I might be a little biased to photographing weddings in my home base of Breckenridge and Summit County, but Colorado is full of gorgeous and unique wedding venues all over the state.
There are some really cookie-cutter wedding venues out there, but equally some amazing and unique ones. Here’s is a list of some of my favorite wedding venues in Colorado that have really stood out to me.
Manor House is one of my favorite wedding venues on the front range and right outside of ‘Denver proper.’
This is a wedding photographer’s dream with gorgeous, beautiful naturally lit indoor spaces, amazing views, and attention to detail in every space.
Interior, exterior, it’s perfect. A very modern, classic, and timeless venue. The space itself is gorgeous so you can either jazz it up with your decor or keep it simple with the natural beauty.
Capacity: up to 200 guests
As a lover of all the animals, greenhouses, and flowers, this little gem of a venue is one of my absolute favorites. If an outdoor garden wedding is your dream, be sure to check this venue out. It’s full of lush greenery, giant trees, fresh flowers, greenhouses, llamas, chickens, and lots of unique and fun decor.
The Lyons Farmette is a true farm-to-table wedding. The perfect venue for an outdoor dinner under the stars. In the cutest little town of Lyons, Colorado, it’s closeish to Denver and so worth the drive.
Capacity: up to 125 guests
This is such a unique one! First of all, did you know there are castles in Colorado?! I didn’t.
Cherokee Ranch and Castle is just outside of Colorado Springs with amazing history (and history tours of the castle!), amazing views and gorgeous architecture.
Capacity: up to 150 guests
If you’re looking for insane mountain views with a touch of glamping flare, Piney River Ranch is your place. Gosh, I love this venue.
A bit of a trek to get to as it’s a bumpy, long mountain, dirt road just outside of Vail, Colorado. If you can handle a little ruggedness, this is your place.
They have it all with their views, lake, canoeing, camping, hiking, and cabins. It’s perfect for couples who love the outdoors and want an EPIC view.
Capacity: up to 200 guests
Availability: June-September
The Vail wedding deck is a classic and always so gorgeous. Tucked away at the top of Vail Ski Resort, it makes mountain weddings easy! You can host your wedding ceremony up here and then have a little down time for your guests to either enjoy Vail or head to the reception.
Super unique and fun experience as you take the Gondola up and plenty of space for all your guests to watch you say I do!
*Do note that they book multiple weddings a day on the deck so they ask you to leave the area for their next group pretty quickly. There’s still enough time for your ceremony and to do all your group photos, but I don’t always love the feeling of rushing a little more.
Capacity: up to 180 guests
Availability: June-September
Camp Hale is such a special place and a gorgeous private wedding venue tucked away outside of Vail, Colorado.
The ceremony site is surrounded by an ‘island’ is the perfect backdrop to tie the knot. The reception tent is the perfect way to incorporate the outdoors, the mountains, but stay dry in the elements.
Bonus points for the stocked pond so your guests can fish during cocktail hour.
If you’re looking around the Aspen area, this is yet again, an unreal wedding venue. The views from Pine Creek Cookhouse are one of the best. Take my word.
Capacity: up to 160 guests
Availability: Closed April-June
This one is for my mountain people! Have you ever wanted to take a chairlift to get to your wedding? Perfect. This is for you!
Black Mountain Lodge is a true mountain wedding at a favorite local ski resort, Arapahoe Basin. You and all your guests will take the chairlifts up the mountain and will bring you right to the venue. Another venue with UNREAL views and so unique and fun for all of your guests (as long as they’re okay with heights ;). )
Capacity: up to 200 guests
Availability: June-September
The Barn at Sunset Ranch has one of the most beautiful backdrops of Mt. Princeston. Bonus points for this amazing venue in my favorite little town of Buena Vista for it’s price!
Capacity: up to 160 guests
The Surf Hotel is another favorite in Buena Vista. This hotel is right in the heart of BV right on the river. This hotel has drool-worthy decor, yet feels like you’re tucked away in Europe with its European-inspired architecture.
Their ballroom is perfect for a giant, western band to keep the Colorado roots strong and your people happy. Love this place.
Capacity: up to 150 guests
I’ll end this with maybe the most epic wedding venue in Colorado. Dunton Hot Springs has been a bucket list venue since I’ve been a photographer in Colorado!
If you’re looking for that epic rustic, luxury, remote mountain Colorado wedding venue, look no further. This is what wedding dreams are made of. Did I mention remote?
Weddings require a full buyout of the town (your own ghost town), but elopements can be added onto your lodging!
It’s important to consider that Colorado has such diverse areas ranging from city life in Denver, to small, quaint mountain towns at high altitude, and you can’t forget the mountain biking and winery mecca on the Western Slope.

Hi! I'm Kelsey!
My photography journey started in 2009 when I fell in love with documenting moments and capturing people in their element.
12 years ago, I moved to the amazing little mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado, from Raleigh, North Carolina.
Wild to say I've photographed over 300 weddings and portrait sessions all over. I started this small but mighty team of local mountain photographers to capture whatever season of life you're in.
