You and your guests can fully immerse yourselves in the celebration, creating memories in a space that feels entirely your own.

3. A Serene Mountain Retreat

Located just outside Rocky Mountain National Park, Wild Basin Lodge offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Your guests will feel like they’ve escaped to a serene retreat, yet it’s close enough to nearby towns for convenient accommodations. It’s a place where you can leave the hustle and bustle behind and focus solely on your love story.

4. Two Dreamy Ceremony Sites

The Meadow ceremony site boasts expansive views of the Rockies, while the Riverside site offers a romantic, wooded atmosphere by the water. Both provide incredible opportunities for heartfelt and picturesque moments.
