There’s something truly magical about a Colorado Springs wedding. From rustic venues to luxurious resorts, this unique city offers everything you need for a breathtaking celebration. (With a backdrop that features Pike’s Peak and the front range mountains!) Looking to be swept away in natural wonders and famous panoramic views? A Colorado Springs wedding could be just what you’re looking for.

Holly and Rico tied the knot this spring at Kettle Lake, near the Air Force Academy on the north side of town. If you’re eligible through the military, the Academy has a stunning chapel on campus, along with some pretty amazing grounds for photos. But if that’s not your scene, there are plenty of other indoor spaces for a perfect Colorado Springs wedding. Check out a few of my favorites here, and plan an indoor ceremony guaranteed to be safe from the seasonal elements.

If the mountains are the focal point of your day, there are plenty of outdoor venues to choose from that highlight the city’s gorgeous natural landscapes. From Garden of the Gods to Pike’s Peak Ranch, you can let mother nature be your centerpiece. Hillside Gardens can offer a great rustic vibe, while Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City can provide a little more funk.

Did you know Colorado Springs enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine each year? That’s right. And low humidity, too! Even the April showers don’t hang over the whole afternoon. So when your guests aren’t busy watching you say “I do” under the sun, they can enjoy plenty of adventures. Think hiking, rock climbing, ziplining, or exploring the patios of charming local restaurants and breweries!

If you’re thinking a smaller micro-wedding or elopement, a Colorado Springs has got you covered. In fact, Colorado is one of the few states that allows couples to legally marry themselves without an officiant. That makes it ideal for elopements or non-traditional ceremonies!
