About this venue

For couples seeking an elite and unique destination, Platte River Fort offers a historical and relaxed backdrop for an unforgettable indoor or outdoor wedding. Our wedding venue offers four beautiful ceremony sites and a spacious courtyard to house your guests for the perfect reception all year round. Each couple is different and each wedding, unique. This is why we offer three novel ceremony sites for your perfect day. Choose between a modern farmhouse themed barn, an upper patio with views of the Rocky Mountains, or our lush southern tree grove with views of our river bottom pasture and herd of Texas longhorns. After the ceremony, venture over to the cozy farmhouse style barn or the upscale Platte River Fort Courtyard for your classic, chic, and spacious reception. We believe each couple deserves a wedding that is both exclusive and intimate. Explore our wedding ceremony and reception sites and let Platte River Fort bring your dream to life!

    The Platte River Fort is an absolutely beautiful venue! We had our wedding there and I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else. We coordinated with Cindy and she was beyond helpful helping us book and getting everything ready for our big day. The only reason I wouldn’t give this place 5 stars is all of the hidden fees that were not mentioned or included in the package we booked. Long story short, you will all of a sudden find yourself paying them hourly after you have paid for a whole package and then some. The owners and management need to be more clear on every detail. And of course as many places and events are, the alcohol and bartenders are triple the amount. It would’ve been cheaper to hire a third party bartending vendor to come serve.
