Engagement season is one of our favorite times of the year – the planning begins, the opportunities endless, and the excitement brewing. Selecting a venue is among one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a couple, setting a blueprint for the remainder of your wedding planning. With an endless variety of show stopping, stunning, picture perfect Colorado venues, we’re highlighting a few of our favorites. The can’t-go-wrong, is-this-too-good-to-be-true, trusty Calluna Events favorites. Sit back, relax, and enjoy part one of our three part series on Top Colorado Wedding Venues: The Front Range.
Remarkable hospitality is the name of the Four Seasons’ game. This community of “hospitalians” (verbiage kindly taken from our friend Bobby Stuckey) is unbeatable in service, attention and overall genuine quality of care. Pair that with effortless sleek design around every corner and you’ll spend most of your visit picking your jaw up off of the ground. We were fortunate to work with FS Denver for both Lesley + JD’s and Alexandra + Noam’s wedding. Food, ambiance, impeccable service, high class rooms….what more would you want?! If chic decor and luxury treatment is wrong, we don’t want to be right.
Why we love it: The all-in-one iconic Boulder venue with picturesque views.
It’s pretty hard for the St. Julien not to come to mind when discussing top wedding venues. This obvious choice fits the bill for so many of our couples. We’ve have been a preferred vendor for this venue since they opened and we can’t speak higher on this tried and true Boulder venue. Their incredibly accommodating and talented staff makes every wedding wish come true. If you’re opting for an intimate gazebo ceremony, dining al fresco in the lawn or hosting a full blown, gold-gilded ballroom reception, this place hits a home run every time. From aspects of the ceremony layout, cocktail hour and reception, we have transformed the space in a multitude of ways and love bringing the client’s new vision to life. Who could resist an outdoor ceremony space that showcases the breathtaking view of the Flatirons?! It’s truly our local gem.
Join us as we host the “Spring Dow the Aisle” bridal tea this February for a contemporary bridal showcase to ease all of your wedding planning woes!
For the Creative
There are so many different design directions to take with this blank space, just pursuing the grounds gets our creative juices flowing. The abundant outdoor space – a paved patio, garden & barn area – is paired with two gorgeous (and large!) interior rooms accommodating up to 210 guests. The exposed brick, beams and natural lighting sets an edgy and urban tone, simply begging to be beautified by the most creative, artsy, inspired couple and design team. We fell in love with this venue in early 2014 and dressed the space with Modern Marie Antoinette inspired details to celebrate 10 years of Calluna Events.
For the Nature Lover
The Farmette – We adore this DIY farm turned wedding venue in our lovely little town of Lyons! When the farm to table trend exploded (and we don’t see it going anywhere!) we knew there couldn’t be a more perfect venue. It’s so stripped down to the bare elements of Colorado nature and with some gentle tending it can become one of the most chic outdoor wedding spaces. With a vintage airstream, goats, chickens and flowers grown on-site, the space is intimate, enchanting and rustically charming.
River Bend – Equally adorable, this is the the newest venue in the Lyons Farmette family. Rivers Bend came to be after owners Betsy & Mike purchased the land affected by the devastating floods and turned the property into a gorgeous riverfront haven for weddings. We hosted dear Lana’s of Lana’s Shop wedding here and are looking forward to working here again in the upcoming season. Once again, farm to table weddings hold a special place in our hearts – and this space is completely idyllic for that local experience.
