Top of The Pines | Ridgway Wedding Venue

Top of the Pines
Top of the Pines Wedding

This may be one of the most incredible unobstructed mountain views on the Western Slope. Truly, one of the most beautiful places I’ve been honored to photograph a Wedding. Top of the Pines is a hidden gem, nestled between Ridgway and Telluride. Though, it does take a bit of navigation to get to. But, nothing that is too complicated or tricky. You do not need 4-wheel drive to get here, but I don’t recommend a super low-to-the-ground vehicle. Your average car/truck, should do just fine in non-snowy months. (If I can do it, you will be great . . . read, this Jersey girl did not a grow up a mountain driver.) Plan on about 45-50 minutes to get here from the center of town.

Top of the Pines has the most quaint and secluded area for your outdoor reception. Sweet decorated tables nuzzled right between a grove of trees allows plenty of space for guests to eat and dance! One of my favorite aspects about Top of the Pines is the long rustic porch fixed on their back of the main cabin. It made for amazing bridal portraits!

Ridgway State Park Wedding
Ridgway State Park

I’ve done more sessions at this location than probably any other location in Ridgway. Ridgway State Park is ideal for those who are wanting an epic backdrop for their ceremony and sunset photos. There is an overlook to the reservoir that is just stunning for the ceremony location. Built in seating allows for guests to be nice and close and take in all the views while you exchange vows!

There are options available for outdoor ceremonies in the lower parts of the state park. From there you can have food trucks, a DJ or band, and a full-on party to celebrate with your family and friends! This venue is a relatively low-cost option for a venue. Since, it is not labeled as a wedding venue, there will be some DIY options. Tables, center pieces, decorations, etc. . .

Ridgway State Park is about a 30 min drive from the center of Montrose. It is a super easy smooth drive, has easy access to the park, and is not a complicated route at all. It sits right along highway 550. The Dutch Charlie exit is the one you will want to tour for your Wedding day!
