Everything you need to find your way to Evergreen
The Venue
27608 Fireweed Dr, Evergreen, CO 80439
We are thrilled to have our wedding at the historic Center Stage Theater in downtown Evergreen, Colorado. Built in 1924, it has been the centerpiece of Evergreen performing arts ever since. While it's a well-weathered location, it is near and dear to the hearts of many in our community, including myself. As the former President of Ovation West Performing Arts (the organization that owns and operates the theater), I have had many meaningful moments there, and Nathan and I are so excited to create this meaningful moment with all of you in this very special place!
Where to Stay
We have blocked off the Highland Haven Creekside Inn for the weekend (yes, the whole place!). The historic inn, which is within easy walking distance to Center Stage, has 18 rooms and suites and can accommodate up to 48 people, making it the perfect location for our out-of-town guests (or in-town guests wanting a little staycation). It is a quaint and beautiful creekside spot located right between Center Stage and downtown Evergreen, so we encourage you to book a room and enjoy all the beauty and charm that Evergreen has to offer. We have the inn blocked for the nights of May 7th and May 8th, but please feel free to make a long weekend of it and book an extra day or two!
To book a room, please call the Highland Haven directly at 303.674.3577. You won't be able to book through the website (it will show all rooms as booked). A one-night deposit will be required at the time of booking. Our room block will be held through March 24, 2027, so book early to make sure you get a room. Questions? Reach out to Roxy at info@highlandhaven.com.
If you prefer to stay elsewhere, or if Highland Haven is fully booked, here are a few options available within a reasonable distance to the venue:
Just off I-70
Comfort Suites Golden West
Just off of I-70 at the Evergreen exit — an easy, reliable option with a quick drive to the venue.
West of Downtown Evergreen
The Alpine Way Chalet Mountain Lodge
Just west of downtown Evergreen, with a cozy mountain-lodge feel close to the action.
Between Evergreen & Kittredge
Colorado Bear Creek Cabins
Tucked between Evergreen and Kittredge along the creek — a quieter, more secluded option.
There are also many local and nationwide chain options "down the hill." If you would like help selecting, just let us know what you're looking for!
Weather Conditions
Planning what to pack? May weather at 7,000ft can be unpredictable, and layers are always a good call. There will be a brief walk from most parking areas or the hotel to the venue so please wear comfortable shoes.
