colorado wedding venues
The Little Nell
The Little Nell is pure alpine elegance, perfectly positioned for ski-in/ski-out convenience, yet with intimate vistas and refined interiors. As a planner, I love designing a rooftop or mountain-facing cocktail hour there—guests feel enveloped in Aspen’s majesty. For the ceremony, I might place a stand-alone arch framing the snow-dusted peaks, then guide everyone into a private dining room warmed by fireplaces. A special touch: arranging a twilight gondola ride for the couple (or small group) to capture golden-hour portraits with the town lights below.

Devil's Thumb Ranch
With its 6,500 acres of mountain wilderness and ranch charm, Devil’s Thumb Ranch is a venue that feels expansive yet warm. As a planner, I relish mapping ceremony sites near soaring aspen groves or tucked by a pond, and designing reception spaces that accent the natural textures—wood, stone, soft lighting. One of my favorite touches is offering a “Ranch Experience Hour” pre-ceremony: guests can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides, hot cocoa stations, or spa-style warming huts before the main event starts.

Piney River Ranch
Piney River Ranch offers the rare combination of secluded lakeside serenity with striking mountain views. I love that the venue feels like your own private retreat, where guests can wander, relax, and bond over the weekend. For a wedding, I design a lakeshore ceremony at dusk, followed by a lounge-style cocktail hour on the terrace, then dinner under canopy lighting in the pavilion. A special, memorable touch: a late-night fire-pit lounge with s’mores, whiskey tastings, and ambient acoustic music, letting guests linger in the moment.

Hotel JErome
Hotel Jerome brings historic sophistication, elegant interiors, and timeless charm to the table. As a planner, I love staging ceremonies in the courtyard or in their refined ballrooms, blending heritage touches (like vintage furnishings, classic chandeliers) with modern floral designs. A special touch: offering a “Jerome Afternoon Tea” for guests during cocktail hour—with pastries and live piano—to evoke the hotel’s storied past and pamper attendees.

Garden of the Gods Club & Resort
This resort has dramatic, panoramic views of the red rock formations and Pikes Peak as a backdrop—especially stunning for sunset weddings. As a planner, I love utilizing their terraced lawns or stone patios for outdoor ceremonies, then guiding guests inside to elegant ballrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. A bespoke touch: I often propose a “desert-to-mountain” cocktail menu—local teas, craft spirits, alpine botanicals—to reflect the venue’s unique setting and surprise guests.

The Broadmoor
The Broadmoor is synonymous with luxury—rich history, refined gardens, elegant salons, and sweeping mountain views. I adore working here because every corner speaks of timelessness. For a wedding, I’ll plan a lakeside ceremony, followed by strolling cocktail hour through manicured gardens, then transition into a grand ballroom for dinner. A special touch: I love to include a fountain-lit champagne toast on the promenade or surprise violinist performance in one of the garden alcoves.

St. Julien
St. Julien in Boulder offers urban elegance with mountain proximity—ideal for couples who want sophistication without compromising access to nature. I like orchestrating intimate garden or rooftop ceremonies, then bringing guests into its glass-wrapped ballrooms. A special detail: I often coordinate a Colorado wine-pairing dinner—featuring boutique local vineyards and narrated tasting—so the food and drink reflect place as deeply as the scenery.

Greystone CAstle
Greystone Castle brings fairytale romance—Turrets, stone walls, sweeping staircases—that feels unique in Colorado. As a planner, I delight in turning its grand rooms into intimate luxury settings, bathed in candlelight and floral drapery. A special touch: arranging a vintage car arrival for the bride or groom (or both), pulling up into the castle courtyard for dramatic entrance photographs under arching stone.

T lazy 7 ranch in aspen
T-Lazy-7 Ranch is a working ranch property just a few miles from downtown Aspen, nestled up Maroon Creek Road, with views stretching out toward the Maroon Bells and surrounded by National Forest and wilderness. One of my favorite touches is to schedule the ceremony in the Meadow just before sunset, so that golden light softly bathes the Maroon Bells and aspens—then have a cocktail hour on the Lodge Lawn (or nearby terrace), letting guests breathe in the air and soak in the panoramic views.

Frequently asked questions about Colorado Wedding Venues
My advice: start with your vision and priorities (view, privacy, guest experience, lodging). Then filter for venues that match your aesthetic and logistical needs. The “beautiful wedding venues Colorado” list is endless—but the best match will feel like it was chosen for you.
How do we choose the right venue when so many are beautiful?
Mountain venues often require extra logistics: guest shuttles, rain/snow backup plans, power or lighting rentals, and sometimes extended setup timelines. As your planner, I anticipate those “hidden” needs early so you don’t get surprised later.
What extra costs should we expect with mountain venues?
For luxury venues, many couples book 12–18 months (or more) ahead—especially for coveted dates and locations. If your ideal place has limited event dates (or is remote), securing it early is crucial.
How far in advance should we reserve a top-tier Colorado venue?
Absolutely. Intimacy gives designers room to go deeper in details—florals, lighting, specialty linens, custom menus—that can make a wedding feel ultra-luxe. My job is to make every guest feel they’re part of an elevated, bespoke celebration, regardless of size.
Can smaller weddings look as luxurious as large ones?
