About The Lodge at Breckenridge Wedding Venue
The quaint mountain town of Breckenridge, located about 80 miles from Denver, has a rich history nestled into the Arapaho National Forest. During the 1850s, prospectors began settling the area during the gold rush, and it officially became a town in 1867. Over 150 years later, Breckenridge has become known for its world-class skiing, as well as its mild summers and breathtaking vistas.
While the area’s history certainly adds to the charm and allure of The Lodge, its spectacular event spaces, luxury accommodations, and extraordinary views make it the incredible wedding venue it is known to be today.
It underwent a significant transformation in the early 2000s, elevating the property to meet the ideas of luxury and sophistication their guests deserved. Even while adding modern amenities and features, the owners managed to preserve The Lodge’s rustic elegance and inherent connection to its natural surroundings.
The Lodge has 57 guest rooms with unique layouts and features to make each stay unique. Guests often love the convenience of staying onsite for a destination wedding, and they will love the luxury feel of The Lodge at Breckenridge!
