We could not have asked for a better venue or team for our wedding. The venue is beautiful - our guests still haven’t stopped talking about it. It’s well taken care of with improvements happening every day. The team is PHENOMENAL; kind, accommodating, helpful, fun - our guests are still talking about them too! We had to push our wedding, as did many couples, and Kathy, Mandy and the entire crew helped us without a second thought. They did everything they could to help us, to make us feel comfortable, and even went above and beyond for the “inconvenience.” They’re the best.

Response from La Joya Dulce Barn & Ranch Weddings:

Siobhan - Thank you so much for your kind words! Can't wait to see you soon!

I held our wedding reception at La Joya Dulce 10/6/2018, and I want to tell all the future Mrs. out there how incredible it was to celebrate our wedding at LJD! First of all, just look at the pictures. It’s absolutely stunning, all year round. We started planning last January, and have been out in each season since, and I think it’s only gotten prettier every time I see it. There are so many great, beautiful venues out there, but I honestly don’t know that any of them could top the level of dedication Kathy and Mandy give to their brides. They were by my side from our very first email, and I can say I never even waited more than 12 hours to hear back from them when I had a question, or concern, or just plain bride- anxiety. I would say one of my only regrets from planning my wedding was being too stubborn to hire Mandy as my day of coordinator sooner. Mandy exceeds every definition of a “day-of coordinator”- she is professional, reliable, and was an integral part of keeping things moving smoothly when the weather changed its mind the week of our wedding. Beyond that, Mandy brings a calm to the storm that is wedding planning, and is a great voice of reassurance when things get stressful. Kathy and Wayne (the owners of LJD) are the kind of people you who make you feel like family the day you walk in the door, and will go above and beyond in every way to make sure you have the day you have always dreamed about. I can’t say how happy I am to have taken the chance on this “pretty new” venue in Steamboat- our wedding day was just an absolute dream.

Jess -
