Best Wedding Venues in Colorado
The St Vrain
Longmont, Colorado
The St. Vrain in Longmont, Colorado is a luxurious, industrial wedding venue that features beautiful, original exposed brick walls, chandeliers, separate bride and groom suites, cocktail hour spaces, and an open ceremony and reception space that is ready for you to make it your own. Personally, I love that The St. Vrain is full of opportunities to take advantage of the natural light. The "first look nook" and the velvet green couch in it is so beautiful. I also love how close the venue is to so many beautiful mountain views. On top of it all, the staff and amenities at The St. Vrain can't be beat. I love photographing weddings here!
