From romantic elopements to detailed receptions, our on-site team will be ready to turn your dream into a reality.

Facilities and Capacity

With over 800 private acres, The Cheley Lodge and Grove boasts an expansive location while still creating an intimate, secluded aesthetic. We have two venue options, beginning with The Grove, an open outdoor field area that can accommodate up to 200 people for both an outdoor ceremony and a tented reception with a dance floor. Rustic wood fences surround the space to celebrate the property's down-to-earth, country-style ambience. Alternatively, the other venue option sees the ceremony take place in the Frank H. Cheley Chapel, with theatre-style bench seating underneath a rustic, natural-wood pavilion. The reception will be in Chipeta Hall, a historic mountain lodge that features wood ceiling trusses, traditional chandeliers, and large windows. Enjoy the glorious alpine views from their altar, along with plenty of natural lighting for a photo-ready ambiance. A dance floor area, full-service bar, and A/V equipment are also present inside to give you and your guests all that you need. Dressing suites are present on the property, so your entourage can prepare for the wedding in style. Parking is available on-site.

September 2024 Wedding

From our first visit to Cheley, we knew the property was special. The property was unlike any wedding venue we had seen or been to, making it uniquely ours. Every single detail was customizable and the team at Cheley exceeded our expectations. We were in constant communication with our vendors the whole time and the entire wedding day truly was perfect. Even the getting ready locations were stunning! Our guests had a blast and still talk about our wedding to this day.

We feel so fortunate to have been married in such a special place

We spent almost six months considering wedding venues to try to pick the perfect location for our wedding. We had high expectations and a long list of things that were important to us. Cheley checked all those boxes. We are so glad that we chose to get married at Cheley Lodge and Grove. We had our ceremony in the Grove and reception in the tent. It was such a beautiful location. The ceremony spot has amazing sweeping views of the mountains and the tent was stunning. So many guests commented on how special and stunning the location was. The proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park meant all of our guests had a fun weekend beyond our wedding. Kim was wonderful to work with too.

Incredible location with incredible management

The Cheley team did an incredible job supporting my wife and I on our special day. They were accommodating and executed consummate professionalism throughout the planning process and during the event. If you are looking to have your wedding in Estes Park, I could not imagine having it at better location.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
