About this venue
Younger Ranch is one of the last remaining original ranches in Colorado where time stops – and the pastures, meadows and views, beckon you back to a place of peace. A place you can feel has deep rooted values of integrity, goodness, hard-work, family and faith–embedded in every facet. From the rich history of the barns, the grit and determination it took to work and doctor cows in snow storms, to the perseverance it took haying and building miles of fence in the blistering heat of the seemingly endless summer seasons.. … We’re the real deal. And so are you.

Event insurance is required by many ceremony and reception sites. Younger Ranch has put this policy into place, to help protect our clients in the event they are held liable for property damage or bodily injury, as well for alcohol-related accidents.
We require $1 million general aggregate and $1 million per occurrence. In addition, if any alcohol will or may be served at your event you must have host liquor coverage.
This is a very simple process. We recommend going through one of two companies. It’s easy-fill out the short application, pay the required amount (typically the cost is $100 or $175 for the added host liquor liability), email Younger Ranch a copy of the certificate of liability, and you are done. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. Wedsafe Eventsured https://www.eventsured.com/partnership/younger-ranch-weddings-events/
