LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION.

The Blackstone Rivers Ranch location on the Rocky Mountain Front Range is perfectly situated just 35 minutes west of Denver, while feeling like it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is 3 miles south of the quaint little mountain town of Idaho Springs – where the Colorado Gold Rush began! At 8,200 feet above sea level, we’re still lowlander friendly. =)

The ranch can be found on Chicago Creek Road, also known as Highway 103 – the road that leads to Mt. Evans. Many of the design decisions for the ranch pay homage to Idaho Springs’ rich and exciting Colorado history, and is evident in its interior finishes, architecture, furnishings, landscape, various outdoor spaces and building names. Learn a bit more below – it all has meaning…


HISTORY

Blackstone Rivers Ranch’s story began like many do in the heart of the Rockies. It was the WILD WEST! The property was first explored for gold and silver mining, along with logging operations in the 1800’s. The ranch then served as a working llama ranch in the mid-1900s. Today, the ranch encompasses 22 acres and is family-owned and operated. It has become home to the Betz family and their furry friends. The Betzs have worked to create a place of love, relaxation and wonder. They care deeply about this magical place, and are involved in every single part of the operation. They meet every client personally, and oversee each event. It is their dream and they are so happy to be sharing it with their guests. They have devoted many years to creating what will become one of the premier destinations for discerning brides, music aficionados, business executives, and party-goers in the region.

For more information or to book your event, email concierge@blackstoneriversranch.com or call 303.567.2339.

NOTE:  We work unusual schedules around the ranch. We typically respond more slowly on the weekends due to scheduled events, and family time off on Sundays. We often work late, but sometimes close early. Please be patient with our response time if it is not immediate. We typically respond to email within 24 hours. Thank you for understanding!

    • Jewels is amazing!  She is an awesome person and was truly an integral part of our wedding day. Everyone loved her. She is clearly an extremely talented professional and worth her weight in gold. She infuses style, attitude, and drama into her photos, making them unique and seemingly magical. We now have beautiful prints and an album to proudly display in our home for the rest of our lives. We give her our highest recommendation and having her as our photographer was the best decision we made out of everything we did for our wedding.

    • Jewels is so much fun to work with. Her innovative vision and artistic talent is second to none. She has created wonderful memories of my daughter's wedding that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for everything!

    • Worked together with Jewels for a wedding at the Ritz-Carlton in Denver this June and she was such a delight! Her photos are beautiful to say the least and she is such a sweetheart! Excited to work with her again soon!

      — Emily Pitner
    • Jewels is amazing! I for sure thought we’d be the most awkward couple in the universe once a camera was pointed our way; Jewels made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, and gave great instruction on posing. Our photos turned our phenomenally!

      — Julia Dietsch
    • Jewels was such a pleasure to work with at a recent wedding at the Ritz Carlton Denver. She did and instant slide show at the wedding, and it was a huge hit! I would highly recommend Jewels to anyone looking for a quality photographer!

      — Jessica Eliassen
    • She beautifully captured every moment of our wedding weekend. She’s hard working, incredibly talented, professional, and just so fun to work with! Everyone at my wedding and reception absolutely loved her and have been gushing over our pictures since we received them! I can’t thank her enough for the memories she captured for us!
