Whether you’re a Colorado native or looking to plan a destination wedding, there’s no shortage of breathtaking venues in which to say “I do” in the Centennial State. From high up in the Rocky Mountains to downtown Denver to historic Colorado Springs and everywhere in between, picturesque Colorado weddings are in abundance.

C LAZY U RANCH

Northwest of Denver is Colorado’s premier luxury guest ranch, C Lazy U Ranch, an all-inclusive experience with 8,500 acres of land and more than 200 horses. A unique and stunning destination for weddings all year long, C Lazy U provides a luxury Western ambience with sweeping mountain vistas for the wedding couple’s special day.

Locally and family-owned since 1919—when two families, the Smillies and the McQuearys, merged their ranches to form C Lazy U—the ranch has continued its legacy of outstanding horsemanship and remains true to its core with family-focused programming, rich in the history of the American West. (The ranch has changed hands several times, with Denver families the Singletons and the Bailey-Stanfords the current owners.)

There’s no shortage of breathtaking views and spaces for a bespoke wedding, with four indoor-outdoor ceremony sites, three indoor-outdoor reception sites and scenic photography locations. Gourmet dining and bar packages include a wine list curated by the on-site sommelier.

Newlyweds can look forward to celebrating their love in a secluded honeymoon cabin, and at the ranch’s Lazy You Spa they can enjoy an intimate signature treatment: the “Cowboy Soak,” a relaxing moonlit soak in therapeutic copper tubs, complete with champagne and strawberries.

Additionally, wedding parties can enjoy a variety of activities such as wellness amenities at the new Lazy You Hideaway (an adults-only relaxation lounge), horseback riding, Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing, swimming, tennis, pickleball, mountain biking, hiking, yoga, a zip line and ropes course, trap shooting, archery, hatchet throwing, and scenic ranger all-terrain vehicle tours.
