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.

Exceptional Choice for an Exceptional Day!
Perfect mountain wedding venue
We chose to get married in the Chapel (which has the most amazing view of the Mummy Range) and had our reception in the the Lodge. As Estes Park locals who explored almost every venue option in this town, we believe The Cheley Lodge & Grove is the most unique and beautiful mountain wedding venue around.
Beautiful Estes Park venue with great mountain views!
