“Mountain View Ranch By Wedgewood Weddings was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was fast, helpful, and easy - they made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and value was truly exceptional, with a beautiful and unique space that felt so special and bountiful. On the day of our wedding, my coordinator seamlessly set up all of the decorations and they looked absolutely perfect. They also provided a detailed timeline and ensured we stuck to it, keeping the entire day moving smoothly. Mountain View Ranch made everything as easy as possible, and so much was included in their very reasonable pricing. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.”

“We got married here a little under a year ago and absolutely loved it. Our non-negotiables while looking for a venue were no curfew for music/dancing, having our wedding party stay onsite with us and being able to choose our own vendors. This place hit the mark! You cannot beat the accommodations, it’s such a unique experience for friends and family and we had so much fun getting to stay a few days before our wedding. There are wildflowers all over the property which just adds to the natural bliss and beauty of your big day. The owner and her family are some of the sweetest, most genuine people and we have kept in touch since our big day. We can’t wait to show our kids one day and create even more memories.”

“In our hunt for a venue, we really wanted stunning mountain backdrops for our wedding. We also didn’t want to travel crazy far into the mountains knowing we had a lot of guests who would be flying in from out of state. Echo Mountain perfectly fits those two requirements as it is just under an hour from Golden and feels like you’re not close to the city at all with the stunning views. The venue has a lodge, but we actually decided to go with the tent setup as we wanted to have a bit more outdoors for the day. Echo does need to do all of the alcohol due to licenses, but they are so flexible that it wasn’t an issue at any point. We are super into wine, and they have a close relationship with a local wine store in Kittridge (Piney Wines) where we were able to purchase just a few bottles of wine that we wanted to supplement the bar. The bar also had no issues doing our signature drinks (French 75 and Espresso Martini). Finally, I have only the highest praise for the venue coordinator, Meg. She was absolutely amazing, answering every single email that we sent since we were planning from out of state (which there were a lot). The day of she even helped by hopping on the phone with a cousin who got lost getting to the venue to make sure they made it in time for the ceremony. She was amazing to work with and made Echo the best possible place for us to have our wedding, we loved it!”

“We highly, highly recommend Juniper as the venue for your upcoming wedding! We first visited Juniper 3 years prior to our wedding as lodge guests and knew immediately it was where we wanted to have our wedding. We ultimately did not search for any other venues as we knew just from one visit it was the venue for us. Ashley & Alea have curated such an incredible space and it was the perfect setting for our wedding. As a lesbian couple, it also was a huge draw for us to support a queer, women owned business. We knew we wanted a smaller, intimate wedding & Juniper was the perfect setting for doing so. Their packages were very reasonable & the Meadow Ceremony space was a huge draw for where we envisioned saying I do. They also had an outstanding list of preferred vendors which significantly helped throughout the planning process. As hosts for our wedding, they were easy to work with & also made our day feel extra special! We had some very specific asks in terms of music playlists, bar choices & table scapes which they were very attentive to & accommodated. During our final walk through meeting (which they accommodated virtually since we are an out of town couple!) they were very clear on all the moving pieces for day of & prepping for our wedding Day of - Ashley & Alea were present the entire time & worked very well with all our vendors & wedding planners to make our day 100% smooth. Even with some weather rolling through shortly before our ceremony, they were on deck to adjust as needed. The entire evening went off without a hitch and ultimately the ceremony space & reception space were everything we envisioned, thanks to their execution. If you are looking for an all encompassing wedding venue that is in a gorgeous setting, welcoming environment & with genuinely kind & attentive hosts, Juniper is just the place! Our wedding was the most magical, perfect day & it not only is due to Juniper itself, but especially thanks to Ashley & Alea who we are very grateful for bringing our fairytale wedding come to be! The best part - we can come back and visit our venue anytime we want to! Photos: Kate Ivy Photography”

“Our whole weekend was honestly so stress-free thanks to the team at Clear Creek Inn! When our photographer cancelled at the last minute, Lynn stepped in with her own camera to help capture some of our special moments, and it really showed how much she cared about making our day amazing! The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and cozy, with such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was incredible, the staff was so friendly, and their relaxed but professional approach made everything feel easy throughout the entire process.

About wedding venues in Idaho Springs, CO

What Makes Colorado's Wedding Venues Unique?

Colorado's wedding venues offer something truly special, blending architectural diversity with stunning natural scenery. You'll find sophisticated urban elegance at the Grand Hyatt Denver right alongside the rustic charm of Spruce Mountain Ranch. Every window at the Flagstaff House Restaurant frames breathtaking mountain vistas while Tapestry House By Wedgewood Weddings pairs Victorian beauty with meticulously maintained gardens. Mountain View Ranch takes indoor-outdoor flow to the next level with retractable walls that let you seamlessly connect with nature while keeping guests comfortable. When it comes to costs you'll be pleasantly surprised - Colorado venues typically run between $6,000 and $6,800, which falls on the lower end of what you'd pay nationally where prices range from $6,500 to $12,000.

How Much Does a Colorado Mountain Wedding Cost?

Planning a Colorado mountain wedding for 150 guests? You're looking at around $46,999 total. Here's how that breaks down across your key vendors: - Florists: 16% ($7,466) - Venues: 14% ($6,399) - Catering: 11% ($5,119) - Photography: 10% ($4,622) - Videography: 9% ($4,124) - Wedding Planning: 9% ($4,124) - Bar Services: 9% ($4,095) - Bands and DJs: 3% ($1,500) - Cake and Desserts: 2% ($801) - Hair and Makeup: 1% ($670)

When Should You Book Colorado Wedding Services?

Timing is everything when planning your Colorado wedding. Start with your venue 13 months out - that's 390 days before your big day. Your photographer and wedding planner should be next on the list about 10 months ahead. Most other vendors including your florist caterer and videographer need about 9 months' notice while hair and makeup artists typically want 8 months' heads up. Planning a fall wedding? Book even earlier since September sees the highest demand.

Which Colorado Mountain Regions Offer the Best Wedding Settings?

You'll find perfect settings year-round in Colorado's mountains. The Grange shows off spectacular fall colors with its aspen groves while Della Terra lets you host cozy outdoor ceremonies with snowy peaks as your backdrop. Spring brings wildflower meadows at Wild Basin Lodge and summer celebrations shine under Balistreri Vineyards' pergola-covered patio. September proves most popular combining perfect temperatures with reliable weather.

City venues like Rooftop1630 deliver urban views while mountain locations connect you directly with nature.

What Weather Contingencies Do Colorado Venues Provide?

Colorado venues know how to handle whatever weather comes your way. Mount Vernon Canyon Club keeps you connected to the views through its glass-enclosed reception space while Church Ranch Event Center offers multiple indoor ceremony spots with mountain vistas through massive windows. Want a winter ceremony? Ashley Ridge has heated outdoor pavilions and Meadow Creek Lodge keeps everyone comfortable with covered walkways between venues.

Where Can You Find All-Inclusive Colorado Wedding Packages?
