My daughter was married at Willow Ridge Manor in October and the entire event was flawless. Gregory was so friendly, and easy to work with; he made the planning and execution of the event extremely easy. We worked with Jay at LifeStyles Catering and the extensive menu options were incredible. I got nothing but compliments from guests all night that the venue was gorgeous and the food delicious. I would definitely recommend this venue and catering combination to anyone interested in hosting an event.

Willow Ridge Manor was the second venue my husband and I visited while we were beginning to plan our wedding, and we knew right away that this was where we wanted to have our wedding. The owner, Gregory, was polite, professional, and had an answer for every question that we had. When we needed to contact Gregory, he was always very quick to return phone calls and emails. The interior of Willow Ridge Manor is beautiful, with a spacious dining room, dance floor, and patio area. The bridal suite was incredibly spacious, with its own bathroom and vanity area, and the room for the groom was very nice as well. The exterior of the property is beautifully landscaped and cleaned, and Gregory works very hard to keep it looking at its best. All of the guests at our wedding had a great time, and we have Gregory and the rest of the staff at Willow Ridge Manor to thank for that.

I just wanted to write and say thank you! Our wedding was wonderful, and we were so thankful and lucky to be working with you. All the details were perfect. I appreciate your quick response to all of my questions prior and helping me with the planning. Thanks for bringing up details and asking questions that I never would have thought of. If we ever have to do another event, we will definitely look to work with Lifestyles Catering and Willow Ridge Manor....you were awesome!

Willow Ridge Manor is a wonderful place for a wedding! Gregory, who is the owner, makes everything very easy and straight forward. It is a gorgeous venue set in the foothills and not only has beautiful views, but is beautiful on the inside as well! There is a spacious bridal suite, as well as a space for the groom to get ready. We were married outside on the red rock patio, which was incredible. We would definitely pick this venue if we did it over again!

My daughter was married at Willow Ridge in May. I would highly recommend this venue! Beautiful and elegant, gorgeous views for pictures! We were a little hesitant with the inclusive catering; however Lifestyles Catering did an amazing job with our budget! They were right there all evening making sure that every detail was taken care of. We worked with Jay and he did everything possible to create a flawless evening! Hats off to you Jay and thank you for your attention to every detail!

Beautiful setting, indoors and out! Gregory has it all together with excellent recommendations for all your vendors. He handled the rehearsal for us and all the details on the wedding day with humor and professionalism. I have another daughter and hope she chooses Willow Ridge Manor, it was perfect!

We just got married at Willow Ridge on March 12, 2011 and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to get married at and to have our reception. Gregory is a wonderful person to work with and I would recommend him to anybody. He knows exactly what he's doing and isn't too overbearing and he is extremely helpful throughout the whole process. It means a lot to a bride when He too cries for you (as he did right before the ceremony began and he kissed me on the cheek)!!!I recommend Willow Ridge Manor to any bride and groom who are looking to have a smaller to medium sized wedding nestled against the foothills!

This place was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I have no regrets about anything from our wedding. We were married on Jan. 16, 2011, outside on patio in the snow. It was beautiful, not too cold, and perfect for pictures. Gregory, the owner, is just a fantastic guy who knows what he's doing. Lifestyles Catering was exceptionally good, and Kari and the crew did everything they could to make us happy... literally! (Kari held my crying baby niece during the ceremony so my sister could watch.) The food was so delicious and also was very well presented.It is just such a beautiful place, and it made my dreams come true. Good prices as well!!!

This place is amazing. Over 100 of our guests were from out of town. This was the perfect venue to give our out-of-town guests a taste of Colorado. One of our guests commented that no one would ever be able to top this venue. Frankly, I think WRM is better than having a mountain wedding. The place is amazing, unique, beautiful, and classy. Everyone is still raving about this venue. Also, Gregory, the owner, is extremely helpful and accomodating.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR WEDDING AT WILLOW RIDGE MANOR!

I have to say, Gregory and Jay are just fabulous! Right from the start, Gregory was exceptionally responsive. No matter how small or seemingly insignificant my questions were, he always called me right back and made sure that I was taken care of. The grounds are beautiful, I love the view from the red rocks outside, and the inside of the mansion is very elegantly decorated. We were going for a vintage look and it fit in beautifully.I can't say enough what a help Jay was on the day of the rehearsal and wedding. He kept things calm and moving smoothly. I was nervous enough about getting married, but didn't have to worry about the wedding itself because he was on top of it and keeping me in the loop. One of the other helpful things is Gregory has an excellent group of vendors that frequently work with him. I ended up using his suggested caterer, DJ, and florist and could not have been happier. The price and service was wonderful on each one.I only gave Willow Ridge a 4.0 on flexibility. This is because Gregory is highly meticulous about the mansion. I, personally, never once saw this as a draw back, but it is a factor. All in all though, I would suggest Willow Ridge to any one. It is a gorgeous location, has a ton of personality, beautiful surroundings, and wonderful service.

Talk about PERFECT. The setting is gorgeous out in the foothills of Colorado and the venue is so charming. I couldn't imagine a better place to marry the love of my life! Just wait until you get the pictures back of you and your new spouse on red rocks at sunset!

