The most amazing wedding venue! Darla, Jim, and his team were absolutely incredible. The venue was gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. We knew right away it was perfect for us. The front range view, the beautiful landscaping, and the indoor rustic reception site were marvelous. From all of the wedding details, we probably received the most compliments on how gorgeous our venue was, so you cannot go wrong. It helped so much to have so many elements included and taken care of- coordinator, tables and chairs, table cloths, napkins, bartender, servers, the arch, and many of the decorations. I didn't even feel the need to have a florist included in the day because of the landscaping and natural elements that were already part of Shupe. That helped a ton! We loved the feeling of being doted on and feeling so special and taken care of. A DEEP heart felt thank you to Shupe and the At Your Service Event Management Team. You make dreams come true!! read more

I was there with my husband and two children, ages 8 and 5, for a wedding. The venue had gorgeous views and was well-kept. However, the owner was extremely rude. She yelled at my children for running around the large yard during the cocktail hour. She made my daughter cry and then, in a coarse voice, said, "I don't know which one (children) are yours, but you must stay with them at all times. they cannot run around the open yard!" She also reprimanded my sister and her two children. The owner was not polite, making the wedding experience terrible for my family and me. She was not welcoming or professional. I would select another venue if you choose to have children at this venue. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Darla and Jim. The venue is absolutely beautiful! The landscape and views are stunning and it has a warm, inviting feel. Darla and Jim were with us every step of the way. We had plenty of help planning and got lots of guidance and suggestions when we asked for it. It felt like everyone was just as invested in our wedding as we were. On top of that, all of the rentals are included in the venue price and there were extra decorations we were able to use (for example, a card box and sign). Jim has an amazing ability to talk you through the stressful moments and was super communicative leading up to the big day. On the day of, we were wed, fed, hydrated, and happy. People just appeared with food and drinks without us having to ask for it. Even though things were shifting constantly, I did not feel any stress and it seemed like any "problem" that arose was an easy fix. Our day was truly perfect, everything we dreamed of, because of Darla and Jim. read more

We just had our wedding here in June of 2023. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and staff to be with on our special day!! Since day one of planning our wedding, the staff here was amazing to work with and made everything run so smoothly. It was the best day of our lives and are so happy we chose Shupe! read more

Our wedding day at Shupe was absolute perfection! The weather was horrible, which I was extremely stressed about, but Darla, Jim and their team made everything come together flawlessly. I had my heart set on an outdoor ceremony and they made it happen despite all odds. The venue is stunning but still very intimate and personal and everything that is included with Shupe is absolutely amazing!! Darla is such a sweet, kind woman who really puts all of your worries to ease and having Jim and his team to work with throughout the whole process was a godsend and I cannot thank them enough for making our day such a wonderful experience! read more

We could not have asked for a more BEAUTIFUL venue and an INCREDIBLE team that handles the weddings/reception. Jim and Darla and their team made a diving catch for us for the wedding. The DJ was not going to make it to the wedding ceremony, and was running very late. Between the whole Shupe team, they all worked together to download songs, run to find alternate speakers and a system, get everything set up outside and were on cell phones telling one another when to que up a song and when to change to the next one for the procession. It was absolutely seamless...and no one at the wedding would have known that it was not the DJ. They were remarkable and pulled it off!!!! THANK YOU!!!! As for the rest of the reception, bartenders, servers and staff...they were on top of everything. They were incredibly attentive to make sure that the bride and groom had everything that they needed, and were always checking in with us parents to make sure we were also well taken care of. The staff was beyond awesome, and they made our night super easy and extremely special! If you are looking for an beautiful place with incredible and easy to work with staff...then go check out Shupe Homestead. It is beyond amazingl! read more

We had been planning our wedding for over a year. A family friend had recommended the Shupe Homestead, and that recommendation changed our entire planning process. We immediately fell in love with the location, facilities and Darla and Ken. They both did everything humanly possible to make sure everything was perfect. The decor, timeline and services they offered were far above and beyond what other venues offered. But even that isn't the best part. The Shupe Homestead offered unobstructed views of the foot hills, its a quiet setting, absolutely beautiful . We had many out of state guests who were blown away by the scenery. Throughout that year long process, Darla made her self available to meet, let us visualize things and to meet with other vendors on the property. They made our day special and I cant recommend them enough for your wedding or party. read more

