Summer weddings aren’t for you. So it’s a good thing you live in Colorado. Here, you can have your pick of winter wedding venues. But what sets Ellis Ranch apart from other sites? We have a beautiful mountain setting without the mountain driving. So, if your big day gets snow, your guests will still be able to get there, especially those not used to mountain driving. Not only that, but our Event Center has inside and outside options. When you book, your space is yours for the whole day, so it’s easy to go inside if the weather gets too cold. You can have a plan A and a plan B with this site. The Carriage House isn’t much different. While it’s primarily outside, guests gather on the huge deck under a canopy of mature trees and lights for cocktails. Dinner is served in the pavilion area, and on our beautiful Colorado days, guests dine “al fresco” and if the temperature gets chilly, the side walls come down and you’re inside nice and toasty. You don’t want to get stuck with no plan B on your big day, that’s why we are your top-rated “best winter wedding venue Colorado”. We won’t leave you stranded in the Colorado snow.

“My husband and I just got married at Ellis Ranch in November of 2023 and it was a dream come true. From the start they were not only breathtaking in how beautiful inside and outside was but they were so helpful. They answered calls, texts, and emails if we had any questions. We went to a couple of open houses which were really nice for family to see it and make more choices. I can’t say enough good things about Ellis Ranch and the owners.” -Kalista
“We celebrated our daughter’s wedding here and could say enough great things! If you’re looking for a venue that is close to the mountains but still an easy drive, that allows you to do as much or as little as you want, won’t completely break the bank and has plenty of room for a big bash this is a place to add to your list!” -Jenny
