TOP Telluride WEDDING VENUES
San Sophia Overlook: Probably the most iconic wedding venue in Telluride is San Sophia Overlook. As the name suggests, this overlook location has an incredible view of the San Juan mountains surrounding the area. This ceremony site offers a wooden deck to decorate to your whim with seating up to 250 guests!
Sheridan Opera House: As they say on their website, “The historic Sheridan Opera House is a charming and intimate venue centrally located in stunning Telluride, Colorado.” The space has preserved all the quirky goodness that comes with hosting your celebration at a historic opera house: a beautiful stage setting, room for dancing, and a full bar! Located right in downtown Telluride you and your guests will be close to all this town has to offer.
Gorrono Ranch: Another top wedding venue in Telluride is Gorrono Ranch. The iconic barn venue in Mountain Village is named after the family that built the ranch. The ranch boasts multiple large wooden decks on site: one that is typically used as the ceremony and reception site that you may see in many photographs of the venue, with the Wilson Mountain Range as its backdrop. There are also two smaller cabins that can be used as getting ready rooms. Gorrono Ranch can host up to 200 guests.
Allred’s: This wedding venue is a unique dining experience at 10,551 feet above seal level! As their website states, “The 12,000 square foot restaurant features an arched foyer and hallways reminiscent of old European wine cellars, with stacked rock walls, custom designed wine cabinets, 25 foot floor-to-ceiling glass windows and huge stone fireplace.”
Mountain Lodge Telluride: If you’re looking for a more unique venue for your Telluride wedding, the Mountain Lodge might be for you. From a poolside reception space to grassy ceremony site with 360 degrees of San Juan mountain views, there are a lot of ways to customize your celebration at this venue!

Sound pretty great?
Since starting my business in 2012 and moving here in 2015, I've been helping couples navigate the beautiful chaos of planning and photographing elopements across Colorado's Western Slope, San Juan Mountains, and Moab, Utah.
I believe your wedding day should feel as beautiful as it looks—which means comfortable, stress-free, and entirely true to who you are.
Whether you need comprehensive planning support, photography that captures the story and scenery of your day, or both—I'm here to make sure the experience is exactly what you hoped for.
When I'm not helping couples, you can find me with a chai latte, binge-watching Gilmore Girls & Grey's Anatomy - again.

Telluride Wedding Photo Inspiration
-Allison & Ethan
Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. The photos perfectly captured the whole day and I feel like I can easily relive it just by looking back at the photos. I highly recommend Amanda.
"The Perfect Wedding Photographer"
-Megan & Jordan
Amanda was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The photos are exceptional and perfectly capture the scenery and vibe we were going for, but that’s only a portion of what Amanda provided. She helped give us planning guidance, organization, and reassurance throughout, which alleviated all the worries we had about eloping in a place we’d never been before.
"the best decision we made"
-Beth & Dustin
We used Amanda for our wedding and she is the BEST! Our photos turned out amazing and she captured the feel of our night perfectly. She’s also really fun to hang with. We didn’t want her to leave at the end of the night!
