Weddings in Divide, Colorado
Divide, Colorado, sits nearly 9,200 feet above sea level on the Ute Pass just 25 miles west of Colorado Springs. The small town offers few accommodations for a destination wedding, but the scenic views make up for the lack of venues and catering services. The average temperature in the winter is below freezing, so weddings are better planned in the spring and summer months, when temperatures are moderate.
