Choosing our favorite Colorado mountain venues is nearly impossible! Let’s be honest, Colorado has some of the most amazing wedding venues in the world, but, with help from our brides, staff and vendors, we have come with our five favorite mountain venues.

Adventurous couples craving an authentic mountain experience will love Camp Hale, a 90-acre, rustic ranch venue outside of Vail, Colorado.  It’s ceremony space, on a small island in the middle of a 5-acre lake, surrounded by mountain peaks is seriously amazing!

Beyond the ceremony space, the camp has a beautiful outdoor cocktail area, along with a large lakeside tent that can accomodate 300 guests.  At the end of the evening, the bride and groom, along with their guests, can stargaze and make s’mores around a bonfire.  Lodging is available on-site.  

It goes without saying that the photos at Camp Hale are incredible.  In fact, The Bridal Collection is planning a winter style shoot at the venue in February. We can’t wait to show you the photos.  Stay tuned!

Located in the heart of Vail, yet surrounded by 50-acres of park and open space, this venue gives you the convenience of an in-town location with the feel of a mountain lodge. Couples can say their “I Dos” outdoors on a patio next to the Gore River or get married in a nearby mountain chapel.  The reception space is a huge stone and timber lodge that can host 300 people with great views of the surrounding mountains.

This Colorado mountain wedding venue allows you to select your own vendors so if you want grandma to bake your cake or your best man to be the DJ, Donovan Pavilion is a great choice.
