Getting Married At The Arrabelle At Vail Square
The Arrabelle At Vail Square is one of the most popular and luxurious wedding venues in Colorado. Notably featuring a fully customizable ‘tented’ wedding reception space in the middle of the prettiest, most European styled part of Vail, it’s truly one of my favorite parts of the mountain. In addition, it’s an easily accessible venue featuring on-site room blocks, walkable access to the gondola that has the Holy Cross Wedding Deck and Vail Wedding Deck at the top. Being only 2-2.5 hours from Denver International Airport, it’s also the perfect destination wedding location with easy access. Overall, I feel that The Arrabelle is a stunning wedding venue that features the best of the Colorado mountains with a fail safe tented option that feels luxurious.

While there are wedding photographers and videographers based in Vail, your selection is a bit more limited. Notably, due to being a high cost of living area and being in a more remote location, most wedding photographers and videographers in Colorado live closer to Denver and the front range. However, most will not charge travel fees to Vail or have reduced travel due to it being around 2-hours from downtown Denver.
