North Star Gatherings

Exchange vows against the breathtaking backdrop of the Continental Divide. This expansive outdoor deck is designed to immerse you and your guests in the natural beauty of Idaho Springs, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Rockies and lush national forest land. The space features a custom triangle arch and natural tree stump accents that complement the rugged landscape. It is a serene, high-altitude setting where the mountain air and 360-degree vistas create an unforgettable atmosphere for a truly "top of the world" wedding ceremony.

The Great Hall is a bright, modern reception sanctuary lined with floor-to-ceiling windows and view-through doors that bring the mountains inside. The interior balances mountain warmth with contemporary chic, featuring soaring ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and a cozy gas fireplace. The open floor plan easily transforms to accommodate farmhouse tables, a live band, and a custom dance floor. With a sleek built-in bar and panoramic views from every angle, it is the perfect space to dine and celebrate while staying connected to the wild Colorado landscape.

Spanning the entire length of the venue, the Cocktail Deck is the ultimate spot for high-altitude mingling. This outdoor space connects seamlessly to the ceremony area, offering unobstructed views of the Rockies where wildlife sightings are a common treat. Guests can sip craft cocktails by propane-powered heaters while watching the sunset over the Eastern ridge. It is a sophisticated yet relaxed environment designed for slow sipping, mountain air, and enjoying the vibrant wildflowers and forest scenery that define this unique solar-powered estate.

North Star Gatherings provides two distinct, thoughtful preparation suites for the wedding party. The Loft is a chic interior sanctuary located above the Great Hall, featuring a dedicated makeup counter, powder room, and lounge seating for all-day relaxation. For a more secluded experience, the Aspen House is a charming "tiny home" tucked away in a private aspen grove. Equipped with electricity and large glass doors to welcome the forest in, these spaces ensure a calm, beautiful start to your celebration among the trees.
