The Mountain Garden
Located in a secluded glen atop Mt. Crested Butte, the Mountain Garden is a joint project of the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival and the Town of Mt. Crested Butte. The magnificent mountain backdrop and spectacular wildflowers make our garden the perfect Colorado wedding site.
Dazzling summer displays of wildflowers are made possible in this beautiful area by abundant moisture falling in the surrounding Elk Mountains. Their unusual east-west orientation holds winter snow and acts as protection from prevailing winds.
"Our friends said that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. The views are so stunning, I got chills the first time my husband and I saw the setting."
-Bride, July, 2005
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 lush meadows nearby, a beautiful garden, and practical amenities. A flagstone aisle transitions into the vows area, where the views are breathtaking. The garden is radiant with traditional garden flowers and wildflowers, hanging baskets, shrubs and trees.
MOUNTAIN GARDEN AMENITIES
- Space for seating of up to 125 guests
- A covered, open-air pavilion measuring approximately 25’x40’

"The photographs of the garden simply do not do
it justice. We were absolutely delighted!"
-Mother of the Groom, August, 2006.
