Couples seeking a modern, eco-conscious celebration will find 360-degree views of the Continental Divide and the Colorado Rockies. From the sleek architecture to the undisturbed forest surroundings, it is a premier destination for those who want the whole mountain to themselves for their romantic milestone.

Venue Review
North Star Gatherings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly easy to communicate with and always quick to respond to our questions and requests. The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with beautiful mountain views. As an eco-luxe venue, they provided a great taste of Colorado for our southern friends and family. The team at North Star Gatherings went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect in every way.
