3. The Woodlands


In the beautiful quaint town of Morrison, about 45 minutes from Downtown Denver, lies this amazing modern white barn with black accents. Many Colorado mountain towns have old and rustic spaces; Woodlands being the first of its kind in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. In the back of the space, the ceremony space is nestled among beautiful pine trees and views of the foothills, as well a cute bridal suite. The cute little town of Morrison is not a far drive from the venue, as well as conveniently located near Red Rocks and other Colorado outdoor adventures.

2. Crooked Willow


Larkspur Colorado is a true small town feel with lots of farmland as far as the eye can see. It sits about 45 minutes south of Denver and 45 minutes north of Colorado Springs. This beautiful red barn called Crooked Willow is spacious, gorgeous and has animal friends to enjoy on your wedding day! You can see where it gets its name from as you enter with a beautiful willow tree near a little pond. The barn feels Colorado yet modern. This venue has a truly great staff and rhythm when it comes to your wedding day!

1. The Manor House

Nestled in Morrison Colorado lies a historic mansion called the Manor House. In 1914, John Charles Shaffer purchased the land once he fell in love with Denver after visiting his son and built this house on the land with the help of architect Edbrooke, who was famous for designing the Brown Palace and Oxford Hotel. Offering all-inclusive features including catering and bar in-house, this beautiful wedding venue in the foothills is neighbors with the infamous Red Rocks. Beautiful photos can be taken with the city scape of Denver, the foothills of the Colorado Rockies and the canyon rocks of Red Rocks. The staff is incredible, the pricing is reasonable and I have nothing but endlessly great things to say about this beautiful venue.