See all

We had the absolute best wedding at Shupe! It's such a beautiful space that is so well-maintained by the Shupes. There's stunning views of Long's Peak and a beautiful pond with lots of flowers, a very nice reception hall with a big wood bar, fireplace, and overall comfy cabin vibes. Darla was so helpful, accommodating, and easygoing through the whole process, she was so easy to work with! And when you book the venue, so much is included! You don't really need to rent anything unless you want to go a bit bigger. You can bring in whatever catering you like and there's no corkage fee on the alcohol. Jim, the coordinator, is included in the cost of the venue and is the very best. He and his team made our day go flawlessly. We got a ton of compliments on how beautiful it was, how well-organized it was, and how much fun it was! Honestly, we couldn't have asked for anything better. We planned from out-of-state and it ended up being fairly easy and straightforward with Jim and Darla's help. Note: there is not a place for everyone to get ready at the venue, but I really think that's a small price to pay for this place. read more

We had our wedding here last weekend. Darla and Ken Shupe are amazing to work with and the setting is breathtaking. We had our wedding outdoors on a picture perfect manicured lawn with Longs peak in the background. Large Trees have been strategically placed to shade the guests from afternoon sun but not block the view. The new reception center Darla and Ken have built is great, and was the perfect setting for our reception afterwards. There is a beautiful wood bar and plenty of room for all of our guests. The large west facing windows provided magnificent views of the setting sun over the mountains to the west. Our guests were ecstatic about the place, describing it as the most beautiful wedding they've ever been too. The day was perfect, and the hosts were amazing. I'd highly recommend Shupe Homestead! read more

This place has got to be the most hidden treasure of all wedding venues. I was looking for something classic, with indoor/outdoor capabilities and a great view of the mountains -- oh and at a reasonable price! Quite a tall order, but Darla made all my dreams come true! She let me use my own caterer and bring in alcohol, which saved a TON of money. The grounds are manicured perfectly and the views of the mountains are breathtaking. Keeping our guests entertained was a big concern, but this venue has the perfect amount of space to keep guests moving -- they started with the ceremony, moved to the other side of the pond for cocktails, and then inside for dinner. Darla was so easy to work with -- flexible, dependable and communicative. I'm glad I had my wedding here before this place becomes impossible to book! read more

