautiful location for an outdoor wedding! The day of the wedding they took care of everything, and it was such a relief. The reception was set up beautifully and just as we wanted it. Their wait staff was absolutely outstanding!

GUEST




the location was beautiful. We had a few minor flaws but the staff was wonderful and helped us to make our day truly special. they made sure everything was taken care of and made it a nice and relaxed day for me as well as my husband and our families.
GUEST




The location is beautiful and has a victorian feel to it. The staff took care of just about everything and were very easy to work with. My only complaint is I felt we were rushed out at the end. If you can afford it I would book it for the whole day!
Vendor response to review
Meredith,
I am sorry if your timeframe made you feel rushed at all. In 2009 we changed all of our timeframes to allow more time at each event. This has made the difference for all the brides to have adequate time, and not feel rushed. Thank-you for your review on wedding wire, and we wish you a wonderful married life! Bobbie




The Tapestry house was a beautiful venue with friendly and helpful staff! They do a great job of decorating and working with other vendors that will help with your wedding.
GUEST




Don't get me wrong, this place was absolutely beautiful and I have no regrets. I only have a few issues. All they provide is a place to have your wedding and reception, you the customer have to get the caterer, bar tender, buy the alcohol, band or dj, etc. Also, the time limit is so short. You can only be there from 4- 10:30 pm. So I did my pictures before and after the ceremony and I got ready somewhere else.And your wedding can't start before 6pm. so they can clean up from the wedding before. It went really fast!!!
Vendor response to review
We are so sorry your timeline was to short for your wedding. Since 2008, we have revamped most event timeframes to be a minimum of 8 to 9 hours. We have not had any complaints of the times being to short since then. All events either end at 11pm or 12am, for evening events. We thank-you for your feedback and continue to look for ways to improve our overall service!
Tapestry House is truly a Beautiful venue nestled in Laporte,CO. I have done several weddings here and absolutely love the staff they are fantastic women to work with! They have a wonderful house/bridal suite to get ready in and great lighting! I have seen nothing but happy brides at this venue!
Truly a wonderful Northern Colorado Venue. Helpful and friendly staff. Willing to go above and beyond for their Bride's and Groom's. Tapestry House is a wise choice when planning your special day. They are stay on top of all the details. The landscaping is beautiful! Always a pleasure to work with them!
Amazing property, wonderful owners.
Definitively one of the most beautiful place in Colorado. Their garden is gorgeous.
It is always a pleasure to go to The Tapestry house!
Year after year, wedding after wedding - an incredible staff at such a photogenic location. So many happy couples have celebrated below the giant trees and twinkly lights and I'm honored to have captured a number of them.
Tapestry House is a wonderful Victorian House setting on a historical Overland Trail. Staff are
very helpful! I've officiated at weddings here for many years.

The Tapestry House is one of my favorite venues to photograph a wedding. There are so many photo opps on the property that in four years of doing weddings there I have yet to exhaust all my photo ideas. The staff is wonderful and the property is very clean.

I have officiated weddings here for years and they are always an absolute pleasure to work with and I can honestly say I have had nothing but positive experiences every single time I'm there!

FAQ for Tapestry House & Event Center
Being Colorado, you understand that things can change in literally a moments notice! We have several options when Mother Nature is
calling. For a light rain we can bring out our clear umbrellas for the guests & family to use. For heavier rain or winds, we can easily
transition the ceremony from outside to the covered and heated patio area. With more advanced planning we can have the ceremony in
the main dining room. For chillier days & months we have nice fleece blankets that are provided to guests when an outdoor ceremony is
desired. When it is determined we need to use blankets, umbrellas, or even bring a ceremony indoors, there is never an additional
charge.
Do you have an alternative indoor ceremony location?
Yes. Our main dining room in the reception area transforms into a beautiful ceremony location. This area will comfortably hold 130
guests for the ceremony with a long elegant bridal isle, soft acoustics, and thousands of twinkle lights. Our Covered Terrace also works
well as a ceremony location and is outdoors, but offers the protection of walls & heaters when needed. This area can hold approximately
160 guests for a ceremony. For bigger groups we will use a combination of the two rooms.
Do I need to hire a DJ or live musicians to play ceremony music?
This is entirely up to you. Our staff is trained to play any music you provide to us on a CD and will do so without any additional charge.
The sound will be played through 6 BOSE speakers and we will also provide a separate system with microphones to amplify your vows.
However, if you desire live music, such as a string quartet, guitar, piano, or harp, you are welcome to hire whomever your budget
allows. We also welcome the opportunity for friends and family to be your musicians and will help them in any way we can without
additional charge.
How many staff from Tapestry House will be working my event?
This will vary greatly based on group size. For an average wedding of 100 we would have 2-3 staff on the set-up for the event. There
will be a ceremony coordinator present throughout the ceremony portion and an event manager for the reception. In addition, there will
be another 3-4 in support staff throughout the evening who will assist the ceremony coordinator and event manager as needed. Outside
of the actual event we also have three full time office staff, two full time grounds/maintenance workers, two housekeepers/ laundry staff
and an off-site billing & contract administrator who are all critical to the planning and execution of your event.
Do I need to hire a wedding planner?
This question is very subjective. Here at Tapestry House we do offer unlimited event planning assistance from start to finish. Our staff is
expertly trained to handle just about every detail the day of the wedding. We will do all of the set-up for the event, coordinate the
ceremony, play the music, cue the bridal party, implement bad weather plans, attend to vendor needs, and make sure the reception goes
smoothly. These are all services most venues do not provide or charge as an additional fee (often up to $1000). If you feel like you need
professional guidance through every step of the planning process, then we would recommend hiring a planner who is professional and
full-time in his/her field.
How come you don’t provide food?
We feel each client should have endless choices for what they want served. This will allow the most flexibility within a budget and
offers the most value to the client. In addition, this allows family to self-cater their own events; something we would not be able to
allow if we also became the food service provider.
Do you do more then one event at a time?
With weddings, the answer is NO. We feel all families should have the entire venue and our attention exclusively for this special day
without any interference from other events or uninvited guests. That being said, with small corporate and business events, there are rare
times when we have two events happening at the same time.
