Some people say a wedding isn’t for the couple really, but for the guests — all of the decor, the delicious food, and the meticulously-planned scheduling to ensure the experience is one to remember (and talk about) for months and years to come.
Maybe you agree with that statement, or maybe you don’t, but we believe there’s something beautiful about creating an event that includes the special people in your life, especially when it’s in a scenic destination. One of the most important things to consider during the planning process for events with guests from out of town is where everyone will stay.
Luckily, we have some ideas. We’ve put together a list of over 20 incredible Colorado wedding venues with lodging on site so that your friends and family can share in this new chapter of your love story.

Open late June through September, Piney River Ranch offers gorgeous mountain views with plenty of event space.

Our friend Jennie Crate has a great guide on Piney River Ranch if you’d like to check it out!
