Any ideas for affordable venues close to Boulder?

Hi there! We will be getting married in mid Aug and are having a very small wedding. 15-20 guests at most.
We are hoping to get married outside. I think we found our officiant, but we just need a venue.
We had one, but due to the attitude of the staff there we decided not to use them. We are not religious and they pushed very religious ideas for our ceremony!
It's getting down to crunch time and I am freaking out...any and all ideas are much appreciated.(we are also willing to go into Denver or the mtns. so long as it's not too far)
Thanks in advance!

    Well, I will RE: to my own message. We have found that red rocks & Chautauqua park don't charge a thing if you have a small wedding party like we do.
    Now to decide where...What do you ladies think?
    Thanks and maybe this helps some of you too!

    What about a back yard wedding? its free and you don't have to worry about booking a venue. family? friends? just an idea...

    Good Luck! : )

    We are doing a meadow wedding; luckily a family friends back yard is the meadow.

    FWIW I think both are really beautiful.  I grew up near Red Rocks and I always liked that location.  However, I went to school in Boulder and Chautauqua is really great.  If I had to pick I would pick Chautauqua because I like Boulder and the park is nice.

    Hey ladies-
      So we've had to move our wedding to sept 4th due to family stuff. I'm a lil bummed, but hey, more time to plan! Thanks for all the ideas.

    We've picked finally! Looks like it'll be red rocks so long as we can work it all out :)
