CHOOSE THE PERFECT SEASON FOR YOUR COLORADO DESTINATION WEDDING

The Gunnison Valley is a scenic setting for an adventurous Colorado destination wedding any time of year. 

In summer, meadows of knee-high wildflowers create a picture-perfect setting for an outdoor mountain wedding ceremony and reception. In fall, the quaking aspens display brilliant gold, burnt orange, and red colors, providing incredible contrast against mountain peaks. In winter, a thick blanket of fluffy, white snow covers the mountain landscapes providing brides and grooms with ample dramatic photo opportunities. Spring means rivers running full, the first peek at wildflowers and snow remaining in the high country, providing a delightful contrast of seasons.

Whether you’re planning a mountaintop elopement or a more traditional ceremony at a church or venue, the Elk Mountains will provide a scenic backdrop for photos on your special day.
