Heck yes you can elope or have a small wedding and still get a venue! Venues are great because often times they can help with planning logistics like finding you a caterer, planners, or day of coordinators. Here is a list of some of my favorite small wedding venues around Western Colorado (from Grand Junction as far south as Silverton, and from Aspen to Moab).

While some of these venues can fit way more than 20 people, they all include super photogenic and beautiful spaces.
