Love Notes
“My husband and I knew that we wanted to be married in Buena Vista, Colorado as it was a sentimental place to each put us. We are so thankful for the Heart of the Rockies Wedding Association. We were unsure of where to start in the planning process, as this was our first time planning a wedding. The Heart of the Rockies website made the entire process so much easier. When we found their website, it was like striking gold. From their online membership listings, we were able to find our caterer, event rentals, florist and so much more. It was reassuring knowing these vendors were professional and knew the area. I can’t stress how thankful we are for this association of amazing people! It was an incredible day thanks to their help.”

Fun facts
How did the venue become a wedding venue?
13 years ago, Heart of the Rockies Wedding Association was formed when only a handful of vendors had a vision that their region was ideal for mountain weddings. This was before “Destination Weddings” was even a hot topic in the wedding industry. Now, weddings have grown into a massive business in the Colorado High Country. We’ve grown to an energized membership of 70 and we continue to expand. We’re a passionate collective who give fantastic service because we love getting to make people happy during such a special time in their lives. We especially enjoy introducing so many wonderful couples and their families and friends to this land we are so privileged to call home.
