VENUES & ELOPEMENT LOCATIONS
CLAY VENUES
A beautifully minimalist venue right in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs, this modern and industrial venue is the perfect canvas for your wedding. The owners and wedding coordinator are some of the best in the business, and they genuinely care about all of their couples!
Kinship Landing
This hotel is right in the middle of Downtown Colorado Springs and its design is inspired by traveling and gathering. Their rooms are the best (we staycation here a lot!) and would be ideal for your guests, since it is in the middle of the city. Their greenhouse can be rented out for your rehearsal dinner, wedding, or anything else you might want it for!
GARDEN OF THE GODS
Garden of the Gods is a very unique city park in the middle of Colorado Springs. However, you wouldn’t know it when you visit with all the secret and empty spots around the park. You won’t need a permit and it’s free - they kindly ask that you respect the Leave No Trace ethics!
Paint Mines Interpretive Park
If you are looking for something completely unique and off the beaten path, this park is probably for you. Located in Calhan, it is only a short 40 minutes from Colorado Springs and 1.5 hours from Denver. There are many paths, nooks, and caves for you to explore. With all the rolling hills surrounding the park and these rock formations deep in the ground, this is a fantastic option for you.
WOODLAND PARK
This location is a bit of a secret, and it has everything you could want. A massive hill overlooking Pikes Peak and the front range, aspen groves and dense forest, a large reservoir — and there are some great VRBO’s nearby next to some incredibly delicious restaurants.
The Loft House
Could this be the prettiest intimate wedding/elopement venue - honestly, probably yes. This Airbnb has an attached small venue space in the Black Forest, which is located 20 minutes away from Downtown Colorado Springs. Imagine how stunning your getting-ready photos would be here!? Any elopement or portraits here would be dreamy! Their instagram has more venue images than their website, and both the Airbnb and venue are perfection!
PLACES TO STAY
As you read above, you can stay at the cozy gathering styled Kinship Landing Hotel, or book the Scandinavian inspired Loft House in the Black Forest or why not stay in the Glen Eyrie Castle? These options are my favorite for a local experience, and I will include a few pricier (and so worth it) accommodations below.
Worth the Splurge:
Spectacular Views Airbnb (we’ve photographed a reception here and their house should be in a magazine!)
The Broadmoor Resort (Forbes Five-Star Hotel - breathtaking to walk around too!)
Sleeps 25+ Airbnb near The Broadmoor (great for family or bridal party!)
Where to EAT & DRINK
It’s hard to narrow down a good food scene, but these are
some of our favorites. All of these restaurants are either
Locally Owned, Allergy-Friendly, or Worth the Splurge.
