Are you looking for a venue with lots of history with modern touches? You may have found your perfect venue here at Howard Creek Farm! Owners Aly and Orlin had a vision for their 11 acre ranch nestled amongst the Arkansas river and at the floor of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.

This 4,000sqft barn can host up to 200 of your closest friends and family members. Complete with a unique grooms grain silo suite, a newly built beautiful bridal suite, and a hay field for your ceremony, you won’t have to leave the property from start to finish!
Hutchinson Ranch | Salida, Colorado
Is a “working ranch” on your list of must-haves for your wedding venue? Or maybe you didn’t realize how important it was to you until you saw an adorable photo of cattle visiting your wedding ceremony? Whatever the case, Hutchinson Ranch, a family owned and working ranch since the 1800’s located in the historic town of Salida, Colorado, has created a beautiful and memorable wedding venue in our part of the state! Complete with an outdoor meadow ceremony and a 36’x60’ event barn, electric, restrooms, and an outdoor rustic event space, your guests will feel right at home in their cowboy boots at this wonderful and welcoming venue!

This 330 acre ranch has it all––seriously!

Family owned by the Guyton’s, no detail was left untouched with love and sincere consideration for the couples who would be saying, “We do!” at this magical place.
Willow Vale Events | Hillside, Colorado
Now, don’t let the name fool you––just because the word “ranch” isn’t in Willow Vale’s name, doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer all the charm, epic views, and history you’re likely searching for as your iconic Colorado wedding venue! Nestled in the historical township of Hillside, Colorado, just outside of the mountain town of Westcliffe, this beautiful hidden gem of a venue boasts views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, four adorable cottages, a historical post office, and some of the most lush willow trees this side of the Rocky Mountains.
