Group weddings are growing in popularity—but not every venue is ready to handle the unique needs that come with them.

What if your best friends, siblings, or closest cousins wanted to tie the knot together, in one unforgettable event? What if sharing the date meant saving time, effort, and even budget—while still getting a wedding that feels entirely yours? That’s where The Gem comes in.

Set in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, The Gem is one of the few luxury venues equipped to host group weddings with both elegance and ease. This guide takes you behind the scenes to show how The Gem makes shared wedding days feel personal, well-orchestrated, and memorable for every couple involved.

 

What Are Group Weddings and Why Are They Trending?

Group weddings involve more than one couple sharing the same date, venue, or celebration space. These weddings can happen in the same ceremony or as separate events hosted on the same day.

Why couples choose group weddings:

• Share a special date with friends or family
• Combine planning efforts and costs
• Enjoy a larger, more festive celebration
• Create a memorable and unique experience
• Take advantage of joint travel and vendor perks

 

This concept is especially popular for destination weddings or close-knit groups wanting to celebrate together.

 

Why The Gem Is Ideal for Hosting Group Weddings

The Gem is uniquely suited for group weddings thanks to its:

• Multiple ceremony and reception areas

• Sound and lighting setups that can be reconfigured quickly

How The Venue Layout Supports Simultaneous Ceremonies

The Gem’s floorplan is spacious and versatile. Its multi-room design allows ceremonies and receptions to happen independently or as a coordinated flow, depending on what each couple prefers.

Benefits of the layout:

• Privacy and separation when needed
• Shared spaces like lounges, patios, or bars
• Direct access to outdoor views and indoor comforts
• Smooth movement of guests from one event zone to another

 

Staff can also use lighting and furniture arrangements to divide the space in a tasteful, non-disruptive way.

 

 

How to Personalize Your Group Wedding Experience

Even in a shared celebration, every couple wants their moment to shine. At The Gem, the team ensures each love story feels distinct with customized elements.

Personalization options include:

• Separate ceremony scripts and musical selections
• Unique floral arrangements or color themes per couple
• Individual seating areas and signage
• Custom menus or cake designs
• First-look and private photography sessions for each couple

 

You can preview these touches through real couple features.

Absolutely. Many couples worry that a group wedding might feel rushed or impersonal—but at The Gem, that’s never the case. Their expertise ensures that even large shared events retain a sense of intimacy and meaning.

How they keep it personal:

• Thoughtful scheduling to avoid overlap or confusion
• Curated lighting and sound for emotional moments
• Dedicated spaces for vows, dinners, and dances
