Today I’m sharing a list of the best barn wedding venues in Colorado.  I got married at a barn myself and I’ve scoured Colorado to compile a list of the prettiest Colorado farm wedding venues with barns. In this article, you’ll find sprawling mountain ranch wedding venues and old historic barns too.  Each of these Colorado rustic wedding venues on farms and ranches feature a beautiful barn on the property available for weddings to use for your rustic Colorado wedding.  I’ve organized this roundup of Colorado barn wedding venues by location to make it easy for you to narrow a list for site visits.  You can also check out the map to find where each of these picturesque Colorado barns are located.  I’ve done my best to list these Colorado wedding barns’ defining features, capacity, and a rough idea of pricing when possible. 

If you own a Colorado barn wedding venue and would like to have your barn included on this list, be sure to get in touch with me!  There are couples out there who have been dreaming about hosting weddings in a barn and want to find yours!

Whether you’re looking for a barn with a ton of historic old charm or if you’re looking for a more modern barn with new and elegant features, you’re sure to find some Colorado Ranch wedding venues with barns that will be perfect for your wedding day. I’ve started with the Denver barn wedding venues and branched out from there. You’re sure to find lots of amazing barns you can rent for parties on the list below.     

West Denver Barn Weddings in Colorado

Below you’ll find the best barns available for weddings located on the west side of the Denver metro area.  Although technically located in the mountains, I have included Evergreen as part of the western Denver metro suburbs due to its close proximity to the city

The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park
26624 N Turkey Creek Rd, Evergreen, CO 80439
(303) 674-0556

The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park is located in Evergreen, Colorado and takes less than 40 minutes to get to from Denver.  It’s an incredibly unique barn wedding venue because it has a cemetery on the grounds with roaming buffalo in the backdrop. The barn itself is known for its stunning stained glass windows and it can fit up to 200 guests if you use all three levels of the barn.  The main level can fit 100 guests and the loft area can fit another 50 and the basement level of the barn has room for seating too.. It’s also one of the cheaper barn wedding venues in Colorado that you’ll find. They have pricing that ranges from $3,300-$6,500 depending on the day of the week and time of year that you wish to reserve the barn.  Be sure to get in touch with them to find more information about booking this pretty rustic barn for your Colorado wedding.

Evergreen Red Barn
27826 Alabraska Ln, Evergreen, CO 80439
(303) 674-1838

The Evergreen Red Barn is only 5 minutes away from the barn listed above.  As the name suggests, this barn looks different because it is a classic red barn.  This 11 acre property has a ton of beautiful photogenic opportunities with peaceful winding paths through the woods.  They maintain their grounds very well. One feature I really like about this barn is the covered outdoor balcony allowing your guests to enjoy the outdoor nature even after the party has moved indoors.  They can host up to 75 guests on the main level of the barn and another 50 up in the balcony area. The Evergreen Red Barn is also one of Colorado’s best priced wedding venues with pricing ranging from $3,200-$4,900.

Little Eden Plantscaping
15550 W 72nd Ave, Arvada, CO 80007
(303) 422-3336

Little Eden is a nursery with Tropical Greenhouses that allow their space to be rented for events.  They have an outdoor covered pavilion on their property which would make a nice ceremony space as well as multiple lush greenhouse spaces that would make for some gorgeous photos.  Who doesn’t want to feel like they’re in the middle of a rainforest right here in Colorado?  They also do plant rentals so I bet they’d have some great ideas for turning your wedding reception into a lush jungle style setting.  Get in touch with them today to see how their little farm oasis in the middle of Arvada could be used for your wedding plans!

North Star Gatherings
3354 Little Bear Creek Rd, Idaho Springs, CO 80452
(720) 608-0167

North Star Gatherings is a fairly new barn wedding venue built in the mountains of Evergreen, not very far from the Denver Metro area. This is the perfect barn to get married in if you’re looking for something that blends a rustic location feel with something a little more sleek and modern. This gorgeous barn has a traditional barn shape on the outside but the inside definitely feels more classy and upscale than the average barn wedding venue. I absolutely love the views from their deck. You can also host a fairly large wedding here with up to 170 people and the venue rental price ranges from between $8,900 to $10,200 depending on your wedding date.

Red Barn & Calving Barn at Heritage Lakewood
801 S Yarrow St, Lakewood, CO 80226
303-987-7806

Over in the Belmar area of Lakewood is a really cool place known as the Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park (formerly known as Heritage Lakewood Center).  This place is so beautiful that I have suggested it for portrait sessions in the past. It’s a collection of vintage buildings with historic significance.  One such building is the Red Barn. It houses a collection of vintage tractors, but you can rent the lawn area in front of the Red Barn for wedding ceremonies.  The Red Barn lawn can host 150-200 people and costs $149-$169 per hour.

Just a short walk away is my favorite barn in this Belmar park which is the Calving Barn.  It’s a rustic wood barn which I think looks beautiful in photos. The Calving Barn is small so it would only work for those interested in hosting a smaller affair.  It can seat up to 25 people inside or you can host 40 without seating. The price for renting the Calving Barn ranges from $49-$69 per hour which is a real bargain.

