Tips for Planning the Perfect Wedding in Colorado

There is no doubt that Colorado is one of the most beautiful and scenic of the continental United States. The stunning majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park would make the perfect backdrop to your wedding day. Here are a few tips for planning the perfect wedding in Colorado.

  1. Determine the Type of Wedding You Want
  2. When planning a wedding in Colorado, it’s important to decide on the type of wedding you want. Colorado offers a variety of options, from stunning mountain vistas to bustling cityscapes. Deciding on whether you want an indoor or outdoor wedding, a mountain or city wedding, and taking into consideration seasonal factors such as winter weddings or wildfire season can help guide your wedding planning decisions.

  3. Prepare for the Elevation
  4. Since the Rocky Mountains are so high up, you will want to take proper precautions for your destination wedding, especially if you or anyone who will be attending is not used to the elevation. Make sure plenty of water is on hand so everyone can stay hydrated. If you plan on serving alcohol, be advised that the effects of alcohol will be stronger.

  5. Choose the Perfect Venue
  6. Choosing the perfect wedding venue is crucial to the success of your wedding day. Estes Park offers a range of unique venues that cater to different styles and preferences, and offer breathtaking views. When selecting an event venue, it’s important to consider factors such as the venue’s capacity, amenities, location, and special event restrictions.

  7. Create a Budget and Stick To It
  8. Creating a wedding budget is an essential step in wedding planning and will help you make informed decisions when it comes to selecting vendors, choosing a venue, and other wedding-related expenses. When creating a budget, consider factors such as the guest list, venue rental fees, wedding photographer, catering and bar costs, and other miscellaneous expenses.

  10. Expect the unexpected
  11. When planning a mountain wedding in Colorado, it’s important to prepare for the unexpected. Colorado weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to have backup plans for outdoor weddings and contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances. Consider renting tents or indoor spaces as backup options in case of inclement weather. Keep sunscreen on hand and dress in layers, since it can get chilly very fast in the mountains.
