At one time, only the wealthy could afford to plan and carry out a destination wedding in out-of-the-way resort locales. The average person either used the family church or synagogue, a local restaurant, a social club or, in a few instances, a country club. Today, more and more young couples and their families are choosing to make the wedding location as memorable as the event itself. And many are selecting the ultra-scenic locations that can be found in the Rocky Mountain communities of Estes Park, Vail, Aspen, Summit County or in beautiful Colorado Springs as the top Colorado event venues. Many are coming from Denver and other major cities in adjacent states. A few from as far away as California, Illinois and Minnesota.
Estes Park has many indoor and outdoor facilities ideal for weddings and local people in place to help you with the planning and execution. There are now more than thirty well-known Estes Park sites promoting themselves as available for weddings. And it’s a similar story in he Summit County towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon and Copper Mountain, all known for their scenic vistas in any season. Add a Vail wedding and Aspen to the list, and it’s easy to see that people are flocking to the Rocky Mountains for more than just the wedding facility.
People planning to get married clearly want to hold the ceremony somewhere other than on familiar home ground. In addition to the ceremony itself, they want to hold their receptions in a beautiful environment that will make their memorable day even more memorable in the years ahead. In addition, there are wedding support services that are willing to travel to your destination wedding, such as a Colorado Wedding Photographer. Colorado has suddenly become known for more than just skiing and mountaineering.
Not everyone wants to be a June bride either. So while the majority of weddings taking place in these Rocky Mountain hotspots do happen in summer months, more and more are being planned in Fall and Spring as well. Interestingly enough, some newly marrieds are combining their wedding site with a honeymoon. And why not? How can you find a better location for a honeymoon than Vail, Aspen, or Summit County towns that offer almost inconceivably-wide mountain and forest vistas no matter where you look. A few have even eloped to the Rockies, gotten married here and spent their honeymoons in unforgettably romantic settings.