East Denver Farm Style Wedding Venues

Once Upon a Time Events
31242 Wedemeyer Rd, Kiowa, CO 80117
(720) 838-7608

Once Upon a Time Events is a unique farm style barn wedding venue east of Denver in the plains area of Kiowa, Colorado.  They have a ton of great things to offer including a 3,200 square foot red barn with a lovely wood deck on the exterior, white linens plus tables and chairs for up to 175 guests, as well as beautiful outdoor space with views and outdoor gas heaters. After getting the chance to photograph this unique barn wedding venue on the eastern plains of Colorado, I can say that one thing that I really love is that they have a ton of pretty string lights cascading from the ceiling and it really makes for a pretty glowing backdrop in the wedding photos. Oh and of course, the various adorable alpacas just roaming around loving life really add to the rustic atmosphere too. All of this and more is offered at a very competitive rates too.  Once Upon a Time Events offers full day events for $2,750 Monday-Thursday, $3,950 for Fridays and Sundays, and $4,250 for a Saturday.  For couples on a budget looking for a beautiful barn wedding venue in Colorado, Once Upon a Time Events is a great option to look into!

South Denver Colorado Barn Wedding Venues

The South Denver Metro area is home to some really awesome historic barn options for your wedding day.  South Denver has some of the best Denver barn weddings around! See the list of beautiful Colorado barns in South Denver below!

The Barn at Raccoon Creek
7301 W Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO 80123
(720) 287-8188

The Barn at Raccoon Creek is a really neat barn wedding venue in south Denver down in Littleton.  This is a unique barn wedding venue because it mixes a farm feel with the refined elegance of a golf course wedding.  I first photographed there nearly 10 years ago, but in that time, they’ve really invested a lot into making this cute barn venue even better than it already was.  They still have their beautiful historic barns on the property, but they’ve since built a brand new bridal farmhouse and renovated the groom hang out quarters too.  They can host dinners inside the barn along with dancing and you can also opt to use their large white tent right next door too. One of my favorite features of this venue is the huge grassy lawn with string lights hanging overhead.  It’s the perfect place for cocktail hour where guests can drink and play lawn games while you finish up your family photos. Be sure to check in directly with the Barn at Raccoon Creek to find out wedding pricing and everything they have to offer at their beautiful golf course farm venue!

Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms
8500 W Deer Creek Canyon Rd, Littleton, CO 80128
(720) 865-3500

If you head a little more south down to the area next to Chatfield State Park you’ll find Chatfield Farms at Denver Botanic Gardens.  This wedding venue will always be one of my very favorites because it’s where I got married myself! I’ve photographed countless weddings at this gorgeous barn wedding venue in Littleton and I never get bored with the scenery it has to offer.  As the name suggests, there are tons of pretty garden spaces (I particularly love the gardens on the east side of the large red barn). I also love that there is a lovely wooded area that you can wander around getting lost in and making pretty wedding portraits too.  This is a historic farm property with plenty of farm houses, old rustic wood sheds and barn like structures, and even a quaint one room schoolhouse! Be sure to take a look at the link I’ve posted above to see tons of photos and an even more in depth write up for my favorite barn wedding venue in the Denver area!

Boulder Colorado Farm Wedding Venues

I grew up in Longmont which is part of the Boulder County area and this part of Colorado is full of beautiful farmland and open spaces that have managed to somehow stay intact throughout the years thanks to aggressive acquisition and management of surrounding lands.  Boulder is rabid about their love of fresh farm produce as well which supports a thriving scene of independent farms. There are a plethora of stunning barn wedding options on the farms in Boulder County. Check out the beautiful Boulder wedding barns available for rent for your wedding celebration on these farms in the list below!

The Boulder Farmhouse
4937 N 109th St, Longmont, CO 80504
970-485-5677

The Boulder Farmhouse is located about 12 minutes south of Longmont and roughly 15 minutes east of Boulder in an area known for its beautiful farmland.  This historic farm provides a Farm to table wedding season from June-September and costs $5,000 for up to 60 guests. They can accommodate up to 160 guests (or more) if you choose to set up a tent in one of their pastures.  When hosting your wedding at the Boulder Farmhouse, you’ll have access to most of the property which is full of beautiful photo opportunities and views of the Boulder mountains. You’ll get to use the property from 10 am-10 pm and can host your dinner in the adorable red barn if you have 60 guests or less.  This Boulder farm wedding venue has everything you typically picture for a quintessential farm wedding; a large rustic red barn, a historic quaint white farmhouse, chickens running around, and beautiful views off in the distance. Be sure to get in touch with the folks there at the Boulder Farmhouse to see what they can do for you!

D-Barn Reception Hall
136 S Main St, Longmont, CO 80501
(303) 651-1259

Up in my hometown of Longmont, there is a really cute old barn known as the Dickens Barn or “D-Barn.”  Despite all of the rapid growth in this part of Longmont, this sweet little barn property is still standing and offering a cute barn venue for parties at a great price!  I wouldn’t say that the grounds at D-Barn Reception Hall are particularly pretty so you may want to come up with a plan B for the majority of your formal photos, but the barn itself is seriously cute for a nice reception party!  Once upon a time this was a dairy barn and it’s retained a lot of character throughout its over 100 year history! If you click the link above you’ll find real weddings I’ve photographed there and more in depth information about this adorable red barn in Longmont.

