Main Street Station Reviews

Our wedding at BlueSky Breckenridge was perfect ! We didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Even though it rained Shawna had a backup plan and everything went perfectly

We couldn't be happier with our intimate winter wedding at Main Street Station. The venue was BEAUTIFUL, and saying "I do" with Breck as our backdrop was incredible. We rented the Pioneer Club for the reception and had our ceremony on the outside veranda. It was absolutely perfect, and our guests LOVED it. We still keep saying we can't believe what a great value this vendor is...I don't think there is anywhere else that is this close to mountains AND a busy downtown for the price of MSS. Aside from the venue itself, our wedding coordinator, Shawna, was THE BEST and a pleasure to work with! She was a huge help all day long. All of the other MSS staff went out of their way to make sure our weekend was perfect, too. We recommend this venue 100%! Thanks again, MSS!!!

Wedding of our DREAMS! Shawna Henderson and the staff at Main Street Station will forever have a special place in our hearts! Shawna is such an amazing person to work with. From our first walk through of the beautiful condos with all the amenities to the full tour of the resort, we were in awe of the beauty of this venue and location. We kept whispering, " this can't be real..the availability and pricing are too good..it's too beautiful to be true!" Let me tell you, this place is Perfect! As my coordinator, Shawna was available via phone and email to answer any questions we had months leading up to the wedding and she was by my side during each important moment of my day to ensure everything went perfectly. We were married on 08.18.18! The weather was rainy in the early morning but the sun was out by 10 A.M. for the remainder of the day and into the evening, providing the most perfect weather for our perfect day. Our 152 guests cannot stop raving about what a beautiful view and amazing accommodations they had over the weekend. Everything from rehearsal dinner just below Main Street Station to the picturesque mountain photo session, cocktail hour on the patio and Pioneer room, to the private Groomsmen dressing room, DREAM worthy ceremony, outrageously fun reception, loving send off and after party in Downtown Breckenridge, our wedding weekend was truly unforgettable and I dare say, as Perfect as it gets! All thanks to Shawna & staff! Main Street Station only has one wedding a weekend and we took our time decorating the day before and breaking down the day after! This made it stress free, happy and allowed everyone to enjoy the reception to the fullest! The location was perfect for our out of town guests to walk around Breckenridge, shop, ride rides, enjoy brewery tours, wine tastings and brunch the morning after the Wedding. We cannot wait to go back and visit Shawna and the Main Street Station team this winter and next Aug for our Anniversary.

Great venue! We had a spectacular wedding at BlueSky Lodge in Breckenridge. All of our guests had a great time and were very complimentary of the rooms (amazing!) and common areas. Having our wedding at the lodge (condo accommodations) extended the celebration into a weekend affair, which was a nice way to maximize on a destination wedding. Easy walk to Breckenridge and all the guests loved it. : ) Shawna was great to work with and we're so glad we chose BlueSky Breckenridge for our wedding.

We had a lovely June wedding at Main Street Station in Breckenridge. We were so thrilled with our entire experience - from booking, communication, the very reasonable price to the housing on site and it was easy for our guests to book. Shawna is wonderful and helped coordinate things and deliveries. We had the ceremony on the upper deck which was private and beautiful views and our cocktail hour at the Pioneer Room. We also had an impromptu gathering the Thursday before in the Pioneer Room and the Sunday after which allowed our guests to mingle and meet. A great thing about Pioneer is for cocktail hour you can byob and save some costs. Having everyone stay on site was fantastic, the suites are gorgeous and convenient. We originally were sad we couldn't have a different venue in Breck for our date but it was the best thing that could have happened because Main Street worked so beautifully for us. Highly recommend. Another huge pro was that we could quickly dump decor etc into part of the ballroom and then organize/pack it up the next day -- definitely not the case with other venues. It allowed us to relax and focus just on enjoying the day, and worrying about the details and clean up after.

I had wedding at Main Street Station in Pioneer Club along with outdoor ceremony on upper plaza at 08/06/2016. It was just wonderful. Annie who I coordinated with is just amazing. Very professional, friendly and helpful. She responds to all the email and questions right away making the planning process so easy. She was wonderful on the day of setting up to. Couldn't not find better quality place with amazing views and wonderful staff to help. On the top of that the hotel rooms are just gorgeous. Thanks!

