Planning a wedding in Colorado means planning for beauty, altitude, mountain roads, and logistics that most other states don't require. It also means creating an experience your guests will talk about for years.

This guide brings together every wedding resource we've published: comprehensive planning timelines, venue recommendations, vendor directories, transportation logistics, mountain road guides, and guest experience strategies.

Local or planning a destination wedding from out of state, these guides cover every detail — from the proposal to the honeymoon getaway.

Northern Colorado: venues in Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley and Estes Park have their own logistics. See the Northern Colorado wedding venue transportation guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Arion different from other car services?

Arion is a women-owned, locally operated luxury transportation company that runs its own fleet with Arion-trained chauffeurs. When a trip needs more capacity or reaches beyond our fleet, we add vetted Colorado PUC-permitted affiliate operators held to the same licensing and insurance standards, and Arion coordinates the trip start to finish. The team knows Colorado roads intimately, from I-70 mountain passes to downtown Denver one-ways.

Can I book same-day Arion service?

Same-day bookings are possible based on availability, but advance reservations are recommended — especially during peak seasons. Contact Arion's team to check current availability for your date and time.

How do I plan group transportation?

Start by confirming your headcount, dates, and key activities. Arion's team can coordinate multi-vehicle logistics for groups of any size, including staggered pickups, venue-to-venue transfers, and late-night returns.

Should I provide transportation for my wedding vendors?

For mountain weddings, providing vendor transportation (photographer, DJ, florist) ensures they arrive on time with their equipment. Many vendors include travel fees in their quotes — coordinated transportation can actually save money and reduce stress.

What time should wedding shuttles start running?

Start guest shuttles 60–90 minutes before the ceremony. Run continuous loops every 20–30 minutes rather than a single departure. After the reception, have the last shuttle depart 30 minutes after the event officially ends.

How do I book Arion transportation?

Book through ridearion.com or by calling Arion directly. The team typically responds within an hour and can accommodate most requests with 24-48 hours notice.

How many vehicles do I need for my wedding?

Plan one vehicle for the wedding party and guest shuttles at roughly one vehicle per 6–8 guests per wave, adding capacity for mountain venues where the round trip is long. Dispatch will build a timeline from your headcount, hotel blocks, and ceremony time.

When should I book wedding transportation?

Six to nine months out for June–September and any mountain venue; peak Saturdays and holiday weekends go earlier. A deposit holds vehicles while your final timeline is still moving.
