Location: Estes Park, Colorado

Fly into Denver International Airport (airport code: DEN)


Estes Park is Colorado’s original playground! Located 75 miles north west of Denver, it is surrounded by the Rocky Mountain National Park and and Roosevelt National Forest. The small town has many hotels, cabins, B&Bs, and Airbnb options, with the majority of options within a 10 minute drive of the wedding venue.


Spring in the mountains is typically pretty chilly (especially for our southern guests!) It averages from 28 - 65 degrees, with sunny days and snowy nights. The ceremony and reception will be indoors, but expect to bundle up on your way in and out.


Below are a few suggestions for accommodations:

Black Canyon Inn

800 MacGregor Ave
(970) 586-8113

Black Canyon Inn is the actual wedding venue, with condos and suites located throughout the property. A wedding “block” is not available, as each condo or suite is individually owned, but reservations are managed by the property and can be made online.


From the website:

Black Canyon Inn is a distinctive Estes Park vacation rental property in the magnificent Rocky Mountains. These privately owned condos and log cabin are located off of the beaten path, yet still in the city limits of Estes Park. You will find seclusion in the Colorado mountains, yet ease and accessibility in your proximity to local shops, restaurants, and area attractions.