Lionsgate Center Chandelier Barn
1055 US-287, Lafayette, CO 80026
(303) 665-6525

The Chandelier Barn at the Lionsgate Center has got to be one of the most unique barn wedding venues you’ll find in this entire list of Colorado Barn weddings.  Everywhere you turn at this beautiful white barn you find beautiful photo backdrops to use. I love all of the pretty stained glass windows and the colorfully painted doors.  This barn is famous for its numerous chandeliers hanging from the roof inside. It’s like Versailles meets a simple country inn making for what I consider the very definition of “Rustic Chic.”  It is a must see venue if you are looking to get married at a barn somewhere in the Denver metro area. And please get in touch with me if you end up booking it for your wedding. I would absolutely LOVE to be your Lionsgate wedding photographer!

Lone Hawk Farm
10790 N 49th St, Longmont, CO 80503

Lone Hawk Farm is a lovely farm with 120 acres in my very favorite part of the state, the farmland west of Longmont and North of Boulder.  From June through September they open their farm for special events like weddings at their barn which can host up to 125 guests. I really love the incredible, arched wood doors with intricate carving and stone wall at their red barn.  It’s a truly elevated barn experience. Your guests can roam around in the large grassy meadow with views of the mountains and they have lots of different options for hosting a wedding ceremony. They allow self catering as long as you hire a professional waitstaff or you can opt to go with a professional catering company.  Music must be done by 9 pm so this may not be a great option for the party animals out there, but for those who want a simple affair incorporating local farm food into the dinner, Lone Hawk Farm would make an excellent choice.

Lyons Farmette
4121 Ute Hwy, Lyons, CO 80540
(303) 746-6266

The Lyons Farmette wedding venue is another farm wedding venue that I’m including on this list despite not having a traditional barn structure on their property. I’m including it because it has everything else you’d want to see for your farm wedding like rustic wood farm buildings, old vintage trucks, chickens running around and I really like their greenhouse.  Plus, I’m a sucker for a farm venue that has lots of great gardens which the Lyons Farmette delivers in droves. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that they have a super cute Airstream trailer on their property. Seriously, there is so much to love about this pretty farm wedding venue in Colorado. I like that they have options for farm to table dinners in their large white tent, or if the weather is cooperating you can dine al fresco.  They can host up to 125 guests at the Lyons Farmette. Lyons is one of my favorite small towns in Colorado! My family and I spent a lot of time recreating here when I was young so I have fond memories of this quaint little mountain town. 

The Lyons Farmette Wedding costs range from $5,500 for mid-week weddings up to $7,000 for a Saturday wedding.  Be sure to get in touch with them to find out what their availability is and to set up a site visit. If you love it, get in touch with me because I’d love to be your Lyons Farmette wedding photographer!

Shupe Homestead
11931 N 61st St, Longmont, CO 80503
(303) 485-7488

This next beautiful wedding venue on the list is not a true barn venue, but I decided to include it on this list anyway because it still has that beautiful rustic farm feel with barn like structures on the property.  I grew up in Longmont, and just west of Longmont is the prettiest little farm town called Hygiene with a quaint little town area that has a “blink and you’ll miss it” vibe. This area is mostly made up of small farms and the Shupe Homestead is one of them.  Their grounds are full of pretty gardens and rustic little farm buildings. It’s perfect for couples who want to feel like they are in the middle of nowhere with beautiful mountain views. I may be biased because I grew up in Longmont, but I have always felt that the west side of Longmont and Hygiene is some of the most beautiful farmland in the entire state.  Shupe has a nice wide range of wedding package prices too from $3,900 for smaller more intimate events held on less desirable dates up to $8,500 for up to 100 guests on a Saturday. Definitely get in touch with them to find out what they can do for your wedding.

Three Leaf Farm
445 S 112th St, Lafayette, CO 80026

Three Leaf Farm is a beautiful farm nestled along the Coal Creek corridor in Lafayette.  They have a beautiful brown wood barn where they board horses. Three Leaf Farm would be a great location for those who want to host a smaller, more simple wedding celebration as they can only host up to 75 guests max.  If you have less than 25 guests you can use their one bathroom, but for larger parties, they’ll assist in renting a portalet for your group. They do not have a covered space, so you’ll be responsible for renting a tent for your wedding as well.  Three Leaf Farm allows rentals for up to 5 hours with a 10 pm cut off time. They do allow a morning decorating time which is helpful in not eating into your 5 hours. You’ll definitely want to inquire with them directly to find out if their farm would be a good fit for your barn wedding!

Ya Ya Farm & Orchard
6914 Ute Hwy, Longmont, CO 80503
(303) 549-7447

Ya Ya Farm & Orchard is another farm wedding venue located in my favorite part of Colorado.  It’s right off of Highway 66 in North Longmont (the road that takes you up to Lyons and on to RMNP!) and has beautiful views of the rolling foothills.  Plus, who wouldn’t love taking their wedding pictures in a pretty apple orchard? Their farm has a really cute old wood barn with wood of varying colors as well as a classic dark red painted wood barn and vintage farm equipment and trucks too.  It’s an incredibly quaint place to host your wedding. They have room for around 150 guests on the high side and I love the idea of dining al fresco with Longs Peak off in the distance. Be sure to check with the Ya Ya Farm directly to find out what their availability is and the costs for hosting a wedding celebration at their orchard farm in North Longmont.

