United States

Aspen, Colorado — Heritage, Glamour, and Four Mountains

Equal parts alpine legend and modern luxury, Aspen delivers variety across Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass, with a dining scene that rewards lingering. Couples find themselves balancing adrenaline by day with candlelight and soft jazz by night.

• Signature moment: Private snowcat ride to a secluded lookout for a champagne toast.
• Après: Fondue fireside, where the wine cellar rivals the mountain views.

A Local Light: St. Mary Catholic Church on Main Street — stone, timber, and stained glass that glow warmly in winter dusk. A quiet place to pause together, where prayers rise as steadily as the snow.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming — Wild Beauty with a Gentle Side

Steep, storied terrain frames a landscape of quiet romance. Even if Corbet’s Couloir isn’t your line, the Teton views are a shared thrill. The town itself retains a frontier hush — lantern-lit streets, log cabins, and starlit skies that feel almost untouched.

• Signature moment: Soak in Granite Hot Springs under a winter sky, steam rising as snowflakes fall.
• Don’t miss: A sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge at golden hour, hooves crunching softly in the snow.

A Local Light: The Chapel of the Transfiguration, set within Grand Teton National Park, frames the peaks perfectly through its altar window. Many couples have stepped inside just to sit in silence, realizing the mountains themselves feel like cathedral walls.
