We held our wedding at Villa Parker & our overall experience was very positive. We booked very far in advance of our actual wedding day & throughout the process of planning & payment they were very responsive to our communication inquires. We never ended up looking at other facilities because we fell in love with Villa so we cannot offer comparisons on pricing to other facilities. We can say that we felt the costs were overall reasonable. We had good communication with Villa & always felt they were responsive to us. They offer monthly ‘tastings’ which allowed us to meet & try out some of the vendors they recommended. The background is very beautiful being set in the little town of Parker; bar service, tables, chairs, day-of logistics are all included in the facility charges. Most of the staff we worked with was very pleasant & supportive. We initially worked with Karen & she was very easy-going & respectful of our needs. Our day-of coordinator was Erika & she was awesome to work with. She thought of things we never would have, & actually put the entire facility together the day of the ceremony. We always felt very comfortable with her suggestions & direction. Concerns included: during the initial evaluation of the facility we were told that we would have full access to the venue for the entire day. While this was true, there was a rehearsal that morning of our wedding. While it didn’t necessarily impact us, it was awkward to have other people we don’t know wandering the facility while we were preparing. They were also giving tours and we understand it’s a business and you have to support new clients, as we paid for the facility for an entire day it just felt some of our privacy was infringed on. Again, not something that impacted the experience of our ceremony or happiness with Villa but just a general comment. Additionally, we mentioned in multiple meetings & emails how important the ceremony music was to us. That, if all else failed, we wanted the music to be right (processional, ceremony). We even put together our own playlists & instructions so the staff at Villa would get it correct. We were assured the music would be handled correctly but, it was not. Our processional for both the wedding party & the bride was wrong as was the start of our unity sand song. We know that every little aspect of the wedding will not go to plan; and we accepted that. Of course our guests didn’t know the difference; but for us we had emphasized countless times the importance of the music. The fact it was done incorrectly was disappointing. Ultimately though, we let it be & tried not to harp on it. Suggestions for Villa would be to improve the outdoor speaker capacity in the courtyard & to review ways to keep the dining hall room cooler, it got very hot. The pros & positive overall experience of course outweighed the concerns we had. It’s a beautiful facility, secluded from everything, & we had numerous guests comment on how wonderful the facility & set up were. The general timeline & organization of the day was also great & was able to help keep our stress level down. Villa did a great job working with our individual vendors & coordinating everything in a manner that assured everything was on time & in place as it needed to be. We would highly recommend Villa to those looking for a quaint, cozy, & beautiful facility that handles all aspects of your wedding in one site. We had a beautiful wedding & we thank Villa & Erika for the hard work and support!

Villa Parker is lovely, and the staff here is extremely helpful. I was the maid of honor in my friends wedding here this summer, and was pretty involved in helping her to plan, and with coordinating the events of the wedding day. The staff here was wonderful. They had everything under control from the moment my friend hired them, all the way through the evening of the wedding. They hold monthly caterer tastings here, which we went to to try out the various caterers that they allow at the venue, and we really enjoyed all of them (so dont let the fact that they only allow certain caterers deter you). They also allow you to purchase your own alcohol from Vines in Parker, instead of purchasing it through the venue itself, which probably helps a bit with the cost, and means that you at least get to bring home anything you paid for that wasnt used. The Villa is also really gorgeous, with an outdoor ceremony space in front of the villa, looking at the large front door and tiered fountain, or a large indoor space, which doubles as the ballroom. Beware, though! They will tell you that they can fit ~200 people, but that includes seating people outside on the patio, and in a room adjoining the ballroom. That means half your guests are not in the same room you are. My friends wedding had a little over 100 guests, and we filled up the ballroom. If you dont believe me, take some measurements, and see how many 5 diameter tables you can fit in the room. You can fit 8-9 people around one table. There is NO WAY to fit 200 guests.

The place is beautiful but they need to learn much more. Few things you might want to know before you plan to get married here: - There is no AC. You will be hot and exhausted and sweaty. I mean, it is HOT in there. - If you plan on having a DJ play music for your ceremony, they do not let you bring outside speakers and they do not have speakers in the ceremony area. You will end up playing music on a tiny boom box that can be barely heard. The birds are louder than those speakers. - There are bugs and caterpillars around the premises. They fall on guests plates or inside your shirt... yukkk! - The Wedding planner that they provide pretty much has no time to deal with your most important day of your life. Make sure you have your own wedding planner, dont use the one they provide. - Only 1 restroom for the entire building. Be prepared to stand in line if you have to pee... or dont drink a lot of water.

Villa Parker is the perfect event venue for every season! It is the perfect location for an intimate ceremony or a big bash if thats your thing :) The location is tuscan romance tucked away on a hill with a gorgeous view of the sunset and the Rocky Mountains and we knew it was perfect for us! From the beginning up until the big day the staff was so kind, friendly and extremely helpful on all levels. Our celebration really could not have been as amazing as it was without each and every one of them. They were so willing and thoughtful when it came to creating the perfect day for my husband and I. This venue is really a place you need to see and experience for yourself; attend the tastings, book a tour or drop by and say hi. You really have to be there to find out what the best of the best is for yourself. Villa Parker holds true to their title of "Best Wedding Venue."

Villa Parker was the most beatiful place to have a wedding, we absolutely loved the venue and the views of the mountains. Erika, the owner, was so amazing to work with. She was able to guide me and answered any questions that I had during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was seamless she was so helpful with everything and attended to any requests anyone had. All of the guests were so amazed by her level of professionalism and service, as well as, in awe of the venue. Thank you Erika and team for making our day so incredible, we could not have done it without you!
