Wildflower Capital of Colorado

Set in spectacular scenery, the magnificent mountain backdrop and countless flowers make our garden the perfect Colorado wedding site.

Dazzling summer displays of wildflowers are made possible in this beautiful area by abundant moisture which falls in the surrounding Elk Mountains. Their unusual east-west orientation holds winter snow and acts as protection from prevailing winds. In 1990, Crested Butte was designated the Wildflower Capital of Colorado by the State Legislature.

Many couples envision exchanging their vows in a Rocky Mountain meadow, knee-deep in flowers, but are faced with issues of accessibility for family, guests, musicians, etc. Our site has both natural meadows, a beautiful garden, and practical amenities. It is located in a secluded glen behind and below the Mt. Crested Butte Town Hall. Limited parking, electricity and handicapped accessible restrooms are close by. There is a fountain, a flagstone aisle and vows area with space for about 125 guests. The views are breathtaking. The garden is radiant with traditional garden flowers and wildflowers, hanging baskets, shrubs and trees. The town park pavilion may be used as a rain option as well as a reception site, if desired (pictured above and below).
