Tucked into the pine trees of Castle Pines, Cielo is a polished, forest-lined wedding venue just minutes south of Denver. With grand indoor halls, stone fireplaces, and a quiet outdoor ceremony space surrounded by evergreens, this venue blends formality with Colorado charm.
As a Cielo at Castle Pines wedding photographer, I love how this venue balances space and intimacy. It feels elevated without being overwhelming — a perfect blend of structure and nature.
Why Couples Love Cielo
Cielo is one of the most versatile venues in the south metro area — great for all-season weddings and flexible enough for both formal and nature-forward styles.
Why it works:
- Outdoor pine forest ceremony site with built-in arbor
- Grand indoor ballroom with tall ceilings and soft lighting
- Two prep suites and a private courtyard
- Indoor/outdoor cocktail hour options with fountains and stone patios

It’s ideal for couples who want Colorado woodlands with upscale comfort and convenience.

Why I Love Photographing at Cielo
I’m Ben — the photographer behind Boxcar. I’ve worked dozens of weddings here, and it consistently offers flow, calm energy, and clean light — even on stormy days.
What I bring:
- Timeline help to align portrait sessions with forest light
- Experience with indoor ceremony backup and rain plans
- Clean edits that complement pine trees, stone, and natural color
- A calm presence to help the day feel supported and grounded
