Weddings
The Aspen Chapel situated at the entrance to Aspen offers a 2,500 foot Sanctuary with hard wood floors and moveable chairs. The historic stained glass windows filter an amber light creating a magical glow through the room.
We have a state of the art media center.
Downstairs in the Gallery offers 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, and carpeted floor space. The walls are adorned with a revolving art show.
The Aspen Chapel greets all visitors to Aspen, standing idyllically at the roundabout with presence and grace. This iconic building is the perfect place to hold the wedding of your dreams. We consider each wedding unique and strive to make your ceremony both a joyful and spiritual celebration.
And we have on-site parking for over 50 cars.
Locations
Wedding ceremonies are held in our Sanctuary or in the Garden. Our Gallery space or Garden is ideal if you wish to hold your reception here as well.
Pastoral Consultation
Our minister, Nicholas Vesey, is an ordained Episcopalian priest that is well versed in many wisdom traditions and can offer a traditional wedding service or customize an inter-faith wedding service for couples at the Chapel or away.
The Aspen Chapel honors all wedding couples who want to join in matrimony whether you use our minister or your own officiant.
