Meeting and event venues in Colorado

Planning a wedding in Colorado

Colorado is the place for a mountain wedding: ski towns, ranches and lodges in the Rockies, with Denver as an easy gateway. The state also stands out legally, as couples can solemnise their own marriage without an officiant.

When to marry

June to September is the main season, with green valleys, wildflowers and long days; late September brings golden aspens. Summer afternoons often bring short thunderstorms, so many ceremonies are held in the morning or late in the day. Winter suits ski-resort weddings, with snow on the mountain passes.

Getting guests there

Denver International is the main gateway, with direct flights from across the US and some from Europe. Aspen, Vail (Eagle County), Telluride, Montrose and Colorado Springs have smaller airports closer to the mountains. Mountain roads can be slow in winter, so plan transfers carefully.

Lodges, ranches and resorts

Ski resorts and mountain lodges in Aspen, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Telluride, guest ranches in wide valleys, estates near Estes Park on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, and historic hotels and industrial spaces in Denver. Many mountain resorts host the ceremony on a terrace or a summit reached by gondola.

Marrying in Colorado

Couples apply for a marriage licence from the clerk and recorder in any Colorado county; there is no residency requirement, and the licence is valid throughout the state. Colorado allows self-solemnisation, so a couple can marry without an officiant. Ceremonies on national forest or park land generally need a permit.

Questions and answers

Which venues in Colorado can host 100 guests or more?

20 of the 21 venues publish a capacity of 100 guests or more: Hotel Jerome, The Little Nell, The Stanley Hotel, The Broadmoor, Hotel Boulderado, Strater Hotel, and 14 more.

Which venues in Colorado have rooms for guests to stay?

8 of the 21 venues are hotels; the largest, The Stanley Hotel, has 220 rooms. For the others, ask the events team about accommodation on site or nearby.

What kinds of venues are listed in Colorado?

12 event spaces, 8 hotels, and 1 estate.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Can you marry yourselves in Colorado?

Yes. Colorado allows self-solemnisation: once the couple has a licence from a county clerk, they can marry without an officiant, then return the signed licence to the county. A friend or officiant can still lead the ceremony if you prefer.

When is the best time for a mountain wedding in Colorado?

June to September, with late September popular for the golden aspens. Summer afternoons often bring thunderstorms, so plan a sheltered alternative. Winter weddings work well at ski resorts.

Where to get married in the Colorado mountains?

Aspen, Vail and Beaver Creek for luxury resorts, Telluride and Breckenridge for historic mountain towns, Estes Park near Rocky Mountain National Park, and guest ranches in the valleys for a western setting.
