“Better Than I Could Have Ever Imagined”: What Couples Say About Their Wedding at Younger Ranch

The Pikes Peak view, the old barns, and Gina and Rex looking after every detail. Here’s what couples, their families, and the photographers who work here say, in their own words.

★★★★★

“This was the 1st and only venue my husband and I toured before we jumped on it and went under contract. … The Pikes Peak view from the center of the arch at the ceremony site was breathtaking. … I could not have pictured a better venue for our once in a lifetime day!”

Kaylee · WeddingWire

★★★★★

“As a wedding photographer, I’ve traveled to and worked at many wedding venues throughout Colorado. Younger Ranch is without a doubt one of the top 3 venues that I’d recommend to any client … Gina and Rex are some of the most whole-hearted, hard-working and kind people you will ever meet.”

Echo, wedding photographer · Google

★★★★★

“We had a torrential rainstorm on our wedding day with high winds. Rex worked out to stack hay around the pole barn for us, creating an absolutely magical back-up ceremony site. It was so gorgeous that most of our wedding guests had no idea that the ceremony wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. You won’t get this kind of caring attitude and attention to detail when working with many venues.”

“Younger Ranch was so perfect for our wedding. Everything was beautiful and the view of the peak at the ceremony site will steal your heart! Gina Younger was such a pleasure to work with, answering all our questions and always responsive. I will be recommending this venue to my friends and family.”

“Younger Ranch was a dream venue! The ceremony site frames Pikes Peak, but even in bad weather you have gorgeous backups– a hay barn or big red barn. The venue makes for amazing pictures with the antiques, red barn, mountain view, and trees. The bridal suite and groom’s teepee are also set up perfectly for pictures. Every aspect of the venue is thoughtful and gorgeous! The guests have also raved!”

“If you’re even considering Younger, just book them. Do it, like now. … Gina is an absolute gem of a human being and I don’t know what I’d do without her. … Thank you both for your kindness and love and for allowing us to have the absolute perfect day on your ranch”

“As far as rustic Colorado weddings go, this is the pinnacle. When I say the ceremony is picture perfect it’s not hyperbole … The barn is rustic yet well maintained and powered, great outdoor area and lovely staff.”

“What beautiful views from the ceremony site. Our daughters main wish for her wedding was a mountain view. She got that from this site. … Watching her & her dad drive up the mountain while we all watched & waited was an emotional moment. When she stepped out with a huge smile we knew it was all worth the wait.”

Suzanne · WeddingWire

★★★★★

“Younger Ranch is the perfect venue! It is just stunning! We just had our wedding there and it was a dream come true. The ceremony is on top of a hill with pikes peak as the background. And The barn is absolutely beautiful. Gina and her husband have out done them selves with all the work they have put in. They have added so much character to the ranch that it will leave you speechless.”

Danice · The Knot

★★★★★

“The moment I pulled up at the Ranch and had a look around I got excited. … This venue really is the full package and it has the feel of something real and unique, not like a wedding venue franchise that just churns out events. … The ranch has been in their family for 5 generations.”

“Wow, what a beautiful place to have a wedding! We wanted more of a “rustic” wedding venue for our daughter rather than a typical, boring hotel ballroom and Younger Ranch was exactly what we were looking for. The ceremony location overlooks the meadows of the ranch with Pikes Peak in the background – just spectacular. … Gina and Rex made the entire experience easy and stress free. This was a day we, and our guests, will remember and treasure forever.”

Robert · WeddingWire

★★★★★

“This is an amazing venue with a view! I really like the ceremony site being up on a hill and then moving down to cocktail and then preceding on to reception barn that is spacey and a clean slate to decorate the way you want! The silo bar is a great addition to the patio with the fire pit!!!”

Ryann · The Knot

★★★★★

“The Youngers & Younger Ranch are THE BEST. We dealt with inclement weather the day of our wedding and had to move the ceremony into the reception barn, but it turned out dreamy as could be. The Youngers are the epitome of professional and personal, and kept in touch with us all throughout the planning process. We are so grateful for everything they did for us!”

Rachel · WeddingWire

“Our wedding was perfect, the venue was beautiful and the small touches that we didn’t even expect around the venue made our day so special. We never know how vendors will vibe with same sex couples, but we always felt comfortable with Rex and Gina and we were treated as good as any couple getting married would expect.”

Sherrice · The Knot

★★★★★

“I just recently photographed a wedding here and I LOVE this venue! Truly one of the best rustic and barn venues I’ve been too. This venue takes rustic to a new glamorous level and has so many unique components to their property. The owners are so sweet and made sure everything went smoothly for my bride and groom- even hunting down umbrellas to keep the bride dry. Everything about this place is picture perfect.”

“There truly aren’t any words that accurately express how wonderful our experience was.
