“Glenwood Canyon Resort is an exceptional choice for any wedding or event venue. Their team is always incredibly punctual, informational, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provide is truly breathtaking - the venue always feels like a serene oasis nestled in the mountains. Jenn and her team are always instrumental in bringing any vision to life and making the couple's special day perfect. The location is outstanding, with a wonderful view.

Venue on the Rocks 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Estes Park, CO
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

From quality coffee and handcrafted cocktails to our duck pond and the peaceful flow of the Big Thompson River, everything we do is rooted in one simple belief: people deserve a space that helps them slow down, connect, and celebrate the moments that matter. Our story began in 2007 with Coffee on the Rocks. We wanted to build a cozy spot where locals and visitors could enjoy a warm drink, watch the wildlife wander by, and take in the beauty of Estes Park. Coffee on the Rocks became a gathering place and a reminder of how special it is to enjoy the mountains with loved ones. People kept asking if they could host events here to celebrate life’s biggest moments. In 2022, we made it happen. Venue on the Rocks was born to celebrate with warmth, ease, and natural beauty that turns celebrations into unforgettable memories. No matter what you’re celebrating with us, we look forward to helping you feel calm, cared for, and completely ready to enjoy your day.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Lush gardens

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No venue-provided food services
  • Not wheelchair accessible
“Venue on the Rocks was not only the most affordable and accommodating venue we toured, but every single guest complimented how beautiful our venue was! We had the most beautiful perfect wedding here in June where the days are about 75 or less and the nights are spent around their fire pits and on the dance floor :) Lydia was incredible to work with as were the owners. Lydia helped us throughout wedding planning and was on site to help day of. We had a food truck that was set up easily and the DJ was also easily accommodated. Our wedding was about 65 people and we easily could’ve fit more in the venue, but it wasn’t so big that it felt like 65 was too little. We had both our ceremony and reception at VOTR. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! LGBTQ friendly as well :)”

“Our late August wedding at The Landing was INCREDIBLE!! We did a full buyout with a Thursday welcome dinner & Friday wedding. We had about 60 people for the welcome and 97 for the main event. The Landing felt like the perfect size for our guest count. We LOVED that The Landing had on-site lodging - it was a major selling point for us. Having the whole wedding party and our immediate families staying literally on the property both nights was SO fun and SO convenient! It also provided the perfect way for our family (mostly coming from other states) to come out a couple days early to explore RMNP before the big day. We loved having everyone there, staying on the river, for the whole week/weekend!! Jen, Jay, and the whole team at The Landing are a dream to work with! Jen was incredibly prompt, kind, honest, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. AND, of course, the entire property is STUNNING!! From the rooms, the cabins, & the reception hall, to the river, the bridge, the meadow, and the incredible views of Long's Peak - it really felt like a dream come true! It was the idyllic, fairytale-esqu, Swiss Alps chalet vibe we'd always wanted. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and charming the venue was. We loved that we could keep decor more on the simple end and really let the space speak for itself.”
