Cheyenne Mountain Resort spreads across the south side of Colorado Springs along Broadmoor Valley Road, and the property is large enough that its ceremony and reception spaces do not all share the same entrance. That is the real transportation challenge here. It is not getting guests to the resort, it is getting them to the correct part of it. A wedding shuttle bus drops the whole group at the right door instead of leaving drivers to circle a property they have never seen.
This guide covers how we run guest transportation for a Cheyenne Mountain Resort wedding, from the Broadmoor Valley Road approach to the late night ride back to the hotel block. If your date is set, call 719-662-7900 or check pricing and availability on a shuttle bus, and we will map the route to your ceremony site. Charter Bus Rental Company Colorado Springs handles these south side wedding runs throughout the season.
Why a Cheyenne Mountain Resort Wedding Calls for Group Rides
The resort holds events up to about 500 guests, which puts a lot of vehicles on one access road if everyone drives separately. Most couples here pull guests from out of town who are staying on the south side near The Broadmoor, plus local family coming from across the Springs. Getting that whole group to the ceremony on time means one arrival window, not a slow trickle of cars searching for the lakeside lot.
When your planner confirms the specific site, whether it is the lakeside lawn or a terrace, we set the drop point to match so guests are not walking the long way around in formal shoes. Knowing the right door before the day saves the kind of scramble that turns a five minute arrival into twenty.
Broadmoor Valley Road Arrival and Lakeside Drop Off Points
Cheyenne Mountain Resort is the anchor for this trip, and its size shapes the plan more than its location does. It sits at 3225 Broadmoor Valley Road, roughly 15 minutes from downtown hotels and a few minutes from The Broadmoor under normal traffic.
Many guests stay right on the resort grounds, which makes the morning simple because the shuttle bus stages at the resort lobby. When the block overflows to The Broadmoor next door, we add that as a second stop on the way in. The two properties are close enough that one vehicle can serve both without adding much time to the schedule.
A few staging details we plan around at the resort:
- Confirm the exact ceremony site early, since the lakeside and terrace spaces use different drop points.
- On site guests load at the lobby, so the first pickup is quick and the driver knows the property.
- Large counts move best when the resort block and any Broadmoor overflow are sequenced into one inbound run.
Reserving Early for a Peak Season Resort Wedding
South side weddings cluster in late spring through early fall, and the resort books popular Saturdays well ahead. We tell couples to reserve transportation once the ceremony time and the room block are confirmed, which is often six to nine months out for a Cheyenne Mountain Resort date. Booking early also lets us pin the vehicle count to the guest list before the calendar tightens.
Sizing here depends on how many guests stay on property versus off. A 25 to 35 passenger minibus can serve a smaller wedding when everyone is at the resort lobby, while a full shuttle bus carries a larger list in one load. If the block spills to The Broadmoor, tell us during planning so we can add the stop rather than improvise on the day. For longer holds with older guests aboard, the climate controlled cabin and onboard restroom on larger vehicles matter more than they do on a quick hop.
Matching Vehicle Size to Your Guest List
The right vehicle depends on your count, where guests sleep, and how tight the ceremony start is. We size to the trip rather than pushing the biggest coach available, and you can compare options on our 35-passenger minibus and 56-passenger charter bus pages.
- Under 35 guests staying on property: a single minibus and a short return run covers the night.
- 35 to 55 guests at the resort: a full shuttle bus in one load, with a held ride back later.
- Guests split between the resort and The Broadmoor: a larger vehicle with a planned second stop.
Couples comparing Pikes Peak venues often look at a Garden of the Gods Resort shuttle plan, a historic Briarhurst Manor wedding in Manitou Springs, or a downtown wedding at The Pinery at the Hill. The venue changes the route, but the staging logic carries over. Our full lineup lives on the wedding shuttle and bus rental service page.
Cheyenne Mountain Resort Wedding Transportation Costs
Wedding shuttle pricing comes down to your date, the hours you hold the vehicle, and how many stops the schedule includes. For reference, a shuttle bus generally costs around $155 to $450 per hour or $1,520 to $3,655 per day, based on your dates and plans. Most resort weddings hold the vehicle for an evening block rather than a full day. For exact pricing on your date, call 719-662-7900, or see current shuttle bus rates on our charter bus prices page.
Guests driving up from Pueblo and the south can meet the group at the resort or at The Broadmoor block and ride in from there, which keeps the resort lots from filling with one off cars during arrival.
An Evening Wedding Shuttle Schedule at the Resort
Here is how a Saturday evening ceremony tends to run with a roughly 110 guest list, most staying on property, on a full shuttle bus. Adjust the clock to your ceremony slot, but the order holds.
- 4:00 PM, driver stages at the resort lobby and confirms the count with your coordinator.
- 4:15 PM, second pickup at The Broadmoor for any overflow guests.
- 4:35 PM, drop at the ceremony site entrance with the group together.
- 5:00 PM, ceremony begins.
- 9:30 PM, optional early ride back to the lobby and the block.
- 11:00 PM, final run returns the late crowd together.
Departure is the part worth planning at a resort this size. When the reception ends, the whole list heads for one exit at once, and a dark unfamiliar property is not where you want guests wandering to find a car. A shuttle bus staged and ready loads everyone in an orderly run, and the driver can time the last trip to the actual end of the night rather than a guess on the invitation.
End of night loading at the resort has its own rhythm. One wave wants to leave right after the send off while a second group stays through the last song, so we plan two distinct pickups instead of forcing everyone out at once. The driver stages at the same entrance the group used on the way in, which guests can find in the dark, and holds until your coordinator signals the floor is clearing. That keeps anyone from standing out on Broadmoor Valley Road waiting on a ride while the after party is still going inside.
