The Lodge At Cathedral Pines

Not a good place to have a wedding. This is in the middle of a residential community and is not appropriate for large parties. Do yourself a favor and do not use this facility.

Beautiful location and grounds. I went here for a wedding and I really had a nice time — mostly because of how cozy this place was.

My husband and I got married here in September 2010. Nothing else in Colorado Springs fit the bill for what we wanted in a wedding venue. The lodge is gorgeous, well maintained and perfect for intimate weddings or parties. We had around 52 people and it was just perfect. Even with a buffet, which eventually was cleared out, there was enough room for a small dance floor if we pushed the tables to the edges of the room later on. Due to perfect weather we were able to use the patio for our wedding ceremony and the views of the pines, the small lake, the small waterfalls and the bridge were everything we hoped for. This is a DIY place though in terms of set-​up, food, music. We brought in an iPod to play on the sound system that is already in the lodge. We brought in linens, glasses, and everything to go with the buffet for the dinner. The location has a very nice sized kitchen for prep-​work and several large fridges to store apps, fruit, chocolate, drinks, etc. The bathrooms are also very nice and very clean. When we got married they did provide chairs for the ceremony that were then ushered in and placed with the tables that they provide… since they’re white plastic (but sturdy) tables I highly recommend linens. Unfortunately I was not able to get ready at the venue and had to get ready at a hotel in Monument but I know there were talks of making a bridal room but it never came to be before my wedding… would be very handy for the bridal party! Also, the wooden beams of the ceiling are beautiful and the fireplace is a great focal point… gorgeous!
I checked online and the manager/​event coordinator has changed since my husband and I got married there. This is a good thing. The woman who was there back in the fall of 2010 was the worst. She was rude. She was short with people. She never once asked me if I needed any help with the evening, even though she was there to do that, and she was kinda pushy. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was the only location we fell in love with to get married at, besides super pricey places up in the mountains, I would have ran for the hills. This same woman also didn’t listen when I told her about our music timing for the ceremony and messed it up right before I walked down the aisle — I had no music when I walked down the aisle. We weren’t able to rehearse because she wasn’t all that flexible since she scheduled a party the night before – when we were supposed to rehearse so that was a big part of the issue. If she were still employed with the business I would give the place three stars, but since she’s not, five it is!
You won’t regret the location and your guests will love the atmosphere!
