Why The RedBird, an Indoor-Outdoor Forest Wedding Venue, is Perfect for Your Big Day
Your wedding day is a celebration of love, connection, and the beginning of a new journey. The setting you choose plays a huge role in creating the atmosphere and memories that will last a lifetime. One of the most magical and versatile options? An indoor-outdoor forest wedding. Here’s why this unique setting (just outside of Colorado Springs, CO) offers the best of both worlds and why it could be the perfect choice for your big day.

There’s something undeniably enchanting about a forest setting. Towering trees, lush greenery, and dappled sunlight create a natural ambiance that’s both romantic and timeless. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony under a canopy of leaves or a reception illuminated by fairy lights, the forest provides a picturesque backdrop that needs little to no decoration.
2. Our Reception Barn Doubles as “Plan B”

One of the biggest challenges of an outdoor wedding is the unpredictability of the weather. With our indoor-outdoor venue, you get the best of both worlds: the beauty of nature paired with the security of an indoor space. If the weather cooperates, you can hold your ceremony outside among the trees. If not, you have the peace of mind of a cozy indoor space to accommodate your guests without sacrificing charm.
3. The RedBird’s 88-Acre Forest is Perfect for Stunning Photos

Elbert, Colorado’s Black Forest setting offers countless opportunities for breathtaking wedding photos. From golden hour portraits bathed in sunlight to moody, atmospheric shots among the trees, the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces ensures you’ll have a variety of backdrops. The interplay of natural light and the earthy textures of wood and greenery will make your wedding album truly unforgettable.
4. The RedBird Offers a Seamless Flow for Guests
An indoor-outdoor venue allows for an effortless flow between different parts of your wedding. Picture this: guests arrive and mingle in the wide open grassy areas for cocktail hour, transition to a forest clearing for the ceremony, and then move indoors for dinner before dancing on the outdoor dance floor under twinkle lights. This setup keeps the event dynamic while still cohesive, giving your guests an immersive experience.
5. A Natural and Relaxed Vibe Here at the RedBird Wedding and Event Venue
A forest setting inherently brings a sense of calm and connection to nature. Unlike more formal venues, an indoor-outdoor forest wedding feels warm and inviting, encouraging everyone to relax and enjoy the day. For couples who want their celebration to feel intimate and personal, this type of setting fosters that laid-back atmosphere.
6. Eco-Friendly Options
Many indoor-outdoor forest venues emphasize sustainability and eco-conscious practices, making it easier for couples to plan a green wedding. Using the natural surroundings as your décor reduces waste, while outdoor spaces often allow for creative ideas like biodegradable confetti or seed-paper wedding favors.
7. Room for Creativity
An indoor-outdoor forest venue is like a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch. Love rustic elegance? Incorporate wooden tables, greenery garlands, and soft candlelight. Prefer boho vibes? Add macramé accents, wildflowers, and a teepee lounge area. The versatility of the space lets you design a wedding that truly reflects your personality and style.
8. Memorable for Everyone
RedBird guests will love the unique experience of attending a wedding in such a special location. The combination of indoor comfort and outdoor adventure ensures that everyone, from your elderly relatives to your youngest flower girl, feels welcome and taken care of.
