Few places offer more inspiration than the mountain backdrops of Colorado ranches. Removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life, these rapturous settings are a desirable choice for couples who are searching for stunning landscapes and luxurious adventure. 

Unlike many venues that leave both couple and planner scrambling for any way to add a personal touch to their event, Colorado ranch venues allow each unique vision to come alive from the ground up. Offering a lost in time experience and spectacular views as the only canvas, this fresh and vibrant option may be the idyllic choice for the adventure seeking couple. 

The following are some of the top ranch venues in Colorado. 

T Lazy 7 Ranch Aspen, CO 

Situated on the outskirts of Aspen, T Lazy 7 Ranch capitalizes on the beauty of her gorgeous wide open meadows, bowing below the majesty of Pyramid Peak. The atmosphere lends itself to the total feeling of private intimacy. Yet the ten minute drive into town enables total accessibility for both guests and vendors. Complete with horses grazing on the perimeter of the property, this venue is a perfect option for a secluded tented soiree without the inconvenience of a long journey. 

Dunbar Ranch

One of the most desirable locales among Colorado ranches, Dunbar Ranch is described as “serene seclusion” yet similar to T Lazy 7 Ranch, it is only minutes away from the town of Aspen. Owned by Hollywood star Kevin Costner, this venue hosts a limited number of events per year. To fully take advantage of this ultimate mountain retreat, a wedding here would most certainly entail a multi-day event, with guests lodging in one or all of the three custom homes available for rent on the one hundred and sixty acre property. 

McCabe Ranch Snowmass, CO & Eaton Ranch Vail, CO

Wide open spaces, rustic elegance, and incredible mountain views come together to make Eaton Ranch and McCabe Ranch two venues with endless possibilities. Without any physical structures of their own, both ranches offer an incredible opportunity to create something entirely from the ground up. 

McCabe Ranch is home to a working horse ranch, giving couples the option to enter their reception on horseback or treat their guests to wagon rides around the property. 

Devil’s Thumb Ranch, Tabernash, CO

Devil’s Thumb Ranch is truly the ultimate Colorado experience. Without lacking any of the secluded charm of the previous venues, Devil’s Thumb is an all-inclusive experience complete with luxurious lodgings, unique mountain pleasures, and activities, boasting turnkey local cuisines, all designed to leave each guest bedazzled and revitalized. For a truly enviable wedding experience, multiple venues and spaces are available throughout the property to accommodate each aspect of a wedding weekend. 

C Lazy U Ranch Granby, CO

A functioning luxury dude ranch, C Lazy U has a true Western feel, complete with staff arrayed in full authentic cowboy attire. With over a hundred horses on property, guests are raptured by the famous stampede of horses that run in and out of pasture each day. The ranch has sleeping accommodations for up to 90 people and is available for full buyouts. A lovely balance between structural venues and natural spaces for tented events, C Lazy U Ranch offers equal parts flexibility and charm for a full Colorado ranch experience.
