What Makes Vista View Events at Open Heart Ranch Stand Out?
1. Unmatched Mountain Views: The panoramic views from Vista View Events are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re exchanging vows under the open sky or hosting your reception in the barn, the mountain landscape is a stunning backdrop for every moment.
2. Elegant Barn and Outdoor Spaces: The venue features a 5,000-square-foot white wedding barn with ample space for your ceremony and reception. The barn’s contemporary yet timeless design allows for endless décor possibilities, while the outdoor patio offers a peaceful, scenic setting for cocktails or an outdoor ceremony.
3. Thoughtful Inclusions: The venue offers all the essentials to make your day go smoothly, including an inventory of chairs, tables, cocktail tables, and décor items such as arbors. Plus, there’s a getting-ready suite, perfect for capturing those intimate moments before you walk down the aisle.

They believe in making these stunning mountain weddings available to everyone, without compromising on luxury or style. “We also believe in sharing our expertise openly—you won’t find any gatekeeping here,” says Kinsey. This transparent approach means you’re supported every step of the way, and no detail is left out.
Some Tips from the Venue Owner
I heard from Kinsey Roberts, venue owner, and asked her about the wedding experience. Every venue is unique, especially in the mountains of Colorado. When I asked her about advice to couples to make their time at Vista View memorable, here is what she shared:
1. Think Beyond the Basics: Enhance Your Guests’ Experience
Mountain weddings often mean out-of-town guests. Build time into your timeline for them to explore and enjoy the area. Plan group activities like hikes or scenic drives so everyone can soak in the stunning surroundings.
2. Plan for Altitude and Logistics
Altitude at the venue is 6,400 feet, which can affect guests and vendors. Plan for altitude adjustment with plenty of water, and hire vendors experienced in mountain settings. Also, ensure transportation logistics are sorted, as mountain roads can be tricky.
3. Weather Contingencies
Colorado mountain weather can change quickly. Always have a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies, whether that’s a tent or an indoor space. Vista View offers beautiful indoor options to ensure your day goes smoothly no matter the weather.
4. Don’t Rush Your Timeline
Mountain light is magical but shifts quickly. Allow enough time for photos during golden hour—this will give you stunning images and a relaxed, beautiful experience throughout the day.
5. Hire Vendors Familiar with Mountain Weddings
Choose vendors who know mountain venues. They’ll be familiar with the unique challenges and logistics of working in this setting, helping ensure a smooth, stress-free day.
