The Old Firehouse

The Old Firehouse is a stunning wedding venue located in Ridgway, CO, with a premier dining and event space available, helping you and your guests create unforgettable memories. The team would be beyond delighted to help you bring your dream wedding to life on their incredible property. Originally built in 1882, this building served as a home for railroad workers before eventually becoming the town's firehouse. However, it was left without a bell for many years until the producers of "True Grit," a 1969 Western starring John Wayne, installed a bell for the film. The Old Firehouse continued serving as a community space and later became the studio of renowned artists Michael McCullough and Lucy Boody. Since then, this seeped-in-history building has become the perfect wedding and event venue with an integrated restaurant. The Old Firehouse can accommodate intimate micro weddings and grand affairs with up to 150 guests; the options are endless. Two event spaces are available for your celebration: the indoor-outdoor garden space and the relaxed outdoor area, Pat's Place. The team offers complete catering services with a plated and buffet option available. Bar packages include craft beers, wine, cocktails, and much more. The team can also provide fresh floral displays, music, decor, and gifts from local artists, which are ideal wedding favors. The Old Firehouse is the perfect space for your rustic wedding celebration.
