$5k-$16k packages, elopements from ~$2k

Their site says wedding packages run $5,000-$16,000. Elopement packages run $2,000-$3,000 per Here Comes The Guide. There's a full Fri-Sun weekend buyout around $55k for 30+ guests. Catering is a curated/preferred list, not fully open.

Quick hits: - 22 acres riverfront, ~35 min west of Denver, Idaho Springs - ONE event per day = the whole property is yours - Seats up to 250 outdoors per their Here Comes The Guide listing (Zola has each event space at up to 200 seated) - Getting-ready spaces are big w/ good light - PRICIEST option in one reddit shopper's comparison "by a long shot" - Book early for a fall Saturday, they go fast - On-site lodging is just the Claim Jumper Cabin for the couple

Runs about $2,000 to $16,000.

their site gives a $5,000-$16,000 range for wedding packages with full details in a brochure on request, elopements start around $2,000, and catering is a preferred-vendor list. heads up a couple on reddit said it was the priciest place they looked at by a long shot

the firsthand stuff is mostly great tbh - a couple married here aug 2025 loved doing ceremony + cocktail hour + reception all outdoors by the creek, and when it drizzled the staff ran out and wiped down all the benches before the ceremony. BUT one photographer on reddit had a real gripe, said it feels kind of enclosed / 'just surrounded by trees' for being in the mountains, and that photogs end up driving couples up to echo lake for the big views (which the guests miss). also it's a windy drive up + the parking lot is hidden so plan a shuttle if people aren't staying in idaho springs
