Planning your wedding day is an exhilarating experience centered around finding the perfect place to exchange your vows. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or an extravagant celebration, a riverside wedding venue in Colorado is one of the most romantic environments you can choose. Located on the beautiful Yampa River in Steamboat Springs, CO, The Boathouse offers a glamorous indoor event venue that seamlessly transitions into a gorgeous outdoor space at the river’s edge. Scenic, tranquil mountain views and shimmering waters provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable ceremony that marks the beginning of your life together.
Why Choose a Riverside Venue?
Outdoor weddings are an increasingly popular way for couples to create a romantic environment for their wedding ceremony. A Colorado waterfront wedding venue sets the scene with a naturally romantic atmosphere, complimented by tranquil flowing waters and picturesque views. Regardless of the colors and styles that make your wedding unique, the beautiful Yampa River promises to enhance your setting with stunning views and a natural ambiance that can’t be matched indoors.
The Boathouse: A Unique Venue
The Boathouse is an elegant indoor-outdoor event space offering a luxurious setting for your wedding ceremony, perfectly complemented by the natural beauty of one of Colorado’s most stunning locations. Situated along the gorgeous Yampa River, The Boathouse is an all-in-one wedding venue with three levels of sophisticated space for your wedding events.
The first-floor event space provides an atmosphere that brings the outside in, with wood-look floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and bi-folding doors that open to the riverside patio. A seamless transition from indoors to outside allows your celebration to extend to an outdoor space along the river’s edge where guests can enjoy a covered patio, deck, and lawn. The patio includes an inclement weather system, allowing for your celebration to continue even if a spring storm rolls through. Indoors and out, the breathtaking Colorado scenery provides a natural ambiance to complement your big day.
Scenic Backdrops for Photography
Surrounded by picturesque mountains and flanked by the flowing Yampa River, The Boathouse’s natural surroundings provide exquisite photo opportunities. Whether you host your ceremony outside with an idyllic background or gather together for memory-making portraits, the deck and patio both overlook the water and provide picture-perfect locations. From the shimmering river to the sprawling views of Howelsen Hill, practically every angle provides a scenic backdrop to the ceremony of a lifetime.
