Welcome to The Crested Butte Retreat
 

Intimate, Luxurious, Romantic--Your Wedding at The Crested Butte Retreat

Our stunning location will provide you with the most extraordinary venue for your most special and memorable day. Whether in the summer or winter, our retreat can provide you with everything you need to create the perfect Colorado mountain wedding and reception.

We are located on the mountainside above the historic mining town of Crested Butte. We are one of the best Rocky Mountain wedding sites in Colorado! Pristine mountains and wilderness provide the backdrop for the Victorian architecture of this lovely mountain town. Crested Butte offers unique shopping, dining and the old west charm of a National Historic District. In the summer the valleys are bursting with blooms, which is why Crested Butte is the Wildflower Capital of Colorado and a favorite for outdoor brides. Many scenic locations are available for an outdoor ceremony. As far as Colorado wedding getaways are concerned, The Crested Butte Retreat is unsurpassed!

The Retreat is ideal for weddings up to 100 people. Parties up to 50 people can arrange for a sit-down meal and larger groups can enjoy hors d'oeuvres in a relaxed setting. You can choose to have the ceremony on our outside deck (± 550 sq. ft) with Whetstone mountain in the background, and then move inside for dining and dancing.

Or for an indoor ceremony, we offer you Rocky Mountain Style with an eclectic international flair.  These spaces offer you more than 3,000 square feet of entertaining and ceremony space.

The following technological amenities are also available for your use:

  • Home theater presentation with digital projector and screen

  • Audio system

  • Wired and wireless internet access

If your wedding has outgrown our facility, there are many other venues in our area for your ceremony while the wedding party may continue to be pampered at The Retreat. Our ten guest rooms offer mountain elegance and our spa, gym, saunas and hot tubs offer all the pampering you'll need. We offer the services of an aesthetician at the Retreat, or if you prefer, Crested Butte has several salons to create the exact look you are hoping for.

Many weddings also take place in the Crested Butte countryside. There you will find fields of wildflowers, snow capped peaks, and plenty of Colorado sunshine. Crested Butte is the official Wildflower Capital of Colorado. If you are married in historic downtown Crested Butte, you may want to employ the services of our local horse and buggy driver. A romantic send-off in a horse drawn carriage is a fabulous experience and provides a great photo opportunity.

Activities in the Crested Butte area allow the wedding party and guests many activities from which to choose. For a guys' golf outing, the country club hosts an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II golf course. For the sports enthusiast, we have some of Colorado's finest single track mountain biking to get your adrenaline pumping. For the "pamper me" enthusiast, The Retreat's spa services will rejuvenate and prepare you for the special day.

There are several local wedding planners that can guide you (if you are unfamiliar with our town and area), through your big day. They can be found at www.gunnisoncrestedbutteweddings.com

We have several area churches for more traditional wedding options. These churches range from historic to modern and are Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, and Union Congregationalist.

Getting here is easy. We are centrally located less than 4 hours by car from Denver, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction and our local airport in Gunnison has an excellent flight schedule to accommodate your needs.
