Colorado Springs, CO, USA < change city >

Band:

Blue Moon Entertainment

"Chris from Blue Moon is fantastic! He's so friendly and kept the party flowing, taking all of our suggestions and "do not play" songs into consideration. One of my friends liked him so much she just hired him for her upcoming wedding!"

Florist:

Jean-Marie Designs

"Jean-Marie is great! I got really nervous because there were some communication issues that were pretty close to the wedding, but I could not have asked for prettier bouquets or table arrangements."

Photographer:

Cayton Photography

"Cayton Photography is absolutely fantastic! Very prompt and professional, and they make beautiful photos. They know when to fade into the scenery (during the ceremony we didn't even realize they were there taking photos). We hired them for both our engagement photos and wedding photos and would do it again!"

Ceremony & Reception:

Ceremony & Reception

"The Garden of the Gods Club was absolutely amazing. The venue and view is simply gorgeous. They followed every tiny instruction I had for the setup of the tables and favors. We had our own personal waitress for the cocktail hour and reception, which was pampering I didn't expect (and could easily have gotten used to!) I just wish we could have had the party go all night instead of stopping at midnight!"

The Lodge at Garden of the Gods Club

"We spent our wedding night here, and it was amazing!"

Restaurant:

Fargos Pizza Restaurant

"This is one spot in Colorado Springs that James begs Jen to take him to multiple times every visit. Reminiscent of 1980s theme restaurants with a little bit of Disney mixed in, this pizza place is one to remember. Plus they have an old-school arcade!"

Restaurant:

IHOP

Restaurant:

Mona Lisa Fondue Restuarant

"This little fondue restaurant in picturesque Manitou Springs, is one of Jenny's favorite restaurants in town. Though a little on the pricey side, it is truly a dinner to remember!"

Restaurant:

Noodles & Co.

"This is Jenny's favorite place to eat when she is in town - she swears by the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese! It is sort of in between a sit-down restaurant and a fast-food one, but no matter what, the food is delicious!"

Outback Steakhouse

Restaurant:

Panera Bread

"This is a delicious spot for breakfast pastries or soups and sandwiches."

Restaurant:

Red Robin

Restaurant:

Romano's Macaroni Grill

Restaurant:

The Golden Bee at the Broadmoor

"This is truly an old English pub, really! It was torn down in London and brought to Colorado Springs (formerly nicknamed "Little London")! Great traditional cuisine, and if you can handle it, yards of beer."

Rehearsal Dinner:

Rehearsal Dinner - Flying W Ranch

"Such a fun thing to do with people from out of town! My only complaint was that it was misleading. We had been told we would have a private room for our event, and we did not - we had to sit outside with everyone else - this meant we did not get to do the usual rehearsal dinner things like the toasts, bridal party gifts, etc. Disappointing, but still fun."

Attraction:

Cave of the Winds

"Cave of the Winds is one of Colorado’s great natural wonders. There are several different tours to choose from to explore the amazing underground caves which are over 500 million years old!"

Attraction:

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

"Literally sitting on the side of Cheyenne Mountain, this is one of the only mountainside zoos in the world! They’re a leader in conservation, captive breeding, and animal care. Plus, the view from the mountain is spectacular."

Attraction:

Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center

"This museum and theatre is special to Jenny because she used to have her dance recitals on this stage! They also have a very good art museum that was renovated a few years ago."

Attraction:

Garden of the Gods

"Our wedding ceremony will be overlooking this gorgeous natural wonder, but a drive or hike through the park is always wonderful. Bring your camera, as you are sure to see plenty of wildlife and breathtaking views."

Attraction:

Pikes Peak Cog Railway

"Visiting the top of Pikes Peak is always a beautiful sight, though the drive up the side of the mountain can be a bit scary. That’s one of the reasons that the Cog Railway is such a great attraction! Fun fact: it’s known as “The World’s Highest Cog Railway”. You’ll get to spend 30-40 minutes at the top of Pikes Peak, and see beautiful Colorado sights the whole way up and down the mountain that you could never see on the road."

Attraction:

Seven Falls

"Seven Falls is just what it sounds like – seven waterfalls in one! Nestled deep in Cheyenne Canyon, water cascades 181 feet in 7 different ways. It’s been dubbed the “Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado.” And at night, the falls are beautifully lit up"

Movie Theater:

Kimball's Peak Three Theater

"This is a great little movie theater (and also a wine bar!) that usually shows more artsy movies, though still mainstream. It is a perfect stop if you want to have a romantic night on the town while you're here."

Movie Theater:

Tinseltown (Movie Theater)

"If you happen to have some time to kill and have an urge to see a movie, this is a great movie theater. All stadium seating and recently remodeled, plus their popcorn is delicious."

Shopping:

Bed Bath and Beyond

Shopping:

Borders

"If you're in need of reading material, this Borders usually has everything you'd need."

Shopping:

Chapel Hills Mall

"The nicer of our two malls, the Chapel Hills Mall has a great selection of stores for all of your shopping needs."

Shopping:

Citadel Mall

"This mall is not as nice as the Chapel Hills Mall, but if you feel the need to go to the mall, it's usually quicker to get to this one."

Shopping:

Target

"Our trusty Target!"

Shopping:

The Shops at Briargate

"This is probably the nicest shopping center in town, with a William-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, PF Chang's, California Pizza Kitchen, Ulta, and even the Apple Store!"

"A great little local coffee & tea shop."
