Planning a mountain wedding in Summit County means your celebration usually starts long before the "I do's." At Majestic Mountain Events, we understand that a casual, high-energy welcome party before the big day, or even a spot to continue the party the next day with mimosas, sets the perfect tone for a Colorado wedding weekend.
If you’re searching for a venue that combines authentic mountain vibes, a private event space, and a budget-friendly price tag, look no further than HighSide Brewing in Frisco, Breckenridge, or FairPlay, CO.

Why HighSide Brewing is the Ultimate Welcome Party Venue
When it comes to hosting a welcome party at HighSide Brewery, you get the best of Summit County culture without the "resort tax." It is one of our favorite spots for couples who want a relaxed atmosphere where guests can mingle freely.
1. Private Area for Your Party
Privacy is key, even at a brewery. HighSide offers a dedicated private event area, allowing your group to have its own bar and seating while still soaking in the industrial-chic brewery ambiance. This space is perfect for intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, ensuring that your event feels special and exclusive.
2. Amazing Craft Beer & Onsite BBQ
Nothing says "Welcome to the Rockies" like a cold pint and smoked meats. HighSide is famous for its mountain-crafted beers—from crisp lagers to West Coast IPAs. Their onsite BBQ menu makes catering incredibly simple and cost-effective; think pulled pork, brisket, and all the classic sides that keep guests happy and full. Your guests will love the flavors of Colorado!
3. Lower Budget, High Value
Let’s be honest: wedding costs add up. HighSide Brewing is perfect for a lower budget party compared to traditional ballroom venues. You get a stunning location in the heart of Frisco without the massive site fees, allowing you to spend more on what matters—like the guest experience! This means more fun and less stress for you.
4. Bring in a Band
Want to kick things up a notch? The space is designed to handle live music or a local band. At Majestic Mountain Events, we can help you coordinate the perfect bluegrass trio or acoustic duo to provide the soundtrack to your mountain sunset. Imagine dancing the night away with your loved ones under the stars!
From the Ceremony to the Celebration
While HighSide is a premier choice for a Friday night welcome, it’s also the ultimate "after-party" hub. Many of our couples choose to have a stunning, scenic ceremony at a nearby outdoor site and then head to HighSide for the reception or late-night drinks.
Nearby Ceremony Locations
If you are getting married at one of these iconic local spots, HighSide is just minutes away:
Dillon Marina Park Pavilion: Breathtaking views of the reservoir and easy access.
Windy Point Campground: A rustic, lakeside favorite for mountain lovers.
Frisco Wedding Deck: Perched with views of the Tenmile Range.
Frisco Town Park: A versatile and charming spot in the heart of town.
The Ten Mile Station Connection
For those looking for a high-alpine experience, Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge offers a grander, more formal setting. We often see couples host their formal rehearsal dinner at Ten Mile Station and then invite the rest of their guest list to join them for "Welcome Drinks" down the road at HighSide Brewing!

Additional Tips for Your Mountain Wedding
Embrace the Outdoors
One of the best parts of a mountain wedding is the stunning natural backdrop. Consider incorporating outdoor elements into your ceremony and reception. Think about using local flowers, natural wood decor, and even outdoor games for guests to enjoy.
Plan for the Weather
Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Be sure to have a backup plan in case of rain or unexpected changes. Tents can be a great option for outdoor ceremonies, ensuring that you and your guests stay comfortable no matter what.
Capture the Moment
Hiring a talented photographer who knows the area can make a huge difference. They can help you find the best spots for stunning photos that capture the beauty of the mountains and the joy of your celebration.
Personalize Your Celebration
Make your wedding uniquely yours by adding personal touches. This could be anything from custom cocktails to a photo slideshow of your journey together. Your guests will appreciate the effort and feel more connected to your story.
Enjoy Every Moment
Finally, don’t forget to take a moment for yourselves. Weddings can be overwhelming, but remember to enjoy the day. Take a breath, soak in the atmosphere, and celebrate your love with those who matter most.
By following these tips and choosing the right venue, your mountain wedding will be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. Let's make your dream wedding a reality!
