It was amazing having everything (ceremony, reception, and food & drink) handled through just one on-site vendor it made the entire planning process so stress-free and simple-and it kept costs down.Anheuser-Busch purchased Devils Backbone Brewing Company in 2016. We had plenty of space to mingle, and we even got to play cornhole on the deck outside.Ĭat & Melanie were great to work with-responsive and accommodating. The Summit is a pretty enough space that you don't need to do too much in the way of decor, either. The food we chose was all delicious (you're allowed to have your chosen dessert made at an outside bakery, but otherwise you are eating Devils Backbone food), and they'll work with you to make sure the menu is just how you want it. We just wanted a simple reception with a buffet dinner & mingling, so the Summit was perfect for that. We chose to have a standing ceremony, but you are able to rent chairs if so desired. It is isolated from the main Devils Backbone campus, so it is private & quiet, and it has a beautiful backdrop of the mountains behind. There is a wooden arbor provided in the outdoor area in the back yard of one of the on-site houses, which are lovely and we rented (Three Ridges Haven & Retreat). However, if you have more people than that at your wedding, you are able to rent a tent to cover the outside area around the Summit to accommodate them. Devils Backbone was the absolute perfect place to host our intimate wedding this March! We had approximately 35-40 guests, which was the perfect amount of people for the outdoor ceremony venue and the Summit reception area.
