What are the Best Times for a Ceremony at the Maroon Bells Amphitheater?
Ideally, the best time of day for a ceremony at the Maroon Bells Amphitheater would be about 2 hours before sunset! Because Maroon Bells is located in the mountains, the sun can set quicker. You definitely want to make sure you have plenty of daylight to soak up the incredible Colorado views! I personally recommend a late afternoon wedding at Maroon Bells. Or, if you’re more of a morning person, a mid-morning ceremony would provide beautiful views as well!
