To take the hassle out of the planning process, we've done the research to narrow down the top affordable wedding venues in Colorado. To determine what makes a venue budget-friendly, we looked at places under $12,800, which, per our Real Weddings Study, was the 2023 average venue cost.

Also, when selecting an affordable wedding venue in The Centennial State, it's a good idea to consider ones with both indoor and outdoor event spaces in the event of inclement weather. What's more, Colorado is cold and snowy in the winter months, which is why it's a good idea to have an indoor space as a backup. Fortunately, most of our top picks of the most affordable wedding venues in Colorado offer this.
