--- title: Planning Memorable Experiences by Colorado Retreat Co | Christina Lynn Christian description: Hi! I’m Christina; owner, operator, and founder of The Colorado Retreat Co. I started this business to ensure you have the perfect place to host your retreat, offsite, or wedding – complete with the supplies you need and the support you expect! For most of my career I've planned events and experiences at venues all over the world that bring people and communities together. Having my own unique destination to offer event organizers that were just like me has been a dream of mine for many years. In 2022 my husband and I purchased the Steel Horse and immediately recognized how incredibly special, serene, and one-of-a-kind it is. It's truly the ideal destination for intimate weddings, family reunions, friend gatherings, team offsites, and healing retreats – it’s also my dream come true. --- [![Colorado retreat venus](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo_(1200%20%C3%97%20800).png?width=800&height=533&name=Logo_(1200%20%C3%97%20800).png "Colorado retreat venus")](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/) - [Home](https://thecoloradoretreat.co) - [About](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/about) - Location Show submenu for Location - [The Steel Horse](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/location) - [Accommodations](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/accommodations) - [Blog](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/blog) - Host Events Show submenu for Host Events - [Wedding Retreats](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/weddings) - [Wellness Retreats](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/wellness-retreats) - [Team + Board Offsites](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/offsites) - [Contact](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/contact) - [Home](https://thecoloradoretreat.co) - [About](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/about) - Location Show submenu for Location - [The Steel Horse](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/location) - [Accommodations](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/accommodations) - [Blog](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/blog) - Host Events Show submenu for Host Events - [Wedding Retreats](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/weddings) - [Wellness Retreats](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/wellness-retreats) - [Team + Board Offsites](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/offsites) - [Contact](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/contact) # Blog ## Posts by Christina Lynn Christian: [![Ceremony Site at The Colorado Retreat Co.](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/hs-fs/hubfs/KIM_7133.jpg?width=596&name=KIM_7133.jpg)](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/blog/five-reasons-to-have-a-weekday-wedding) #### [5 Reasons to Have a Weekday Wedding](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/blog/five-reasons-to-have-a-weekday-wedding) ![Picture of Christina Lynn Christian](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20and%20David/Events%20-%20Offsites%20About%20your%20hosting%20partner.jpeg?width=30&name=Events%20-%20Offsites%20About%20your%20hosting%20partner.jpeg) [Christina Lynn Christian](https://thecoloradoretreat.co/blog/author/christina-lynn-christian) 12/10/25 8:00 AM ###### While weekends are the most popular choice for weddings, there are many benefits to having a weekday wedding – and the Steel Horse offers weekday wedding packages!  {% module\_block module "widget\_1686250896459" %}{% module\_attribute "child\_css" is\_json="true" %}{}{%...
