Today I’m launching my latest endeavor here on the blog, and I couldn’t be more excited! For the rest of the year and into 2018 I will be focusing on uplifting and highlighting the amazing western slope wedding venues we have right here at home. I’m constantly seeing talk in the community with couples who are not sure about all their venue options out here and I hope to bridge the gap and bring a spotlight to the area!

Colorado Wine Country Inn | Western Slope Wedding Venues | amanda.matilda.photographyToday I’ll be highlighting one of the quintessential wedding venues in Palisade: the Wine Country Inn! Located right off of exit 42 on Interstate 70 in the heart of Western Colorado’s Premier Wine Country, this venue is surrounded by the beauty of the bookcliffs and vineyards all around, creating a Tuscan destination wedding feel right in your own backyard!

Trisha & Gilbert | Fall Wedding at Wine Country InnThe Wine Country Inn truly is a one stop shop for your wedding celebration. Beginning at $5,000 for weddings, couples receive an Event Planner to walk them through every step of the way, a room at their beautiful Inn, set up and breakdown taken care of and complimentary Hors D’Oeuvres with social hour! Talk about VALUE. Rooms at the inn can booked for your guests on a room-by-room basis or by floor blocks as well, making lodging super convenient for your whole guest list. Being within walking distance of several wineries and just blocks away from downtown Palisade, there is plenty to entertain your guests for the whole weekend!

Similarly the Inn provides a list of preferred vendors, but couples are allowed and encouraged to book any vendors the couple is comfortable with. With different options for locations of your ceremony, and a big ballroom that can hold your reception, this venue holds up to 150 guests! Plus with options like that, you really have the chance to customize your celebration to your desires.

And that’s not all! When I met with Victoria, the Event Planner for Wine Country Inn, she told me about their winter renovations! Over the winter they’ll be making some big changes, expanding the restaurant and ballroom for one. They hope these changes will allow them to host up to 200 guests for weddings in the future! That would make them one of the larger venues in town.

Photography-wise, this venue is a gem. Every inch of the grounds has such beautiful potential for photos and it really does feel like you’re in Napa Valley! Great natural light, abundance of beautiful backdrops, and more make this a highly sought-after western slope wedding venue for sure.
