7 Unique Wedding Ceremony Locations for Your Colorado Wedding
One of my favorite ways weddings have evolved over the years is by couples branching out and choosing non-traditional wedding ceremony locations. You already know I’m all for making and breaking wedding traditions, so your wedding day is everything you want it to be (and nothing you don’t). The same goes for your venue! With the rise of micro weddings and elopement ceremonies, couples realized they could get married pretty much anywhere. But now, this realization is expanding to larger weddings, and as a Northern Colorado wedding planning company, we couldn’t be more thrilled. Whether you already know you want a non-traditional ceremony or are still trying to decide the best venue for your special day, check out our favorite unique wedding ceremony locations in Colorado!
7 Unique Wedding Ceremony Locations
If you're planning a wedding in Colorado, there are so many options for unique locations for your ceremony. Whether it's the scenic mountains, a rustic barn, or a romantic treehouse, we've got seven options that will make your special day unforgettable! Check them out below and find the best spot to say “I do.”
1. Get Married in the Mountains
As Colorado natives, getting married in the mountains may not seem “unique” to some, but it is definitely a non-traditional experience. This is especially true for couples coming from out of state to have a Colorado destination wedding. Colorado has all the options, whether you want to find a breathtaking lookout tucked away in Rocky Mountain National Park or go for a semi-traditional ceremony by choosing a venue with gorgeous mountain views. Learn more about what it takes to plan an amazing Colorado mountain wedding with a non-traditional mountain venue.
2. Get Married in Botanic Gardens
Probably one of the most beautiful unique wedding ceremony locations is a botanical garden. If you love the idea of ditching the chapel and saying “I do” surrounded by lush, colorful gardens, overwhelming fragrant blooms, and stunning views, then choosing a garden is a perfect option. The Denver Botanic Gardens is an excellent option for your Colorado wedding ceremony.
3. Get Married at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Want to get married surrounded by Colorado’s most stunning red rocks? (Want to feel a bit like a rockstar while doing it?) Then choose the Red Rocks Amphitheatre for your unique wedding ceremony in Colorado. If you’re not in Colorado but are looking for unique wedding ceremony locations in your area, consider researching some of the more famous event venues. While you know them to host your favorite bands and festivals, many have options for private events!
4. Get Married in a Treehouse
We may be partial to a treehouse being one of the most fun, unique wedding ceremony locations because we just planned a one-of-a-kind wedding for Rachel and Aaron, but we’ll let you decide once you take a look at the photos. Talk about dreamy bohemian wedding vibes!
5. Get Married at the Aquarium
Want to get married at an elegant, refined venue surrounded by… hundreds of unique underwater creatures? Then have your wedding at an aquarium! The Denver Aquarium offers a beautiful ballroom and reception space, as well as an outdoor observation deck with breathtaking city views. Plus, you receive special packages for the aquarium to enjoy all this unique wedding ceremony location has to offer.
6. Get Married at an Airbnb
Some of the most beautiful and unique wedding ceremony locations aren’t venues at all but people’s stunning homes and properties listed on vacation sites like Airbnb or Vrbo. In fact, many of our top choices for Colorado micro weddings and elopements are vacation rentals with breathtaking views and accommodations for your wedding party and/or family. You can find some of our favorite vacation home venues, as well as other options for unique ceremony locations in Northern Colorado and beyond, in our small wedding planning guide.
7. Get Married at the Train Station
Get married at Union Station, whether in Denver or a city close to you! These old, expansive train stations are ideal wedding venues and offer a unique experience, unlike your traditional wedding venue. With gorgeous built-in decor, you get romantic wedding vibes, breathtaking photo opts, and more!
