About Bonnie Blues Event Center
Bonnie Blues Event Center is a family-run venue, and there’s a heartwarming story behind its name. It’s actually named after a beloved grandmother, which makes it feel extra special. From the start, you’ll see that this venue is all about creating memories and celebrating love in a place full of warmth and charm.
Even though it’s located in the peaceful Colorado countryside, it’s just a quick 40-minute drive from Denver—so, it’s the best of both worlds! The surrounding nature makes it a perfect spot for wedding photos, too. It’s no wonder so many couples are drawn to its cozy yet spacious vibe.
Details of the Grounds
So, let’s talk about the actual space because this is where it gets good!
Ceremony Spaces: Bonnie Blues has both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, which is awesome depending on the kind of vibe you’re going for. Imagine exchanging vows outside, surrounded by Colorado’s natural beauty. Or, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, you’ve got a gorgeous indoor ceremony space with cozy wood tones that set a romantic mood for your ceremony. And they can comfortably fit up to 200 guests, which is perfect for both intimate weddings and larger celebrations.
Reception Spaces: After saying “I do,” you’ll head to their stunning barn for the reception. It’s got that rustic charm but with all the modern touches to make your decor dreams come to life. The barn’s versatility is perfect for whatever vibe you’re going for. And with space for up to 200 guests, it’s ideal for dancing the night away.
Getting Ready Spaces: This venue has both a bridal suite and groom’s cabin. Perfect for taking a breather before the big moment. You’ll be close to everything, but you’ll still have plenty of privacy to get ready in your own space. It’s the little touches like this that make all the difference! I love having a space to photograph my couples getting ready. It’s so tricky to do so when the room is too small or if it’s off-site. So having something on-site in a gorgeous space is amazing.
Other Spaces: For the cocktail hour, there’s a charming covered patio area with a built-in bar. It’s the perfect spot to mingle, sip cocktails, and enjoy the outdoors. Plus, there’s a lovely lawn where you can set up lawn games—because who doesn’t love a little friendly competition during a wedding?
Photography Opportunities
Now, I know as a photographer, I’m a little biased, but Bonnie Blues is a dream for anyone looking to capture their wedding day. One of my favorite spots? The mountain views around the venue—they make for the most breathtaking backdrops, no filter needed! And with the venue’s barn, patio, and greenhouse areas, the options for unique and beautiful shots are endless.
