Welcome to our family-owned piece of Colorado heaven. Nestled at the base of Mount Princeton, just ten minutes from downtown Buena Vista, we invite you to host a wedding day that feels entirely like home.
Your guests will walk a winding path through a freestanding wooden doorway to find an outdoor ceremony meadow with custom wooden benches framing the majestic 14ers. For your reception, our gorgeous 5,000-square-foot climate-controlled barn features stunning high ceilings, modern amenities, and massive windows. Just outside, guests can mingle on a string-lit concrete patio complete with an area for lawn games, seating, cozy gas fire pits, and Bar Service Vendor, Mountain Sips. It’s the perfect location for watching Colorado's iconic pink-and-purple mountain sunsets or to share your first dance.
We believe planning your wedding should be stress-free, which is why we proudly offer the freedom to choose your own vendors. To keep budgets where you want them, bring in your favorite local food trucks or design a gourmet plated dinner. Just supply your own alcohol and our only required vendor, Mountain Sips, will take care of your drink services.
Welcoming up to 160 guests plus your fur babies, a completely flexible, exceptionally beautiful mountain wedding experience awaits you at The Barn at Sunset Ranch.
