Lionscrest Manor is a beautiful 50-acre mountain estate set in the heart of the Colorado foothills. Located in the town of Lyons, Lionscrest is an ideal mountain event destination for those who are looking for the amazing Rocky Mountain views with out the hours of driving to get them. Less than one hour from downtown Denver and just thirty minutes from Boulder clients and guests can enjoy the privacy of this mountain oasis.
Lionscrest has 16,000 square feet of space to create your perfect event. We have a lot of experience with event customization and helping you to utilize the venue to suit your needs. Below are a few ideas to help you in organizing your guests to make the most out of the ballroom and the rest of the facility.
The Forsberg Family built Lionscrest Manor in 1993 after attending a family member's wedding on the East Coast. With a house full of teenage girls, Bob and Leona thought about the future. They envisioned a home where their daughters' childhood dreams could come true; a home where they could live, work, play and entertain family and friends in the town their families have lived in for five-generations. Then they asked themselves: What fun would Lionscrest be if they could not share it with other families.
With Lionscrest we do not bill you for taxes on your package with us. If you are booking an Inclusive package additional taxes will apply for the catering, cake, liquor and florist. The tax rates are based on the vendors business location not the town of Lyons. Each vendor will bill you directly for the additional tax based on the items you book with them.

Lionscrest review Some people I talked with after signing our inclusive package contract with Lionscrest had one of 2 things to say "you are hiring a wedding coordinator too, right?" And "are you afraid the package may be too restrictive?" Neither of these was a problem. We cannot say enough great things about the value of the package and the excellence of the staff.

FLAWLESS! The staff, the venue, the food, and even putting up with a few tipsy wedding guests. I want to do it again! Thank you so much.

We got married at Lionscrest on March 26th and loved every second of it! From the beginning, Lionscrest stood out. We attended a few of their bridals shows and received a lot of good info. We ended up choosing the Colorado Inclusive Package and are so happy we did! All the vendors provided through the venue were great. The food was great, the decor was great, the drinks were great!

We worked with a few different ladies throughout our planning process with Lionscrest. Shannon helped us choose decor and go through the contract at our details meeting and Tatiana was our day of coordinator. Tatiana was a blessing! She was somehow everywhere at once! I don't know how she did it. The rehearsal was really smooth. Then at the wedding she took care of setting up all the extra stuff we brought as well as pinning all the boutonnieres on the groomsmen, making sure my husband and I had drinks the whole time, helping with timing, and much more. We loved our venue and we loved working with Tatiana! The night was amazing thanks to them.

The most amazing experience! Everyone at Lionscrest made everything so easy. Everything was organized and everyone was so nice. I couldn't recommend this venue more. They truly care about people and it shows through every step of the process. Thank you!

This venue is really cute~ We were just here for a friends wedding and it was perfect for them. The staff were all incredibly friendly and worked very well to ensure a smooth event. It seems like the staff really let them personalize what they wanted for their day. There were 80 people including the happy couple, but it was a bit tight at dinner. I'd say if you're looking at this place for a venue, smaller would be better. Outdoor area for the ceremony was adorable, the bar situation was good but cramped, dinner was cramped, but it tasted okay overall.

Had a family wedding here. Pretty! Wear flat shoes, a lit of stairs. Food was good but small portions.

After having visited several other venues, we knew within moments of touring the land on Lionscrest Manor that it was the perfect place for our wedding. Our contacts at Lionscrest have always been responsive, helpful, organized, and made sure that we were always meeting our deadlines and getting everything we needed in place in advance of our big day.

The day of our wedding, everything could not have gone more smoothly. Lionscrest staff were professional and easy to work with, the weather was perfect, and the evening could not have been more beautiful. Our day-of coordinator, Tatiana, was a huge help and always made sure that we felt great about everything. She always had quick solutions for any small last-minute decisions that came up during the course of the day.

The view from atop the small cliff to the side of the property provided the perfect backdrop for some amazing photos. We absolutely loved the land and venue and we are so glad that we went with Lionscrest Manor as our venue. Could not recommend more highly!

LOVE THIS PLACE. They worked with us through Covid and changes in plans. We ended up doing a small family only ceremony on our original date on family property and then pushed our reception a few months later at Lionscrest. The day went seamlessly. Shannon was our day-of coordinator and was excellent. The bridal suite is beautiful, the whole venue is beautiful!

All our guests raved about the space. It is clear that the staff knows what they are doing. Communication was fantastic throughout. I could go on and on, but moral of the story is I wouldn't have wanted to host our event anywhere else.

Lionscrest Manor is a high quality and well established venue. They are family run and provide great customer service. They know all the right questions to ask because they have been doing events for decades. We didn't have any problems and they are very friendly. The venue location is perfect for a Colorado wedding. It features beautiful sunsets, great landscapes, and the building is designed for running events smoothly. Highly recommend!

This place was absolutely beautiful! My cousin got married here this past weekend and this venue was perfect. The landscaping is so nice outside, there were so many nice places to take pictures. There are lots of beautiful mountain views from all around the property. This place is clearly taken care of very nicely. There was also a nice dining reception area inside.

A Fairy tale come true. We held our daughters wedding here on May 21,2016 and it was spectacular. Elegance at its best. The staff was so helpful, from the caterer to Shannon that over saw the day. We could not have done it without you all. The breathtaking views, the ease of the day, made everything so amazing. You guys are the best of the best. It was one of the best days of my life and I know one of the best days of my Daughters and Son-in-Laws lives. A perfect beginning, to a life of LOVE AND HAPPINESS! THANKS SO MUCH!

