While “wedding season” takes place in the spring and summer months, many couples desiring a unique celebration will find a wintry mountain location attractive. Many hotels, lodges, and resorts in snowy areas offer picturesque views, cozy décor, and the opportunity for winter-loving guests to get in a few ski runs between wedding festivities. While some couples choose to go all out and host their winter wedding ceremonies outside, there are plenty of indoor facilities that provide exceptional event spaces and gorgeous landscapes of the mountain scenery without the frigid temperatures.

We teamed up with the wedding specialists at Starwood Hotels & Resorts to find beautiful locations across North America that offer gorgeous spaces for your ceremony and reception. View six of our favorite mountain resort wedding venues below:
