About

On WeddingWire since 2020

Headwaters Center is a rustic barn wedding venue located in Winter Park, Colorado. This charming property benefits from natural surroundings and is enveloped in spacious grounds. Its main event space is the multifaceted barn, which captivates the imagination and welcomes occasions of all scales. A fitting place in which to say “I do”, couples can enjoy once-in-a-lifetime festivities and raise a toast to their future in this stunning location.

Facilities and Capacity

Situated near the banks of the Fraser River, Headwaters Center comes complete with ample outdoor space, its proximity to nature lending it a relaxed and serene ambience. For the all-important ceremony, the age-old barn is an appropriate place. Having been lovingly restored, it certainly looks the part and provides a distinctive backdrop for ceremony photos. Couples can exchange vows inside this warm and welcoming barn as loved-ones watch on from the aisles. Polished floors reflect light from the large round chandelier hanging overhead and there is abundant space for dozens of guests to share the magical moment. It is a cozy, yet refined place for such an important milestone, but it can be opened up to accommodate extra natural light. The upstairs loft is a fitting choice for a cocktail hour prior to the big meal. Featuring carpeted flooring, mood lighting, and space to mingle, its elevated position gives it an elegant quality. As day meanders towards nighttime, the banquet meal can be hosted inside the bucolic barn. What’s more, there is 5,600 square feet of grounds to explore outside. In addition, an open-air terrace that is ideal for late-night drinks and conversation.

Services Offered

Onsite get-ready rooms provide space for people to prepare and finalize their outfits ahead of the main occasion. Outside vendors are welcome to come on-site so that the couple of honor can hire the talent that will do justice to their vision. The presence of a modern kitchen will surely be useful for any caterers hired by the clients, making it easier to prepare gastronomic delicacies for all to savor.

Amazing staff and a beautiful venue

Brittany and Lisa at Headwaters Center were a joy to work with. We asked a lot of questions and they were very patient and helpful with all of them. From the initial tour to the day-of, they were thoughtful with all details and logistics. We appreciated the transparent pricing and that the venue came with bar services, tables, chairs, linens, etc. We were able to focus much of our attention on other vendors like catering, DJ, and photography. Most of our vendors came from their preferred list, which was very helpful! The venue itself is gorgeous and spacious and located in beautiful Winter Park. Our guests loved how close it was to accommodations, restaurants, bars, and recreational activities. All in all, we highly recommend working with Headwaters Center for your wedding or any other event. The space is beautiful and Brittany and Lisa will help you make your vision come true!

Heart of Winter Park!

We used Headwaters for our wedding reception of 120 and had the best experience.  Lisa and Brittany took the best care of us from day one and made us feel truly seen throughout the whole process! We had some unconventional ideas for our cocktail hour, and they did not bat an eye helping us make our dream a reality. We loved that there are so many walkable vacation stays, which truly allowed our guests to feel like they were on a trip.  Our guests enjoyed taking advantage of the September hiking and mountain biking scene, and since almost everyone flew in from out of state, the reasonable distance from Denver airport was a huge pro.
The barn is an absolute dream -- pictures truly don't do this space justice.  We found that we saved a lot of money on decor because the bones of the space are beautiful as is! The large area allows a lot of flexibility in layout to best suit your needs and creativity.  The outdoor balcony was a great space to soak in the mountain view earlier in the night, and a great escape for guests wanting some air away from the dance floor later in the evening.  Headwaters supplied propane heaters which were a lifesaver after the sun went down! 
This was totally out of their control, but we were a little disappointed with the construction next to the lawn.  There was no active construction during our event, however the green unfinished building was quite an eye sore.  There is a decent amount of construction in the area.
Overall we had an amazing experience.  We loved the flexibility the venue gave us to be creative, the proximity to Winter Park activities and stays,  the character of the space, the mountain view from the reception space, and the value of your dollar!

The most amazing and accessible mountain wedding experience

I cannot recommend Headwaters enough. Lisa, Brittany, and team were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. The inside of this building is so stunning and a perfect backdrop to make it whatever you want. Their bartending staff did a great job making our signature drinks and keeping things moving quickly and smoothly all night. Highly recommend - plus your venue fee helps contribute to water conservation. Can't beat that!
