Destination Continued


www.aspenchamber.org
Because our last entry couldn't fully capture the countless wedding get-aways our country and coastline have to offer, this post is dedicated to one of our favorite mainland destinations and its unlimited attributes.

An absolute oasis, Colorado is a collage of picturesque landscapes that offer a variety of altitudes and activities year round; from skiing in the winter to hiking and cycling in the summer. For a couple looking to tie the knot amid spectacular views and sky-scraping mountaintops, this might just be the ideal destination for you.

Once a sleepy little ski town, Snowmass Village has become Aspen's cute little sister overnight. Its tremendous growth and popularity can be attributed to an ogling range of natural assets as well as an influx of attention from investors hoping to develop the winter wonderland into a year-round attraction. Between the birth of new restaurants and resorts to the revamping of century-old lodges and cabins native to the area, Snowmass offers engaged couples an other-worldly experience just hours away from Dallas Fort Worth.

 Offering over 27,000 square feet of event space, The Westin Snowmass is a state-of-the-art resort complete with regal restaurants and a slew of awe-worthy amenities. As the area's largest hotel it can accommodate any type of ceremony or reception that you can possibly dream up.

The Maroon Bells, located within the the Maroon Valley and the White River National Forest, are said to be the most photographed peaks in the world. As part of the stunning Rocky Mountains, the Maroon Bells have a distinct red tone and bell shape that contribute to their namesake. To further this majestic scene, the bells are mirrored by the Maroon Lake and dressed in native plants and wildlife.

Located near the base of the Maroon Bells, the Lazy T Ranch--also known as T Lazy 7--is a 75-year-old property with unmatched beauty and a convenient lodge for onsite receptions. The Meadow is a popular location on the ranch to get married because of the rolling pastures, grand mountains, and lush trees that surround it like a natural cathedral.

Sleek and modern, the Elk Camp Restaurant is perched at the top of the Elk Camp Gondola in Snowmass, which affords visitors an breathtaking view through floor-to-ceiling windows in the $15 million dollar facility. The LEED certified building provides chic seating for up to 300 guests for both summer and evening events.
Snowmass Village
Mid Snowmass Mountain
Sitting pretty at 9,200 feet above sea level on an incline near the Burlingame lift is a quaint, rustic cabin perfect for couples seeking out a mountain experience. While the inside can comfortably welcome up to 60 guests, the adjacent meadow is available during summer months and can accommodate up to 200 outdoorsy attendees.

While we adore Colorado, we also suggest looking into what the Finger Lakes, Napa and Sonoma, Cape Cod and Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard have to offer. Each of these locations offer respite from the Texas heat and gorgeous settings for a wedding rendezvous.
