Highlands Ranch Mansion

I love how the mansion has unique bathrooms and rooms, it was pretty fun visiting. Not much of a food option, many times. The place is nice to take photographs at. It's always busy.

This is a hidden gem in my backyard. Yes it's an event center but you can also just go walk around on your own or get a free tour by a very knowledgeable docent. I took my mom and daughter to just look around but we were greeted by such a nice lady who couldn't wait to give us a full fledge tour. There is a lot of history to learn and lots of cool period pieces to see. The grounds are beautiful, we also took a little hike around the park. I'll make this a weekly haunt of fresh air and beauty.

Truly unfortunate, but this beautiful venue is a terrible place to have your wedding. The Highlands Ranch staff is rude and unaccommodating; the manager Jennifer is particularly terrible, with a dour, put-upon attitude from the beginning of the evening. The wedding party arrived at 1:52pm and was forced to stand outside for 8 minutes because "they don't open the doors until 2pm." While getting ready, the bridal party asked for water and a bottle opener; we were told that the venue would not provide these and we should have "read the contract" (they provided the beer/wine that we could not open). The bar was closed without any announcement 30 minutes before the end of the wedding; literally one minute after (10:31pm) we were refused any additional beverages. Many other guests cited bizarre and rude interactions with staff.Look elsewhere for your wedding. It's infuriating and disgusting how they treat the people who are literally paying their salaries like children and refuse to be accommodating.

Lovely grounds and well kept. However, if you plan on getting married here note that the 12 pm deadline is extremely strict- I was heartbroken on my wedding night when the DJ forgot to do our last song and it was 12:02 and the mansion manger would not allow one last song due to sound ordience in the neighborhood . Funny tho because two old random ladies showed up just walked right into our wedding and drank our wine and no one said anything! Also very strict on set up times and other strange rules.

Beautiful estate!We recently visited the mansion for a wedding and loved the venue. I was blown away by the architecture and clear craftsmanship that went into building it. There's a small spot out back with a gazebo for the actual wedding with plenty of space for a cocktail hour. Inside there's an odd mixture of old school yet modern furniture but it works. This is a great venue for any number of guests. The wedding we attended had 100 people and staff paid attention to each one of us. The bar tenders were quick and friendly throughout the night. Staff also checked beforehand dinner as to who had ordered GF or vegetarian options. Towards the end of the night stuff cleared up quickly and didn't miss a beat. I would love to return to this venue for any reason. The views are breathtaking! I only wish we would've explored more of the mansion.

I attended a wedding at Highlands Ranch Mansion back in February, pre-COVID. No masks or hand sanitizer needed to enjoy the nuptials of two beautiful friends. The venue itself is a former family estate (not surprisingly, in Highlands Ranch) and in-between the wedding ceremony and the reception, I checked out some of the old photos and placards that talked about the former owners who took a farm and built out a very fancy private property for horse riding and entertaining in a country home/manor style estate before this became an event space. This was a classic wedding, 5 pm ceremony (starting on-the-dot at 5!), followed by a cocktail hour with appetizers, then a seated reception. My favorite part was the ceremony itself and the cocktail hour, as we could wander around this beautiful, historic home with a glass of chardonnay in-hand. Note that if you're coming from Denver, it's a good 45+ minute drive. And the entrance situation is a little odd, most of the doors to get in are locked and it took us awhile to figure out how to get "IN" the building. But once we were there, it was a very unique and beautiful space for a winter wedding.

What an incredible place! My niece got married here! The estate is just beautiful! We came back a couple of days later for a tour. The history is amazing. It's had multiple owners & each has remodeled. Tours are Tuesday & Thursday - led by docents. Very knowledgeable - she loved doing it & it showed. The mansion is huge & the grounds are manicured. I could move in right now!

This place is beautiful! The staff is amazing! Attended an awesome event here and can only imagine what a wedding would look like here. Horses were running in the back pasture, there is an unreal view of the mountains during sunset...such a great place with lots of history!

We drove 1 hour to come here for pictures and a rude staff member decides to approach us and say we can't take pictures and that we need a reservation in which we didn't know and we asked if we could have just one picture and she decides to say no in a very disrespectful way. Never coming here again.

Great swanky historical venue but is not run properly. I guess it's just our tax dollars at work. Very strict rules like one would expect but they don't need to treat patrons as children.If you plan to have your wedding there in the summer the air-conditioning in both the bride and groom's dressing rooms does not work well. The grooms area was 78° all day and the brides dressing quarters was very similar in temperature. It was not all that hot on our wedding day, less than 90° outside.There is no running water in the groom's dressing room to speak of... only a tiny tiny trickle of water comes out of the sink. There is only one temperature (cold) by design. Operations manager had the temperature in the reception area cranked up as well. She only addressed it once we kept propping the doors open to let in some cooler night air. She made the comment that we never complained about the temperature. We didn't complain because the bride and groom's areas AC units were unable to keep up and we assumed the same for the reception area. Once the all powerful wizard adjusted the temperature, it cooled down but perhaps too little too late.It's our opinion that they could make some improvements to this property even though it is a historic building. Management could also drop the attitude. This is not a cheap venue and they could act accordingly. They could also afford to purchase a portable bar to class things up a bit. A folding table does not constitute a bar.
