Plan Your Nuptials at a Stunning Vail Hotel
Known for big, glamorous affairs, Vail’s hotels are also some of the best small wedding venues in Colorado. Plus, many lodgings offer wedding packages with room blocks for guests, reception spaces and farewell breakfast spots — making them convenient all-in-one locations.
For intimate ceremonies, consider a boutique hotel like the Tivoli Lodge, where romance meets mountain-lodge vibes. Eloping? Express your eternal love beneath a chandelier of twisting vines in the elegant Grand Lobby Alcove (up to 15 people). For a microwedding, the window-lined Wedel Conference Room accommodates up to 48 people, while sunny and homey Penthouse Hospitality Suite fits up to 60.
In the heart of Lionshead Village, The Arrabelle at Vail Square brims with Tyrolean charm and fairy-tale magic. Brides can make a dramatic entrance down the sweeping staircase into one of the stately ballrooms (125–250 people) or reserve Vail Square itself for up to 500 people —complete with a clear-top tent, festive glistening lights.
Host Your Wedding at Vail Interfaith Chapel
Vail Interfaith Chapel is our only in-town church and the ideal setting for couples seeking a more traditional wedding venue. While the chapel can seat up to 250 guests, its vaulted buttery-wood ceilings, rows of timeless wooden pews and a tall altar window maintain a cozy, intimate vibe. Outside, towering pines and aspens surround two stone patios where five to 100 loved ones can watch the bride and groom exchange vows silhouetted by the rushing Gore Creek and rugged mountains.
Get Married Atop Vail Mountain
Looking for a showstopper ceremony with Mother Nature providing the glam? Proclaim your love at the summit of Vail Mountain, where endless snowcapped peaks and brilliant blue skies set the stage for wow-worthy nuptials. Start with an aerial cruise to the top via gondolas: Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19) or Gondola One (#1). No matter the season, your guests will be dazzled with 360-degree views — like wildflower meadows in summer, shimmering golden foliage in autumn or a glittering winter wonderland. At the top, the spectacle continues with your choice of two incredible venues.
- Opt for modern, indoor luxury indoors at The 10th, where floor-to-ceiling windows capture vistas of the Gore Range and Vail Valley in a space fit for up to 180 people. If you like this spot for your vows, you’ll love it even more for your reception.
- Simpler, but no less impressive, Holy Cross Event Deck offers polished-rustic flair with brick benches for 180 guests and a wide, stone deck on the edge of the mountainside for a location that’s dramatic and unforgettable. Afterward, pose for pictures with the iconic peaks of Mount of the Holy Cross in the background.

For smaller gatherings, the Sawatch Mountain View Deck is a serene spot alongside a quaint pond.
