We used the Bristlecone Inn for our day after wedding brunch. The venue is seated wonderfully in Estes Park and boasts views of the surrounding areas. It was quiet, even for being a block off downtown. The outside seating areas were wonderful and the inside seating areas provided ample room to move around comfortably. It was a very nice and peaceful atmosphere. Our caterer, Jubilations, seemed to have ample room to help make the event happen and we were grateful for their great partnership! We would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a small to medium sized event.

I just had my small wedding here and I couldn't have picked a better venue and caterer. They work so hard to make sure that your wedding goes smoothly and that you get to relax and enjoy yourself. My guests loved the food and the vast variety they offered. I loved that they packed me little on-the-go container for when we went to go do pictures so that I also got to enjoy the appetizers while I did the bride stuff! They truly care about the couples they serve and do everything they can to make your day special and perfect.

We got married at Bristlecone last month and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our meetings with staff leading up to the wedding had us feeling totally prepared and supported. And we loved how affordable the place was! There weren't a ton of hidden fees or charges for using things like their arch like the other venues we looked at which took a ton of stress away from us. The day of, the venue was gorgeous and the staff helped everything go as smoothly as possible, even when a family emergency put a wrinkle in things. The food was amazing, everyone had a fantastic time, and if we had to get married all over again we would still pick Bristlcone without question!

A giant thank you to “The Bristlecone Inn” and their cater “The Jubilations” for their perfect private venue, delicious food and professional service. It was a friendly atmosphere, the staff served us hors d’oeuvres on trays while our guest socialised during the cocktail hour. The bartender was local who was able to help our out-of- state guest with questions about Colorado and Estes Park. We had to plan our son’s rehearsal dinner from across the miles sight unseen with unfamiliarity at how to hostess this special event. Dawn Bodin made the planning easy every step of the way. What a special memory “The Bristlecone” was for us all!! John & Cindy

I can’t say enough amazing things about Jubilations and The Bristlecone Inn! We are from Texas so I thought planning our small elopement/ceremony would be such a headache. But NO it was so simple and I was blown away by how amazing the food, the venue, literally everything was. We had the most amazing time and so did our friends and family. I would 900000% recommend! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING OUR DAY SO SPECIAL 🤍🤍

We had our rehearsal dinner here in early September. The space is intimate and perfect for our 50 person dinner. The outdoor space provided room for everyone to spread out- our guests loved playing yard games and roasting s'mores. The staff was also wonderful to work with and made it a great evening overall. Parking can be a bit limited in the Inn's lot itself; however, there is nearby street parking/larger lots as well.
