Colorado has become a hot spot for destination weddings, and it’s no secret why! The state is beautiful and easy to travel to from virtually anywhere in the country. As Colorado wedding planners, we’ve noticed more and more couples opting to host a wedding weekend here so their loved ones can enjoy all their destination of choice has to offer. Accordingly, many want to book a venue with on-site accommodations. Not only is this more convenient than booking a venue and hotel block, but guests appreciate staying in the same place for the weekend instead of shuttling back and forth. Are you looking for a list of the top Colorado wedding venues with lodging? Not to worry, you’ve come to the right place! Today, we’re sharing three of our favorites, which also rank as some of the best overall wedding venues in the state. Plus, we’re organizing them by destination to streamline your search. Best Colorado Wedding Venues with LodgingBeaver Creek | Park Hyatt Beaver CreekCan’t get enough of Colorado’s snowy slopes? Jet off to the ski village of Beaver Creek near the picturesque Vail Valley to tie the knot at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Whether you envision a cozy winter wedding in one of the elegant ballrooms or an outdoor fête overlooking the majestic mountain peaks, the options for customization are endless. This all-inclusive venue welcomes destination wedding couples, offering plenty of package enhancements, including guest accommodations and the option to host multiple events over your wedding weekend. The 190 guest rooms are comfortable and spacious, with many boasting views of the Rocky Mountains. One thing’s for sure: your guests will enjoy a quintessential Colorado experience at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek! Estes Park | Skyview at Fall River VillageIf epic mountain views are what you’re after, Skyview at Fall River Village will deliver them. With this venue, you’ll enjoy proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado’s crowning jewel. Exchange your vows on the rooftop overlooking Long’s Peak and the Continental Divide, then head into the reception space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wrap-around deck to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings from a temperature-controlled environment. Did we mention the rooftop has an open-air canopy so you can have your ceremony outdoors, no matter the forecast? The venue’s wedding package includes two hours of complimentary use of the Fall River Village community room, perfect for hosting a welcome party or morning-after brunch. Moreover, your guests will enjoy a comfortable stay in one of the village’s two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos, the ideal home base for attending your event and exploring Estes Park.

Colorado Springs | The BroadmoorThere’s a reason that wedding professionals and couples consistently rank The Broadmoor among the top wedding venues in the state. As the resort’s preferred planner for over a decade, we may be biased, but we can’t help agreeing! No matter what you envision for your special day, we can bring it to life at The Broadmoor. Trade vows in a traditional ceremony inside the Pauline Chapel, then host a black-tie gala in one of the ballrooms. Or, say “I do” against the dramatic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, followed by an intimate dinner with a charming, rustic ambiance inside the Fish House. The sky’s the limit! As a top-of-the-line resort, The Broadmoor boasts plentiful, varied accommodations for lodging your wedding guests. There are over 784 guest rooms, so space is no concern, plus a selection of suites, cottages, brownstones, and the elegant Estate House (perfect for sleeping over the night before and getting ready with your bridal party!).

Vendors:As Colorado wedding planners, many of our couples are destination wedding clients looking to tie the knot surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains! While planning a Colorado destination wedding doesn’t need to be stressful with the help of a planner, it does necessitate getting a head start on sending your save-the-dates and invitations. Keep reading to discover the ultimate destination wedding invitation timeline and answers to FAQs. Destination Wedding Invitation TimelineWhen Should I Send Save-the-Dates?Sending save-the-dates is crucial since these pieces of correspondence let your guests know when and where you’ll say “I do.” Then, they can block out their calendars accordingly! For a Colorado destination wedding, we recommend sending your save-the-dates up to one year and no later than eight months in advance. This timeline will give your guests sufficient notice to take off work, make travel arrangements, arrange childcare, etc. When Should I Create My Wedding Website?Create your wedding website before mailing your save-the-dates. Doing this is crucial so that your guests have a place to go to access more information about the wedding. At a minimum, it should cover travel basics, such as the wedding’s location and nearby accommodations, but ideally, it will give your guests a complete picture of what to expect. Your wedding planner can help you with this! When Should I Order My Wedding Invitations?If you’re ordering custom or semi-custom invitations, you’ll want to hire your stationer eight months to a year in advance. The best artists usually have limited slots available that fill up fast. So, don’t wait to book your first choice! However, if you’re using an online stationery vendor like Minted, you can wait to order your invitations until one month before mailing them. When’s the best time to send destination wedding invitations? Two to four months before the big day. When Should I Set My RSVP Date?Regardless of when you send your invitations, you should set your RSVP date two to three weeks before the wedding. That will give you plenty of time to follow up with guests who haven’t responded. Moreover, it will allow you and your vendors time to finalize table assignments and create your day-of paper details. How Can I Track Guests’ Responses Online?Online RSVP tracking has become common for laidback and formal weddings alike. Not only does this method give your guests an easy way to respond that doesn’t require a trip to the post office, but it also reduces the printing and postage costs you and your partner are responsible for. Most purveyors of wedding websites also offer an online RSVP function. When you create your website, be sure to select a service with all the functions you require. For example, if you’re hosting a destination wedding weekend with more than one event, you’ll need to collect multiple RSVPs from each guest. Or, if your guests are choosing an entrée, you’ll need to include a meal selection option.
