A Perfect Venue for Your Intimate Summer Wedding in Estes Park

This small wedding at The Landing at Estes Park was everything I love about intimate summer weddings in the mountains. It was calm, laid-back, connected, and full of joy. The couple chose this wedding venue because it offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, plus their dog could be a part of their outdoor ceremony!

The peaceful setting, just minutes from downtown Estes Park yet tucked away near Rocky Mountain National Park, made it the ideal backdrop for their celebration.

Why You’re Going to Love The Landing at Estes Park for Weddings

One of the best things about The Landing is that you can buy out the entire property, so you get exclusive access to all the beautiful spaces and on-site lodging. The owners are local and family-oriented, which means every couple feels deeply cared for. It’s kinda like being part of a big extended family.

This Estes Park wedding venue offers stunning mountain and stream views, multiple indoor and outdoor event areas, and so much space to make your wedding day uniquely yours. I especially love how easy it is to bring in personal touches like food trucks and yard games like this couple did!

Private Mary’s Lake Wedding Vows

Just a few minute drive from The Landing at Estes Park is Mary’s Lake. This is a great (dog-friendly) spot where you can take photos outside of the national park! This is where these two decided to share a private first look and intimate vow reading before they went on to explore RMNP.

A huge highlight of this day was sneaking away with the couple for portraits in Rocky Mountain National Park. The park’s breathtaking scenery adds a truly magical and adventurous element to the wedding day photos. It’s so close to The Landing, which makes it an easy and perfect choice for couples wanting that iconic Colorado mountain backdrop without any hassle.

Beautiful Indoor & Outdoor Spaces with Mountain & Stream Views

Back at The Landing, the wedding celebration continued in the venue’s thoughtfully designed spaces.

The outdoor ceremony took place right along the gentle stream, which provided an intimate and peaceful setting. The groom actually designed and made this beautiful wedding arch! And the florals were the perfect addition.

Afterwards, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the spacious deck overlooking the mountains. This is such a relaxing and scenic spot! The indoor reception space was warm and inviting, with plenty of room to spread out or keep close. And the ceremony space was transformed into an area for yard games and enjoying the stream!
