The Best Colorado Springs Wedding Venues

There is an astonishing amount of incredibly beautiful Colorado Springs wedding venues available to book for your Colorado wedding day.  Colorado Springs is the 2nd largest city in Colorado (and even though I live in Denver I have to admit it’s the prettier of the two metro areas) so you’ll definitely have plenty of choices for gorgeous venues in Colorado Springs. This article will outline all of the various Colorado Springs wedding locations at a variety of price points.  I’ve done a lot of research to find the best options for you to consider below. 

I’ve done my best to organize them based on one of their defining features like their location or the style of venue but many of these places fit more than one category so if you don’t see what you’re after in one category, be sure to check out the others. You’ll find everything from low-key, laid back and charming rustic event venues as well as simple and affordable wedding venue choices.  You’ll also find some details about the high-end, ballroom style Colorado Springs luxury wedding venues and everything in between!  There are options for both indoor venues and outdoor weddings in Colorado Springs.

I’ve also gone even further and highlighted some Colorado Springs wedding locations found in some of the surrounding suburbs (like Larkspur wedding venues) and neighboring communities close to Colorado Springs as well as a list of wedding venues in Manitou Springs. There are also plenty of options for Black Forest wedding venues too for those who love this nice section of the northern part of Colorado Springs.

In an attempt to keep this article somewhat manageable in size, I’ve kept the descriptions short and sweet with what I think are the best features and an idea of the size of wedding or event they can host at their space.

Colorado Springs Church & Chapel Wedding Venues

Colorado Springs has a couple of really awesome options for those who would like to get married in a beautiful church or chapel.  I’m sure there are many more, but the church wedding locations listed here have been chosen for their unique beauty.

American Mothers Chapel at Rock Ledge Ranch

American Mother’s Chapel is located at Rock Ledge Ranch, but it’s actually managed by the City of Colorado Springs for weddings.  This teensy, adorable chapel is the perfect Garden of the Gods intimate wedding location for those who want to be married in a church setting. There are views of Garden of the Gods park and the mountains right outside this picturesque, historic white chapel and it’s easy to take a drive through Garden of the Gods for more photos after your ceremony.  The American Mothers Chapel is tiny so you’ll have to keep your total to less than 15 (with seating for 12).  It’s quite affordable to reserve the American Mothers Chapel as well at only $200 per day.  This is one of the most affordable ways to have a wedding at Garden of the Gods.  It’s perfect for those looking to do a simple Colorado Springs elopement or want a small wedding venue for their big day.

Black Forest by Wedgewood Weddings is a wedding venue located in a forested area of north Colorado Springs.  They’re definitely one of my favorite places to get married in colorado springs because their venue is so spacious and unique.They have a very nice, large modern styled ballroom with a touch of elegance added by the large pretty chandeliers that hang from the ceiling.  They also have a really nice outdoor courtyard where you can host an outdoor wedding ceremony or a lovely cocktail hour next to the pool.  They are also one of the only Colorado Springs wedding venues that have an entire huge chapel room dedicated for indoor ceremonies if the weather outdoors won’t cooperate.  It is definitely a Colorado Springs wedding location worth visiting, especially for those who are interested in Black Forest wedding venues!

Clay Venues definitely one of the newer, most chic wedding sites in Colorado Springs!

The Country Club at Woodmoor
18945 Pebble Beach Way, Monument, CO 80132

The Country Club at Woodmoor is located in Monument, Colorado on the northside of Colorado Springs.  It’s one of the pretty wedding venues nestled in the woods east of I-25.  What makes this one of the more fun wedding sites in Colorado Springs is its cool mid 60’s mountain lodge style club house and the surrounding beautiful golf course.  If you enjoy golf, you’ll get access to the golf course the week of your wedding.

Perry Park Country Club
7047 Perry Park Blvd, Larkspur, CO 80118
(303) 681-3305

Heading a little more north toward Larkspur and west of I-25 you’ll find another nice country club option for hosting your wedding in North Colorado Springs. Perry Park Country Club is a little more isolated with a less dense housing development surrounding its golf course. It also has a nice lake (Waucondah Reservoir) with mountain views in the distance that you can see from the outdoor deck at the back of the club house. I think my favorite feature of Perry Park Country Club is the red rock formations found throughout the course landscape.  It’s not quite as epic as Arrowhead further to the north or Garden of the Gods to the south, but it’s stunning in its own right. I also like that Perry Park is being proactive with dealing with Covid-19 size restrictions for weddings and have some options for hosting a smaller ceremony only wedding if you don’t want to wait to get married. During regular times, they have space for up to 130 guests and you may even make special arrangements to book the manor house which can host up to 170.

Phantom Canyon Brewery
2 E Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
(719) 635-2800

You may be wondering why I’ve chosen to include a brewery under the “ballroom” section of this list, but Phantom Canyon Brewery is not located in your run of the mill brewery location.  They are located in a stunning 3 story historic brick building in downtown Colorado Springs and their 3rd floor is a gorgeous, modern ballroom style space with lovely dark stained wood beams throughout.  I am in love with their arched windows with lovely views of downtown Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak off in the distance.  They just don’t make buildings like this anymore with such attention to detail and quality materials.  If you’ve never thought about getting married at a brewery before, be sure to check out my Colorado Brewery Wedding Venue Guide where I talk about all of the cool brewery wedding options you can find both in Colorado Springs and beyond. Phantom Canyon Brewery is definitely one of the most beautiful wedding locations in Colorado Springs and has great beer to boot!

