What's more romantic than tying the knot in a beautiful alpine setting? With the gorgeous peaks as a backdrop and the beautiful green aspens and blooming wildflowers, Beaver Creek is a beautiful setting for your big day. There are many fantastic local vendors in the valley, or Denver is close enough that your choices don't feel limited. You'll have beautiful views wherever you choose, but here are the 3 locations we feel will make your big day truly special.
Best on Beaver Creek Mountain: Beano's Cabin
Even at a world--class resort like Beaver Creek, Beano's Cabin stands out as someplace truly special. This rustic-chic fine dining lodge is only accessible by snowcat in the winter. In the summer, drive up or make a grand entrance on horseback. After a gorgeous ceremony overlooking the gore range, you'll be ready for one of the greatest meals of your life, surrounded by a gorgeous western atmosphere. This location is perfect for making your destination wedding feel authentically rustic without compromising on luxury.
Best Religious Venue: Beaver Creek Chapel
If you're looking for a more traditional religious setting for your ceremony, or you just prefer to be indoors so you don't have to worry about weather, the Beaver Creek Chapel is a beautiful choice. With sweeping, high ceilings with artfully designed exposed beams, chic antler chandeliers, large picture windows showing off the gorgeous location, and a beautiful stone exterior, this lovely chapel will lend an atmosphere of wonder and grandeur to your ceremony. After, it's just a short walk to the main village where any number of wonderful hotels and restaurants can play host to your perfect reception, or take a short ride over to the truly luxurious Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch if you truly feel like splurging.
Best in Vail: Larkspur Restaurant
At The Larkspur, you'll find beautiful views, a staff that runs like a well-oiled machine, and a beautiful, chic, and modern dining room that's the perfect spot if you'd rather your wedding not have a "rustic" or "mountain-casual" theme (it's surprisingly hard to find in the valley!). During the winter, this space is a high-end restaurant, but during the summer they solely focus on events. For you, this means the food is amazing, and the staff knows exactly how to make your event perfect. The large stone patio with firepits is a great addition during your cocktail hour, so your guests can enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.
If you're planning a destination wedding, be sure to check out our friends over at Beaver Creek Rentals, they can find you that photo-ready home or condo to get ready in with all your ladies, a place for all of your cousins to stay together, or a luxurious little condo to spend your wedding night! They also have some great budget options if your young and broke friends need to find a place to share that still feels comfortable and convenient.