Absolutely wonderful wedding and everyone was so helpful and very organized. Please check this place out, it's so beautiful. We looked at many places in Colorado - Estes Park and by far I loved this one the best. I planned this wedding from Houston, TX but with the help of Gregory and Kari Lilley at Lifestyles, I really didn't have to plan much. Gregory, the wedding planner at Willowidge, gave me a list of vendors and I went solely by that list (not meeting any of them) and they were each and everyone PERFECT. I am very picky too! But, even the rehearsal was very well planned by them. BOOK EARLY though. I booked a year in advance and only one Saturday left in the two months that I wanted it. It's nice too because everything is provided within the costs. Plus, you can bring in your own alchohol which really drives down the costs.

I can not say enough about our experience at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison. When we were first looking for a venue for my daughter Whitney's wedding we were overwhelmed by all the choices that are out there. Whitney and Nate were clear on a few details that were important to them. First they wanted the ceremony and reception all in one place and they wanted only one event going on at the same time. We checked out a total of 5 different venues with Willow Ridge being the last. As the line in the movie Jerry McGuire goes "You had me with hello".Gregory Sargowicki the owner and wedding consultant immediately made us feel welcome and we were charmed by his amazing personality. We covered the things that were important to Nate and Whitney and Gregory assured us he could meet all those details. Then as we took a tour through the manor and then outside the views of the mountains and surrounding areas were breathtaking! We had found our perfect venue. As the months passed and we planned the day the mother of the groom and I had compiled a list of questions regarding specific details we wanted to make sure would be handled. Once again all our fears were immediately put to rest after meeting with Gregory. Today, the day after the wedding I am still in awe of how perfect the wedding was. Gregory's assistant Jay came to our rescue several times as one of the bridesmaids dresses zipper broke and he himself sewed the dress together. Then he ended up having to help us bustle Whitney's dress. He was there for the entire evening getting us drinks and completely engaged with every detail. Then comes the service staff, starting with Jessica our captain. She and her wait and bar staff were amazing. The plates and glasses were cleared without having to ask and they were so attentive to our every need. I would highly recommend Willow Ridge Manor to everyone I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks, Kristie Burnham

Wedding: 6/4/10
We celebrated the wedding of my daughter on 6/4/10. As mother of the bride I could not be more happy with Gregory (the proprietor) and Willow Ridge Manor! My daughter & I looked for wedding venues via the internet and in person for several weeks before running across WRM. After visiting WRM and talking with Gregory, my daughter had no doubt that this was the place for her wedding. Gregory was so personable and helpful in all aspects. The cost of the venue was very reasonable when compared to other venues we had toured. While my daughter & her fiance live in Denver, we are from out of town and her fiance's family were from out of state. Gregory provided us with a list of vendors and gave us his knowledge of working with them in the past which made decisions so much easier for us since I live out of town. With the exception of cake & florist vendors, all the vendors we used were listed and recommend by Gregory. We were extremely satisfied with ALL of the vendors. From our experience, I highly recommend Lifestyles Catering, DJ on Demand, and Holiday Inn Lakewood. Lifestystles Catering was amazing to work with, provided great communication, especially the two weeks prior to the event, and went out of their way to provide services for us that were above and beyond what we had expected. The took care of every detail which made the day of the wedding much less stressful and much more enjoyable. The food was exceptional and I received many compliments from our guests as to the professionalism and great service of the staff. DJ on Demand provided a fun and energetic atmosphere that had all our guests on their feet and dancing and all said they really enjoyed the music selection. I can't say enough about Holiday Inn Lakewood! This place came highly recommended by Gregory and I agree! Holiday Inn Lakewood was over the top friendly, accomodating, and so easy to work with. We had a large number of rooms booked for wedding guests and everyone was so pleased with the facility. I worked with guest services and since we had so many coming from out of town and state and not familiar with Denver, the hotel guest services suggested using a banquet room there for the rehearsal dinner, which we did! The food, staff, service, and just the whole hotel facility itself was amazing! It goes without saying how much the complimentary shuttle provided by the hotel for all wedding guests to and from WRM for the wedding was appreciated by all that took advantage of it. All our guests were very impressed with their stay there and complimented on how friendly and accomodating the staff was. Thank you Gregory for recommending all these very fine vendors and Jay for stepping in and being so professional, knowledgeable, and going over the top to make us all comfortable and stress free minutes before the ceremony... you rock!Our guests are still talking about what a beautiful wedding it was and how perfect the venue and setting were. Our family couldn't be happier and highly recommend Willow Ridge Manor.... it a very beautiful place!

I was married here recently and do not have one bad thing I can say about Willow Ridge Manor. In addition to the immaculate beauty of the venue, the service and staff were both accommedating and helpful. Gregory is such a wonderful person, if you ever get the chance to work with him; you will quickly understand why. I would recommend using the vendors that Gregory recommends as well; as these people are comfortable with the venue and wonderful to work with.I assure anyone interested in Willow Ridge Manor, your day will be above and beyond your expectations. Unforgettable.

We just recently got married here and all I have to say is incredible!!! This location was perfect for us as many of our friends and family traveled far for our wedding. They just loved how it was in the foothills/mountains but still close enough to Denver. Most of them said how incredible everything was from the view, to the space inside for the reception, to the incredible food (provided by Lifestyles Catering used at Willow Ridge). For us it was the most incredible experience because as a Bride I did not have to worry about anything. The catering company (Lifestyles Catering) took care of most of the decorations and table settings, while Gregory was like my wedding coordinator making sure that everything was running on time and letting me know while I got ready.My experience here was above and beyond what I expected!! I am the type of bride who wants to get what I pay for and not pay a ton of money for something that is not going to be great! So this location, and staff made everything exactly what I wanted and more!!Thanks Gregory & Lifestyles Catering!!