Fort Collins Barn Wedding Venues

Heading to Northern Colorado in the Fort Collins area, there are also gorgeous farms that have the ability to host weddings on their properties.  You’ll find a great selection of lovely rustic barn wedding venues in this section of the article.  Check out this list of Fort Collins Barn weddings in the Northern Colorado area below! 

Big Red Barn at Highland Meadows Golf Course
6300 Highland Meadows Pkwy, Windsor, CO 80550
(970) 204-4653

The Big Red Barn at Highland Meadows Golf Course is such a pretty and traditional looking barn with its red painted exterior and soaring wood beamed ceilings on the inside.  It’s located in Windsor, Colorado just east of I-25 and Loveland. The Big Red Barn can host events from 11 am to 11 pm in order to comply with the neighborhood noise restrictions and your wedding will be the only wedding on your wedding day at Highland Meadows Golf Course. You’ll also get a day of coordinator included with your wedding package.  There is a minimum of 125 guests for Saturday weddings.

They have two ceremony sites at Highland Meadows Golf Course.  The Big Red Barn patio is $200 for a wedding ceremony and Martha’s Green is $300. These prices are for ceremonies that are booked in conjunction with a reception, but Highland Meadows Golf Course has some ceremony only options if you contact them directly and ask about those.

The Big Red Barn is the reception site and it’s both air conditioned and heated making it a great option for wedding receptions year round.  Monday-Thursday wedding events are $5,000 and Friday-Sunday events are $7,000 to book The Big Red Barn at Highland Meadows Golf Course. There is an in house caterer who you’ll work with to create a custom menu for your wedding.  Menu pricing at The Big Red Barn ranges from $25-$32 per person but you also have the option of paying the $500 fee to use an outside caterer for your wedding. Be sure to check in with the wedding staff at The Big Red Barn at Highland Meadows to see how they can help you with your wedding plans!

Platte River Fort
22999 US-34, Greeley, CO 80631
(970) 590-4414

The Platte River Fort has Bent’s Barn which is a 3,264 square foot barn lit up on the interior with edison bulb string lights.  It’s a huge space to hold a wedding reception and can fit up to 280 guests. I love that this barn has super tall ceilings making it feel incredibly open and inviting.  This unique barn wedding location is just a little bit east of Greeley, CO adjacent to the South Platte River. Bent’s Barn at Platte River Fort wedding costs are conveniently  listed right on their website. This gorgeous eastern Colorado plains barn has a range of wedding package prices which used to be listed on their site but they now request that you contact them directly for them.  One thing about this Colorado barn wedding venue that I quite like is that there are overnight accommodations like glamping in a yurt that your guests can enjoy if they choose to make reservations there for your wedding. If you are the sort who enjoys luxury camping, I think that would be a unique and romantic way to end the evening on your wedding day too!

Rist Canyon Inn
4625 Rist Canyon Rd, Laporte, CO 80535
(970) 692-6962

If you head a little more north, you’ll find Rist Canyon Inn.  It’s located in one of my very favorite areas of Colorado, the La Porte and Bellvue area nestled between the foothills and Fort Collins.  This is a place full of beautiful green farmland and although the Rist Canyon Inn is not a true barn wedding venue, I decided that the 120 year old rustic farmhouse vibe was enough to keep it on this list.

The Rist Canyon Inn’s largest space is the Bellvue Event Hall which is a gorgeous reception space with 1,850 square feet.  It can host up to 100 guests and you’ll be able to use the awesome patio adjacent to the hall as well as the lovely grassy lawn area.  The ceiling has a bunch of modern circular pendant lights hanging and the solid wood floor is a great touch too. 

The pasture where ceremonies take place is expansive and has nice views of the cute little foothills in this area.  I love that they have a bunch of hand made wooden benches for your guests to sit on too.

But, my very favorite thing about Rist Canyon Inn is the 1896 white farm house.  I live in an 1895 Victorian style farmhouse myself though mine is in the city and hasn’t been surrounded by farms in quite some time.  But, I just love these historic gems. They also have a quaint little cabin called the White Pine Cabin. Both the farmhouse and the cabin are used as getting ready spaces for weddings and can be rented for an overnight stay.  Rist Canyon Inn is a seriously idyllic place to get married! If you’re looking for a rustic wedding venue in the Fort Collins area it’s definitely worth setting up a site visit. And if you end up loving it? Please get in touch with me!  I would love to be your Rist Canyon Inn wedding photographer!

Rockin S Ranch
6943 Co Rd 56, Johnstown, CO 80534
(970) 227-8009

The Rockin S Ranch is located just east of Loveland heading toward Greeley.  It used to be a dairy farm and has a lake with views of the mountains. It’s a huge place with 8 acres of farm land.  The original dairy barn has been renovated and is now used for wedding receptions. They’ve done a really great job with the renovations keeping the 1950s charm intact while modernizing it and making it look beautiful. I love that it has an adjoining courtyard. The Rockin S Ranch courtyard accommodates up to 200 guests while the upper covered barn can hold 100 guests.  The lower field adjacent to the lake can hold up to 200 people and the lower covered barn can hold 200 guests. You’ll have exclusive use of the facilities for up to 10 hours and a day of coordinator is included with your wedding package. Be sure to contact the folks at Rockin S Ranch to find out what their weddings cost and set up a site visit.

