If you’re planning a Colorado mountain wedding and want a venue that combines charm, mountain views, and accessibility, the Silverthorne Pavilion might be your perfect match. Nestled in Summit County and surrounded by the Rockies, this venue offers the kind of backdrop that doesn’t need much — just two people, some light, and a camera that knows how to tell your story.
As a Colorado wedding photographer based part-time in Denver, I’ve shot in mountain towns across the state. Silverthorne stands out not just for its scenery, but for the way it makes couples feel at home. It’s grand without being overwhelming, scenic without being remote, and incredibly versatile for weddings of all styles.
Why Choose Silverthorne Pavilion?
Silverthorne Pavilion brings together natural beauty and thoughtful design. Whether you’re planning an indoor ceremony, an open-air reception, or something in between, this venue offers flexibility without compromising on vibe.
What I love most:
- Mountain views in every direction
- Rustic architecture with warm wood and high ceilings
- A riverside trail perfect for portraits
- Easy access for guests traveling from Denver or out of state
This venue is perfect for couples who want that “Colorado mountain wedding” feel without the logistical headaches of going deep into the backcountry.
What a Wedding Looks Like Here
From a photography perspective, the Pavilion gives you a ton to work with:
- Prep shots in soft, natural light from the bridal suite
- Ceremony backdrops that showcase both the couple and the landscape
- A warm, wood-toned interior that glows during golden hour
- Stunning exits across the pedestrian bridge under string lights
We can also venture nearby for portraits along the Blue River Trail or a short drive into Dillon or Frisco for mountain lake scenery.
Best Time of Year to Get Married in Silverthorne
Each season offers something unique:

From Ben
Silverthorne Pavilion is one of those places that gives you options. You can go full formal or keep it laid-back. You can dance inside or under the stars. You can dress it up or let the mountains do the talking.
As a wedding photographer who splits time between Denver and the Midwest, I love venues that blend beauty, function, and flexibility — and Silverthorne delivers all three.
If you’re considering this venue and want images that feel real, relaxed, and a little adventurous — I’d love to document your day.
