About this venue

Powderhorn Mountain Resort is a mountain wedding venue located in Mesa, Colorado, near the city of Grand Junction. Nestled on 1,600 acres along the northern edge of Western Colorado’s Grand Mesa, this resort provides spectacular views of the breathtaking region. The Grand Mesa is the world’s largest flattop mountain and is beautiful throughout every season, whether it’s covered in winter snow or summer wildflowers. Outdoor enthusiasts will be drawn to the rugged terrain and family-friendly ski trails, which make for picturesque backdrops to the festivities. The staff welcomes couples to tie the knot on the Grand Mesa and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Facilities and Capacity
The wedding venue at Powderhorn Mountain Resort is a rustic and spacious area for hosting ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. Vows can be exchanged on the deck underneath the distinctive log pergola, which can be decorated with your choice of décor. Folding chairs will be set up by the staff on this porch in order for 225 guests to witness the momentous occasion. The deck overlooks the ski slope and is draped with bistro lights, both of which add a romantic atmosphere to the nuptials. Afterward, the banquet hall provides an excellent spot to dine and dance late into the night with loved ones. This room is furnished with tall windows that let in plenty of natural light, chandeliers, televisions, round tables, and a large built-in bar. Alternatively, soon-to-be-newlyweds can take the chairlift up the slopes for a mountain-top ceremony that offers 360-degree views of the stunning landscape.

AMAZING!! This is the place.

Powderhorn is the perfect place for your dream wedding! Summer, the Wedding Coordinator, was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we booked the venue to the day after our wedding, Summer was there. She answered all of our questions, helped us set up on the big day, assisted us in finding the right mix of food and drinks for our guests, and most of all is just the happiest and genuine person I have met. She made our entire family feel welcome and honored the importance of how big this day was for everyone! We had our ceremony out on the deck looking out to a lush green field with ski lifts floating above it all. Our reception was inside where the Powderhorn staff prepared the most perfect dinner. When people have asked me what I would change about our day, I say not a thing. From the meal to the set up and all of the little details in between, the Powderhorn crew had it covered! I never once worried if things were getting done and was able to fully enjoy our wedding day. We got married in early June and the weather was delightful! Powderhorn holds such a special place in my husband and mine's life. We both worked there and have spent many weekends there skiing. Now we get to go back every time and remember all of the fond moments of our big day. This is all thanks to the incredible staff and especially Wedding Coordinator. P.S. our crew booked the Tiny Homes right next to Powderhorn the night of the wedding and they were amazing! Summer at Powderhorn helps book these too. Seriously could not recommend Powderhorn more, love, love, love!!

It’s an excellent place to get married.

I’m so grateful to have thrown our wedding with Summer at Powderhorn. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious! The staff truly cares about you and your experience, and Summer goes above and beyond, down to every little detail. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Spectacular Venue and Experience

Wedding Coordinator, Summer Scotland, was wonderful. She guided us through the whole process, was responsive to emails, calls, visits. No matter our questions or requests, Summer was accommodating and helpful, creating a stress free atmosphere. The venue itself is beautiful with 360° views inside and outside the resort. The food and service was spectacular, with many options to choose from - including rehearsal dinner options, wedding party brunch, reception and bar options. Was a beautiful experience!

Get married here!

Great venue! Venue coordinator will help you make your dreams a reality. Location is beautiful, and if you ski, you get passes for the year you marry there! My price included venue for the night before to have rehearsal dinner and food for the rehearsal and wedding. Food and booze is through them as well. Venue itself was just 5,000. Food was delicious and it was honestly the best weekend of Ben and I's lives!!!

The most amazing views and wedding experience:)

I would recommend this wedding venue to anyone! I personally think it’s the best in the area. The location is amazing and how much extra help with everything they provide. Summer is amazing and answered every question I had and was always available to help with anything I needed. It was the best day of our lives. I honestly wish I could just relive it over and over again. Thank you for everything!

Absolutely Stunning, The Perfect Day

I cannot say enough about this venue and the staff. From our initial contact with Summer and Joe they were both incredible friendly, responsive, and willing to accommodate all of our requests for our day. They helped us realize the perfect wedding. The venue is in an unbelievably beautiful spot for guests to enjoy and that makes for incredible photos and you are able to ride the chair life to get some extra special shots. Summer is so helpful in terms of both planning and executing exactly what is requested and helping assure everything is going smoothly. Joe helped us estimate alcohol needs and when we asked for donuts not only happily obliged but went above and beyond by creating a beautiful array of colored frostings on wonderful donuts. The taco bar was fantastic as well. I highly recommend this venue as a location for any wedding!

Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous. Summer and her staff made our big day go off very smoothly!! For the 6 months before the wedding summer answered her phone to answer all my questions every time I called. Joe and summer sat down with me to come up with the perfect menu for our day!!! The food was amazing 👏 melt in your mouth pork and brisket!!! I would not recommend the green beans they were terrible !!!!

More Than I Ever Could've Imagined

Growing up skiing at Powderhorn, the mountain already had a very special place in my heart. When it became time for my fiance and I to start looking at wedding venues, I knew Powderhorn was our dream place. From when we first reached out to the wedding team at Powderhorn to the day of the wedding, they were absolutely incredible. They answered every question I had quickly, they invited us for a tasting the the resort, and they were able to make every request happen that we wanted. If you're someone who loves the mountains, loves feeling simple but elegant at the same time, and who wants a beautiful wedding with great food, I would 100% recommend Powderhorn.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
