The Lodge at Breckenridge has one of the most incredible views of Breckenridge Resort and is such a beautiful wedding venue in Summit County! It holds such a special little place in my heart. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph 50+ weddings and elopements here!
They’re one of Breckenridge’s few venues that host weddings year-round, with events ranging from 2-person elopements to 150 guests.

What’s the best time of year to get married at The Lodge?
The Lodge is available year-round for weddings or elopements! Is a winter wonderland your dream or is summer more your style?
You can expect snow until April/May and then mid to late June starts the summer season. If you’re looking for a fall wedding, mid-September to early October is peak fall.
Summer weddings
Summers in Breckenridge are incredible with so much to do! You can expect perfect temperatures in the 70s, chilly nights, and plan for afternoon thunderstorms that usually pass by pretty quickly. There are lots of hiking trails near The Lodge and it’s a perfect time to explore!
The deck is west-facing and on sunny days, the sun can be pretty bright for your guests. Make sure your guests have sunglasses or sunscreen. The sun will be setting later (around 8PM) and we’ll get the best lighting for pictures as the sun goes behind Breckenridge Mountain.
- Peak summer: July-September
- Peak fall: Mid to end of September
Winter weddings
Winter weddings at The Lodge are so magical! It’s the perfect winter backdrop with snow covering Breckenridge resort.
It can get pretty chilly so make sure you have on layers, and shoes with traction that will do well in the snow. Supplying blankets, hand warmers, and maybe a bar with hot drinks for your guests would make a fun winter touch.
The sun sets earlier (around 4/5PM), we’ll see earlier ceremony times. Give yourself plenty of time in your timeline to do all of your photos before it gets dark.
Winter season: December-April
Cocktail hour space
Cocktail hour is the perfect time to take advantage of the views on the deck and enjoy hanging out with all of your guests.
If you want to be present for your cocktail hour, get all the family photos and couples portraits out of the way before the ceremony.
Reception space
Most couples will say that the reception space isn’t jaw-dropping on its own. It’s more of a blank slate: clean and neutral with rustic lodge touches.
Add greenery, lighting, or drapery can really make the space feel styled and intentional and allows you to really make it your own.
Staying at the Lodge at Breckenridge
- 57 rooms at The Lodge
- The Alpine House or Summit House are rental homes onsite
- Shuttle for your guests
- Bus stop right outside of the lodge
- Lots of nearby rental homes that are walkable
- Dog friendly
- 5 minute drive downtown | 10 minute drive to ski resort
There’s no shortage of places for your guests to stay! The Lodge itself is super spacious with 57 rooms. On-site is The Alpine House or Summit House which is available to rent if you want your group to all stay together instead of different hotel rooms.
There’s also lots of home rentals within walking distance if your group wants to rent one or a few larger properties for everyone to stay at.
Getting to The Lodge
The Lodge is just under a 10-minute drive from downtown Breckenridge up Baldy Mountain with some of the best views in Breck. If you’re staying on-site, they have a shuttle and provide drives into town. Note that Uber and Lyft are available, but not always running or reliable to get a driver. There’s also a free bus (Boreas Pass Loop) into town with a bus stop right outside of The Lodge (Overlook Drive). I use this all the time!
I recommend getting a rental car as there are lots of amazing spots nearby to explore! The roads getting to The Lodge are steep, so I recommend having a 4-wheel drive.

Can I elope at The Lodge?
We’ve photographed anything from 2-person elopements to large, full-size weddings here. They can accommodate many different sizes! You may be able to rent just the deck VS renting out the entire reception space.
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.