3 Cord Meadows
3830 Milne Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80930
(719) 648-3645

Out on the plains of Colorado, about 30 minutes east of Colorado Springs is a beautiful ranch wedding venue with a cute red barn.  I love that there are views of Pikes Peak off in the distance from 3 Cord Meadows. The interior of this barn is cute with not just string lights hanging overhead but traditional wedding bunting decorating the ceiling too.  They have a lot included in their price point of about $3,500 too. You get this beautiful ranch space for 12 hours, use of the rustic bar, tables and chairs for up to 150 guests, use of the main barn and the hay barn, and so much more.   Be sure to get in touch with the folks over at 3 Cord Meadows to see how they can help you with your wedding planning today!

Flying Horse Ranch
9663 E Palmer Divide Ave, Larkspur, CO 80118
(303) 660-2598

Flying Horse Ranch has a large, beautiful light colored barn with a pretty blue roof.  The inside has tall ceilings and pretty light colored wood. I love that it has a nice large outdoor patio adjoining it with huge window style doors letting in lots of natural light.  The patio has pretty string lights hanging overhead and you can dance the night away under the stars out there!

They also have a huge matching mansion home on site available to use with the cutest wraparound front porch and an indoor open ballroom space with tall ceilings that would make a great backup indoor location if needed. They also have plenty of wide open outdoor space with never ending skies and the mountains off in the distance.

This Larkspur barn wedding venue is special because they have room for guests to stay at their Lodge at Flying Horse just 15 minutes south of the barn which has 28 King Rooms and 12 double Queens all with over 500 square feet of space in each room. Not many Colorado barn wedding venues have room to house your guests as well as host your wedding so this is a great feature for brides who want to have the convenience of a hotel wedding while enjoying the rustic charm of a barn wedding.

Flying Horse Ranch now offers all inclusive packages that range in cost from $5,000-$12,000 depending on the day of the week you’d like to get married. This includes 12 hours of time on your wedding day and tables and chairs for up to 200 guests and much more.  Be sure to check out the Flying Horse Ranch Pricing Page on their site to find more detailed information about what they have to offer. And if you schedule a site tour and like what you see, get in touch with me. I’d love to be your Flying Horse Ranch wedding photographer!

Hearth House Wedding Venue in Monument
192 Front St, Monument, CO 80132
(719) 465-1418

The Hearth House wedding venue is not an actual barn, but it has so many incredible modern farmhouse style features that I just had to include it in this list of Colorado Springs barn weddings.  It’s actually located north of Colorado Springs in the heart of downtown Monument.  It’s an old historic brick building that was completely remodeled into a luxurious farmhouse style wedding venue.  The shape of the building is actually very reminiscent of a barn with a 2nd story cupola and the interior is stunning.  It has a lovely mix of farmhouse chic paired with modern elegance.  I love so many features of this beautiful farmhouse wedding venue like the white sliding barnwood doors, the enormous stone double sided fireplace, and the exposed wood beams.  They’re able to host up to 250 guests at the Hearth House.

I love that they also have a quaint little white Hearth House cottage on site as well which you can use for your wedding preparations. This adorable little cottage is also done in the modern farmhouse style and is included in the rental fee.  I can’t get over how affordable this venue is considering how nicely done it is.  It will cost between $2,500-$5,000 to reserve it for your wedding depending on the day of the week you’d like to use.  This is also one of the rare wedding venues that does allow you to bring your own alcohol and cater your own party which can save you a lot of money. Be sure to check in with Hearth House directly to find out how they can help you plan your rustic farmhouse style wedding celebration in Colorado!

Red Rocks Barn
2700 Robinson St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904
719-452-4327

Another awesome Colorado Springs barn wedding venue is the Red Rocks Barn which is located about 10 minutes south of Garden of the Gods. This cute old barn wedding venue is quite literally a “hidden gem” as it’s tucked away in a very industrial part of Colorado Springs. It was previously known at the Rustic Lace Barn but it is under entirely new ownership and has a new name. There is a lot of love about the Red Rocks Barn.  Some of the highlights for me are its pretty, classic, dark red color, the reclaimed barnwood wedding aisle that you’ll walk down, and the wildflower gardens. The interior of the barn is cute with what looks like knotty pine walls which have a ton of character and nice wood floors. This is a great wedding barn option for those who want help with the planning at a great value.

Spruce Mountain Events
14771 S Spruce Mountain Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118
(719) 249-7010

Don’t forget to check out Spruce Mountain Events for one of Colorado’s premier rustic ranch wedding venues.  This stunning wedding venue is the perfect mix of rustic charm while maintaining a high level of elegance. They have two different venues over a mile apart from each other.  

The first is the Upper Ranch showcasing Albert’s Lodge and the Colorado Room, both charming mountain style chalets with lots of wood beams and gorgeous stone fireplaces.  The second is the Lower Ranch which features the Ponderosa Room which is the venue that I find to be a mix between a rustic old barn and an elegant mountain ballroom. I love its indoor and outdoor fireplace. All of the outdoor spaces at Spruce Mountain are gorgeous as well.  It’s a huge venue, well worth a site visit. They also have their own interactive planning guide on their Spruce Mountain Events app. Search for it on the google play store and have fun with your planning today!

