Absolute fairy-tale

Our ceremony and reception were an absolute fairy tale that every girl dreams about when thinking of their wedding. You have to experience the scenery in person to be able to truly take it all in, from the Hops Field, the Pond itself, and the surrounding areas, fit this Colorado girl just perfectly and even better the Pond stole my outdoorsman of a husbands heart too. Krii and her crew are a MUST have! I’m so glad we were blessed with the opportunity to get married here!

My now husband and I decided to take a leap of faith two years ago and move to LaPlata county. We had spent a lot of time in the area through our travels and fell in love with the community. It’s a community that proudly supports local businesses and its neighbors, and welcomes the many travelers that pass through regularly.Through a series of very serendipitous events, we found Krii and Paul...and their beautiful property - LePlatt's Pond. From the moment we toured the property, we knew that this was where we wanted to get married. Everything about it felt very much "us" and what we strive to embody - serenity, nature, community, down-to-earthness…plus an outdoor dance floor where we could show off our really bad dance moves under the stars. :)Taking on the planning and coordination ourselves seemed daunting at first, but Krii and Lacy were there to answer all of our questions and offer recommendations. I cannot say enough about Lacy as a coordinator. She truly has a gift of executing a vision flawlessly. I know I threw her many curve balls throughout the process - mainly 24 hours before because I have a tendency to think I can get more done than is physically possible in a certain period of time which left a lot of things undone on my part. She was so patient with me and a constant support. I am eternally grateful! (Also, important to note, what you as a bride "don't get done,” no one else notices. 😆)The Loft (also on the property) provided a quiet space to take in many special moments whether it was the night before the wedding with my sisters relaxing and laughing together while watching a movie or getting ready the day-of the wedding. It was a peaceful space that had everything we needed, including multiple steamers which really came in handy. It’s evident that Krii put a lot of thought and time into the design to make sure every detail was taken care of for her guests.I can say confidently that whether you’re local or looking for a destination wedding, you will be beyond fulfilled with LePlatt’s Pond as your venue. It is the perfect setting/canvas that (with the help of Krii and Lacy) allows a couple to make it uniquely their own for a day. I’m so grateful that I get to call this community “home", and I LOVE that I get to drive past LePlatt’s Pond weekly and take in all the wonderful memories from our wedding day all over again.-Paige & Caleb (9.2.23)@karlaweddingphoto@southwestdjservice@farmtofingersgrazing

When we got engaged, we knew right away that we wanted to get married at LePlatts Pond! Not only is it the most breathtakingly beautiful location but it also holds a special place in our hearts as we both grew up locally and even spent days fishing at the pond. Krii and her staff make the experience easy and stress-free from beginning to end! We are so lucky that we got to celebrate one of the best days of our lives at the best venue in Colorado!

When we starting the wedding planning process, we decided that we wanted a destination wedding- envisioning a quaint location surrounded by the mountains. When we came across LePlatts Pond we found just that! The pond and scenery are perfect, all our guests were raving about it! To top of the beauty, Krii and Lacy are wonderful women who helped in so many ways to make the day go smoothly! We really did have the perfect day at the most perfect venue!

Dear Krii and LePlatt's team,Thank you! Thank you, more than we can say, for your wonderful hospitality, the beautiful touches and gifts that were waiting in the loft for us, yours and Lacy’s professionalism, service, personality and class!!We looked at a variety of venues and none of them were quite what we were envisioning. Once we met you and had our first viewing of the LePlatt’s Pond venue and surrounding area on your ranch, it captivated us and we both felt a resounding YES! We finally found our place.Even though the venue can hold hundreds of people, ours was a small wedding of 45 and it still felt intimate.Choosing this venue was such a big part in making our wedding such a gigantic success. Lacy was wonderful to work with and such a calming presence. The grounds are stunning and has such a peaceful vibe. It is truly a magical place and we could feel the love that you and your family put into it. Everything was perfect and we could not have chosen a better place for our special day.Eli & Gina

From the moment I saw LePlatt's Pond via Instagram, I knew this place was it...Seeing it in person and getting to spend a whole weekend on the Ranch only solidified that this was my absolute DREAM VENUE!! My year of wedding planning felt like an enjoyable breeze because I knew I had Krii and Lacy (Coordinator) in my corner--They seamlessly ironed all my worries away--And that was in addition to the wonder and awe that is LePlatts Pond! The Venue is something out of a storybook (Or the movie The Notebook to be more exact, as a lot of our guests mentioned). The venue is stunning and absolutely everything I wanted and could have hoped for--But it was the love, humility and hospitality behind the venue that made having our wedding here a once in a lifetime experience. This venue is so clearly a family labor of love and it shows in every way--We felt like WE were apart of the Black family, rather than just another couple. If I could re-live my wedding day every day, just to spend another second at LePlatts Pond-I would! I cannot say enough wonderful things about LePlatts and the family/team behind it...If you have found LePlatts Pond in your wedding venue search, you have quite literally just hit the majestic jackpot!

