A National Honor Recognizing One of America’s Most Sought-After Wedding Destinations

Loveland, Colorado — Sweet Heart Winery is proud to announce it has been named a 2026 Couples’ Choice Award® Winner by WeddingWire, one of the most trusted and widely used wedding planning platforms in the world. This prestigious distinction is awarded to the top wedding venues in the United States based solely on verified, five-star reviews from real couples.

The Couples’ Choice Award places Sweet Heart Winery among an elite group of wedding professionals nationwide who consistently exceed expectations and deliver unforgettable wedding experiences.

What the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award Means

WeddingWire is used by millions of engaged couples every year to research, compare, and book wedding venues and vendors. Unlike many industry awards, the Couples’ Choice Award is entirely driven by couples’ experiences, reflecting excellence in service, responsiveness, quality, and overall satisfaction.

Winning this award confirms what couples across the country already know:

Sweet Heart Winery is not just a beautiful place to get married—it is a destination where extraordinary moments are thoughtfully crafted and flawlessly executed.

A Premier Wedding Destination in the Sweetheart City

Nestled along the Big Thompson River in Loveland, Sweet Heart Winery offers one of the most romantic and memorable wedding settings in the United States. Riverfront ceremonies, towering cottonwoods, mountain foothills, and open skies create a naturally stunning backdrop that feels intimate, timeless, and uniquely Colorado.

At the heart of the property stands a multi-million-dollar mortise-and-tenon timber-frame building—an architectural centerpiece that blends rustic elegance with refined craftsmanship. From golden-hour sunsets to dramatic mountain silhouettes, every corner of the property is designed for unforgettable celebrations and iconic photography.

Getting married in Loveland—at Sweet Heart Winery—there is simply nothing like it.

Nationally Acclaimed Wines & Beverages That Elevate the Celebration

Recognized as a Top 10 Winery in the United States by The Scout Guide, Sweet Heart Winery is known for its award-winning wines, thoughtfully selected in California and perfected in Colorado.

Wedding guests enjoy a beverage experience unlike any other, including:

Award-winning Sweet Heart wines crafted for elegance and celebration
Eight different award-winning hard ciders on tap
A cider program so compelling that even beer drinkers consistently fall in love

Guests don’t just attend a wedding—they experience one of the country’s most celebrated winery destinations.

A Destination Feel—Without the Destination Travel

Located at 5500 West Highway 34, Sweet Heart Winery is just 59 minutes from Denver International Airport, making it remarkably convenient for out-of-town guests. While only minutes from downtown Loveland, the property feels completely removed—immersed in nature, privacy, and panoramic beauty.

Couples proudly tell their guests:

“Join us in Loveland, at one of America’s top winery wedding destinations.”

Family-Owned. First-Class Experience.

Sweet Heart Winery is family-owned and operated, and that care shows in every detail. From the first tour to the final send-off, couples consistently praise the team’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail.

“This isn’t just a venue—it’s a team that treats every wedding like it’s the only one that matters.”

“Our mission is simple—create experiences for people to connect. This recognition tells us we’re doing exactly that, at one of the most important moments in a couple’s life.”
