Our wedding at Lucky 8 Ranch was amazing - we had ~150 guests, with almost everyone traveling from out of state. We were so satisfied with our decision to have the reception at Lucky 8, when we drove up and saw everything set up we knew it was the right choice. We decided on Lucky 8 after a few phone calls with the owner Nick, looking over photos, and reviewing the packages. There wasn’t any other venue that came close to matching the scenery, seclusion, location, convenience, and price point. It’s great that L8R offers different packages depending on what you want for your wedding. They provided an inventory of items to use including easels, LED light candles, and various other items for decoration and it looked beautiful.We took multiple visits to the ranch and saw it with and without the tent setup - bringing family and our coordinator to make sure everything was planned out. Nick and his staff were fantastic throughout the planning process, and his experience was helpful for selecting vendors in the Steamboat area. One of the best parts about working with L8R is the ease of communication and flexibility. You’re working directly with them and they make you feel like family.The location of the ranch was just right for us - it was super easy to get to & from Steamboat (it took our buses less than 30 min) but it’s secluded and private. The ranch is huge, so you’re not disturbed by anything going on around.On the day of our wedding, Nick and the staff were fantastic. The setup was great and they make it very special - all couples who have a wedding at L8R get to brand their initials in the fence. The weather was great (late July) and all of our guests loved hanging out in the yard. No one expected how beautiful it would be. The sunset was gorgeous, and all of our guests gawked at the beauty. They still talk about it to this day.We took a sunset photo trip on the side by side and got some incredible photos. We found the bison herd by the Aspen grove which made for some really cool shots.Overall, we would recommend Lucky 8 to anyone looking to get married in the Steamboat area. We hope that more couples keep making memories at L8R with their families and friends.Photos by Kate Shumaker Photography
