“The team at Mount Vernon Canyon Club was a pleasure to work with. Their communication was very straightforward, which we appreciated as we planned our wedding on a tight budget. The venue itself is beautiful, with stunning mountain views that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. One of the best parts was that they offered us a discounted rate for having a morning wedding, which was a huge help given our limited budget. Overall, Mount Vernon Canyon Club exceeded our expectations and we're so glad we chose them to host our special day.”

“Trying to plan a wedding on your own is not for the weak of heart, booking Hummingbird Hill was the absolute easiest decision we had to make. Noah and Serena made our stay and weekend the absolute best. We had been in communication with them for almost 10 months, planning and discussing every detail. They offered photography, shuttle service options, greeted us with a bouquet of flowers, hung twinkle lights over our ceremony area, allowed us to stop at the home for measurements, even stayed for our wedding and helped with tear down and cleaning. When we booked their home we didn’t expect such involvement and love and support they offered. I could not recommend hummingbird hill enough. We are already planning on coming back with friends for our 1 year anniversary.”

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides catering services
  • Exudes style
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • No on-site guest accommodations
“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 just celebrated my son’s beautiful wedding at the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk, Colorado, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Nestled in the stunning Rocky Mountains, this venue made for the most magical mountain wedding setting we could have imagined. A huge shout-out to Kelly Chandler — she went way above and beyond her duties to ensure every single detail was flawless. From planning to execution, she handled everything with such care and professionalism that we never had a single worry. She truly made our family’s special day stress-free and spectacular! Our host, Alvin Pasagui, was incredible as well. He made sure every detail was covered, the accommodations were top-notch (spacious, luxurious rooms with amazing views), and everything ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious — every course was a hit with our guests, and the presentation was elegant and perfect for a wedding celebration. The entire casino and resort staff were the best we’ve ever experienced — friendly, attentive, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. Everything felt seamless and high-end. If you’re looking for a memorable wedding in the mountains with luxury, great food, fantastic service, and that perfect blend of casino excitement and romantic resort vibes, I cannot recommend the Ameristar Black Hawk enough.

“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”

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.
