1. Aspen Meadows Resort – Modern design meets iconic mountain scenery

Nestled in the heart of Aspen, Aspen Meadows Resort is a dream for couples who love clean lines and striking landscapes. Surrounded by sweeping mountain views and flooded with natural light, it offers an unforgettable backdrop for both ceremony and celebration. The mix of Bauhaus-inspired architecture and wild Colorado beauty makes this a top choice for elegant, modern weddings.

2. Devil’s Thumb Ranch – Rustic luxury in the Rockies

For couples wanting that elevated mountain feel without sacrificing comfort, Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Tabernash is a favorite. Think roaring fireplaces, horse pastures, wildflower meadows, and five-star service all rolled into one. It’s ideal for weekend wedding experiences with a rustic-meets-refined aesthetic.

3. The Little Nell, Aspen – Five-star sophistication at 11,000 feet

The Little Nell is Aspen’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel—and it lives up to the hype. The wedding deck, perched high above the valley, is only accessible by gondola and offers jaw-dropping panoramic views. If black-tie meets mountain luxe is your vision, this is your place.

4. Beanos Cabin, Beaver Creek – Cozy alpine romance with secluded charm

Tucked into the mountains of Beaver Creek, Beanos Cabin feels like something out of a storybook. Couples arrive via sleigh ride in winter or through an aspen-lined trail in summer. With candlelit interiors, gourmet cuisine, and a setting that feels worlds away, it’s perfect for intimate weddings full of romance and alpine charm.

5. Schmid Ranch, Telluride – Wild, untamed, and utterly breathtaking

If you’re looking for sweeping views and a totally one-of-a-kind experience, Schmid Ranch delivers. Set on a working ranch just outside Telluride, it offers 360-degree mountain views, open skies, and an effortlessly raw, natural setting. It’s ideal for couples wanting something truly off the beaten path without losing the elegance of a well-curated wedding.
