The River Pavilion at Noah’s Ark
Tucked along the Arkansas River just six miles south of Buena Vista, The River Pavilion at Noah’s Ark is a wedding venue that brings natural beauty, rustic charm, and effortless hospitality together in one unforgettable setting. With the majestic Collegiate Peaks towering in the background and the sound of the river running beside you, it’s a dream location for couples looking to celebrate their love in the heart of the Colorado Rockies.
A Riverside Venue with Mountain Views
The River Pavilion is more than just a wedding venue — it’s an experience. The covered, open-air pavilion features glass garage doors that open to stunning river and mountain views. With log benches, cocktail hour spaces, fire pits, and yard games, the venue encourages connection and celebration in a relaxed, outdoor atmosphere.
The riverside ceremony site offers the kind of Colorado backdrop most couples only dream of: sparkling water, towering pines, and panoramic views of the 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration of up to 150 guests, this setting elevates every moment.
