About this venue

Hillside sits where the Wet Mountain Valley meets the magnificent Sangre de Cristo Mountains in southern Colorado. The tiny town of Hillside provides a rural mountain feel while still accessible to the front range, close to the quaint town of Westcliffe, and easy access off Hwy 50 and 69. Our five on-site cottages can accommodate up to 18 guests, perfect for the wedding party and or family, additional lodging is close by. We host one wedding per weekend allowing you to access the property the day prior so you can unload, set-up, relax, enjoy and celebrate. Use our outdoor patio for a casual BBQ rehearsal dinner or bring a wood fired pizza truck or caterer, the options are endless. Step into your special day under the largest willow grove in Colorado. Let the party begin with dancing on the 100-year-old fun dance floor. We pride ourselves on exceptional service.

    Willow Vale is an incredible venue if you are looking for something personal, versatile and picturesque! A quaint little spot under large willow trees and surrounded by mountains- It could not have been a more perfect setting for our wedding! Lori was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with all of my questions. We loved that we could stay on site on all weekend in the cute cabins and the flexibility within the venue for locations of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. She also had a lot of decor, tables and cutlery to utilize as well which was an amazing plus (one less thing to worry about). Our guests (who are frequent wedding go-ers at this point) couldn't stop raving about the unpredicted beauty of Willow Vale and the Westcliffe area and plan to return. We truly can't recommend Lori and her team at Willow Vale enough! Ps- the stars at night are incredible, I only wish I could place a picture with this review!

    Our experience with Lori and Willow Vale were incredible. She was easy to communicate and connect with. We loved her. She was able to coordinate the whole day for us from our schedule and this took a massive amount of stress away from us - especially doing a destination wedding! The venue is incredibly beautiful. Having the wedding party stay in the cottages was so fun and made this more of an experience than just one day that flew by. The cottages were so clean and comfortable as well. It did rain at the time we were supposed to get married but Lori did all she could to still make everything happen in the grove. 30 minutes later - Lori was soaking wet and running all around and she made our dream come true of getting married in the grove. We loved every second of our wedding here!
