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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
