About Us
more than just a venue

Our History
The Tack Shed on Bridal Bay started as a simple horse stable and corral. It's name still honors that rich past while embracing a new chapter. But our story is about more than just the past, it’s shaped by the stunning landscape that surrounds us.
Nestled along the historic shores of Lake San Cristobal in Lake City, Colorado, our venue is one of the rare properties with an unobstructed view of Sleeping Ute Peak, named after a great warrior by the native Ute tribe who first settled here. The Tack Shed holds an undeniable magic, a uniqueness that sets it apart from any other cabin in Lake City.
Enjoy the feeling of a remote location without having to "rough it" on your best day ever. From the sandy shore of the lake to the majestic mountain backdrop, our venue combines history, nature, and modern comforts to create the perfect setting for unforgettable wedding celebrations.
Whether you’re exchanging vows by the water or dancing under the stars, The Tack Shed on Bridal Bay is the place to begin your next chapter.

Meet Christine & Derek Fletcher
A competitive water-skier from the Lake of the Ozarks, Christine has always been drawn to the water. During an adventurous career orchestrating domestic and international trade shows, she met Derek - an avid angler, wildlife and outdoor enthusiast. These lake lovers knew their adventures didn’t end at the altar but simply marked the start of a new chapter.
It was love at first sight when they discovered The Tack Shed. From the moment she stepped onto the property, Christine thought, “I wish we had gotten married here." And since that was 20 years in the rearview mirror, her next immediate thought was, “I hope my future daughters-in-law will.” Until then, Christine and Derek feel blessed to call The Tack Shed their home and enjoy sharing this idyllic setting with others.
Coupled with event management expertise from a 30-year career, Christine & Derek are able to curate unforgettable experiences. They invite you to become part of The Tack Shed’s rich history as you embark on your own adventure.
