5 Reasons to Say I Do in The Colorado Rockies

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of a destination wedding? The beach? Palm trees? Warm weather? We feel you, and at the same time encourage you to consider the mountains! We recently had the chance to experience two of Colorado’s most romantic and lively mountain towns – Breckenridge and Vail. They’re full of wildlife, stunning views, amazing adventures, and romantic getaways! This got us thinking that a Rocky Mountain wedding could be just as luxurious and unforgettable as a typical destination beach wedding.

Not only do these two enchanting towns have some amazing wedding venues like Tenmile Station, The Maggie, The 10th, and The Arrabelle, but they also have endless opportunities for experiences that the whole wedding party will enjoy! Read on to see our list of reasons to say I Do in the Colorado Rockies.

1. The Views and Photo Opps

There’s nothing like waves crashing on the shore while the sun sets, but have you ever seen golden hour from 8,022 ft. above sea level? Now that is breathtaking! There is just something so unique and magical about the way the mountains create a backdrop for the perfect photo opportunities.

2. The Food and Drink

From light bites to extravagant dinners, the Colorado Rockies have it all. Host a luxurious rehearsal dinner followed by s’mores at Cucina, or enjoy an exclusive dining experience at Game Creek by taking a short ride up the Eagle Bahn Gondola to Eagle’s Nest, where you will be escorted to the elegant, European-style chalet nestled in nature.

One Ski Hill Place, A Rock Resort in Breckenridge is at the top of the list when it comes to excellent service and high end luxury.

For the adventurous ones there’s mountain jeep rides, ziplining, mountain coasters, and cocktail making classes. The opportunities are truly endless!
