About

Welcome to the "sweet gem" of Steamboat Springs. La Joya Dulce Weddings & Events provides you with a luxury Colorado ranch experience and is located in the scenic Elk River Valley just outside of Steamboat Springs, CO. Aspen groves, valley vistas for miles, and mountains you can touch will make your special day memorable. Each and every event is curated - allowing for complete individuality. While couples and their guests enthuse about the beautiful views, they love the personal touch we bring to events.

Note: La Joya Dulce is currently 90% booked for 2025 and we are currently holding our 2025 pricing for those who would like their choice of dates in 2026. While the interactive pricing guide is a great way to start, depending on the number of people (up to 400) and the package selected, our pricing ranges from $12,250 to $38,100.

Facilities and Capacity
La Joya Dulce Weddings & Events is the largest single venue in Steamboat Springs and can host weddings from elopements (less than 15) to 400 guests. We have multiple facilities and can host both indoor and outdoor events (think dine outside!) The barn features Edison lighting and has gorgeous wood paneling, providing an intimate setting for your event. Additionally, there is a 12,000 square foot event pavilion, draped and fully lit with market lights and accented with wrought iron chandeliers. The main ceremony space is 4000 sq ft of meadow overlooking the idyllic Elk River Valley. As the ranch sits up on a bench, it features valleys, a creek, pond, and hills. Separate prep areas are provided for couples - all with wonderful natural light and spacious enough for any wedding party.

A Dream Come True!

La Joya Dulce and their staff exceeded all of our expectations! From the very beginning, everything was communicated to us clearly and quickly. Kathie was always just an email away anytime we had a question, and we always felt like they genuinely cared about us and our vision. The facilities were absolutely beautiful and provided everything we wanted (and more) for our ranch wedding! The day of our wedding, the La Joya Dulce staff truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect in every way. I did not have to worry about a thing, knowing we were in the best hands and that they had our best interests at heart. The hospitality and professionalism exuded by their staff were exemplary. We cannot thank the La Joya Dulce team enough for helping us shine extra bright on our special day! We would absolutely recommend La Joya Dulce for your wedding or special event!

Wedding of our dreams!

We live here locally in Steamboat and it meant the world to us to be able to get married here. Everything about this venue is amazing! We had the best experience and our guests had THE BEST time. They truly put the bride and groom first while also providing an amazing experience for their guests. The wedding day was stress free, as the staff are professionals and made the day seem seamless. My wedding coordinator Kylie was absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable. She was calm, cool and collected the entire time. The venue is beautiful, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident about the big day. I would recommend La Joy Dulce to anyone and everyone! They were very supportive and accommodating to our ideas as well as very easy to communicate with from day one. 10/10!