We used Main Street Station just for our post-dinner reception festivities. Annie was extremely helpful all the way through the process from booking to the final walk through and helping our wedding planners with the details and setup. Awesome venue for our smaller size wedding. Booking the smaller clubhouse room allowed us to bring in our own liquor which was a cost savings and the room was gorgeous complete with fireplace, bar and patio with a view of the Breckenridge peaks. I can't speak to a large wedding here, but for a small one (50 or under) it's perfect, and I imagine the service would be equally as good no matter what the size of the party.

This venue is awesome! Karyn will help you from day one till 5 minutes before the wedding....she is wonderful!! Everyone at Main Street Station is Fantastic! Weather summer or winter, you will have a beautiful setting for your fabulous event!!! Highly recommend!

We hosted both our ceremony and reception at Main Street Station in the Fall of 2017. The venue itself is gorgeous and has several different spaces, and it makes a nice backdrop for many styles of wedding. There's lots of glass and natural light, making the venue excellent for photos and a classic part of Richmond. We experienced some "growing pains" because of recent renovations, but our wait was worth it in the end. We worked with an extremely responsive staff who made everything right in the end and helped us through some of the extra requirements of working with the City of Richmond. The working train station is a public place, but the staff helped keep our wedding private. The venue was perfect for our wedding, and we recommend it without reservation.

Using them just for a ceremony spot. They have been more then accommodating, especially when we were thinking we would have chair storage issues at the reception locations they said we could move everything over and they would hold them till the rental company picked them up. They have provide recommendations and work to make the day how we want. And view over Maggie Pond is amazing.

The venue was gorgeous. I wish Vacasa would be better in communicating because they don't seem to know what's going on at this location as far as weddings are concerned. They require a coordinator so my review is about her:
I was excited to hire Shawna, owner of Breck Mtn Weddings, for my wedding at Main Street Station in Breck because her reviews were excellent and she used to work for the venue before they became Vacasa. The venue required me to hire a day of coordinator so I chose Shawna over the other option. My mother in law also communicated with and used her company for rental items at the rehearsal dinner. I am an out of state bride and hired Shawna a year and a half before my wedding date. Here is my experience:

Negatives:
On the weekend of our wedding, Shawna double booked herself. She had a large wedding on Saturday (the same day as our rehearsal) and our small wedding was Sunday morning at 11:30am. I think we would have had a better experience if she didn't double book herself, because maybe she was overworked or didn't pay much attention to us since we were a smaller wedding. Either way, I expected more especially since we booked her so early.

Shawna was responsive, but the substance of the responses were lacking. For example, I asked her several times for the dimensions of the mantle in the reception space and I have yet to receive them. I asked for the height of the arbor that her company rents out, and she gave an estimate rather than precise height. My mother in law asked for the diameter of the wooden chargers and cake stands which she never provided. We asked for gluten free bakery and tux rental recommendations and she never got back to us. She quoted me and my mother in law different prices as time went on for her rental items.

She met with me for 2 hours over zoom to create the timeline early on in the planning process because I needed to create my website. She never sent the draft and a few months later, we met again to "review" the existing timeline, but she started over from scratch. Again, she did not send the draft to me so I ended up creating my own timeline to stay organized. 1 month before the wedding, I sent her my version of the timeline which she loved and she asked me to send it to my vendors which I did. Then, days before the wedding she sent her incorrect version of the timeline to all our vendors and it was FILLED with mistakes. My photographer even had to reach out to verify what the correct timeline was. She also had my husband's name listed as "Dustin" instead of "Ryan." The attention to detail for this important part of the process was disappointing to say the least.

During the ceremony, we had in the ceremony script that grandparents would be escorted to their seats separately. However, when they arrived Shawna told them to sit anywhere. We wanted to honor our grandparents by having them escorted down and she definitely ruined that. This could have been avoided had she been more attentive.

Shawna did not seem organized when we first met her in person in Breck so I spent the evening before the ceremony setting up decorations that I brought from home since I was afraid she would be too busy with the other wedding to execute properly.

Positives:
Shawna delivered the rental items on time and the space looked nice overall. Her services were generally inexpensive. She did execute the grand entrance and exit well, so that was appreciated. She was friendly throughout the process and provided cake cutting utensils for us to use. Her rental items are in good condition and they were delivered on time. Right before the ceremony I started to feel lightheaded so she brought me water and pastries which helped me feel much better.

Last Thoughts:
I was surprised at the discrepancy between Shawna's positive reviews and actual services. She is updating her business by developing a new website, establishing honeybook, etc. I think she has a lot going on which is why her services did not meet our expectations. We had the wedding of our dreams only because I stayed organized. If you're not on top of things, she's probably not the right coordinator for you.