We had a phenomenal wedding day at Shupe Homestead recently and are so grateful to the Shupe owners/hosts and their hired staff for everything they've done for us. We loved the venue, the people were great, and our guests had a great time. My husband and I were originally set to get married in summer 2015, but needed to push the wedding back until summer 2016. The Shupes were very understanding and accommodating and allowed us to move our date one full year without penalty, just a quick "no problem!" email. Phew! We had a little trouble getting the details on the venue (we live out of state and had only seen the venue in the winter) and the chairs, tables, etc. but once we connected with Jim, the day-of/staff coordinator, we had all the details we needed. We met with Jim and Darla, the owner, about five days before our wedding to go over all kinds of minute details, which was incredibly helpful for us. It helped us see what we'd overlooked and helped us prepare ourselves and our guests/bridal party much more effectively. The Shupe folks handled WAY more than we were expecting day of. We arrived early in the morning with decorations that needed to be separated. What was amazing was that the staff took care of almost all of our decorations after we left. We had some specialty decorations, including an LED chandelier and a complicated ceremony backdrop, but the candles and centerpieces and almost everything else was taken care of by the staff (with some help from family, too!). Any time we tried to lift a finger, someone was at the ready to help us. It took a huge load off! The wedding ceremony and reception went off without a hitch--the staff kept us on time, made sure we were fed and had a drink in hand, and helped gently guide us throughout our celebration. We really couldn't have asked for a better day. We went back a few days later to reminisce a bit, and Darla couldn't have been more welcoming. She let us walk around the property and gave us tons of space, but was also available when we had questions. Tons of pros to Shupe: - They have almost everything you need: chairs, tables, linens, serving platters, lights, indoor/outdoor venue, cutlery, glassware and so on. - They're experts! They know how to run a tight ship and make sure you can get what you want out of your wedding day. They set up our decorations beautifully and we didn't have to worry. - Darla was present on our wedding day and was a huge help. She even acted as my "blocker" when I was walking to meet my dad for the big walk down the aisle. "I'll block you so your guests won't see you until you're with you're dad." So kind. - The venue is just stunning. Longs Peak in the background, gorgeous grounds, and tons of mature trees to keep it cool on hot Colorado summer afternoons. - Staff! Everyone was lovely. - Almost all of our decorations made it back, and unscathed. I'm missing a few trinkets here and there, but that is the tax you pay when 20 other people do their very best to clean up in an hour and get things going home with the right people. - Rainy day/weather plan. That's the beauty of having a space that can accommodate both inside and outside events. - Sunset! So beautiful over the mountains. Tons of YES! A few cons: - No real candles allowed. Too many linens ruined by errant wax. This worked out fine for us--we just used LED candles, no biggie. - Additional charge if you want to have the ceremony outside AND eat outside (traditionally, their clients usually eat inside). - No hanging of extra lights strongly preferred (we worked with Darla to show her the chandelier ahead of time). The hall, however, has plenty of lights already strung, as does the outdoor area for the reception. Edison/market lights are hung and they look beautiful. - No ladder on the premises to use if you have high things to adjust/hang. You'll have to bring your own. - Guests must leave by 10 PM so the staff can wrap up and be gone by 11. It was perhaps an hour short for us, but you can work with the Shupes to adjust your wedding time and pay an additional fee for a slightly longer reception. However, I believe there are noise ordinances, since there are neighbors. - Very small bridal suite. We had to get ready offsite, which was a pretty big bummer. All other weddings I've been to have had separate spaces for the bride and groom and their respective people, and Shupe has a small room in the large hall. It can accommodate four people and it's a tight squeeze. Not great for many people doing makeup or hair, and it was squeeze with the photographer when I put my dress on. We had rented an Airbnb to get ready in that was about 10 minutes away. It worked out, but we would've vastly preferred an area to get ready at at Shupe. Huge thank you to the Shupe family and all of their incredible staff! We had an incredible time. read more

We just had our wedding here, and it was perfect! I had so many comments from guests and family on how beautiful the place is. So many wedding venues on the Front Range are gorgeous, but they feel like wedding factories that pump out multiple weddings a day. Shupe is not like that- it's just as beautiful a setting as anywhere else, but with a laid-back family feel. Darla the owner was kind and helpful through the whole process. She was easy to contact through email, she let us bring in decorations the day before the wedding, and she had the place ready to go on our wedding day, despite scattered thunderstorms. Not once did we feel rushed or uncomfortable. The other benefit of this space is the combination of outdoor and indoor settings, which proved useful when it rained a little on our wedding day. There are also accessible power outlets around the property, a kegerator, catering kitchen, and stage for a band or DJ- all details that made planning SUPER easy. We loved our wedding here- thank you to the Shupes! read more

I really enjoyed our tour here. We are deciding between a couple venues in Northern Colorado. Darla Shupe gave us our tour, when you pull up you aren't quite sure if you are in the right place. Their farm is off a dirt road, and there aren't any signs until you reach the actual address. There is only a sign that says "enter", my future mother in law was convinced we weren't at the right place. When we got there, we walked into the reception space and were SHOCKED. It was stunning! It's so pretty, with a fireplace and built in bar. It's not what you would expect. The ceremony space is pretty with lots of trees and a nice pond. The only negatives were no place for the bride or groom to get ready at the venue (they have a small bridal suite but too small for more than 2 girls to be in), and everything was set in stone for where it had to be (one place for reception, one place for cocktail hour, one place for venue). Darla was also very clear the bar opens AFTER the ceremony, which was a turnoff for us because we would like to serve one pre-ceremony cocktail per guest. She also said the bride and bridesmaids can wait in her house to see guests arriving (which is very nice, but doesn't really feel like a venue). The prices were great compared to other venues, and you can bring in WHOEVER you want for catering and you buy your own alcohol. Included in the package price is waiters, bartenders, tables, chairs, basic linens and basic tableware. It's a great deal, and you're close to Boulder for nice hotels for your guests. It's a gem, and it feels like a very fancy backyard wedding. read more
