Wedding vendors

Wedding vendors in Colorado Springs, CO

Colorado Springs weddings are built around Pikes Peak. Couples marry against the red rock of Garden of the Gods, in the canyon parks and historic streets of Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, at the resorts and estates under Cheyenne Mountain on the southwest side, and among the ponderosa pines of Black Forest and Monument to the north. The military bases and the Air Force Academy bring a steady stream of weddings year-round, and Downtown's restored buildings serve couples who want to stay walkable. Venue fees sit in the middle of the Front Range, catering is reasonable, and photographers are well-represented in our local data. Here's what a Colorado Springs wedding actually costs, where couples are getting married, and when to book, plus a shortcut to vetted, available Colorado Springs vendors matched to your date and budget.

Where couples get married in Colorado Springs

Garden of the Gods & Manitou Springs

Red-rock overlooks, canyon parks and historic mountain-town venues on the west side, the region's signature setting and its busiest on summer Saturdays.

Cheyenne Mountain & the southwest side

Resorts, estates and canyon lodges on the slopes south of downtown, with the city's highest venue fees and its best views.

Black Forest, Monument & the north

Pine-shaded ranches, barns and lodges toward the Palmer Divide, cooler in summer and a short drive from the Academy.

Downtown & Old Colorado City

Restored historic buildings, galleries and hotel ballrooms for an urban celebration with Pikes Peak at the end of every street.

When to book in Colorado Springs

June through September is the Colorado Springs peak, with September the most requested month, and the popular red-rock and mountain venues book 12 months or more ahead for a Saturday. Afternoon thunderstorms and hail are routine in July and August, so plan the ceremony for morning or have cover ready. Snow can fall from October into May at this elevation, which makes spring and fall a gamble outdoors and a bargain indoors. Academy graduation week in late May fills hotels across the city. Winter dates are easy to secure and usually cheaper.

Common questions

How much does a wedding cost in Colorado Springs?

Colorado Springs prices moderately. Venue fees run a little above Denver's, partly because so many couples want the red-rock and mountain settings, while catering, hair and makeup and planning stay reasonable. The venue and catering drive most of the total, and guest count is the biggest lever. The ranges above are a starting point from real vendor pricing in our Colorado Springs data, and Our Day negotiates exclusive rates on your behalf.

When should I book Colorado Springs wedding vendors?

For a summer or September Saturday at a red-rock or mountain venue, book the venue and photographer 12 months or more ahead; the rest of the team follows in the 6 to 9 month window. Military couples working around deployment dates should start even earlier. November through April is easier to book, especially for indoor venues downtown.

Yes. Our Day matches couples nationwide, with about 350 vendors in our Colorado Springs data, and photographers are the deepest category by a wide margin, followed by venues and hair and makeup. Tell us your date and budget and we'll bring back matched, available local vendors.