Tex Ranch
13925 Jones Rd, Peyton, CO 80831
(719) 641-2625

On the eastern plains of Colorado Springs, sits an adorable barn wedding venue called Tex Ranch in Peyton, Colorado.  This barn is newer, built in 2000 as a working barn for this Colorado ranch wedding venue and has since been transformed into a wedding space that can host up to 150 guests inside and up to 200 if you use the outdoor space as well.  At Tex Ranch you may bring your own wine and beer but you must provide a hosted bar with a licensed bartender if you plan to serve liquor. Right now, Tex Ranch is a new venue and asks that you get in touch with them directly to find out more about their pricing and their policies for hosting your wedding at their beautiful barn.

The Venue at Crooked Willow Farms
10554 S Perry Park Rd, Larkspur, CO 80118
(303) 951-8888

The Venue at Crooked Willow Farms is one of my favorite barn wedding venues in Colorado.  It’s located in the mountains of Larkspur in between Castle Rock and Monument along the I-25 corridor.  I love this one so much because the grounds there are just so darn pretty! They have gardens galore and the pretty red barns add a layer of rustic beauty to the surroundings.  There are so many great options for spaces to use at Crooked Willow Farms. They have the Carriage House which is a stunning Carriage House Ballroom which is like a barn that a fairy godmother touched with her wand and turned it into a magical elegant ballroom.  It has 19 foot ceilings with 4 gorgeous chandeliers hanging overhead and tons of beautiful natural light pouring into it from the stunning arched windows. It can seat up to 250 people and 300 when standing so it’s great for those who want to host a larger wedding there.   Right outside it’s doors is a gorgeous, one of a kind courtyard with well tended gardens everywhere you turn and a stunning brick turret straight out of a fairytale.

Lola’s Loft is also a stunning barn area hosting some incredible barn ceremonies indoors at Crooked Willow Farms.  Honestly, I could go on and on about how lovely Crooked Willow Farms is, but I think you should just stop right now and book a venue tour to see it for yourself. And after you fall in love with it too, get in touch with me because I would love to create gorgeous wedding photos with you as your Crooked Willow Farms wedding photographer!

Woodmoor Barn
1691 Woodmoor Dr, Monument, CO 80132
(719) 488-2693

The Woodmoor Barn isn’t one of the more well known barns and I recently discovered that it exists as a potential option for those who want to host a smaller wedding in the Monument, Colorado area.  The barn has been at this location for 100 years but was rebuilt in the early 40’s after a fire destroyed the original.  It’s owned and managed by the Woodmoor Improvement Association but you do not have to be a resident to rent this cute barn for your wedding. There are views of Lake Woodmoor from the back deck and the max capacity here is 100 people. You can host a bar here, but you cannot sell it at your wedding. Be sure to get in touch with the folks at Woodmoor to find out more about this off the beaten path barn venue!

Their red barns are beautifully rustic spaces with tons of room for up to 150 guests. I love all of the vintage farm equipment they have in the area making for cute wedding pictures and they have adorable old wood cabin barns to use for the getting ready portion of your day.  You’ll get exclusive use of their ranch for 12 hours when you rent the Younger Ranch for your wedding. Prices range from $4,000-$6,500 depending on the time of year and day that you would like to host your wedding. One nice perk is that they allow your engagement photos to be taken on the ranch at no extra fee. So you can show off what your venue looks like for your guests in your save the dates if you want!  They have a lot of information on their site about what they include in their wedding pricing and photos of the property so be sure to head over to the site and get in touch with them if you like what you see!

They only book 6 weddings per year so be sure to get in touch with them sooner rather than later.

Brush Canyon Ranch
8760 Old San Isabel Rd, Rye, CO 81069
(719) 582-6645

Brush Canyon Ranch is a cool rustic wedding venue tucked away in the mountains just 40 minutes southwest of Pueblo.  This awesome ranch has been owned and homesteaded by the same family for 5 generations. It’s still in operation as a cattle ranch and has been hosting weddings in the Southern Colorado area since 1998.  Although it’s not a true barn property, the shelter pavilion used for hosting wedding receptions is very barn-like made out of old rustic wood. I like the wide open feel of the pavilion with it’s string lights hanging overhead and the wood trusses on the roof.  The Shelter House can seat up to 200 guests.

One feature that I think sets this venue apart from other barn wedding venues in Colorado is that they have room for unlimited camping. So for those who think it would be fun to have a campground wedding where their guests camp overnight, this might be a great option for that.  They also have space for 3 self contained RVs. This is also one of the few wedding venues that allow the entire weekend to be rented in their price from 12 noon on Friday through 12 noon on Sunday so you don’t have to tear your hair out getting everything set up or cleaned out. This is especially helpful for those with lots of DIY wedding plans.  Prices for 2021 are $6,500 for the weekend and they have just a couple of weekends left for 2020. If you are looking to get married on a weekday, they have weekday packages for $4,800.

