I am so unbelievably happy that we chose to have our wedding at the Royal Gorge Mansion. We got married in April so we were a little nervous if it would be pretty enough outside for the ceremony, but it was even prettier than I could have asked for. The blossom trees were blooming at peak that day, and all of the other greenery was beautiful. The master suite was the perfect size for the bridal party to get ready in without anything being crowded, it was also great for pictures with all the details in the room from the bed frame, to the big picture windows. Our photographer loved having multiple locations for pictures-the fountain, the wine cellar, in front of the mansion and down the spiral stair case.
Everything about the mansion made our wedding day perfect and easy for us. We loved every minute of it. I would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone looking for a small or large venue.

A romantic and historic venue
Our son and his wife had their wedding on the grounds at the mansion in July 2018.
I am also a professional photographer and have photographed weddings at the mansion.
If is a beautiful venue, with lovely manicured grounds, and a stunning fountain and gazebo. There are large trees, and several patios and porches. The inside of the mansion is both nostalgic and modern. The kitchen is amazing. The wine cellar is unique. The bedrooms are very spacious. We would definitely recommend the mansion!!
