What makes your venue unique? Our location with gorgeous mountain views can�t be beat and the value of our all-inclusive wedding packages is excellent. We only host one wedding each day so we can guarantee our couples that their events will be private, personalized, and catered to their exact specifications. Name one interesting or fun fact about your venue. We have an amazing executive chef, Nick Fuster, who hunts organic mushrooms in our scenic mountain area. Many of our couples in the summer and fall months enjoy the vegetarian wild mushroom risotto dish that include mushrooms hand-picked by chef Nick. Is there a particular time of the year that is exceptionally gorgeous at your venue? Each member of our staff loves different months for different reasons. We love seeing couples select a winter wedding date and hosting a cozy event in our pristine mountain setting. We especially love late September and early October weddings when all the aspens leaves turn to vibrant yellows and oranges and the weather is very comfortable. Do you have any advice for a bride and groom in selecting their wedding venue? Your wedding is a special day that�s all about you! Including unique aspects that define you as a couple will make the day even more significant, so plan your wedding the way that you want it. How far in advance should a couple book their venue? We recommend that couples start planning a year in advance so they may book an optimal date. As a venue that only hosts one wedding per day, our weekend dates tend to book out quickly. We have put together weddings with extremely short notice (72 hours is our record), but we recommend booking early!
