The Best Colorado Wedding Venues

 Looking for Colorado Mountain Wedding Venues?

If you’re planning on getting married in Colorado, you’re probably looking for a beautiful experience in the outdoors with epic mountain views. From rolling hills to stunning peaks, few places in the country are as majestic as those Colorado wedding venues with mountain views!

You have no shortage of Colorado mountain wedding venues to choose from… but with so many excellent options, how do you pick?

Telluride Wedding Venues

Telluride is one of Colorado’s best, most beautiful places to celebrate your wedding. You can find all of the best wedding venues in Telluride here.

Denver Wedding Venues

When it comes to Colorado weddings, few locations offer the convenience of Denver. However, easy accessibility is not the only appeal. In fact, Denver wedding venues also deliver stunning mountain scenery.

Below are my favorite Denver wedding venues. These locations showcase the dazzling mountain views you are looking for.

Evergreen Lake House

First, only 30 minutes outside Denver, Evergreen Lake House stands out as one of Colorado’s premier mountain wedding venues. Overlooking Evergreen Lake, the property surrounds you with mountain views in every direction. As a result, the scenery feels immersive year-round.

For your ceremony, you may exchange vows on the wide deck extending over the lake. Meanwhile, Bear Mountain creates a dramatic natural backdrop. If weather changes your plans, you can move indoors without losing the view.

Inside, the Octagon Room features seven walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. Therefore, natural light and mountain views remain present throughout your celebration.

For your reception, the Great Room offers an elegant log-cabin atmosphere. Additionally, a stone fireplace and pine interiors create a warm setting. Finally, an elevated outdoor patio accommodates up to 200 guests comfortably.

The Venue at Crooked Willow Farms

Next, another exceptional option sits just 30 minutes from Denver and Colorado Springs. The Venue at Crooked Willow Farms blends mountain grandeur with refined country charm. As a result, it creates a stunning canvas for a Colorado wedding.

On this 90-acre property in Plum Creek Valley, you can choose multiple ceremony and reception spaces. Each location offers a distinct atmosphere and view.

First, the Mountain View Lawn welcomes guests with sweeping scenery. This manicured space sits beside the Carriage House. In addition, it overlooks rolling fields and the distant Rocky Mountains.

Next, the Carriage House Ballroom provides a grand indoor setting. White pine walls, soaring ceilings, and chandeliers define the space. However, the floor-to-ceiling barn doors create the most striking feature. They open fully to reveal mountain views and natural light.

Finally, Lola’s Loft offers a more intimate experience. You reach it by climbing a circular staircase into a rustic barn loft. From there, you can open double doors to a covered deck. This space comfortably hosts up to 100 seated guests.

Piney River Ranch

Finally, drive from Denver toward Vail to reach Piney River Ranch. This remote mountain retreat sits within White River National Forest. Additionally, it rests on the edge of Piney Lake beneath the Gore Range. As a result, the setting feels completely immersed in wilderness.

For your ceremony, you may say “I do” on the lakeside deck. Meanwhile, the Rocky Mountains frame the entire scene. Afterward, you can choose an open-air reception or an indoor celebration. Both options accommodate up to 200 guests.

In addition, guests enjoy ranch-style dining followed by s’mores around the fire. Finally, overnight accommodations include cabins, glamping tents, and a yurt. Therefore, the experience extends beyond a single celebration into a full mountain retreat.

Colorado Springs Wedding Venues

If you’re searching for Colorado Springs wedding venues, you have many options — but my favorite ones all center around the Garden of the Gods. This magical park, a registered National Natural Landmark, offers dazzling red-rock views for Colorado mountain weddings of all kinds.

Garden of the Gods

There are a few options for venues in this popular Colorado Springs wedding location. You can have your celebration inside the park itself or outside at an adjacent resort.

 Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center

Inside the park is the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center, which allows you to hold your ceremony at a variety of different areas:

• Jaycee Plaza (up to 50 people)
• Sentinel Plaza (up to 25 people)
• Three Graces Plaza (up to 25 people)
• High Point (up to 50 people)
• Scotsman Picnic Area (up to 25 people)
• South Spring Canyon Area (up to 50 people)

There are no charge and no permit required to get married at any of these locations, but you may need to obtain a commercial use permit for your Colorado Springs wedding photography. Be sure to check out that and other restrictions outlined by the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center before choosing this option.

Garden of the Gods Resort and Club

A free ceremony sounds great, but if you want something more reliable and refined, consider the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club. This exceptional venue offers sweeping panoramas of the Garden of the Gods and the Rocky Mountains.

Choose between several wedding venues at this private resort:

• South Lawn (up to 20 people)
