Here at JA Special Events, we are fortunate enough to get to work with some of the very best vendors in Colorado’s event industry. Today we have the privilege of highlighting a phenomenal wedding venue-Devil’s Thumb Ranch. There is so much to say about this beloved ranch that’s nestled in the Continental Divide, from the rustic barns to the stunning landscape, it truly is a winter paradise as well as the perfect summer getaway. Not only are the staff pleasant, polite and talented, but additionally they have years of experience that will be extremely beneficial in helping your dream of a perfect wedding weekend become a reality. The barn-like settings for the reception can be transformed however you like, and the accommodations for bridal party members and guests alike are nothing short of luxurious. We are thrilled to work alongside Devil’s Thumb Ranch on countless events throughout each year.

Oh how we loved serving and surprising one of our faithful clients in a whole new way through a surprise birthday party. The Lodge at Vail was the perfect spot to host a lovely evening full of great food, dancing, and a warm ambiance for a couple hundred birthday party guests. The fun took place throughout Vail, as guests went on an “Amazing Race,” gathering clues and puzzle pieces at various stops before arriving at their final destination for the evening. Brinton Studios captured the memorable evening, and Statice Floral made sure the room was adorned with beauty. Elite Productions provided the lighting, productions and photo booth, and Party Crashers kept the dance floor hopping well into the night. We loved celebrating you alongside family and friends, dear Sara!
