Recommendations

Wonderful venue, really wonderful staff. - An Eventective User

We needed a venue for a 30 person wedding with less than a month to plan. Kelsey Bailes at the Western Museum of Mining and Industry in Colorado Springs worked with my son and daughter-in-law in the Springs and with me and my husband in CA to get everything set up perfectly! The venue offers both indoor and outdoor space, easy parking for guests, plenty of space to get ready and lots of great options for photos.

Great place to have a work event!! - An Eventective User from Colorado Springs, CO

We held our work self improvement training in the Ranch Ore House. Our staff loved the rustic style of the barn and the assistance from Jaime, the Rentals Coordinator was top notch. She was there to set up our tables, chairs, projector, screen and helped get us connected to wifi so our event went smoothly. We will be back.
