LET YOUR EVENT COME TOGETHER HERE: WEDDINGS, CONFERENCES & BEYOND
Plenty to see and do around every corner, spacious gathering places, an excellent location on Interstate 70 and some of Colorado’s most breathtaking landscapes make Grand Junction a flawless destination for gatherings big and small. Don’t forget that Grand Junction Regional Airport is the fourth-busiest airport in the state, offering many direct flights to accommodate your conference attendees (learn more about flights on page 48).
WEDDINGS
There are so many unique sites to say “I do” — picture a backdrop of multicolored rock spires framed by clear blue skies at Colorado National Monument or imagine your processional among vineyards at Two Rivers Winery. Dazzle your guests with a ceremony on the Avalon Theatre’s rooftop terrace, where vistas of Downtown Grand Junction, the surrounding Book Cliffs, the Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument provide the perfect backdrop for vows and views you’ll cherish for a lifetime. The roomy mezzanine level is ideal for receptions.

MEETINGS
Grand Junction has over 3,100 hotel rooms and 73,000 square feet of meeting space at properties of various sizes that can accommodate any price range. Located at the heart of Downtown Grand Junction, Two Rivers Convention Center is the largest convention center between Denver and Salt Lake City and can host groups of up to 2,000 people in 23,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space.
Colorado Mesa University offers 20,000 square feet of indoor event space, including the 8,500-square-foot Meyer Ballroom accommodating 500 people. Chipeta Golf Course has the capacity to host up to 200, complemented by picturesque panoramas of the Book Cliffs and the golf course, also an excellent team-building opportunity.
TEAM BUILDING
Grand Junction abounds with activities that stimulate conversation and collaboration. Plan a ranger-led tour or group hiking excursion in Colorado National Monument, a ski trip to Powderhorn Resort or a First Friday outing in Grand Junction’s Certified Creative District. Tastings at wineries and vineyards such as Talon or Two Rivers wineries, both situated near Downtown Grand Junction by many meeting spaces and hotels, are also popular group outings.
If volunteering is part of your meeting’s agenda, there is no better way to learn about a city than spending a couple of hours with an organization with a mission that is important to the community, such as Western Slope Food Bank, Kids Aid Backpack Program, Roice-Hurst Humane Society or the Veterans Memorial Cemetery — just to name a few!
Affordable Lodging
Grand Junction is one of the most affordable places for groups of all sizes to visit in Colorado, especially when it comes to lodging — no matter what season. It’s your basecamp for Western Slope adventures.
