    If you’re looking for an amazing venue for a wedding in Ouray, the search is over! The Wright Opera House was a dream. We got married in July 2024. Originally we thought about an outdoor wedding, but because we wanted guests to be comfortable and have access to bathrooms, we quickly changed that plan. The Wright was a great alternative. The inside is so beautifully restored. If you love a vintage feel, but want modern accommodations, this is the place. The bar package was very reasonably priced, and we could customize how we wanted. We brought in our own catering. The Wright had tables and chairs and linens for us. The overall price was extremely reasonable for a wedding venue. Our guests loved it! We got so many compliments, seriously. The staff was lovely and easy to coordinate with. Also, it is a handicap accessible building, which was a must for our guests. My favorite thing about the Wright was the murals on the walls in the theater. So beautiful! Choose the Wright, you can’t go wrong! And! They have a lovely area for the bride to get ready downstairs.
