About The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings
Tucked away in Golden, CO, just a short drive from Denver, The Pines offers a secluded, romantic mountain escape while still being easily accessible for guests. The venue features expansive pine forests, cozy indoor spaces, and breathtaking sunset views.

Ceremony and Reception Options
The Aspen Terrace Ceremony Site
This is a ceremony site in a secluded woodland setting with a cobblestone path, towering pine trees, and theater-style bench seating. The ceremony arbor is framed by stacked red pave stone, creating a naturally elegant atmosphere that blends seamlessly into the surrounding forest. Perfect for that romantic mountain wedding feel!
Evergreen Wedding Terrace Ceremony Site
This terrace is for a more intimate wedding ceremony. It is a dreamy, light-filled space surrounded by tall trees and flowering shrubs. Tan sandstone steps lead to the ceremony site, where a soft wood arbor and sandstone-colored pavers set the stage for an effortlessly beautiful celebration.
The Lower & Upper Level Reception Spaces
When it’s time to celebrate, couples can choose between the Upper and Lower Level reception spaces, each offering a distinct ambiance. The Upper Level boasts elegant tray ceilings, dark wood floors, and expansive windows that provide stunning views of the surrounding meadow and pine forest. The adjacent cocktail area offers a seamless flow, and guests can step onto the outdoor terrace adorned with twinkling bistro lights and space heaters for a cozy, mountain-inspired atmosphere.
For couples who love a rustic-chic aesthetic, the Lower Level provides a warm and inviting reception space. Featuring farm-style doors, wood art installations, and dark wood flooring, this level embraces a refined mountain lodge feel. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space, while the stone fireplace adds a cozy touch for an unforgettable evening of dining and dancing. Outside, the lower terrace provides a gorgeous cocktail area, surrounded by lush greenery and an inviting bar that enhances the venue’s laid-back yet sophisticated feel.
Getting to The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings
Guests arriving from Denver can expect a drive of about half an hour, while it would take about 45 minutes from Boulder and about an hour to an hour and a half from Colorado Springs.
Why Choose The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings
There are so many reasons couples fall in love with this venue! As a Colorado wedding photographer I really love the forest-y fairytale feeling this venue brings to your day. It’s especially beautiful close to sunset when the string lights come on under the trees!
Just a little tip—since you’re under a canopy of trees, the sun dips behind the mountain earlier than you’d expect. If photos are a priority, plan extra time before sunset so you don’t feel rushed.
Another benefit couples love is how convenient it is to get here! While many Colorado wedding venues require a long drive deep into the mountains, which can make logistics tricky for couples and guests. The Pines gives you that secluded, nature-filled feel while being only 30 minutes from downtown Denver, making it really easy for you and your loved ones.

The Pines by Wedgewood Wedding Inspiration
Elizabeth and Cam’s wedding at The Pines was a perfect example of how this venue effortlessly blends elegance with a laid-back, fun-filled atmosphere. From the whimsical florals to the twinkle-lit ceremony tucked beneath towering pines, their wedding felt like something straight out of a storybook.
After exchanging vows beneath the trees, we wandered through the evening light for portraits, soaking in every last bit of that dreamy setting before heading into their reception. The reception was a joyful celebration, filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and a packed dance floor.
One of my favorite details of the day was the late-night snack of hot dogs and their matching tennis shoes! This truly showed how your day can be so classy and beautiful, and uniquely personal.