The price for a Hatchet Ranch wedding is extremely reasonable and offers a lot of value for the money.  It’s $3,200 for a 3 day rental meaning you can take as much time as you need the day before with decorating and have plenty of time the following day for clean up which is exceedingly rare with wedding venues in Colorado.  Get in touch with the folks at Hatchet Ranch to find out how to rent their historic red barn for your wedding!

Just south of Carbondale is a beautiful Colorado mountain ranch wedding venue with a pretty red barn called Flying Dog Ranch.  It’s located at the base of Mount Sopris, one of the most beautiful mountain views in the entire state of Colorado! This wedding venue in the Roaring Fork Valley has a pretty little pond and gazebos that you can use.  Plus they have room for up to 150 guests. They do require amplified music to be done by 7 pm to be respectful of their neighbors so this is not the place to be for party animals. However, for those looking for a rustic and peaceful setting for their wedding celebration at a great price, Flying Dog Ranch would make an excellent choice.  Their packages start at under $5,000 which is an excellent value particularly for the Aspen area of Colorado. Be sure to check in with the folks at Flying Dog Ranch to see how they can help with your wedding plans for a barn wedding in the Aspen area!

Holden Marolt Mining & Ranching Museum
40180 CO-82, Aspen, CO 81611

The Holden Marolt Mining and Ranching Museum is a super cool barn style wedding venue right in Aspen. It was first used as a Silver Mine and then a working family ranch after that.  The interior of the barn houses a museum so it can’t be used for weddings, but the outdoor grounds can be used. This pastoral setting has incredible mountain views and the exterior of the barn provides a beautiful backdrop. The grounds can be rented between the hours of 9 am and 9 pm, 7 days a week from May-early October and cost just $3,000 to host up to 250 guests which is a bargain for Aspen!  Be sure to check with the Aspen Historical society to find more information about availability and other rental fees that may be part of a Holden Marolt Wedding package.

Spring Creeks Ranch wedding venue in Carbondale, Colorado has such a rich history and it’s been a working ranch since 1927.  It’s amazing that it is still owned within the family too! I really loved reading the story of their ranch on their website, it’s definitely worth checking out.  The scenery at Spring Creeks Ranch is incredible. They have views of Mt. Sopris off in the distance as you get married outdoors with miles of gorgeous open land off in the distance.  Their barn is very modern with cool circular pendant lights hanging from the ceiling and gigantic modern garage doors full of window panels letting in tons of light. And I love that they also have a large outdoor pavilion for dancing outside!  This is a BYOB venue so you can save money by bringing in your own alcohol.

But, I’ll start with the obvious, which is that this neat barn wedding venue is located on it’s own private lake right next to the Animas River.  It’s surrounded on all sides with beautiful views of red sandstone cliffs and mountains.

AA Barn
Co Rd 66, Grand Lake, CO 80447

One summer, I went camping at the Green Ridge Campground at Shadow Mountain Lake and at dawn I went for a walk by the river and discovered an incredible old historic barn which I learned was called the AA Barn.   The AA Barn is located right next to the Colorado River just south of Grand Lake. It has one of the least expensive wedding venue fees you’ll find in all of Colorado at just $100 for the day. But, it’s only available during daylight hours and is quite rustic.

When you are celebrating at the B Lazy 2 Ranch, it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere with so much space to take in the beauty of Colorado.  There is an adorable old barn on site which I’ve seen used as a cool little rustic speakeasy style bar inside. There are makeshift couches made out of hay bales covered in quilts and lots of fun kitschy decor that I love to find in old barns.  You can get married anywhere but most take advantage of the aspen trees and mountain views that you find in the wide open pasture and you’ll host the wedding dinner party in their huge white tent. This is a real working ranch and you’ll probably get to pet some horses when they come over to the fence to say hello.  As their name suggests, The B Lazy 2 Ranch is the epitome of relaxed wedding vibes. If you’re looking to get married in the Winter park area of Colorado it’s definitely worth a visit. Because of their elevation and mostly hosted outdoors, they rent out their ranch from mid-June through mid-September. Be sure to get in touch with them to find out available dates and prices.

(970) 887-2152

One more awesome rustic barn style option in Grand County, Colorado is Snow Mountain Ranch at YMCA of the Rockies in Granby.  Snow Mountain Ranch is an enormous place with tons of different options for wedding celebrations hosted there. But for this article all about rustic barn weddings, I’m specifically recommending the Rowley Homestead at Snow Mountain Ranch as a beautiful rustic wedding option in Colorado.  It’s a historic site full of old wood cabins and buildings located in a less developed area closer to the mountains at Snow Mountain Ranch. As with some of the other entries in this article, this location is not a true barn venue, but the old historic cabins here have that same cool rustic vibe that a barn provides.  You’ll want to use a white tent to provide cover for a wedding hosted at the Rowley Homestead. The YMCA of the Rockies is a great venue for those who want to have the space for guests to all stay on site as they have lots of different lodging options and activities for keeping everyone entertained. And, it’s generally one of the more affordable wedding options in the Colorado mountains too. Be sure to get in touch with Snow Mountain Ranch directly to find out what they can do for your wedding!

