GET MARRIED AT CHAUTAUQUA!

We would be honored to host your wedding at Chautauqua. Our quiet mountain setting is the perfect space for a small, intimate, heartfelt wedding. Founded in 1898 and named a National Historic Landmark in 2006, Chautauqua has held a special place in the hearts of the Boulder community for more than 100 years. It's the perfect place to celebrate one of the most important events of your life.

Your event is special; don't entrust it to just anyone. We're happy to provide recommendations for caterers, florists, photographers, and other vendors, and we can help advise you on room setup, wedding day timing/logistics, and other planning questions. View a list of our recommended caterers.

In addition to weddings, we host a variety of memorial services, reunions, banquets, anniversaries, bar/bat mitzvahs, and holiday gatherings. There are two primary venues to choose from for your Chautauqua wedding or social event:

THE GRAND ASSEMBLY
The Community House's main room, the Grand Assembly Hall, is the crown jewel of Chautauqua. Built in 1917, it holds many years of happy memories! The room is all warm wood, surrounded by shelves of antique books, with a bay window at one side. The room has a gas fireplace and a baby grand piano. There's a wrap-around balcony inside, and a covered porch outside overlooking a garden with a brick path. The space also includes a kitchen, buffet/dining area, and a bridal changing room.

The Grand Assembly is 1,404 square feet and can accommodate up to 75 people.

Fees for events in the Grand Assembly vary by season and by day of the week; please contact us for a quote.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS' CLUB
The completely renovated, historic Rocky Mountain Climbers' Club Room, is 990 square feet and will accommodate up to 60 people theater-style or up to 40 people banquet-style. It's perfect for a small, elegant wedding or reception, a luncheon, or an intimate meeting or business retreat. This room has gorgeous all-around interior stone walls, and the gas fireplace provides a lovely, warm ambience. Make your reservations now for your intimate event in this Chautauqua gem!

THE AUDITORIUM TERRACE
A lovely flagstone patio adjacent to the Auditorium, the Terrace is the perfect spot for a quiet, elegant outdoor ceremony. It is reached by a short flight of stairs and overlooks a garden with a brick path. The Terrace has a stunning view of the Flatirons, holds up to 75 people, and is partially covered by a canopy during the summer months. Public restrooms are located nearby, under the Dining Hall. A limited number of tables and chairs are available. The Terrace makes a perfect spot to hold your ceremony, with your reception in the Grand Assembly. Rental fee for the Terrace is $100 per hour, with a four-hour minimum.

PLEASE NOTE: The Terrace cannot accommodate private events on dates when the Auditorium is in use. Therefore, Terrace reservations for May through October cannot be booked until the summer Auditorium schedule is finalized, usually not until late April of each year. (We realize this makes it difficult to plan summer weddings; we apologize for the inconvenience.)

Beer, wine, and champagne only are allowed at Chautauqua venues when served by your caterer. Please help us preserve our quiet surroundings by using your music and alcohol as a subtle background and to toast your event, rather than as the main forms of entertainment at a party. For more information about permissible event decorations, food, alcohol, music/dancing, hours, parking, etc. at Chautauqua weddings and social events, please see our Conditions for Use.

Site visits vary daily according to our event schedule and staff hours; please contact us in advance for an appointment. If you would like to schedule a tour or are interested in booking an event, please call us at 303-952-1618, or contact allisonfaulconer@chautauqua.com. If leaving a message, please include the expected number of attendees, preferred dates and times, and the nature of your event.