The Pinery at the Hill Wedding Venue in Colorado Springs
775 W Bijou St, Colorado Springs, CO 80905
(719) 634-7772

The Pinery at the Hill is truly a special wedding venue in Colorado Springs.  If I had to only use one word to describe it, it’d probably have to be “quality.”  It’s a gorgeous and classy location to host your wedding and I just love that it sits on a hill so that it has views of both downtown Colorado Springs and the mountains. You’ll find lots of rich detail throughout the interior of this venue. I particularly like the chandeliers in their reception space and the dark wood paneling with my favorite being the enormous windows letting in a ton of natural light)  The Pinery at the Hill is by far one of the best event venues in Colorado Springs. I love that they have kept their pricing simple to understand with a variety of all inclusive packages with numbers based on the number of guests you’d like to invite which is always the biggest factor in how much your wedding will ultimately cost. I was actually expecting the pricing to be even more than it is and I think it’s a good value for the quality of wedding you will have at this gorgeous Colorado Springs venue. Please, do yourself a favor and move this Colorado Springs wedding location to the top of your list for site visits!

Shining Mountain Golf Club

Stonehaven is a pretty place with a good sized indoor ballroom with a light rustic flair with its stone fireplace and wood beams.  It’s not a huge venue, but it’s a good medium sized wedding venue that can host up to 100 guests. This is a very affordable wedding venue in Colorado Springs too.

Outdoor Wedding Venues with Gardens

Are you a couple who moved to Colorado in order to enjoy the great outdoors?  Or perhaps you grew up here and never want to leave for the same reasons?  Colorado is rich with beautiful outdoor spaces to explore so it makes sense that some couples would like to host a beautiful outdoor Colorado Springs wedding.  I got married at an outdoor garden wedding venue myself because I wanted to spend the day outside.  Colorado’s weather is generally very nice and can accommodate outdoor garden weddings better than most other places. The locations I’ve listed below are known for their gardens and beautiful outdoor spaces.  You’ll definitely want to schedule a site tour for one of these outdoor wedding venues in Colorado Springs.

Secret Window weddings are also some of the most affordable I’ve seen in all of Colorado Springs so if you are a couple on a tight budget, this is a venue you really should consider!

Colorado Springs Hotel Wedding Venues

Colorado is a well known destination wedding location and part of planning a destination wedding is figuring out the logistics for where to house your wedding guests.  Many couples want to book a hotel wedding in order to make it easy for their guests to enjoy the party and then spend the night without all of the hassle of figuring out transportation for hundreds of guests.  Below I’ve outlined some of the best hotel wedding venues in Colorado Springs to make planning your wedding day a breeze.

The Cliff House at Pikes Peak is a beautiful old castle-like Victorian Inn located in the heart of Manitou Springs, Colorado.  It has a rich and storied history as a stagecoach stop when this area was full of gold miners looking to strike their own fortune and even as the gold rush started to dwindle, the Cliff House transitioned to providing room and board for those interested in the mineral waters of this area.  It was built in 1873 before Colorado was even a state and this historic inn has become a beautiful wedding location full of vintage charm.  It’s the perfect space for couples wanting a vintage wedding in Colorado Springs.

Miramont Castle Museum
9 Capitol Hill Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
(719) 685-1011

There is one thing kids who grow up in Colorado learn about our state and it’s that back in the day, people would move here because they thought that the mineral water and fresh mountain air was good for tuberculosis.  The Miramont Castle was once upon a time used as a treatment center for tuberculosis patients. There are more stories about this beautiful old castle but this article is about wedding venues so I’ll stick to providing information about hosting a wedding reception at Miramont Castle Museum.  I particularly love the views from the windows in the solarium which has 18 foot ceilings. You can also get married outdoors in their pretty gardens for only $500.  The gardens have room for up to 40 people at this outdoor wedding ceremony space in Colorado Springs. They also have the great hall which can host up to 65 people.  Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by how affordable this historic wedding venue is considering how majestic and nice it is!

Colorado Springs Historic and Mansion Wedding Venues

Colorado Springs was once upon a time the capital of Colorado.  It was only the capitol city for a brief time but there remain a lot of historic sites in Colorado’s 2nd largest city.  Some of these historic buildings have since been turned into museums and tourist sites which also host weddings and events in their grand spaces.  Many of the other sections in this Colorado Springs wedding venue guide have historic venues listed but the ones found in this section were placed here in the Colorado Springs historic wedding venue category because their historic architecture is their most defining feature in my opinion.

30 W Dale St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
(719) 634-5581

The Colorado Springs Fine Art Center is a beautiful museum style space located on the southwest side of Colorado College campus not too far from Downtown Colorado Springs. I have photographed a wedding here before, but it looks like they have mostly moved away from hosting private events here.  Still, this is what they have to say on their website about booking weddings: “Fine Arts Center spaces are not currently available for personal private events. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis with a corresponding mission supporting group purchase.”  So I would check with them directly to find out what their current rules are.
