Located in Estes Park, CO, The Grove at Cheley is a scenic wedding venue for mountain celebrations. With 800 acres of beautiful land, the property has breathtaking views of Longs Peak, Mount Meeker, and the Mummy Range. We are in the Estes Park Valley, with Twin Sister Mountain to the rear.
The Grove at Cheley has been a family-owned summer camp for over 100 years and has welcomed more than half a million young people. Before opening here in 1927, we were based around Bear Lake, in Rocky Mountain National Park. Weddings can be held at our property from late August to early October.
The Grove at Cheley can accommodate up to 200 seated guests for ceremonies and receptions, where the mountains act as a stunning backdrop. Ceremonies take place in the Fish Creek Ranch meadow, complete with a wooden stage. From here, you can transition to a reception in a large tent that is outfitted with a dance floor, banquet seating, and a DJ area. Dressing areas are available at Pasture Place and Chipeta Lodge for the wedding party to use as they get ready for the day.

The most beautiful venue! We booked this space due to mountain vibe and easy access. Kim and her team let us check out the venue and were so accommodating. I received so many compl...
iments about the space and view are unmatched. It was great to allow our out of state family to check out Estes and get there easily from out of state. The bridal and groom suites were spacious and offered all you need to get ready for your big day. The cocktail area and reception lodge were just the cherry on top. We loved every part of our big day and Cheley made it so easy!

The most beautiful venue in Estes Park! We booked Cheley for our wedding sight unseen as we live out of state and couldn't be happier. We used the Chapel and Lodge for our wedding...
and reception and people are still saying it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to. The backdrop is second to none. Brooke and Bo were amazing to work with, and every staff member we met was extremely friendly and helpful. They helped us coordinate every detail from hundreds of miles away to make the day beyond perfect. We are still reminiscing about how incredible the day was. Perfect in every way. We highly recommend!
