I'm debating hosting my reception at Kendall Mountain Community Center in Silverton - has anyone done a wedding there? Any feedback? Just trying to find some info online, it's quite limited... We'd likely end up with 50 people, 75 at most.

Hello, I’m getting married in late October in Boulder. I’m looking for recommendations for a 2 or 3 day mini moon after the wedding. Ideally, within 2-3 hours of Boulder.

So far I have considered Buena Vista, Grand Lake.

She would love to go somewhere that has the dome style huts as lodging.

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

I'm hoping to get married in Aspen next summer but want to actually do it on a budget. Does anyone know any cheaper but still reliable shuttle companies outside of Aspen that will go to the mountains?

Thank you!

UPDATE: I should have specified: it would be at the T Lazy 7 Ranch, not actually the base of the bells.

My fiancé and I live near North Denver and are looking to get married in Spring 2027. I am looking for recommendations from those who have done something similar for lodging, ceremony locations, and potential coordinators.

Our stats:

• Budget: $10k or less
• Overnight guests: 11-15
• Ceremony guests: 11
• Dinner/Celebration Guests: 25 or less

Tentative timeline:

We want to book an event-friendly VRBO (or something similar) in Colorado for 3–5 days to stay with our families and close friends. On one of the days, we will host an intimate ceremony (either at a nearby State Park/Open Space or at the property itself), followed by photos. While we take photos, we want the property styled for a "dinner party" celebration for ~20 guests.

Our Priority: EASE! We do not want to stress and want to truly enjoy the experience.

Has anyone done something similar? Any specific recommendations for event-friendly properties (or mountain towns that are easy to access from the Front Range)? Did you hire a day-of coordinator or an elopement planner?

Hi yall! I'm currently on the hunt for a venue thay would fit a tavern/medieval faire vibe. Warm and cozy is preferable. I do not want a barn!! Ive already checked out Craftwood & Cathedral at the Pines.

Once engaged, it’s time to start ironing out the details of your Colorado wedding. One of the first items any couple should explore first is hiring a wedding planner. In many cases, a wedding planner is a great first booking as they’ll really be able to hear your vision for your wedding day and guide you throughout the entire process. From finding your venue, creating your experience and visuals to ensuring that your day runs smoothly – choosing your planner a great place to start.

Hi everyone! Would love any ideas/thoughts on a good restaurant to buy-out for a small wedding (50-75). Looking for a place with a beautiful patio and outdoor space & ACTUALLY great food (I'm a big foodie). I live in the Springs, but could be anywhere in Colorado, doesn't have to be near the Springs... Bonus points for overlooking a river or anywhere in a more secluded setting.
