An Intimate, Exclusive Event

Celebrate your wedding with the touches of an intimate luxury vacation. C Lazy U Ranch is small — not counting its acreage, that is — but lavish, with the ability to combine downhome vibes with elegance. 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:

A Ranch Wedding Venue Available Year Round

Weddings take place year-round at C Lazy U, as the ranch is just as breathtaking blanketed in snow as it is in flowers. The limited June and August wedding weekends typically book one to two years in advance.*

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

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 for weddings 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

From the Horse's Mouth

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Heather– She made sure we were happy and was always friendly and helpful Travis– he was so friendly and accommodating. Amelia and Bel– They went out of their way to make sure we were ok in a really friendly and fun way. 2 Ranch hands ( can't recall their names)– They took us hatchet throwing and were so encouraging and fun even though I was awful at it. All the bar staff and waiters and really everyone there was fantastic. What an experience! Can't wait to come back!
