If you are looking for the quintessential Colorado Mountain wedding, look no further than Buena Vista.

Buena Vista, Colorado is a hidden gem.  Nestled at the base of the Collegiate Mountain range, the views are breathtaking.  World-class river rafting on the Arkansas River, a nearby Hot Springs Resort and day-trips to the nearby ghost town of St. Elmo create a perfect weekend for destination weddings! The charming town of Buena Vista offers amazing dining and great live music along the perfectly walkable Main Street.

A gorgeous private ranch just on the outskirts of town has started allowing couples to host intimate weddings on the beautiful property.  Start your wedding day getting ready at the stunning Surf Chateau Hotel on the banks of the Arkansas River.  The rooms are all unique and elegant, some with fireplaces, some with clawfoot tubs, some with lofted bedrooms.

Imagine your wedding on a completely private property.  Your ceremony will be tucked into a grove filled with aspen trees with space for up to 100 guests.  Cocktail hour held on beautifully landscaped patios decorated with vintage mining carts and wine barrels.  Your reception under a tent with sweeping views of the mountains.
