Built in the late 1800’s, FREIGHT served as a train depot & lumber yard until becoming an event space in 2017 that primarily hosts barn weddings. With FREIGHT, You get the charm & texture of a barn wedding venue with the vitality of a saved historic landmark. To get married in a venue with such a powerful metaphor like a depot can only bring strength to your union.
FREIGHT’s depot houses the main hall, getting ready room, & bar. With 2,000’ of deck space, you can look out over the courtyard & Continental Divide or wave at the tourist train that chugs by most days. Our state of the art sound system allows you to listen to your favorite tunes both inside & outside.
Perfect for cocktail hour or an on-site ceremony, the courtyard hosts the Whiskey Lime Lounge, Red Shed, and western dock of the depot. Our in-house beverage burro loves to wander the crowds, serving up delicious drinks with a smile.
The interior lifts your eye & your heart upward. With contemporary, custom chandeliers lighting up the 32’ ceiling & historic trusses, you can feel the grandeur of America’s train industry. A getting ready room, full service bar, catering kitchen, & accessible restrooms complete the package.
The Whiskey Lime Lounge is our set-piece, eye spy, whiskey sipping shed full of antiques from Leadville & the entire FREIGHT site. Available to guests of the hotel & depot, this fun nook in the courtyard can be used for hiding before walking down the aisle, couples photos, getting ready or just hanging out.
Our sunny, getting ready room off the main depot space is set up for wedding prep. With mirrors, plants & cushy velvet furniture, this room offers an oasis for intimate moments before a wedding.
