#1 Breckenridge Ski Resort
Breckenridge is a place where that old-school Colorado charm blends in just right with the stunning mountain scenery. The charming Victorian architecture around town, paired with stunning mountain views of the Tenmile Range, gives you that classic Rocky Mountain wedding feel without all the fuss.
Wedding Spots
For outdoor weddings, the Breckenridge Nordic Center offers a serene snow-dusted forest setting. Indoors, spots like Beaver Run Resort combine cozy fireplace ambiance with fantastic views. Another great venue is the Ten Mile Station, which can be found in a tranquil National Forest setting with an authentic lodge design. This is the perfect place for up to 200 guests.
Why We Love It
The town’s historic district is full of cute streets, local shops, and welcoming vibes. Plus, the views of the Tenmile Range are jaw-dropping. And let’s not forget its affordability. Being a smaller, laid-back spot compared to some mega resorts, Breckenridge offers better deals for intimate weddings.
Guest Perks
This venue has easy access to lodging and dining tailored for small groups. After the vows, guests can enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, or just chilling in the town’s friendly pubs and cafes.
Packages and Pricing
The Ten Mile Station offers venue packages starting around $12,000. This includes mountain shuttle transportation, chairs, linens, and more. Food and beverage minimums usually start at $7,000 but vary depending on details.
#2 Keystone Resort
Couples looking for a sweet spot that offers the possibility for a chill and scenic celebration are in for a treat. Keystone Resort offers just the right mix of adventure and relaxation, ideal if you want a snowscape wedding without the crowds. It’s less crowded than some big resorts but still stacks plenty of charm and mountain spirit.
Wedding Spots
The Mountain Vista Ballroom and Kindred Courtyard are standout choices because they allow couples to choose anything from an elegant ballroom with oversized windows to open-air settings with fire pits and mountain vistas. These spots can accommodate weddings up to 200 guests.
Let’s not forget the Lakeside, which is always a hit. It’s a beautiful setting with winter reflections off the water and a classic lodge nearby for receptions. And the best option for you may be the possibility of hosting your ceremony right on the ski slopes.
Why We Love It
Keystone’s stunning mountain peaks and fresh air set a natural stage for exchanging vows outside or inside a cozy lodge.
Guest Perks
Your guests will not be bored in Keystone. They can enjoy plenty of activities like ice skating and snow tubing, which are fun extras for your small group. Plus, the resort has easy parking and accommodation options tailored for intimate groups.
Packages and Pricing
Keystone’s wedding packages are known for balancing comfort and cost, making them perfect for couples who want a simple, beautiful wedding without breaking the bank. The venue packages start around $5,000 and include linens, chairs, and glassware. The food and beverage minimums begin around $5,000.
#3 Copper Mountain
Copper Mountain is a cozy and family-friendly venue that brings a laid-back vibe with equally stunning views. Couples love it because it's less about fuss and more about good times and great scenery.
Wedding Spots
Founders Hall is a notably cozy lodge, great for small indoor ceremonies, offering those rustic touches that many love. For outdoor lovers, the resort’s scenic overlooks offer unbeatable snowy options for your photos and vows. While Copper doesn’t have a detailed public wedding site like Breckenridge or Keystone, many local planners and vendors specialize in Copper weddings.
Why We Love It
If you’ve ever visited Copper’s village, you know that it has a warm and friendly feel. Not to mention that the majestic and inviting classic Colorado is the perfect mountain background for your photos.
Guest Perks
This is a great venue for small groups who want to keep things cozy and interactive. Copper Mountain offers shuttle services, easy access to rentals, and family-friendly dining options.
Packages and Pricing
Copper tends to keep things straightforward and budget-friendly. The staff mainly focuses on what really matters, and that's your celebration with loved ones against a stunning mountain stage. You will need to contact them and request a proposal to get the pricing to see if it fits into your budget.
