Congratulations on your upcoming elopement, and thank you for considering Mountain Valley Home as the venue for your ceremony! You have come to the right place! We believe in intimate, stress-free, beautiful ceremonies personalized just for you. (If you're planning a larger wedding event including guests other than the bride and groom, please consider us for your accommodation needs, or those of your guests.)

Your personalized ceremony will be conducted by Paul, our resident officiate. Winter ceremonies are held before our warm and inviting fireplace located adjacent to a large picture window with panoramic mountain views. (See photo below.) When the weather permits, outdoor elopements may be held under our beautiful arch located next to our waterfall, stream and Koi pond, or at various picturesque locations in Rocky Mountain National Park. (See the Weddings section of "Lynn's Photo Gallery" on this site.) RMNP ceremony locations, permit, and other information can be found at Rocky Mountain National Park. You may also be interested in viewing our helpful information regarding the acquisition of your Colorado marriage license.

Our elopement services (for the bride and groom only, no guests) are provided 'a la carte' and priced to fit any budget. Choose from the services listed below to create a beautiful, stress-free ceremony "package" that is uniquely yours:

For the ultimate in romantic transportation, we highly recommend Tender Grass Carriage's horse-drawn carriage rides (owned and operated by Don and Cherie)! You'll be transported to a simpler, more magical time as you step into your beautifully decorated carriage, your driver says, "Step up there Nick (or Bud)," and you hear the clop clop clop of those amazing Clydesdale "shoes" on the pavement. We can't imagine a more memorable and enchanting way to see Estes Park and it's breathtaking surroundings. (To be taken directly to their Web site where you'll find additional photos as well as the contact information you'll need to book your fairytale ride, just click the following link www.TenderGrassCarriages.com. Then tell them Lynn and Paul sent you, and prepare for the ride of your dreams!

Pictured at left is the warm and relaxing fireside location for your inclement-weather elopement ceremony.

In our exclusive Guest Great Room you'll find a full kitchen, dining area, and family room with conversation area and fireplace. Our exciting new Wine Tasting Room (adjoining the Guest Great Room) will transport you to romantic Tuscany as you sample the fruits of the vine. Both areas are perfect for spending time with one another in a relaxed and romantic setting. (For more information see the "Tuscan Wine Room" and "Great Room & Kitchen" headings listed under the "Amenities" tab located along the left side of our Web pages.)

For your accommodation needs you may choose from our five luxury suites including: Elk Meadow, Deer Trail, The Bear's Den, Valley View, and Mountain View (pictured to the right). All of our beautifully appointed suites have been decorated with fresh new colors, furnishings, designer linens, window treatments, and wall decor. Please see detailed descriptions with photos on our individual "Suites" pages, and the rates page on this site, then call us at 970-586-3100 to request your suite and ceremony reservations.
