Celebrate your wedding with the touches of an intimate luxury vacation.

Wedding guests at C Lazy U have private use of the ranch’s 8,500 acres, allowing family and friends to participate in ranch activities to make lasting memories and form even stronger bonds — all centered on a celebration of love and the blending of two families.
Treat Your Guests to the C Lazy U Ranch Experience
For your destination wedding, up to 70–90 guests stay two nights at the ranch, where they are treated to the same superior service we offer to all guests. Weddings are always buy-out events so the only guests on-ranch will be yours. Rates for guests include:

- Gourmet meals
- Ranch activities include horseback riding
- The award-winning Lazy You Spa is open throughout the year for the bride and groom and wedding guests
A Ranch Wedding Venue Available Year Round

Wedding Ceremonies at C Lazy U Ranch
C Lazy U guests have always admired the natural beauty of the ranch’s surroundings, which is why we have handpicked and designed four unique ceremony sites at our mountain wedding venue in Granby, Colorado.
Wedding Ceremony Sites
Woodsie Overlook: Perched high above the ranch, this soaring spot overlooks the gentle waters of Willow Creek Reservoir.**
Majestic Pond: Expansive meadows with a rolling mountain backdrop surround a pristine green lawn nestled next to the ranch pond for a quiet, intimate wedding.
Main Lodge: Surround yourself in history at the Main Lodge, one of our most cherished sites that was built 70 years ago with timber from our very own hillside.
Hay Meadow: Arrive in a horse-drawn sleigh to this sprawling field, which is covered in snow in the winter and wildflowers in the summer.
Wedding Receptions at C Lazy U Ranch
Each reception site includes tables and seating, linens, dinnerware, service staff and dinner service.
Wedding Reception Sites
Hay Barn: The Hay Barn evokes the quintessential western atmosphere, and has hosted some of the best barn weddings in Colorado. Its interior boasts antler chandeliers, charming string lighting, a lofted lounge area, large dance floor and two bars.**
Main Lodge: Historic and rustic, the Main Lodge offers a cozy saloon-style bar and a formal log dining room for an intimate reception.
Patio House: The poolside deck at the Patio House offers indoor and outdoor seating, multiple fire pits, lawn games, a dance floor and an ice cream parlor.
Buying Out the Ranch
In order to provide exclusivity and provide the perfect wedding experience, wedding parties are required to rent out the entire ranch May through October for a minimum of two nights. The ranch does not require a full ranch buyout forweddings November through April.The wedding party is responsible for guaranteeing the space and C Lazy U Ranch structures this into one easy to understand buyout price so you know exactly what your wedding is going to cost.
Buyout pricing includes:
- All Site Fees
- Standard linens, flatware, glassware, dinnerware, lighting and décor
- Accommodations on Ranch for the Wedding party and all guests
- Gourmet Dining
- Activities for you and your guests
- Taxes and Resort Fees
Exclusive Buyout Pricing
| Maximum Number of People | Maximum Number of People | Buyout Price Per night | Two Night Wedding Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| November – April | 70 | $50,586 | $101,000 |
| May – October | 80 | $65,500 | $131,000 |
What is My Guest’s Cost to Attend the Wedding?
In other words, what is their cost to attend the wedding and have their own room since that is included in the inclusive buyout price?
This is entirely up to the wedding party. Some weddings choose to host the entire wedding and their guests don’t pay for anything. Other weddings choose to set a nightly rate for their guests to pay at their own expense. If you choose to do this the ranch recommends the wedding sets a nightly per person per night rate of $250 to $300 for their guests. The ranch’s reservation department can explain all of the inclusions outside of the hosted wedding events such as meals and activities.
The C Lazy U provides some of the most romantic wedding experiences. Please do not hesitate to contact our Wedding Sales Team at info@clazyu.com should you have any questions.
Please note: As an “all-inclusive” destination, we are unable to accept inquiries for ‘a la carte’ one-day wedding ceremonies and receptions. Two-night minimum stays apply.
*Weddings are not held at C Lazy U Ranch from the second week of June to the second week of August, as it is reserved for family vacations requiring a 7-night minimum stay.
**Not available in the winter
Testimonials
Words cannot express our gratitude for the incredible experience we had at the ranch for Amanda and Ben’s wedding this last weekend. Aside from the beauty of the ranch, fabulous accommodations, activities, delicious food and beverages, the ability of your staff to shift from the long-arranged Spring wedding plans to a Winter wonderland affair in a matter of hours was simply amazing. While we were appreciative of the warmth, friendliness and assistance provided by all of your staff, in particular I would like to give a shout out to both Henderson and Julia, who both went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable and fun. I literally cannot wait for another opportunity to visit the ranch, and as a wedding professional myself, will recommend it to all my customers seeking a truly unique, joyful, fun-filled destination wedding.

Our wedding was perfect and we owe it all to the C Lazy U staff. Thank you so much for all your hard work and continued attention to detail. Everyone I talked to had a wonderful time, including Peter and myself. When it was all over I said to Peter, “can we do this again?” Thanks again for all your hard work to make our wedding everything we could have imagined.
– Melissa & Peter
You are incredible. I know I didn’t give you much guidance, and I left you to make some of the big decisions (because let’s be honest…I’m not the best at decisions!), but oh my goodness you could not have done a more perfect job! It was absolutely a dream come true for the both of us…it was the wedding we prayed and hoped for and so much more!
– Mikey & Bree

Chris and I have had time to reflect on our experience and are beyond grateful for the gift you and the Ranch were capable of giving us. Our wedding was truly special.

– Emily & Chris