(303) 929-9133

You can see the Barn at Deer Creek Valley Ranch in Bailey Colorado as you drive along Highway 285 with it’s pretty pasture and rolling hills behind it.  The original barn was built in 1862 but burned down and was rebuilt in the late 90s. The new barn is a gorgeous white barn with teal colored trim and it’s fun to think about the fact that this site was once upon a time used as a stagecoach stop.  This is a family run wedding venue with a lot to offer. They have wedding packages offering just the barn or just the homestead site or both. When you rent both, you have access to accommodations for up to 20 guests for an overnight stay. The barn can fit up to 180 guests and the homestead venue can fit up to 140.  You’ll want to confirm prices for Deer Creek Valley Ranch (and availability) directly with them, but from what I can gather they have the cost to host your wedding there anywhere between $4,300-$10,500 depending on which part you want to reserve and the date you choose.

The Woodlands
8884 US Hwy 285, Morrison, CO 80465
(720) 443-1796

If you’re looking for a barn that’s a little more modern and not quite as rustic, you’ll definitely want to check out The Woodlands barn located just a short drive up highway 285 into the mountains.

During the regular wedding season, The Woodlands wedding venue can host up to 245 guests and that number goes down to 200 guests max during the off season. One neat touch I particularly like about this pretty white barn wedding venue in Colorado is that they have 3 different options for your ceremony arbor!

About 20 minutes south east of Montrose, in a beautiful mountainous area is a lovely wedding barn at Antler Ridge.  I absolutely love the look of the pretty light wood of the Antler Ridge Wedding barn!

The Barn at Howard Creek Farm is truly one of the prettiest Colorado farm wedding venues.  It has it all, lush grounds, gigantic trees (this is not always easy to find in water-starved Colorado!), incredible mountain views, and a pretty red barn.  The barn was originally built in 1861 and was moved to Howard, CO from Northern Indiana. It’s 3,200 square feet and can fit up to 200 people inside. I also love that it has an attached porch with even more room (1,280 square feet) that’s perfect for cocktail hour at your wedding.  One huge plus for this Salida area wedding barn venue is that the owner has owned her own event planning business for years so she really knows a lot about the process of putting on a great shindig!

This place is for those who want something a little more off the beaten path.  It’s incredibly rustic and it’s all about the scenery here. I love the mountain views and all of the huge trees off in the distance! I love that The Barn at Sombrilla Ranch has glamping and other overnight accommodations so you can host an intimate destination wedding if you like.  The photos online do not do this place justice, so if you can manage to make your way out there (it’s pretty remote, about 15 miles north of New Mexico) it’s worth the visit to this extraordinarily beautiful part of Colorado!

850 Co Rd 49, Gunnison, CO 81230
(970) 209-9796

5 minutes outside of Gunnison lies a super unique ranch wedding venue in Colorado known as the I Bar Ranch.  This is not a true barn wedding venue like most in this list, but it’s definitely a cross between a barn and pavilion and has that same rustic feel that barn weddings provide. The I Bar Ranch is known locally as a fun music venue but they also do private events there like weddings.  I Bar Ranch sits on 10 acres of beautiful wide open land with mountain views in every direction.

Log River Ranch
16510 US-84, Chama, NM 87520
(575) 209-0589

Ok, so Log River Ranch isn’t exactly in Colorado, but in Northern New Mexico.  Still, it’s located in the same beautiful mountain range that some of these pretty Southern Colorado barn wedding places are located in. Not everyone knows their geography, but the mountains of Colorado creep past state lines into the Northern part of New Mexico too! This peaceful wedding location is less than an hour south of Pagosa Springs and has a gorgeous 2,000 square foot barn with maybe the tallest ceilings I’ve ever seen in a barn wedding venue. As its name implies, Log River Ranch is nestled right next to the banks of the beautiful Rio Chama and is available to rent from mid-May through mid-October.  It’s such a beautiful wedding spot that I just had to include it on this list despite it not technically being located in Colorado.  Take a look through the photos on their site, you’ll see that it has mountain views and the feel of a Colorado wedding venue so it earns a spot on this list anyway!

Paradise Ranch
11044 US-84, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147
(505) 793-5683

Paradise Ranch is located about 15 minutes south of Pagosa Springs in a gorgeous mountainous area next to the Rio Blanco.  This is also not a true barn but if you look at photos of the venue, it’s definitely a cross between a barn and pavilion and made this list due to its lovely vibe of rustic elegance.  The pavilion is very pretty with really cool round edison bulb chandeliers and 1,400 square feet of space to work with. Paradise Ranch can accommodate up to 150 guests. There is really a lot of great value to be found in the wedding packages for Paradise Ranch too.  Not only are they affordable at just $3,500 for a mid week wedding and $6,000 for a weekend wedding, but they offer their brides the use of their decor from the “Something Borrowed” closet with over 800 pieces to choose from.  For those who want to stay on site, they have the Paradise Ranch House and Bunkhouse with room to house 22 guests.  This is truly a great find for a elegant and rustic wedding in Southern Colorado!

I love the weekend wedding prices for Steel Horse Ranch too. A Steel Horse Ranch wedding costs just $4,995 and includes a lot of value at that price.  One thing I really love about this pricing is that they include 6 guest room for 2 nights and also have 6 full hook up RV sites as well so you can turn it into a destination wedding in Colorado if you like. This price also includes a 15×30” white tent.  The property has tons of beautiful areas to create gorgeous wedding photos too!
