Flagstaff House Wedding | Elevated Dining and Epic Views in Boulder, CO

A bride and groom stand close together in a grassy outdoor setting at a FLAGSTAFF HOUSE Wedding, holding a bouquet of flowers, with mountains and trees in the background.

This could be you.

Perched 6,000 feet above sea level on the edge of the Flatirons, Flagstaff House offers one of the most iconic wedding venues in Boulder. Known for its Michelin-level food, intimate hospitality, and sweeping canyon views, this mountaintop restaurant is ideal for couples who want a wedding focused on taste, presence, and unforgettable scenery.

As a Flagstaff House wedding photographer, I love how the light rolls through this space — from golden hour on the balcony to candlelight on the wine cellar walls.


Why Couples Love Flagstaff House

This is a fine-dining restaurant with a legacy — run by the same family for three generations — and it brings intentionality to every detail of your wedding day.

Why it works:

  • Panoramic views of Boulder Canyon and the Continental Divide
  • Exceptional cuisine and wine pairings
  • Private event spaces for elopements, ceremonies, or receptions
  • Timeless ambiance with warm wood and glowing light
  • Easy drive from downtown Boulder, but feels far away

It’s perfect for couples who want an elevated, intimate experience that centers around food, connection, and view.