This last summer I had the honor to both work and attend a wedding here. The venue is beautiful inside and out. They where very helpful to accommodate the bride and groom with their needs, Help me with a spot to do some onsite design work needed and very friendly to the guests.

Beautiful setting fantastic view! But if you want a ride of your life go crazy and get a bus to go up and down the hill. The staff is snooty and rather turn a quick dollar then ensure the safety of people riding a bus on a muddy roads. Their answer is buses have been coming up and down the mountain for 20 years. Well those are beater buses and former school buses.

This facility should invest in paving it's road and making it safe for all going up and down. One lane traffic is the weakest point of this venue. Other than that absolutely beautiful!

I just got married at Lionscrest, and it was really amazing, especially for an out of town couple! Everything in their all inclusive package worked out very well, including the catering, dj, and flowers. Tatianna was the best person for the actual wedding day. Like most wedding packages, they will nickel and dime you for any additions to the wedding.

I didn't realize how much more I would want outside of the inclusive package until I had already signed up for it. I had a great time at my wedding and it was really beautiful, so I can't ask for more from Lionscrest!

Lionscrest is a Beautiful venue in a location that's far enough away to feel special but close enough not to be burdensome. The staff is very helpful and leaves you with Zero to worry about on your wedding day. Only 3 stars for Cost & Communication. The cost, though competetive, would have been out of our price range had we not used one of their promotion months.

I would have regretted paying full price, but thankfully that was not the case. Their communication wasn't as complete, especially when going from verbal agreements to written contracts, would have appreciated more in depth explanations.

Five star all the way! Thank you Lionscrest and Shannon. It was not perfect, weddings rarely are, however they were with us every step of the way. even through the rain. And they went out of their way to ensure our satisfaction. Highly recommend! Many of our guests said that it was the nicest wedding that they have ever attended.

We had our wedding here in 2009 and I can't recommend it enough! The location is unique, up a small and winding dirt path and the meadow for the ceremony is gorgeous with a view of red rock and Long's Peak in the distance. The outdoor balcony was a perfect perch for our strong trio and we loved that the bar area is partitioned from the ballroom for maximum impact/"big reveal" when guests are seated for dinner.

The staff themselves make Lionscrest an amazing place to get married with as little stress as is possible. They have already scoped out and help a couple determine the best florist, caterer, photographer, etc for your big day. All vendors are not only professional and kind, but used to working with one another on weddings and collaborate well. We hired a day of coordinator and probably could have gotten away without due to the staff members' and vendors' attention to detail.

The only change I would make would be for venue to offer more decor options. The fact that the venue is very white/plain/elegant/understated makes it a great canvas for any event, buy at the same time it can be very stark. We brought in tons of florals and custom banners as well as some other small touches like a Gobo for the dance floor, but I would have loved to have seen some options for uplighting or some other ideas for the space itself.

Overall a unique and gorgeous space that our guest are still commenting about 2 years later. If you are looking at Lionscrest, be sure to plan at least a year and a half out for summer dates as they book quickly!

Minus one star because I wanted to "check in on Yelp" and it wouldn't let me. Maybe because it was out in the boonies and the signal wasn't good. Anyhow, this was a great place. What a wonderful choice for a wedding or special occasion. The wedding ceremony looked out into the mountains. You can see Long's peak from the balcony. There was plenty of space and parking was easy.

At sunset, this place is very romantic. Simple layout and decor, but elegant. At first you think you are lost trying to get here, but you aren't : The town of Lyons looked awesome and I would have loved to spend more time there. Everything was beautiful and the staff was great.

Lionscrest was absolutely beautiful the day of our wedding. It sits at the top of a small mountain so the views are spectacular. Our outdoor ceremony was great just before the sun set. The reception was held indoors and accommodated all of our 162 guest on both levels very comfortably. More exceptional than the location of the venue, was the quality of service that we received the months leading up to the wedding and wedding night itself. Tatiana was more than amazing, taking care of all the intricate details without a hitch.

Many of our guests noticed how great she was at taking care of everything and we were very glad that she was there. Even before the day, we were in constant contact with Lionscrest staff both through email and over the phone. Needless to say, they are very organized and you will be very well taken care of both leading up to your wedding and the night of as well! Highly recommended!

Gorgeous! Located on the top of a hill in Lyons, the mountain views, from their garden or their ballroom, are breathtaking! A converted residence, they added on a huge ballroom, and an area for mingling with a bar for the caterers to work from. There is plenty of room for the bride to prepare with a jetted tub if you need some last minute pampering.

The guys get the short end of the stick, but guys aren't too big on priming. Well, not usually the marrying type anyway. You get an event coordinator to help everything along, though you don't get to pick the gal you'd like. We had a good rapport with one gal but they refused to let her be our event coordinator. They didn't do a great job of letting us know when to expect the coordinator to be coordinating.

When some things were not happening that ought to have been happening, we found our coordinator watching an Avalanche game in the kitchen. It was a bit annoying. However, she did a seamless job of relocating our garden wedding inside when it began to snow and rain. Be sure to read your bill carefully and ask for clarification. They used codes for table cloths so they were uninterpretable to those not in the know (buffet table became something like C4392).

They also plain old didn't bill some things right. Going over the bill revealed about $600 in overcharges, so be sure to pay close attention. They remedied the situation when we pointed it out.