LePlatts was incredibly gorgeous for our early-June wedding. The ranch and pond are a beautiful back drop for any event. Their coordinators and staff executed our set-up picture perfectly and accommodated many requests. The entire process was easy and stress-free all the way through our wedding day. As the bride and groom, the Loft on property was perfectly clean with so much attention to detail. Very convenient to stay pre-wedding and the night of. As locals to the area, it was great to enjoy our wedding almost as guests! Highly recommend LePlatts for any couple looking for a venue that helps coordinate all the day of logistics, and want a simply gorgeous location.

Exceeded every expectation

We loved the Pond, Tent and Colorado backdrop and knew it would make for beautiful photo’s to capture our memorable day. The staff at LePlatt’s Pond exceeded every expectation that we had. Krii was beyond organized, proactive and brought our vision to life. There wasn’t a single moment through out the day where we worried something might go wrong. All our guests are still talking about our wedding. They said they loved the venue and how perfect everything was. I would tell other bride’s to stop your search, because LePlatt’s Pond is the ideal Colorado Wedding Venue. I would also tell them if they want a care-free, worry-free wedding, they should utilize Krii Black and her staff. They will not regret these decisions for a minute!

Absolute dream venue

LePlatt’s Pond was an absolute dream venue!!! I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. The first thing that captured me about LePlatt’s was the beauty of the venue. With the incredible green grass, trees, and hops, there was no shortage of beauty. Not to mention the pond! It was the perfect place to take pictures after the ceremony, and the tent makes a breathtaking reception. After booking with LePlatt’s, I fell even more in love with it because of the amazing family that owns it. They pour their heart and soul into their venue. It was beautiful seeing the love that grows there within their family, it made it even more magical for us! From the first meeting, the LePlatt’s coordinator Lacy was nothing but professional and prompt. She worked directly with us to make our dream come true. Whatever we wanted, she helped make it happen! Our wedding day was an absolute dream thanks to the LePlatt’s team! There’s nothing I would change about our experience. THANK YOU, LePlatt’s!

Destination wedding to remember

Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to LePlatt’s Pond! We were thrilled with our experience from the planning phase all the way through our special day and beyond. We will always look back on our wedding as unforgettable and will share these memories with our family for years to come. We had several family members say ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. If you choose to get married at this venue, you are in for a treat, as the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The attentiveness, professionalism, and kindness of Krii, Lacy and the rest of the staff makes the day go smoothly and the weeks leading up to it minimally stressful. The help coordinating all of the moving pieces to make everything come together is indispensable. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to have a fairy-tale wedding with plenty of space for family and friends. Thank you LePlatt’s and team for all you have done for us!!

Most beautiful in Durango

Choosing LePlatt's as our venue may have been the best decision we made relating to the wedding! The location, in our opinion, is the MOST beautiful in Durango and all surrounding areas for those who prefer a green waterfront backdrop. Mary was our day-of coordinator and contact throughout the planning process, and working with her was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end! She presented as professional and attentive and took SO MUCH pressure off of us throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, we did not have to worry about a thing, as she and her husband assisting her kept everything running completely smoothly! We would highly recommend LePlatt's to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Durango area!

Felt like a guest at our wedding

We knew after stepping out of the car to get a tour of LePlatt's Pond when deciding on a wedding venue that this is place we wanted to get married. Pictures seriously do not do it justice! We had a large wedding and the abundant outdoor space was perfect. There are endless opportunities for decor ideas. I have yet to see any two weddings look similar at LePlatt's because it allows for so much creativity! Our wedding was focused on providing a fun experience for everyone in attendance. Needless to say, our goal was accomplished. With the help of Krii and her helpers, Gino and I had to do very little the day of the wedding which allowed for us to thoroughly enjoy our day. More importantly, it allowed our families to be with us rather than worrying about the little details.

The perfect Colorado mountain wedding

LePlatts is an absolutely stunning venue! Krii and Lacy are a great team and helped us so much throughout the process. We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and they were nothing but supportive - couldn’t have asked for a better team during such a stressful, unexpected time. Lacy and her team were AMAZING as day of coordinators, we couldn’t have done it without them. We gave Lacy all of our decorations, and she decorated the entire venue way better than I could have ever imagined our decorations could look. Lacy recommended we have our first look at the hops, and I’m so happy we did. The background was beautiful for pictures and video! I was the second bride to stay at the loft, and it was such a blast and adorable! Definitely a must. They have everything you need there and getting ready at the venue made wedding day so much easier. We are so happy to have picked Le Platts and wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Nothing like the Southwestern Colorado scenery

We are so happy we chose this venue! The beautiful hops farm was amazing for photos and there was nothing like the feeling of getting married right in front of the beautiful pond! My day turned out so beautiful and was absolutely stress free thanks to LePlatts wedding coordinator for the day of! Nothing like the southern colorado scenery! We feel truely blessed that we got to have our wedding somewhere that felt so happy, welcoming and fit our personalities so well!
