Summertime is wedding time in Beaver Creek. With spectacular natural beauty, warm, sunny weather and exceptional venues it’s no wonder this intimate mountain resort has become an increasingly popular destination for brides- and grooms-to-be. For those searching for a location away from it all, Beaver Creek offers three luxury on-mountain cabins; Beano’s, Allie’s and Zach’s, each promising the ultimate in privacy, decadence and finery. In the village, exchange vows at Beaver Creek Chapel nestled among the aspens and the bubbling Beaver Creek. Nearby Avon offers the perfect backdrop for a shoreline celebration at Nottingham Lake and Park.

With three full-service spas, accommodations range from the high-end splendor of the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek and the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, to the off-beat brilliance of Kessler’s Beaver Creek Lodge, to quaint European-inspired Inns such as The Pines Lodge.

Beaver Creek Chapel
The New York Times featured the Beaver Creek Chapel in a story about slopeside religion in January 2004.  Among the most popular locations for a wedding service, the Beaver Creek Chapel, set mountainside, has been a beautiful addition to the resort. Having received numerous awards for its architecture, the Chapel was designed to complement the grove of aspen and balsam poplar trees that it is nestled in. Intimate and secluded, the chapel was built in 1987 and remains a must see in Beaver Creek Village. Named as one of the most popular wedding sites in the nation by Bride’s Magazine, the Beaver Creek Chapel is often host to six weddings a day on popular Saturdays throughout the summer. Its mountain elegance design, highlighted by the symbolism of flowing water through its one-of-a-kind baptistry, create the perfect ambience for a couples’ most special day. The chapel can seat 180 guests on the main level and up to 220 with balcony and side seating. Couples wishing to be married in the Chapel need to be sponsored by one of five Christian clergy or by the Jewish officiator.

The Charter at Beaver Creek
The Charter at Beaver Creek is another wonderful host location for a wedding celebration offering spacious condominiums to house the wedding party and guests, a full service spa to pamper frazzled nerves and comfortably elegant dining and meeting facilities to accommodate intimate gatherings or large events.
