Some guests have varying budgets, so it is important to factor in cost associated with your hotel or condo rental. Hotels in Telluride range from lavish 5 star amenities to economy minded travelers. An advantage to booking a hotel in Telluride or Mountain Village is that your wedding party will be at the same location which provides easy access to all persons involved with the ceremony and reception.

Telluride condo rentals are also a popular option for guests who want the spaciousness of a 1-4 bedroom unit.
