About

Located just a few blocks north of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado College is nestled near the foot of Pikes Peak and the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Our 90-acre, pedestrian-friendly campus is home to more than 1,665 trees and 20 separate gardens, providing a peaceful and serene landscape for corporate or social events. Guests to our campus will work with experienced Colorado event planners to design a Colorado College venue experience that makes the most of our state-of-the-art athletics facilities, smart classrooms, lecture halls, and theatres, as well as a variety of historical and uniquely designed spaces for banquets, private parties, and other special events.

Wedding Ceremonies at Colorado College

The Shove Memorial Chapel is one of Colorado College’s best-kept secrets. The chapel sits in the middle of the peaceful CC campus, the natural beauty that surrounds this gorgeous space. It’s a quiet and graceful space where anybody can enjoy a break from the buzzing around campus and to celebrate a happily-ever-after. Shove Chapel is Colorado College’s non denominational place of worship as well as a community gathering space for the most special of wedding day celebrations. With beautiful traditional architecture, cathedral ceilings, stained glass and a grand pipe organ, you and your guests will be dazzled. With stunning landscaping of lush green grasses and tall trees out front, you will have a perfect backdrop for photos that you’ll remember forever. The rich history that encompasses the Shove Memorial Chapel is one of a kind and a truly special space to say I do.
