The whiskey lime lounge

Part of history.

This little shack is a subversive part of Leadville’s mining history. Much in danger due to their dilapidation and tricky problem solving, the sheds of historic towns around the West are in short supply. Not this one though! Come play I spy or just think up good ideas while sipping whisky in our lounge off the courtyard.

    Freight was the perfect mountain chic wedding venue for our special day. Carrie and her team were prompt, responsive, and professional throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the wedding. They helped us set up our welcome table, guest book, and wedding gifts, and even packed everything up for us afterwards, sending us back to our room with leftover dinner and dessert - a delicious late night snack! The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that created the ideal mountain chic atmosphere we were going for. Carrie and her team made the wedding day stress-free, keeping everything organized and on schedule so we could just focus on enjoying the moment. We are so grateful to Freight for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

    Freight was the most perfect wedding venue for us. Mostly, I loved the western/ mountain/ country vibe to it, makes it very unique. It’s beautiful inside as well especially with the string lights. The staff was 10/10 amazing. I barely did a single thing on my wedding day, they had everything taken care of from set up to filling leftover food boxes for us. Loved the option to rent so many things through stellar and sage too. The indoor/ outdoor combo was absolutely perfect too. All of our friends/ fam are talking about how cool the venue was still. The cabins are an awesome bonus too to have friends/ fam right on site. Highly recommend!

    The entire Freight team was phenomenal to work with. The entire coordination process was streamlined and stress free. Nothing was missed, and everyone was a joy to work with and to be around. On top of everything, their vendor suggestions were top tier. Our day would not have been the same without this venue.

  • More than a venue!

    We held our wedding ceremony at Freight at the end of September 2023. We worked with Carrie who went above and beyond our expectations. Our friends and family loved it all. Freight will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I find myself looking for another reason to host an event there in the future. The floors, the furniture, the options - all so perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
