their site posts it straight: $6k fri/sat, $5k sunday, $4k weekdays

full day rental (not by the hour), covers the indoor hall plus an outdoor ceremony site, $1,500 damage deposit refunded after an inspection, add-ons like a rehearsal dinner cost more on top, hiring their partner coordinator the perfect day co is required on top of the rental, and local couples and military get discounts

found this one while going down a durango venue rabbit hole and it's a nice contrast to places that make you email for every number lol. a photographer who's shot a lot of weddings here said they always find good spots on site, plus there's a 5 minute drive to off-site locations for private vows or a first look. heads up that you're required to hire their partner agency, the perfect day co, as day-of coordinator, and a venue manager is on site during the event they also let you bring in your own caterer and have on site lodging available for guests.

$4k-$6k full day rental depending on day of week

Fri/Sat $6,000, Sun $5,000, Mon-Thu $4,000; full day rental includes the indoor event hall + North Meadow ceremony site; $1,500 refundable damage deposit; rehearsal dinner or extra setup/cleanup time cost extra, no tiered packages otherwise

- flat day rate, no confusing tiers, which they call out explicitly on their own pricing page - a rabbi who's officiated weddings all over the world singled this place out for its sense of place - a photographer who shoots durango weddings regularly rates it a top spot for mountain views year round - one review suggests upgrading the chairs from the third party rental company, so ask what's default vs upgrade
