Iconic riverfront music venue up Poudre Canyon, ~30 min from Fort Collins. Not a ballroom, it's a concert/restaurant spot that also does weddings. Their site says the historic dance hall holds up to 75 and the outdoor riverside space up to 1,000, Nov-March rentals add a 20x40 heated tent, and testimonials there mention weddings of 120 and 150, one with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. In-house catering and bar, cashless (cards only). They run a shuttle from Fort Collins (wedding-spot lists it as free Apr-Nov), which matters because canyon parking is tricky. Coordination runs through Black Bear Events (Gary and Meg). Bring layers, it gets cold by the river. Bookings go through their private-events team. For staying over, their lodging page points to places nearby in the canyon, the closest cabins about 4 miles away, and camping isn't allowed at the venue.
