WEDDINGS and RECEPTIONS

Whether you have your wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon or a small intimate dinner here, we will make sure that every detail of your event will be handled with the professionalism and grace for which we are known. Our facility is exclusively yours for your wedding and reception, and we have private rooms for rehearsal dinners and luncheons. Our menu is very affordable. We offer full wedding consultation services at no cost.

The CRAFTWOOD INN, on one and a half acres of landscaped gardens overlooking Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs, is a popular site for wedding ceremonies, receptions and rehearsal dinners. A ceremony in the landscaped gardens is not only a charming site for you and your guests, it is a wonderful setting for photographs with majestic Pikes Peak in the background. A reception can be arranged for 50 to 175 guests. There is a covered patio and garden area perfect for ceremonies or dancing.   Our dance floor can be set up for DJ's or live musicians.

   

The style and setting of the Craftwood Inn must be seen to be appreciated. If you would like to tour our facility, please call 685-9000. Our Banquet & Wedding Coordinator, Kerri Jo, or another manager will be pleased to show you the estate and explain all of the features we provide for wedding ceremonies, receptions and rehearsal dinners.
