Historic Colorado Wedding Venues

Hotel Colorado was built in 1893 by Walter Devereux, a silver baron and early settler of Glenwood Springs, when the West was booming with the excitement of gold and silver mining. Fondly called the “Grande Dame,” Hotel Colorado was built to attract the wealthy and elite, featuring many luxurious amenities. Throughout its history, the hotel has been used as a temporary White House, as a place of healing for the U.S. Navy during the World War II years, and a community focal point from its inception. Ownership of the hotel changed hands frequently until the early 1990s, when the hotel was gradually restored to its former glory.

Today, Hotel Colorado is a beautiful step back in time, inviting you to enjoy the cool mountain air, healing hot springs, exceptional service, and memories made with your loved ones. With its all-inclusive amenities, Hotel Colorado offers the perfect space for you and your loved ones to celebrate your wedding.

Spruce Mountain Ranch was once a section of terrain on the Ben Lomond Ranch in 1871. The Ben Lomond Ranch property comprised thousands of acres of land, being a successful dairy farm and used to cultivate oats, millet, and hay. Throughout the following decades, the Ranch’s ownership changed hands multiple times and was used for different farming purposes, including for cattle and farming wheat and oats. In March 1999, Tom and Lois Ames purchased the property and used part of the acreage to develop what would become known as Spruce Mountain Ranch.

Today, Spruce Mountain Ranch is a beautiful, scenic venue with two different ceremony sites. Here, Colorado style comes to life with rustic elegance. Spruce Mountain Ranch provides a thoughtful, historic space with handcrafted details, set against the backdrop of sweeping Rocky Mountain views.
