Loveland, Colorado offers many treats to the wedding couple.

In this day and age when you can hop on a plane and be married anywhere in the world, why would you choose Loveland Colorado? Maybe it’s because you love the idea that your marriage license will read, “'The Sweetheart City' Loveland Colorado”.

Maybe it’s all the friendly people you met when you vacationed here as a child. Perhaps you have seen our gorgeous lake in the middle of town with the majestic Rockies as a backdrop, or you know that a honeymoon in the inspiring Rocky Mountains is only a short drive away (that's why we're known as "The Gateway to the Rockies".

If you love bronze sculptures, then you already know that Loveland is world-renowned for our art and hosts the largest outdoor sculpture show in the world. We have adorned many of our parks and businesses with beautiful works of art, it's hard to go anywhere in town without seeing it.
