Bishop's Castle

Real talk, this is not a normal venue. It's a hand-built stone castle in Rye that Jim Bishop spent decades constructing largely by himself, so you're renting a piece of Colorado folklore, not a banquet hall. For your $500 you get about two dozen folding chairs, a couple porta-potties and electricity, but no running water. You can hold the ceremony anywhere in or around the castle, they're flexible on that, but the reception has to happen somewhere else entirely. Big caveat, the spiral staircases are narrow and a bit sketchy per general visitor reviews and accessibility is minimal, so this only works for a certain kind of couple and guest list. Booking is literally calling Daniel Bishop at the number on the site, no online system. It's up in the mountains around Rye.
