The Best Event-Friendly Small Wedding and Elopement Rentals in Aspen

With Airbnb elopements no longer being an option after events were banned at all of their rentals, we’ve started encouraging our couples to look on Vrbo instead. Here are our favorite event-friendly house rentals.

Rental rules and availability are subject to change, be sure to check the rules and reviews of a rental in case anything has changed since this document was created. And always contact the host for permission before booking a rental home to ensure that your specific small wedding or elopement plans are approved! Some affiliate links may be used, this costs you nothing.
